This Week in TV News

I know, I've been seriously slacking with the news updates, I had to shift
my priorities to finishing up exams for this year.

Here are a few tidbits from the TV new this week:

Glee delivered a fall finale that was all we hoped this show could be last Wednesday. Now we're left in a lurch with new episodes not resuming until April 2010! There may be good news in this cloud of a 4 month hiatus, there is talk that FOX will be producing original Glee material to fill the gap in the from of clips and music video.

New TV coming to NBC this January isn't too far off, NBC has released it's mid-season schedule, including the highly anticipating return of Chuck on Mondays at 8pm. Conspicuously missing from its Monday time slot is Heroes. No word yet on the show's uncertain future.

Awards shows seem to be on their way up starting with Neil Patrick Harris hosting the 2009 Emmys. Ricky Gervais, the man who took both British and American comedy TV by storm will be hosting this year's Golden Globes. Well picked hosts must really increase viewership because I will certainly be tuning in. Check out what Gervais has to say about his hosting duties in an interview with Daniel Manu from TWOP.com.

In film news, Natalie Portman will be staring in the film adaptation of Pride, Prejudice and Zombies. Maybe zombie movies have over saturated the market in the past few years, but that hasn't stopped my obsession. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing the film version of this new spin on the genre.
