DAVID ANDERS RETURNS FOR SEASON PREMIERE OF "THE VAMPIRE DIARIES"

Released by Miss TV Girl

As a big fan of David Anders I was saddened to see once again a character of his quick demise just as I was celebrating his return to yet another series. Well it has been revealed that Anders character, Jonathan Gilbert will appear in "The Vampire Diaries" second season premiere.

Anders did however, comment on the status of his return to EW

"That's up in the air right now."  "They haven't picked up [my] option yet. I feel like the character has a lot of legs and you can go in many different directions with him. But ultimately it's [executive producer] Kevin Williamson's choice."


I think we can all agree those stab wounds from the season finale seemed quite fatal, so I am not sure if we can expect to see him beyond the premiere, but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

"The Vampire Diaries" returns Thursday, Sept 9

BALTHAZAR GETTY EXITS "BROTHERS AND SISTERS"

 
 Released by Miss TV Girl 

One more cast member is saying goodbye to 'Brothers & Sisters and this time its a Walker.

Balthazar Getty will not return for Season 5 of the ABC family drama. 

An ABC spokesperson confirmed the exit, siting the upcoming one year jump as a way to phase out the Tommy character.

Getty's character, Tommy, will return to Seattle to be close to his estranged wife and daughter. Getty will not appear in the premiere episode on September 26, but his story will be wrapped up presumably in dialogue. 

The ABC spokesperson says there's no guarantee Getty won't guest star later in the season as it's still being written.

I am really upset at this news. Why? Because  I love the dynamics of the 5 brothers and sisters, so the exit of one sibling is very upsetting to me.  I know that he only appeared in about 5 episodes last season, but I was excited for his return each time and  I am pretty sure that he won't be around at all this season. 

Complete BUMMER.

SPIKE LEE RETURNS TO NEW ORLEANS FIVE YEARS AFTER KATRINA FOR IF GOD IS WILLING AND DA CREEK DON'T RISE, DEBUTING AUG. 23 AND 24, EXCLUSIVELY ON HBO

 
 HBO Press Release

Five years after Hurricane Katrina, director Spike Lee returns to New Orleans to see how the ambitious plans to reinvent the Crescent City are playing out in the all-new, four-hour documentary IF GOD IS WILLING AND DA CREEK DON'T RISE. He finds a patchwork of hope and heartache in a story that is book-ended by a pair of momentous events - the historic 2010 Super Bowl victory and the disastrous British Petroleum oil spill - that changed the history of America's most unique city once again.

The film debuts in two parts on MONDAY, AUG. 23 (9:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) and TUESDAY, AUG. 24 (9:00-11:00 p.m.), exclusively on HBO.
HBO playdates for both parts (presented back-to-back): Aug. 27 (7:00 p.m.), 29 (3:00 p.m.) and 31 (9:00 a.m.), and Sept. 4 (11:00 a.m.) and 8 (3:00 p.m.)

Other HBO playdate for Part 1: Sept. 13 (4:10 a.m.)

Other HBO playdate for Part 2: Sept. 14 (4:45 a.m.)

HBO2 playdates for both parts (presented back-to-back): Aug. 25 (8:00 p.m.) and Sept. 3 (4:00 p.m.), 12 (2:00 p.m.), 14 (1:00 p.m.), 22 (8:00 a.m.), 27 (1:55 a.m.) and 30 (11:00 p.m.)

IF GOD IS WILLING AND DA CREEK DON'T RISE continues the story of the rebirth of the Big Easy, begun in Lee's epic, Emmy(R)- and Peabody-winning 2006 documentary "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts." Alongside the city's storied ability to celebrate life with unmatchable ebullience, Lee documents the successes and failures in the ongoing efforts to restore housing, healthcare, education, economic growth and law and order to a battered but unbowed community.

"We knew when we finished the first film that the story wasn't over," says Lee. "It was clear it would take a long time for the city to get back on its feet."
Lee and his crew arrived in New Orleans in Feb. 2010 during a new wave of optimism, led by the Who Dat Nation, the community of passionate fans of the NFL champion New Orleans Saints football team. "The mood in New Orleans was great when we got there," Lee recalls. "They'd just won a Super Bowl. They had a new mayor and people's spirits were high."
New Orleanians were also encouraged by a series of legal victories that promised accountability for some of the devastating damage done to their homes by massive flooding during and after the storm. Notably, in Nov. 2009, a federal district court ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers was culpably negligent for poor maintenance of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet (MR-GO), a major navigation channel, which led to some of the worst flooding after Hurricane Katrina. The ruling paved the way for long-awaited financial restitution.

Amidst the ambitious plans to reinvent the city, Lee also uncovered a deep undercurrent of mistrust. Many residents say that recovery efforts mask an effort to transform the city famous for letting the good times roll into an "economic engine" that will benefit only an elite few.

A lack of affordable housing is one of several serious ongoing problems faced by the city's poor, especially the primarily African-American residents of the devastated Lower Ninth Ward and St. Bernard's Parish. The four large public housing developments have been shuttered, and rents have soared, with the average fair-market value of an apartment rising from $578 in 2005 to $881 in 2009. Only 38 percent of the private homes destroyed in the hurricane have been rebuilt.

"Some parts of the city are rebuilt," Lee notes. "But a lot of houses in those areas are in the same condition they were five years ago."

In many cases, private efforts are stepping into the void. Significant advances are being made by nonprofit reconstruction efforts like Make It Right, spearheaded by actor Brad Pitt, who has committed to restoring homeowners by building affordable "green," storm-resistant new homes in the Lower Ninth Ward.

PERSONS UNKNOWN TO WRAP EARLY, SKIPPED EPISODE WILL AIR ONLINE

 
 Released by Miss TV Girl


For those few fans out there, who have stuck with NBC's "Persons Unknown"  the network has decided to make yet again some changes to its schedule.

The first changes occurred , when after five weeks of poor ratings, the series was moved from Mondays to the “RIP” Saturday nights. The show’s been airing there for four weeks.

A move like this is usually followed by an immediate cancellation,well NBC has decided not to cancel the series and will air the remaining four episodes with a few minor adjustments

"Persons Uknown" will return Saturday with episode 10 (“Identity”). Some time after that, episode 11 (“Seven Sacrifice”), will be posted online.

The following week, on August 28th, NBC will air the final two installments; “And Then There Was One” and “Shadows in the Cave.”  Now I don't understand why they would air three and not all four, but I am happy that the show will give the people who have hung around since week one a conclusion. 

Persons Unknown follows the challenges of a group of strangers who wake up in a ghost town and are unable to leave.
