Spread too thin to manage by herself, help comes in the unlikely form of Joe (Lawrence) who, desperate for a job, moves in and becomes the family's "manny.

"WEEDS" SEASON 6 TEASE

Released by Miss TV Girl

To be very honest my commitment and interest in the show has really wavered since the whole move to San Diego/Tijuana.  So, with great delight  I was really happy with the Weed's new trailer for season 6? Because  the Botwin clan are packing their bags and taking their dysfunctional family on the run.

In Season 6, premiering on Monday, August 16 at , the Botwin family will not only encounter new places and new faces, but new identities for the characters themselves as they go into hiding after Shane murdered Pilar.

I am really hoping that this change of scenery will go a long way towards reinventing a show that had so much promise and originality during its first 3 seasons.

TERRENCE HOWARD JOINS "LAW & ORDER: LOS ANGELES

Released by Miss TV Girl

 Oscar nominee Terrance Howard is the latest actor to join NBC's "Law & Order:Los Angeles as a Deputy District Attorney

The 41-year-old  Howard will share office of Deputy D.A. duties with previously announced cast member Alfred Molina, who will portray Deputy D.A. Morales.


Each star will appear in approximately half of the episodes this season, following earlier seasons of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent. "The initial problem was scheduling, Molina made it very clear that he had commitments that would preclude him from doing all the episodes," Wolf said. "It quickly sort of evolved into a situation that we've utilized before."

Law & Order: Los Angeles premieres Wednesday, Sept 29

REID SCOTT JOINS SHOWTIMES'S "THE BIG C"

Released by Miss TV Girl

"The Big C" follows Cathy, a schoolteacher and suburban mother who tries to rebuild her life after her cancer diagnosis.

Since Scott's role is recurring, it won't conflict with his contract with TBS, which has still not decided whether to renew My Boys for a fifth season (Season 4 premieres July 25).

"The Big C" premieres Wednesday, August 16.

CBS CANCELS "THE BRIDGE"

 
 Released by Miss TV Girl

I have some good news and bad news for fans of the CBS drama "The Bridge"

Bad News


CBS has decided to pull the Saturday night drama after just three episodes.  There is no word on rather CBS will air the 10 remaining episodes at a later date.

Good News


Although the show has been cancelled in the US, it will continue to air in Canada. CTV begin airing the series back in March and completed the season in May.  "The Bridge" was successful enough to garner a second season for Canadian viewers.

What does all this mean?  Since it is highly unlikely that another network would pickup the low rated series, it doesn't look like  US viewers  will see the rest of this season or the second season.

MARY HART TO EXIT "ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT" AFTER 30 SEASON

 
 Released by Miss TV Girl

After 30 seasons with Entertainment Tonight, host Mary Hart will leave the successful syndicated show.

"I've had the privilege of spending 29 years doing something I love — how often does that happen?" Hart, 59, said in a statement. "I only meant to be at ET for three years, suddenly it's almost 30! I've reached a point when I clearly realize it's time for a change. There are many things I want to do in my life and I'd better get on with them."

 Lara Spencer, host of "The Insider" will replace Hart when show kicks off its 30th season on Sept 13.

I really hope this doesn't mean Samantha Harris will replace Spencer on "The Insider".  I seriously mean no disrespect toward Harris , but she is so annoying.

The cop drama, which debuted June 24 and  has been averaging 7.1 million viewers.

I tuned in for the first 3 episodes and was highly disappointed. The writing was horrible and  left zero to nothing in way of character development . We don't even know what streets the recruits are trying to protect.

To be honest, I really expected a lot more from the network that brought me  "NYPD Blue".

Despite the ongoing drama at work, Kat's life is going full throttle: she's writing her second book, introducing new products for her beauty line and expanding her shop, High Voltage, with a new event space next door.
 
She juggles the tattoo business, the burgeoning Kat Von D brand, her relationship with rocker and radio personality Nikki Sixx, while still connecting with fans and media worldwide. However, despite her success and unique lifestyle, Kat has a decision to make - does she leave the door open for Corey to return or does she take what she's learned and turn the page.

The switch to a new night was prompted by the strong performance of the series' 3rd season run where episode premieres achieved an average HH rating of 1.0 and was viewed by an average number of 1.4 million P2+ viewers.

SPOILERS: BIG BROTHER 12 (WEEK 4) NOMINATIONS AND POWER OF VETO WINNER

NOMINATIONS
    

POWER OF VETO WINNER 


Released by Miss TV Girl

It s the fourth week in the "Big Brother 12" house and Rachel has won her second Head of Household and once again her nominations are solely based  on her over the top erratic emotions.

Don't keep reading if you don't want to be spoiled.

Rachel nominated Hayden and Kristen for eviction, which is not surprising, considering how she and Kristen have been going at it since Thursday night's eviction of Andrew and the HOH competition.The arguments between the three started before the live show could even go off the air.

The house was sent into a major uproar following Andrew’s outing of the secret showmance between Hayden and Kristen.. However, the two continued to lie, denying a showmance and denying any kissing going on between them.


I am so over the Big Brother 12 showmances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Britney won the POV yesterday and of course Kristen is trying to convince her to use the POV on her, so that Kathy can go up in her place. Britney seems open to the idea but hasn’t decided yet. I really think it will be a big mistake if he decides to use it on either nominee, but why listen to me I predicted the demise of "The Brigade" by week 2 and their still going strong.
