Two CBS comedies get big renewals

The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men got big bangin' deals for an average of two-and-a-half seasons. The news is a bit anticlimactic, as it was previously reported that creator Chuck Lorre let the good news spill to his crew a while back.
The numbers break down as follows: Two and a Half Men, currently in its sixth season, will now air through the 2011-2012 season--taking it to a guaranteed ninth season (barring any unforeseen difficulties). The Big Bang Theory, currently in its second season, has been renewed through the 2010-2011 season, guaranteeing a fourth season of the new hit.
Both shows are two of the biggest comedies on television and anchor CBS' Monday night comedy block, which also includes How I Met Your Mother and a rotating fourth Musketeer (HIMYM hasn't yet been renewed for a fifth season).

ABC picks end to Lost's season, others

Season five of lost, Grey's Anatomy conclude in mid-May; Bachelorette, Ugly Betty returns also set.
It's time to get out your red pen and mark your calendars, because ABC has announced the finale dates of its lineup, including the season finales of lost and Grey's Anatomy, and possibly the series finales of Scrubs and… According to Jim.

The first days to get the red ink should be May 13 and May 14--make sure you keep those days open and reserve the couch in your livingroom. lost will end its fifth season with a two-hour finale on May 13 and Grey's Anatomy will also wrap up its fifth cycle on May 14. Both should feature some major shockers; the rumors I'm hearing about the Lost character getting killed off this season even shock me, and Grey's has to decide what to do with Izzy/Katherine.

For Scrubs fans, May 6 will be a somber trip to the television morgue. Most of the principal cast is calling this season their last (Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Judy Reyes, creator Bill Lawrence), and most believe that means the end of Scrubs. Looks like one and done on ABC for the hospital comedy.
Ugly Betty returns from its abrupt break on May 7, and will end its season on May 21. The Bachelorette will also kick off its latest cycle on May 18… what surprises will producers have for us this time?

SG Atlantis

The Stargate is closing for good...on television anyway. Sci Fi Channel today quietly revealed that Stargate Atlantiswould not be renewing the show for a sixth season and that season five, currently airing, would be its last.
Stargate Atlantis is a spin-off of Stargate SG-1, which ran for 10 years on both Showtime and Sci Fi beginning in 1997. Atlantis began airing in 2004, and will conclude with its 100th episode in January 2009.
Atlantis built on the successful science-fiction franchise created by the 1994 MGM film Stargate, and follows a crew of explorers who travel to a far off galaxy to learn about the lost city of Atlantis.
The show won't simply blink out of existence, however. The show's cancellation came in a press release revealing that a Stargate Atlantis movie is in the works. Following in the bootprints of fellow fare such as Battlestar Galacticaand SG-1

Purity Rings, Reunions and Revenge

Things took a turn for the serious this week, even on Comedy Central: South Park accused Disney of using the Jonas Brothers to sell sex to young girls. Jon Stewart blamed CNBC for contributing to the country's financial woes. Good thing 30 Rock unveiled the Funcooker — we've been starving for good times.
Countless characters disappear to unseen car accidents or trips to college, so props to Friday Night Lights for giving paraplegic former Panther quarterback Jason Street a touching and realistic exit from the series. Even tough-guy Riggins can't keep the tears out of his eyes as Jason tells Erin he's secured a job as a junior sports agent and is ready to provide for her and their son Noah. Touchdown.
Kenny and his new girlfriend begin wearing purity rings after attending a Jonas Brothers show — and soon find themselves hanging out with other sexless couples, discussing Grey's Anatomy. "A ring that says you'll be together but not have sex,"one confused character says. "Isn't that called a wedding ring?"
30 Rock's conclusion includes: Dr. Spaceman trying to force a bear-costumed Jenna's head onto the coffee table so she'll sleep, because if she doesn't, she'll die from her addiction to military-strength amphetamine; a cut to Tracy Jordan's commercial, where he displays his Funcooker; and Liz almost burning the place down. Why does this qualify as a "moment"?Because it all happens in a matter of seconds.
Skipping any "remember the good old days?" moments, George Clooney and Julianna Margulies make a low-key return to ER to convince a grieving woman (guest star Susan Sarandon) to donate her brain-dead grandson's organs.

End of Stargate Atlantis

Season 5 of Stargate Atlantis was the last series. Stargate Universe will replace it in the near future with Actor Robert Carlyle taking the lead role.
Like all great series, eventually they run out of energy and have to make way for new concepts. I suspect that like Startrek generations, Stargate and Stargate Atlantis will go on forever simply because they represent brilliant story telling and push the boundaries of the imagination. Strangely these Sci-Fi series have a way of creating their own virtual world that draws you in.
There is some excellent TV shows at the moment (24 & Damages) that suck you into their virtual world and have the power to surprise and make you think.

TV Hot List

Desperate Housewives
The promos are promising a murder. Who will it be? Not Edie, even though she'll be outta here soon (and probably feet first).
Big Love
After the family's tumultuous road trip a few weeks ago, it was hard to imagine how this series could ratchet up the drama any more.
The Simpsons
Ned Flanders is the Simpsons' new landlord? Indeedily doodily!

It's been one L of a ride for this long-running, landmark cable dramedy, and in the series finale, the league of lesbians say so long to life in La-La Land and take their leave.

Late Night, Lost and Bachelor Threesomes

What a week for threesomes. Jimmy Fallon joined Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Kimmel in late night, Freckles returned to the Lost island, where Sawyer and Juliet have paired off, and The Bachelor fell in love with two women. Sort of.
11. Most-Delayed Kiss: After Eric is released from an immigration lockup on CSI: Miami, he teases a waiting Calleigh that he may have met someone special on the inside. "I'll bet his cooking isn't as good as mine," she says, and kisses him — seven seasons into the show and perhaps two seasons too late.

How Will Danny Glover Meet CBS' Mother?

As How I Met Your Mother wraps up its fourth season, fans can expect to get drop-ins from faces both familiar and new.From the latter category, Danny Glover will turn up "in an interesting way,"Hmm, could it be that Barney and his brother James (played here and there by Wayne Brady) have — gasp — different fathers? "Boy, I wish had thought of that a month ago!" Bays says upon hearing our suggestion. "That's much better than what we came up with." Oh, we highly doubt that.Glover's Mother visit comes on the heels of the Lethal Weapon star scoring a role on My Name Is Earl, as Crab Man's daddy. He also wooed Sally Field last season on Brothers & Sisters.

Hot Numbers! Terminator and Dollhouse Get Big Boosts from DVR

Summer Glau and Eliza Dushku are turning a lot more heads than evidenced by the next-day Nielsens.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, in fact, is currently enjoying the biggest boost of any network show — a 36 percent jump in adult demos — from Live+7 DVR data, which factors in playback within the first week after a program airs.
Rounding out the top five beneficiaries of Live+7 DVR data are 90210 (gaining 33 percent), Scrubs (30 percent) and the CW's Privileged (29 percent).
Of course, the big hurdle for networks such as Fox is getting advertisers to appreciate the value of Live+7 playback and not assume that viewers are "zapping" commercials. For example, the Eliza Dushku/Hulu ad? I could watch it forever.

Damages Star Feels Trauma, Pope's Still Popular

We said, "Give this star a show," and they gave her one. Anastasia Griffith (aka Ellen's sis-in-law on Damages) has scored a gig on Trauma, NBC's drama pilot about first-response paramedics. Griffith will play an EMT whose paramedic beau died in a helicopter crash, says the Hollywood Reporter. (Fun and random fact: The London-bred Griffith is the real-life sis of Battlestar star Jamie Bamber!)
Previously cast on Trauma were Derek Luke (Antwone Fisher) and Jamey Sheridan (Law & Order: CI).
In other Peacock pilot casting news, Carly Pope has joined the ensemble of Day One, a drama revolving around neighbors in an apartment complex following a catastrophic event. Pope will play a brilliant young woman who lives with her computer genius boyfriend (Adam Campbell). Recently, the Popular alumna had a short-lived role on the current season of 24, playing the murdered first son's doomed sweetheart.
