I thought the Scorsese production was a done deal but I was incorrect. However, I am looking forward to seeing it with Buscemi and Pitt. I'm excited about Treme from the very talented Simon. I can't wait for Curb in the Fall (it seems like it been forever without new episodes). I'm tentative about Bored To Death but will definitely give it a go. <br />I'm not surprised to hear about the news of In Treatment. I will keep my fingers crossed that a 3rd season will come to fruition.JanieJonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-50898752759131654052009-07-31T12:38:14.583-04:002009-07-31T12:38:14.583-04:00Divya has gotten so annoying on Royal Pains that I...Divya has gotten so annoying on Royal Pains that I have taken to fast forwarding through every scene she is in.

Casting news has been trickling out for the past couple of months (Peter Dinklage as Tyrion, Sean Bean as Ned Stark, etc.) and I think the pilot will be shot soon.<br /><br />Since the pilot isn't filmed yet, it would make sense that there would be no news yet on a pickup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-52785467455213854082009-07-31T11:18:51.851-04:002009-07-31T11:18:51.851-04:00Guys, I literally listed every show that was menti...Guys, I literally listed every show that was mentioned during the session.

Well, to put it politely, I've had fits of projectile vomiting that were more amusing. Good on HBO for taking a chance, but its a shame they good on a Britcom bandwagon well past its prime.<br /><br /><i> Both execs figure a third season of "Flight of the Conchords" will happen at some point, but could take a while, since stars Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie not only have to write the episodes themselves, but an album's worth of music for it.<br /><br />"When they're ready, we're ready," said Plepler.</i><br /><br />What a shame that in every interview I've seen with Clement and McKenzie they don't sound terribly keen. Why doesn't HBO sign <i>them</i> up to a development deal, because I'm a damn sight more interested in what these guys do than Little Britain.Craig Ranapiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923246310584658857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-11963731965135180072009-07-31T00:42:12.539-04:002009-07-31T00:42:12.539-04:00Alan, I don't blame you for not blogging about...Alan, I don't blame you for not blogging about True Blood (because Sookie is pretty annoying and there isn't much to analyze), but that show is one of the more pure entertaining shows out there, like Chuck.
