NCIS' Final Four: Chris O'Donnell, LL Cool & More
The much-talked about final four episodes are finally upon us, and for fans of CBS' kooky clan of Naval criminal investigators on NCIS dvd, that means we get to see the backdoor episode to the planned spinoff featuring Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J.Chris and LL show up in tonight's episode, "Legend Part 1," and in next Tuesday's "Legend Part 2." But contrary to published reports, the spinoff—which has yet to be picked up (wait for after the May 20 CBS Upfronts in New York for that)—is not titled NCIS dvd: Legend, according to show runner Shane Brennan.We caught up with Shane to give us the lowdown on what's in store for these explosive last episodes of the season and what the spinoff is all about...Ziva's Wild Ride: "It's an emotional rollercoaster for Ziva [Officer Ziva David, played by Cote de Pablo], but it's also physical. It's the most physical she's been, and Cote does all her own stunts. It gets very intense, and Ziva's character is taken right to the edge emotionally in these last four episodes. She is in extreme jeopardy, and no one can help her. It's the nature of the work she does. Basically, Ziva's loyalties are tested, and she is forced to make some life-changing choices, both professionally and emotionally."Tony's Tragic Tale: "[Michael Weatherly's Special Agent Tony DiNozzo] has his own set of problems in these last four episodes. Tragic things happen to Tony and Ziva together, and to them separately as well. It definitely does not end up OK for either Tony or Ziva."Michael Rifkin's Return: "Michael Rifkin [Merik Tadros] was set up in the first episode this season in the Moroccan bar. He didn't utter a word. Then we revisited him twice with photos and phone calls. On [tonight's] episode, he arrives on the scene, and he definitely speaks. He's handsome, charming and dangerous. And he's also clearly someone Ziva really cares for."Jaime Murray's Role: "She comes in the second-to-last episode of the year. She's a strikingly attractive woman, and she causes some jealousy, but not between the people you think. Let me say that Abby [Pauley Perrette] gets jealous in that episode."Legend's Meaning: "Legend is a word coined by the East German secret police, the Stasi, and it means deep background. If you're going undercover, you need to have a legend, a backstory that holds up under scrutiny. The new show, which takes place in Los Angeles, takes a look at what it's like to be an undercover agent. That is, how it differs from NCIS dvd. No one from NCIS dvd is moving over to this new show. We'll announce the spinoff title when the show gets picked up."Chris O'Donnell's Character: "Chris plays Special Agent Callen, who has worked undercover for CIA, FBI and DEA, and he's been fired by all of the agencies. He's very good at what he does, but he doesn't like to be told how to do his job. And he's found a home here because Louise Lombard [who plays Special Agent Lara Macy] understands his value and his worth, and she knows he can be a loose cannon, but is willing to work with him." (Fun fact: Callen speaks Russian.)LL Cool J's Character: "LL plays Special Agent Sam Hanna, the only married member of the team. Sam is married with four kids and is a former Navy SEAL. He's very close with Callen; he's like his big brother, and he looks out for him and protects him. He's a wiser guy—an older guy with a different perspective on the world."Louise Lombard's Character: "We set up straight away that there is tension between Louise's character, Lara Macy, and Special Agent Jethro Gibbs [Mark Harmon]. You will go, 'Oh my God' and you'll get goose bumps. There is an emotional connection between the two of them that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. We learn more about Gibbs through Macy. They go back 18 years. I'm not going to eliminate romance and not going to confirm romance. They could've worked together."NCIS' May 19 Finale: "These four episodes are really four finales in a row. Everything is designed for the fifth episode in this arc, which is the first episode of next season. Over the summer, people are going to wring their hands and wonder what's going to happen. The first episode next season will be unexpected. People's expectations of what they see in the first 30 seconds will be stood on their head."

Bones' Star Confirms Finale Romp
If there were any doubts as to whether or not Bones dvd(Emily Deschanel) and Booth (David Boreanaz) will finally do it on the May 14 finale, Deschanel tells E! Online that the big romp, four seasons in the making, will finally happen."It should be surprising and good. The way it happens is surprising," she says.Yet before fans of the Bones-Booth tandem can jump for joy, Deschanel previously cautioned that this does not necessarily mean the two will end up as a couple. For one, Booth doesn't seem too keen on doing it just for procreation. Going forward, she thinks that Booth doesn't feel comfortable "just donating his sperm and not being part of the baby's life."Does this mean the central couple of the hit Fox procedural will couple up just for the sake of the baby? For her part, though, Brennan has a tendency to see it as merely a "transaction.""There's some twists and turns in the episode that will kind of throw a wrench into things, you'll see," she assures.Now for the Bones fans who are wondering why it took this long for the romance to be consummated, Deschanel says it will be worth it."I'm glad we waited this long. I think [creator and writer] Hart [Hanson] wanted to find a clever way to put them together that wouldn't forever taint everything on the show, and I think he figured a very clever way to do it."In other Bones dvd finale news, Grammy-nominated rock band Motley Crue is set to appear on the May 14 episode. The hard-living rock stars will perform in The Lab, a popular nightclub where a murdered body is discovered. USA Today reports that the Los Angeles-based band will interact with Brennan, Booth, and the other cast members.bones dvd

Two-parter lets fans meet new NCIS team
As an NCIS dvd fan, LL Cool J knows what needs to be retained for a spinoff to succeed."The chemistry between the characters is incredible: the banter, the way they've developed over the years," says the rapper/actor. "That is probably the best thing about the show."MORE: 'NCIS dvd' spinoff could ride on original series' coattailsChris O'Donnell, LL Cool J and the rest of the NCIS dvd Office of Special Projects (OSP) team will get their chance to impress viewers in two episodes (CBS, tonight and May 5, 8 p.m. ET/PT) that could result in a new series.LL Cool J says it was great to work with Harmon, and he appreciates this opportunity. "I let him know I respect the franchise and want to do it justice. I don't want to be the one to wreck it."FIND MORE STORIES IN: Los Angeles LL Cool J Chris O'Donnell Mark Harmon Michael Weatherly The spinoff, whose title will be revealed if and when CBS announces a fall pickup next month, also features a tight-knit NCIS dvd team, but it spends more time undercover on national security, including terrorism.The episodes highlight the units' differences: The murder of a Marine, the kind of case the original investigates, evolves into an attempt to thwart a security threat, the specialty of the OSP.NCIS's Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and McGee (Sean Murray) head to Los Angeles to team with OSP's G. Callen (O'Donnell) and Sam Hanna (LL Cool J) to investigate.Callen, a loose cannon with a mysterious past, was fired by other agencies before finding a home at NCIS, while Hanna, a former Navy SEAL, is a family man with four kids, executive producer Shane Brennan says.Callen "moved around to a lot of foster homes as a kid, had a lot of different influences," O'Donnell says. "That's part of what makes him unique; (he can) slip into so many different roles."The two report to special agent Lara Macy (Louise Lombard), with another agent (Daniela Ruah) and a psychologist (Peter Cambor) rounding out the team. "Gibbs isn't particularly happy to be working with Macy. They have some history," Brennan says. "People will find out something new about Gibbs."The two hours, besides introducing the new team, figure significantly in the season's conclusion, Brennan says.Fans will see the return of Michael Rivkin (Merik Tadros), a mysterious Mossad agent with ties to Ziva (Cote de Pablo), and they need to watch the episodes "if they want to see what happens to Tony (Michael Weatherly) and Ziva." Their relationship, which has been heating up this season, is at the core of the final episodes, Brennan says. Rivkin's return "causes friction between Tony and Ziva. He has an integral part in the last four episodes."

Television
Mike HaleTo think it all started with “JAG.” That steady performer (10 seasons, 227 episodes) begat “NCIS dvd” (6 seasons, 134 episodes and counting), which is now, CBS willing, about to spin off a third series, tentatively titled “NCIS: Legend.” It’s being set up by a two-part episode of “NCIS dvd” beginning this week (8 p.m. Tuesday) that takes the Naval Criminal Investigative Service team led by Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) to Los Angeles, where the famously uncooperative Gibbs must work with the local office to solve the murder of a Marine.The guest cast — all presumably auditioning for spots as special agents in the new show — includes Chris O’Donnell, L L Cool J, Louise Lombard and Daniela Ruah, an American-born veteran of Portuguese telenovelas.“100 FEET” (Sci Fi Channel, 9 p.m. Sunday) is not the usual Sci Fi original movie: it began life as a theatrical film, written and directed by Eric Red (a writer of “The Hitcher” and “Near Dark”) and played the genre-festival circuit before being picked up for television. It stars Famke Janssen as a woman transferred from prison to house arrest, where an ankle bracelet limits her movements to the radius described in the title; that’s inconvenient, since the husband she killed in self-defense (Michael Paré) has returned to haunt her. The interesting cast includes Bobby Cannavale and the “Gossip Girl” pretty boy Ed Westwick.

'Bones' season finale to feature guest appearance by Motley Crue. Discuss.
SPOILER ALERT! Fox has confirmed that Motley Crue will guest star on the May 14 season finale of Bones dvd, performing "Dr. Feelgood." This sounds like one of Booth's hallucinations to me, but maybe not. A corpse is found at the popular nightclub, The Lab, where the Crüe plays, and the team investigates with "Booth (David Boreanaz) and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) working together like never seen before." (How did Fox resist putting an exclamation point at the end of that sentence? Impressive.) Also guesting in the episode, Ryan O'Neal (Brennan's dad, Max) and Brendan Fehr (Booth's brother, Jared).What are your theories? Go. bones dvd

Stargate, Sanctuary nab 38 Leo nominations
The teams behind the productions of SCI FI Channel’s Stargate and Sanctuary landed an astounding 38 seperate nominations for the 2009 Leo Awards, to be held Saturday, May 9 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Stargate Atlantis dvd led the pack with an astounding 17 nominations, including Best Program, Best Direction (Robert C. Cooper’s “Vegas”), three screenwriting nods (“Remnants,” “The Shrine” and “The Queen”), Cinematography, Picture and Sound Editing, Costume and Production Design, Visual Effects, and Make-Up. In the actor categories, Jewel State is nominated for Lead Performance (Female) for “Tracker.”
David Hewlett was originally nominated in the Lead Performance (Male) category for “The Shrine,” but reportedly removed himself from the running because he did not live in Canada — and thus would not qualify.
Stargate: Continuum earned 11 Leo nominations in the film category, ranging from Best Director (Martin Wood) and Screenwriter (Brad Wright) to Cinematography, Picture and Sound Editing, Production and Costume Design, Visual Effects, and Lead Performances for Michael Shanks (“Daniel Jackson”) and Amanda Tapping (“Samantha Carter”).
Finally, Stargate’s Friday night companion series Sanctuary earned 10 nominations for its freshman season, including Direction, Screenwriting, Picture Editing, Make-Up and Visual Effects. Tapping was nominated for her performance in the episode “Requiem,” along with Ryan Robbins (”Edward”), Christopher Heyerdahl (”Revelations, Part 2″), and guest stars Jonathan Young (”Revelations, Part 2″) and Gabrielle Rose (”Edward”).
Stargate Atlantis dvd and Universe co-creators Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper will also be honored at the ceremony with a special Outstanding Achievement Award.
The annual Leo Awards honor the best in British Columbian television and film production. The awards are a program of the Motion Picture Arts and Sciences foundation of British Columbia. The Leos were founded in 1999, and were established to provide support and recognition for the work of film and television producers, writers, directors, performers and others.
To put the nominations in perspective, it’s important to look back to the past. While Stargate has always received a handful of yearly nominations, the last time a Stargate production took home an award was in 2005, when Stargate SG-1 won a costuming award for “Moebius, Part 2″ and Stargate Atlantis dvd won a Visual Effects award for “The Eye.” Tapping also won for her acting performance in Season Eight’s “Threads.” Since that time, no Stargate production has taken home awards, as they’ve gone to other Vancouver-based series such as Smallville, Painkiller Jane, Flash Gordon, and more.
Listed here are a full look at the nominations. GateWorld also extends congratulations to the cast and crew of Sanctuary, who have garnered ten nominations in their first year — including acting nominations for Stargate alumni Amanda Tapping, Christopher Heyerdahl and Ryan Robbins.

Two new Atlantis novels published
Fandemonium, the worldwide publisher of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis dvd novels, has announced the publication of two brand-new original novels.
James Swallow, author of the previously published Stargate SG-1: Relativity and Stargate Atlantis dvd: Halcyon, is back with a third original novel. Stargate Atlantis dvd: Nightfall is described as such:
The rock of Aegis…
Deception and lies abound on the peaceful planet of Heruun, protected from the Wraith for generations by their mysterious guardian — the Aegis.
But with the planet falling victim to an incurable wasting sickness, and two of Colonel Sheppard’s team going missing, the secrets of the Aegis must be revealed. The shocking truth threatens to tear Herunn society apart, bringing down upon them the scourge of the Wraith. Yet even with a Hive ship poised to attack there is much more at stake than the fate of one small planet.
For the Aegis conceals a threat so catastrophic that the Atlantis team must risk everything to eliminate it from the Pegasus galaxy …
Also recently published is Stargate Atlantis: Angelus, by Peter J. Evans:
Fear to tread …
With their core directive restored, the Asurans have begun to attack the Wraith on multiple fronts. Under the command of Colonel Ellis, the Apollo is dispatched to observe the battlefront, but Ellis’s orders not to intervene are quickly breached when an Ancient ship drops out of hyperspace.
Inside is Angelus, fleeing the destruction of a world he has spent millennia protecting from the Wraith. Charming and likable, Angelus quickly connects with each member of the Atlantis team in a unique way and, more than that, offers them a weapon that could put an end to their war with both the Wraith and the Asurans.
But all is not what it seems, and even Angelus is unaware of his true nature - a nature that threatens the very survival of Atlantis itself …
Look for these titles now at your local bookstore, or buy online at Amazon! You can learn more about these and other titles in GateWorld’s Books section, or visit the official site at StargateNovels.com.

cooper:SUG has gay characters
Beware of minor SPOILERS for the upcoming episode “Life” in the report below.
The third Stargate series will go where Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis DVD didn’t: It will have gay characters. Stargate Universe series creators Robert C. Cooper and Brad Wright told fans during their stage panel at Creation Entertainment’s official Vancouver Stargate convention earlier this month.
“There are at least one and potentially more gay characters on Universe,” Cooper said in answer to a fan’s question.
Wright added, “There’s actually two.”
One of those characters is Camille Wray, the I.O.A. representative on board the Destiny, new casting documents reveal. The character is played by actress Ming-Na.
In the show’s seventh episode, “Life,” viewers will meet Wray’s long-time partner back on Earth, Sharon. The character is listed as a lead guest, and possibly recurring. Camille uses the Destiny’s long-range communications device to return home to Sharon for a brief respite.
Stargate Atlantis did have a few gay characters itself, at least in the minds of the producers — though it never made it onto the screen. Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi has stated that character of Alicia Vega was written to be a lesbian (story). But after her introduction in the Season Five premiere, she was quickly killed off in just her second appearance (“Whispers”).
Mallozzi also said that there was another character on Atlantis he always thought was gay, though the right time (read: not forced) to reveal it on screen never materialized.
The decision to include gay characters on Universe was born from the desire to focus the show on its characters and their relationships with one another.
“This goes towards our goal to make the characters on Universe as complex and complicated and realistic and identifiable as we can, to as many people as we can,” Cooper said. “And that’s not just a desire for ratings. That’s the desire to portray humanity, and make a show that is saying something about who we are.”
Stargate Universe premieres this fall on SCI FI Channel in the U.S., Sky1 in the U.K. and SPACE in Canada! Keep your browser locked on GateWorld’s own SGU Launch Center for more in the weeks ahead. Stargate Atlantis DVD

SG-1: Hydra Nominated for Scribe Award
Stargate SG-1: Hydra has been tapped by the Scribe Awards as an example of excellence in media tie-in fiction!

Fandemonium gives the following synopsis for Hydra:
Rumours and accusations are reaching Stargate Command, and nothing is making sense. When SG-1 is met with fear and loathing on a peaceful world, and Master Bra’tac lays allegations of war crimes at their feet, they know they must investigate.
But the investigation leads the team into a deadly assault and it’s only when a second Daniel Jackson stumbles through the Stargate, begging for help, that the truth begins to emerge. Because this Daniel Jackson is the product of a rogue NID operation that spans the reaches of the galaxy, and the tale he has to tell is truly shocking.
Facing a cunning and ruthless enemy, SG-1 must confront and triumph over their own capacity for cruelty and violence in order to save the SGC – and themselves…

latest news
The fourth and final day of Creation Entertainment’s annual official Stargate convention brought with it news on the upcoming Stargate Universe series in a special panel with the show’s creators, along with stage appearances by two fan favorites.First up for the day was executive producer N. John Smith. Smith talked about several Stargate projects, noting that he feels Universe is “a fabulous new concept. I can’t wait for fans to see what’s been done.”Per Smith, the third SG-1 film has been green-lit, although the start of production could be in a state of flux“When we were shooting SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis 1-5 cheap dvd at the same time, it was a huge strain on all involved,” Smith said. “I think, so that we are able to provide a better product, we’ll probably try to begin production on it in the fall after we wrap filming on the first season [of Universe].”“You never know, though,” Smith continued. “There could be a little bit of overlap.”On the convention stage next were Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper, who stopped in as special guests at the convention to conduct a panel on Stargate Universe and answer some of the burning questions fans have about the third series.The two also talked about thoughts behind those one-word episode titles, the upcoming Atlantis and SG-1 movies, bloopers, changes to the Stargate Atlantis 1-5 cheap dvd leadership, how SGU is being shot, Stargate’s lack of recognition in Canada, and more.Wright also announced that the new cut of “Children of the Gods” is finished and now with MGM and FOX — and when it arrives it will include an audio commentary with Wright and actor Richard Dean Anderson.The film will also be dedicated to Don S. Davis , who passed away last year.Convention guests were next welcomed to an appearance by convention regular Michael Shanks.Within the first few minutes — and without actually saying the words — Shanks all but confirmed an appearance on Stargate Universe

Yesterday, Creation Entertainment’s annual Official Stargate convention in Vancouver kicked off in fine fashion, and GateWorld was there to cover it all!The day’s festivities kicked off with a visit by Valerie Halverson, lead costume designer for the Stargate franchise since Season Ten of SG-1. During her Q&A session with convention-goers, Halverson spoke of both the joys and challenges in costuming a franchise as diverse in styles as Stargate requires. She specifically mentioned issues such as finding wardrobe options that would conceal actress Rachel Luttrell’s (”Teyla Emmegan“) pregnancy during Season Four of Atlantis — scripts didn’t reflect her condition until she was already over five months pregnant in real life.She also acknowledged that it was a conscious decision for the main cast of Stargate Atlantis cheap dvd 1-5 to appear in more leather-based attire beginning in Season Four, as a way to make the costumes “more sexy” on-screen.Next on the stage was a “Working Actor in Vancouver” panel which included Fulvio Cecere, Kirby Morrow, Heather Doerkson, Jody Racicot, Michael Kopsa and Patrick Currie. Fulvio, who has appeared on both Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica, directly compared the production styles of the two series.“Stargate is a well-oiled machine,” Fulvio said. “It really is like working with family! It was the same experience on Battlestar, but with them it was more like a feature. With Stargate, we’d shoot eight or more pages in a day, but with Battlestar it might be only three or four. The crew would leave and it would just be us and the director. We’d discuss the shot we needed and thoroughly rehearse it, just like on a movie set.”The group panel was followed by an appearance by SG-1 actor and fan favorite Gary Jones (”Sgt. Walter Harriman“), who had the crowd in stitches as he discussed a variety of stories from his days on the series. One in-depth recollection involved his first day of shooting scenes with actor Beau Bridges (”General Landry“) at the beginning of Season Nine — and having director Peter DeLuise force him to do his line reads a second time in his best Captain Kirk impression.As reported previously, Jones also confirmed the news that both he and Richard Dean Anderson will be putting in appearances in episodes of Stargate Universe, set to premiere in the fall.The evening ended with an improv performance entitled “Starhole SG-1.5,” in which Jones (reprising his role as Harriman) and actor Dean Haglund (The X-Files, The Lone Gunmen) played various Stargate character roles in a brand-new adventure — and several convention guests were invited up to the stage to perform various roles.The fun and excitement continues tomorrow as the convention will see appearances by David Nykl (”Radek Zelenka“), Dan Shea ( stunt coordinator for SG-1), Connor Trinneer (”Michael“) and Teryl Rothery (”Dr. Janet Frasier“). Keep your browser locked to GateWorld as we continue to bring you the latest on all things Stargate throughout the convention weekend! stargate atlantis cheap dvd 1-5

Richard Dean Anderson will be on Stargate Universe
He led SG-1 through the gate for eight seasons, and helped launch Stargate Atlantis 1-5 cheap dvd five years ago. Now Richard Dean Anderson is set to bring Jack O’Neill back to Stargate with what sounds like multiple appearances on Stargate Universe.“Rick is doing episodes of Universe,” series co-creator Brad Wright told GateWorld exclusively today. “He was just here yesterday shooting an episode of Universe with us. So that relationship is always on-going, and it’s good to have him back.”The show’s fifth episode, “Earth,” is currently filming, and is likely one in which Anderson will appear. But will he help kick off the show by also appearing in the first episode, as he and Michael Shanksdid with Atlantis?Later the same day (today), former Stargate SG-1 1-10 dvd co-star Gary Jones ) appeared on stage at Creation Entertainment’s official Stargate convention in Vancouver, and told fans that he is appearing in an episode of SGU with Anderson. He noted that General O’Neill will have been promoted to 3-star general for the episode they filmed together.Jones didn’t specify which episode it was, but he also noted that he (Jones) was asked to appear in the SGU premiere, “Air.” So, if you’re keeping score at home, Jones should appear in “Air” and Anderson is likely for “Earth” — while Anderson is possible for “Air” and/or Jones is possible for “Earth.”Confused? To add to the speculation fun of fans attending this week’s Vancouver convention, part of Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping’s Sunday appearance has been moved to Saturday. According to reports from fans communicating with Creation, the reason given is that both actors have an early Monday morning call for filming. Whether that’s for Stargate Universe or not is still guesswork.Stick with GateWorld this week and through the weekend for more news from the Vancouver Stargate convention!

Mega Buzz on Housewives, 24, Leverage, Lost and More!
Every week, senior editors Matt Webb Mitovich, Mickey O'Connor and Tim Molloy satisfy your need for TV scoop.
When will Kim Bauer be coming back to 24 hours 1-6 dvd? And will it have anything to do with the bio-weapon Jack has been exposed to? — YongMATT: When I asked Kiefer Sutherland about the nature of Kim's latest encore (slated for mid-April), he said, "Something has happened to Jack, and it's he who asks for her — normally it's the other away around." Kiefer went on to call the father-daughter reunion "very human and real ... a part of the show I'm excited for the audience to see." So your theory sounds about right. Just don't expect the now-married Kim to have Pony Boy at her side; her Season 5 romance apparently didn't take. Are we ever going to see the Scavo twins on Desperate Housewives 1-4 cheap dvd again? I love those goofy bastards. — RachelMICKEY: No word on Dumb or Dumber, but if it's adolescent angst you're hankering for, get a load of this: Another Housewife will soon find herself playing surrogate mom to a feisty, spoiled teen diva who breaks the rules to get what she wants. Sound familiar?I really enjoyed Season 1 of Leverage, and I'm glad it's coming back so soon. Is it safe to assume the team's staying together? — FrankTIM: Yes, they'll all be back for Season 2 (premiering in July), but with a bit of a role reversal. Instead of Nate holding the team together, his band of thieves will have to keep him from leaving. They'll also move their headquarters to his loft in Boston, and meet clients at the bar downstairs — which could be an issue. As you'll recall from Season 1, Nate is still struggling to get his drinking under control. Did Lost 1-3 cheap dvd Sayid actually kill teenage Ben? If so, does that mean adult Ben will now "disappear"? — ConnieMATT: Already we have heard from Young Ben (aka Sterling Beaumon, full Q&A here) on the matter. Now, let's check in with Adult Ben's portrayer. "Although it appears that the situation is dire, it would be wrong to count Ben out," the deliciously cryptic Michael Emerson tells the Buzz. "Remember that the man we know as Ben has a destiny, and that a conventional life is insignificant when compared to the life of the Island." Will we see The Office 1-2 cheap dvd Jim and Pam get married this season, or at least hear something about their wedding plans? — SarahMICKEY: Jim and Pam won't tie the knot until the fall, I hear, mostly because Pam's new job sitch will complicate their courtship. In the meantime, ask yourself this question: What would happen to this twosome if Pam becomes more successful than Jim? Why was Life on Mars 1-2 cheap dvd cancelled? Ratings? If so, how bad were they? — ClemTIM: Mars averaged between 5 million and 6 million viewers, placing last in its time slot among the 18-49 demo that rules television. "Technically, there is the 'make-good number,' which they promise the advertiser they're going to make," executive producer Scott Rosenberg says. "We were unfortunately coming in underneath ours." You can click here for more of the interview, which says how much closure fans can expect. Or, you can refuse to accept the end and sign this petition calling for another season. What's ahead for the Grey sisters on Grey's Anatomy 1-3 cheap dvd? — KellyMATT: You know how when sad dad Thatcher Grey swings by Seattle Grace, he almost always stirs up some sort of trouble, angst and/or agita? (My God, he's a drag.) Amazingly, his April 30 visit will bring Meredith and Lexie closer together ... as they collude to murder him and hide the body. OK, the back half of that sentence was wishful thinking on my part (no offense, Jeff Perry).Christina Applegate has said that ABC will only air six episodes of Samantha Who? Please tell me that Ugly Betty chea dvd will be back after that. That show was getting really good! — JoyceMICKEY: Applegate told us that Samantha's spring run could be extended by five episodes if the ratings for the first six (which boast "really big things between Samantha and Todd") are strong enough. It's unclear how such a scenario affects Betty, which is set to reclaim its time slot on May 7. What is clear is that I would be a more likely sex addict than Betty's new beau, Matt. (If you know me or have seen any of my various online dating profiles — "Caring, Clean, Blue-Eyed Virgo Wants to Share a Box of Kashi GoLean Crunch and a Fifth of Gin with YOU!" — you will realize that this is funny.)Is The Cleaner dvd with Benjamin Bratt ever coming back? — DonnaTIM: A&E's The Cleaner will return sometime this summer, and we can tell you exclusively that one episode focuses heavily on fathers, sons, and substance abuse. Bratt's William Banks tries to spend a weekend with his son, Ben, but his father (Raymond J. Barry, aka Lost's Ray Shephard) enlists him to help an alcoholic pal (guest star Joe Don Baker). We then meet a widower (Stargate: Atlantis' Michael Beach) whose eldest boy has just died in war and whose younger son, played by Tyler James Williams (Everybody Hates Chris), bonds with Ben over their struggling dads.You said in a recent Mega Minute that One Tree Hill's 1-6 cheap dvd Nathan gets an offer to play basketball in Europe. Please say he doesn't accept! I need my "Naley" intact. — BessMATT: Maybe, just maybe, the Scotts' marriage will dodge that bullet if Nathan instead gets recruited by a very local NBA team — which this photo seems to suggest. Then again, those Tree Hill kids have always been big dreamers. You guys have got to give it to me straight: Is The Game canceled? This waiting for a decision is driving me bonkers. — NatalieMICKEY: You're not the only one wondering, Natalie. While there won't be an official announcement until the May 21 upfronts, and though the ratings aren't strong (even by CW standards), a source tells me The Game's chances for another season are actually better than they were a few weeks ago.Any scoop on Harper's Island? Have you seen the previews and was it any good? — MaryMATT: Given my affinity for slasher films, the first hour of CBS' limited-run series pretty much met my expectations — right down to a pretty nifty (and grisly, for network TV) end-of-episode cleaving. For others interested in visiting the Island, I strongly suggest studying CBS' primer on each character/suspect before sitting down for the April 9 premiere, which is surprisingly light on heavy-handed exposition.I heard there's going to be a suicide on House. Please tell me it's Thirteen! — RoseMICKEY: OK, fine, it's Thirteen. Are you happy now? [Editor's note: It's April 1.] Tim's Mega Rave: Denis Leary has always kind of bugged me, and I didn't watch the first four seasons of Rescue Me. But the first episodes of the fifth season, which debuts April 7, are spectacular. Leary's great, Michael J. Fox is a welcome addition to the cast, and the first hour features a fire at a fireworks factory. What's not to like? Mickey's Mini Rant: The Office's Jim Halpert has lost his mojo, and it ain't pretty. Not only does the new boss hate him, but his once-subtle gift for trickery has been replaced by bombastic desperation. (A tuxedo in the office — really?) No wonder Pam doesn't want to work with him anymore.Matt's Micro Riff: CBS' How I Hid Your Pregnancy amuses me.Reader Quote of the Week: "Please for the love of god, kill Nate. If [Gossip Girl cheap dvd 1-7 is] gonna jump the shark, the least they could do is have him die in a freak hair straightening accident." (asho902, weighing in on Gossip Girl's flirtation with the Shark)
When will Kim Bauer be coming back to 24 hours 1-6 dvd? And will it have anything to do with the bio-weapon Jack has been exposed to? — YongMATT: When I asked Kiefer Sutherland about the nature of Kim's latest encore (slated for mid-April), he said, "Something has happened to Jack, and it's he who asks for her — normally it's the other away around."
