Wha? There’s still a TVGUIDE? What does it do? Does anybody go there? Does anybody care?
Well, just in case you do give a crap, Deadline.Com has a story that will seal TVGuide.Com’s fate.
By which we mean that if CBS does take over, there goes whatever credibility the TVG brand has had left.
…And know what?
We agree.
Another one bites the dust! Hiya, future, good to see ya. Really!
Or, to put it another way:
Warner Brothers is facing a federal lawsuit for using two feline-themed Internet memes in a video game without their creators’ permission. The authors of “Keyboard Cat” and “Nyan Cat” have sued the media giant arguing that the game Scribblenauts, published by WB Games, infringes their copyrights and trademarks. The game’s developer, 5th Cell, is also named in the lawsuit.
The creators/showrunners of THE BIG C, NEW GIRL, and SMASH dish about the shows.
A little anger, a little reflection, a little praise…kind of what being a TV writer is really about.
THE BIG C Final Season: Does Cathy Have to Die? by Lesley Goldberg
Showtime sends The Big C off with a four-episode final season, subtitled Hereafter, that will mark somewhat of a departure for the dramedy about a woman (Laura Linney) fighting, living and potentially dying after a battle with cancer.
A couple of days ago TVWriter™ posted a video interview with Aereo investor/brains behind the whole thing Barry Diller and mentioned that the battle between him and NewsCorp/Rupert Murdoch over whether Aereo is legal was a dick fight of the highest order.
Now the Great TV Satan himself, CBS’s Les Moonves has entered the fray. He’s siding with NewsCorp, of course, cuz there’s no $$$ in it for him or CBS in going Aereo’s way.
