Yep, the Warlock wins after all.
Congrats, Charlie. (Now tell us, where’s the party?)

Latest LOUIE Kills – And It’s All in the Writing
Last night’s opening of a 3 part arc on LOUIE took our breath away, asking, as it did, questions like:
“What price success?”
Did You Know That POWER RANGERS Is Still Up And Running?
Oh God, we loved this series back in the mid ’90s. You couldn’t get me out of my White Ranger pajamas for nuthin’, man. And now, to find out it still lives? Happy, happy, joy, joy – oh, wait, wrong ’90s series. Sorry.
Twentieth anniversary Power Rangers series revealed: Power Rangers Megaforce – by Vinnie Bartilucci
The folks at JEFusion.com shared footage from this year’s Power Morphicon of Saban Entertainment’s promo reel for next year’s Power Rangers series. Their seventeenth series, Power Rangers Megaforce, will be based on the thirty-fourth of Toei Company’s Super Sentai series, Tensou Sentai Goseiger.
Another Fine Deal Some Agent Has Gotten Craig Wright Into
We aren’t certain if this was the intention, but to us Fox Entertainment’s Fox 21 division represents the company’s most creatively ambitious work, producing as it does such series as SONS OF ANARCHY, BREAKOUT KINGS, and HOMELAND.
Yesterday, Fox 21 continued in this high-faluting vein by signing Emmy-nominated writer and producer Craig Wright to an overall deal deal to create and supervise cable projects, according to The Hollywood Reporter. We think it’s a fine idea, not because we’re best buds with Craig (nobody here at TVWriter™ knows him, unfortunately for our own aspirations), but because of Craig’s fine work in the past on SIX FEET UNDER, LOST, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, and one of our all-time failed-in-the-ratings faves, DIRTY SEXY MONEY.
Looking forward to more Dirty, Sexy, uh, stuff now from Fox 21.
There’s Money In The Banana Stand (or so Netflix hopes…)
There are a lot of reasons I’ve been closely following the reboot of Arrested Development scheduled for 2013. One of the big ones is seeing what will happen when Netflix picks up a show cancelled by a network and distributes new episodes (which they will also be doing with the short-lived Terra Nova).
In keeping with the Dan Harmon theme of yesterweek, I’m very curious about the Power of Fandom in the internet age of television, and what it has achieved in this case. It’s not news that ratings are the dinosaur of television trend-telling, since people no longer rush home from their insurance-selling jobs to have a scotch and watch Happy Days (clearly what everyone did from 1950-1999).
The majority of viewers watch television whenever, wherever, and however they like. They may not even know when a show actually airs in real time. So, the new million dollar question on the table is how to tell what’s resonating with them and what isn’t, and once we know that, what we do about it.
