TCA Tidbits: Living Dead, Emmy Controversy, and Skittles
After announcing that Let's Make a Deal will be back, CBS kept things trucking at TCA with some controversy, a few digs at NBC, and a bizarre marketing ploy. Read on for highlights.
- The day's most hotly contested panel was the session for the Emmys, at which executive producer Don Mischer attempted to explain the reasoning behind the decision to "time shift" eight awards (aka, give them out in a special ceremony before the regular Emmys).
CBS's Fall Plans: Four New Series and a Rescue of Medium
CBS swooped in after NBC canceled Medium and picked up the Patricia Arquette drama at its Upfront this morning. Medium joins four other new dramas on CBS's Fall schedule, which seems downright reasonable after, say, ABC's 11 new series.
CBS's newcomers are the NCIS spinoff with LL Cool J and Chris O'Donnell; Three Rivers, a medical drama about organ transplants headed by Moonlight's Alex O'Loughlin; The Good Wife, starring Julianna Margulies as an attorney who goes back to work after her husband's public scandal; and Accidentally on Purpose, a comedy starring Jenna Elfman as a movie critic who gets pregnant from a one-night stand.
Defend This Show: Medium
NBC's Medium is one of those shows that just never grabbed me. It's an intriguing premise, and Patricia Arquette has gotten a fair amount of acclaim (and one Emmy) for her performance as psychic Allison DuBois. But I've never felt compelled to tune in.

TV Casting Roundup: "Desperate," "Medium" and "Today"
- "Desperate Housewives" has found its desperate house-husbands — and it's not David Beckham and Robbie Williams, as rumored (gee, who would have thought that was a lie?). The actual couple will be portrayed by Tuc Watkins and Kevin Rahm. Watkins, of "One Life to Live," will play Bob, a country boy seeking solace from the city; Rahm, of "Judging Amy," will play his partner, Lee.

"Crashers" Crashes, while "Medium" has a Future
Apparently, Monday at 10 p.m. is NBC's Time Slot O' Death. NBC's latest attempt to get something going in the post-"Heroes" hour, "The Real Wedding Crashers," has crashed and burned, just like "The Black Donnellys" and "Studio 60" before it.
A Bright Spot for "Friday Night Lights"
It's not a renewal (yet), but it's the next-best thing: NBC has ordered six additional scripts for "Friday Night Lights," which strengthens the show's chances of coming back in the fall. As TV Guide's Michael Ausiello put it, who's buying the drinks tonight? This makes me even more excited to see the first-season finale on Wednesday.

Hold It! Medium Hold Hairsprays
With all of the gorgeous red carpet and complex hair dos I've been covering, I realized that a light hold hairspray isn't always enough. Sometimes you've got to kick things up a notch to ensure all that hard work doesn't fall apart. However, trying to find a hairspray that won't leave your hair (and fingers) feeling sticky and icky isn't always that easy.
