RU? News RoundUp 3/23

A quick trip through the news with Are You Screening's unique set of blinders on. It's still just next season and who got axed... mostly.

  1. Well, we all know who "A" is now, and I have an interview with her going up shortly, but you may not know that, apparently, Pretty Little Liars has broken a Twitter record. Yes, it's the most tweeted show ever... or something.
  2. On possibly the complete opposite end of the TV spectrum, Jeff Foxworthy isn't giving up on game show hosting... now with 100% more Bible.
  3. In completely confusing TV news, a trailer hit the internet for Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome, the next hopeful in the franchise, and before you could finish watching it, it was revealed that Syfy isn't actually going to keep going with the show. Ummm... thanks for the tease.
  4. Power-performer Smash has been picked up for another season, and I doubt that comes as a surprise to anyone. What the hell this headline is about, I have no idea.
  5. In more, "it's all about the fall" news, we're getting more Jennifer Beals. She heads to CBS' new detective show, and this one looks like it might actually be pretty good... on paper... not necessarily because we've added Beals.
  6. And, Brian Cox is hitting the small screen as well. This show looks good too... because we've added Brian Cox.
  7. Then there's Dennis Miller, and ABC is starting to look better and better for fall.
  8. And, we're expanding the ranks again, as DirecTV starts putting together original programming.
  9. As does Netflix.
  10. In fact, they may even expand into the "saving other shows" category that has done well for cable networks.
  11. Which is slightly more tricky when people move on before you get a chance to tell them they don't have to move on.
  12. It's not all good news though. FOX pulled the plug on I Hate My Teenage Daughter, which sucks, because I was just starting to get into that show... let's say.
  13. Speaking of non-network TV, and shows getting renewed and axed, Starz one-ups HBO's celebrated renewals of shows after only one episode airs by renewing Magic City before any episodes air. Beat that.
