Of TV shows...

Some news from the USA Network...

NBC announced that Monk and Psych would make the jump from basic cable to prime-time broadcast television in March, as the network repurposes shows from NBC-owned USA.

and

TV Guide's Michael Ausiello is reporting that USA is canceling both The 4400 and The Dead Zone.

Yay, more exposure for Psych! Though I feel bad for the fans of The 4400 and The Dead Zone. I was never a fan but that doesn't mean I wanted to see them canceled :(

Oh, and how do we know that the next episode of Supernatural will air Jan 31st? SpoilerFix still lists it for Jan 3rd...

Some more TV musing...

So, last night, the CW aired new episodes of their reality show Crowned and the new teeny soap opera Gossip Girl (I heard that the books are better than the show but I didn't read them and neither did I see the show, yet). But why am I talking about it? Neither of them drew in more than 1.8 mil. viewers. With new eps. And no real competition on a Wednesday night. That's like 1 mil. less than the week before. I mean, huh? What's going on? Didn't the CW promote them enough? I have no idea, I'm just curious... Last week, it was Smallville, now these series... The only CW show that got its usual numbers for a new episode was Supernatural.

Apparently, the new episodes of Torchwood will start airing on Jan. 26th in the US, only 10 days after their premiere in the UK. The BBC is obviously milking their best show for what's worth it :D I wanted to buy it on DVD, but sorry, as much as I love the show, 13-ep-series isn't worth 40 pounds or 55 bucks. No way, nuh uh :(
