(Help, Brett, help! Every time I paste the YouTube embed code to just above “Did you notice”, the post updates, but the embed code vanishes! Is it cos I’m not admin?)
In case you missed it, the video of the one-minute-and-forty-seconds (not five minutes!) Simpsons Movie preview is here.
Did you notice:
- It was rated G – surely the animal cruelty warranted at least a PG?
- The truck Homer tried to destroy was stopped at a Homer-created “SOP” sign?
In a short statement on his website, Rove McManus has announced that the remaining three episodes of the 2006 season of Rove Live have been cancelled, as he continues to mourn the passing of his wife Belinda Emmett on Saturday from cancer:
At the moment I have no plans for Rove Live for the rest of 2006. This is a very difficult period for all of us and some time away is the best thing for me right now.
In the meantime I want to extend my sincerest thanks for all of your heartfelt messages and condolences. That Belinda meant so much to so many people, genuinely means a lot to me.

According to eBroadcast, this week’s episode would have featured Toni Collette, Borat plugging his new movie, house band Burn the City and the latest voted-out Idol finalist. In the programme’s place is a repeat of the special Seriously Funny: The Best Of The Melbourne International Comedy Festival, hosted by Tripod (and produced by confetti cannon lovers GNWTV Productions). TV3 in New Zealand has put an episode of House in its vacant Friday 9:30 slot.
Belinda’s family has requested donations to the McGrath Foundation, via NAB branches or online, instead of sending flowers.
And while I’m at the Rove Live website, somebody should take that banner for Toyota Hilux’s “48 Hours To Live” promotion down: it’s coincidentally inappropriate… The promotion’s been cancelled, too.
Apparently Channel is Ten is airing a 5 minute preview for the upcoming Simpsons movie tonight (Monday) at 7:30.
Be interesting.
Thanks to MoBo for the heads up.
The title really says it all.
Loyal Listener Lyndal pointed us to this news item on the E! website.
This is very exciting news for a show that everybody hoped would stay on the air but nobody really thought it would.
I think they’re going to do some wonderful things.
Very, very sad to hear Belinda Emmett has died.
Our condolences to Rove and all their respective families and friends.
Showtime has given the green light to a second season of crime drama Dexter, just five weeks into its initial run. The second season of twelve episodes goes into production next Spring for premiere later in 2007.
This is good news. I have been thoroughly enjoying Dexter, its unusual and rather dark; yet it is genually intriguing. If you have not caught an episode I highliy recommend it.
This was posted yesterday on Wil Anderson’s blog:
Before you read it in the papers over the next couple of the days, I just wanted you guys to know that the ABC have decided the final ever episode of the Glass House will go to air November 29.
This decision was made some time ago so it can’t be blamed on the whole “ABC Bias” kerfuffle that’s been around recently.
I’ve remained fairly ambivalent about the show. Some shows would be killer and some would just die in the arse. Still, I’d sit and watch it to kill half an hour and I think it will be missed because it was a rare combination of political opinion and comedy.
What’s been your take on the GH for the past 5 years?
The final edition of Media Watch for the year airs this week. The reason I mention this is that the ABC’s new editorial policies threaten to turn Media Watch into Big Questions.
You can see the final episode before the show possibly jumps the shark on ABC on Monday the 30th at 9.20pm, and Thursday the 2nd at 12.20am.
Or on ABC2 on both Wednesday the 1st and Thursday the 2nd, at 7.45pm and 10.15pm.
From TV.com:
Four more new series–ABC’s Help Me Help You, The Nine, and Men in Trees and NBC’s Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip–have received orders for additional scripts.
The ABC shows have been picked up for four more scripts, while Studio 60–a high-profile underperformer–has been given an order for three.
Ordering additional scripts of new series in lieu of an early full-season pickup has become the norm for the Big Four networks this season.
Only five freshman series–NBC’s Heroes, CBS’s Jericho and Shark, and ABC’s Ugly Betty and Brothers & Sisters–have been given full-season orders. That is half of the 10 new shows picked up for a full season at this point a year ago.
Well, it’s a start and it’s better than getting canned, especially Studio 60 (the rest I don’t care).
Does seem to be a particularly tough year, and I don’t see it getting any easier. With production costs going up and up all the networks want is guaranteed, instant hits which by it’s very nature means less creativity, more bland, safe crap.
