Will HEROES get "LOST"?


I don't know who makes these TV programming decisions, but they must be hopped up on Red Bull, Coffee and Mountain Dew...


This past TV season saw a move for Lost from its 9pm slot to a 10pm slot so it would not have to compete with American Idol, which has caused a loss in viewership and ad revenue for ABC. Now NBC is mulling a move of it's most popular show Heroes, which now airs Mondays at 9pm to Thursdays at 10pm, where ER is slowly fading and the time slot is low in ratings on all networks.

Looks like my DVR will be working overtime!

In other Heroes news...
Summer love for 'Heroes' fans: NBC's webisodesHoping to keep fans interested in NBC’s hit science fiction series over the rerun-filled summer, “Heroes”, NBC Digital Entertainment said is launching a new original web series called "Inside Heroes," an eight-installment series that will go inside the making of the show. The web series will begin May 21 on NBC.com and will run along with "Heroes" character profiles. And the popular "Heroes" online graphic novel will continue this summer with new chapters. It’s not the first time NBC has offered viewers summer extras for one of its series. Last summer NBC made "Office" webisodes focusing on lesser characters to keep viewers engaged. “Inside Heroes” will take fans through visual effects, music, wardrobe, stunts, make-up effects, artwork and even the catering to create the feeling of being there with the people who put the show together. "Heroes" character profiles are a look at individual characters' storylines from the beginning of the season. (courtesy of Media Life Magazine)
Of course I will make sure you can direct link from TrashyPantz to the webisodes.

Can you say no to this face?

We can't!!! Especially after reading his story:

This sweet boy has a real heartbreaking story to tell you - if he could talk. This is what we know: Scooby grew up with a little girl in the country. When the family moved to another town, Scooby was no longer wanted - so they kept him in a pen in the back of their yard. Then one day the family moved again - and left Scooby and the family cats behind. A kind neighbor rescued Scooby and the cats and brought them to the Humane Society. A dog like Scooby does not have much time in such a place - and when his heartworm test turned out positive - his days were numbered. Fortunately, Scooby caught a ride North to ROAR (Ridgefield Operation Animal Rescue,
http://www.roar-ridgefield.org/ ) - and now he's looking for a nice warm place to retire. He's great on a leash and very calm and well-mannered. He grew up with children and cats. He's great with other dogs. He has so much to give - even after so much has been taken away from him. We will finish his treatment for heartworm with the help of our vets before sending ScoobyDoo off to retirement. Approximate age: 6-8 yrs Breed: Corgi-Chow mix

After a 4 page application, 2 non-family references and a visit to our home, Scooby will be part of our family starting this weekend! He will be on bed rest for the next month while his heartworm treatment runs its course. After that, he will be active, playing with other dogs at doggie daycare, and hopefully with our neighbors dog Peanut as well! He can't wait to meet all of you!

I am a Jersey Girl at heart...

because last night, Blake from American Idol, sang- wait, no... he BEAT BOXED Bon Jovi's You Give Love A Bad Name, and it was like nails on a chalkboard. Maybe next week he can Beat Box some Bruce Springsteen.
