Tidbits

I know somebody in Rayburn who needs to start dusting off some dancing shoes. NBC finally is doing a reality show I might watch. They're doing a reality show to find the two leads for a Broadway revival of "Grease". No air date has been announced, but it has to be soon because the announcement of the show means it's coming to the Great White Way sometime before the end of the year.

In another move to make people remember the network still exisits, NBC has made the Pilots of "Kidnapped" and "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" available for rent. They are also planning on making the Pilot for "Heroes" available on ITunes if you get a special code at a nearby theater sometime in the month of August. (Everybody's trying to cash in on "Snakes on a Plane" mania, I guess.)

And get those video IPods going. Now NBC is making "Passions" available for download on ITunes. WAHOO! Fill that puppy up!

More and more networks are moving to try and capture the broadband audience. This week, CBS announced it will do something simliar to ABC and make episodes available online, for free. Most of it will include the "CSI" franchise, as well as "Jericho", a new show for the fall.

Barbara Hall ("Joan of Arcadia") has already lined up a new Pilot for CBS for the upcoming Pilot season. It's going to be about exorcisms and other supernatural phenomena.

The Emmys are just a little over a week away!
