Today's TWoP News, October 13, 2009

Today's TWoP News, October 13, 2009   	 NBC won't let the Glee cast lip-synch their little hearts out on Thanksgiving. And that's the saddest sentence I've written in a while.

NBC has rescinded their invitation to Glee to perform on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade because Fox is a competitor. Look, the Thanksgiving Day parade is meaningless and all, and I don't really need to see my favorite Glee actors lip-synching on a Macy's seal in the freezing cold or anything, but that's still messed-up, and a pretty dumb policy for NBC to have. What, are they not going to let anybody from the Disney Channel perform ever again? Or ban the Spongebob float? No they're not, which is why It makes no sense.

Those Friends people are just doing employment gangbusters lately. Matthew Perry is the latest one to try to return to the workforce -- though I can't understand why, considering how rich he must be -- with a sitcom he's shopping to networks about a second-rate sports arena manager who reevaluates his life after he turns 40. Between this and Men of a Certain Age premiering soon, can we make up a derogatory term about confident older men now? A male "cougar" counterpart? I've been tentatively calling them "Jerkys" because they tend to end up tanned and sinewy, but I don't have to be the boss of this.

Hey, look! Carrie Underwood is starring in a Fox variety special on December 7 with Dolly Parton and Brad Paisley, directed by Adam Shankman. Who let me put together a variety special?

Even though the real-time viewership is microsopic, because of huge DVR viewing boosts, Fox has promised to air all 13 episodes of Dollhouse Season 2. Whatever value Fox's promises have.

And NCIS continues to get more than 20 million viewers per week, even though I still have not met a single one of them.
