Today's TWoP News: Thursday, October 15, 2009

Thursday is a sad day. The CW is toiling away at their next attempts in the hour-long drama genre, Jonah Hill continues to get work, and the cultural achievement that is the Fox Reality Channel will be gone by March.

The CW is developing several new hour-long dramas. One is called The March Sisters, which Fox says is "Little Women meets Sex and the City." This sounds sacrilegious, and the last time I checked, little Amy was not wearing Manolos when she fell in that icy lake. There's a show from Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas, called Plymouth Rock, in the works and it is about kids in space moving to a planet to repopulate the human species. Also in development is a show with the greatest title of all time: Bitches in Britches will follow the lives of, well, bitches in the equestrian town of Millbrook, NY.

Taylor Swift will host Saturday Night Live on November 7th. I'm predicting Kanye jokes! Hopefully they can get the real thing and not Kenan Thompson trying to be Kanye. He can't even do Charles Barkley correctly.

Jonah Hill will provide voiceover "talent" and write for a new FOX animated series about a 7-year-old socialite who becomes a fish-out-of-water when he must attend public school. Too bad for Hill that this show will air on Fox - how will he ever be funny without being able to say f**k or s**t? Sad.

The Fox Reality Channel will be shut down by next year. Good god, where will I watch repeats of Blind Date? Another favorite is Busted and Disgusted -- watch that if you want to see someone, er, get together... with a piƱata.

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield will be forced to interact awkwardly on Friday's live Oprah show. Tyson will surprise Holyfield with the gift of his petrified ear chunk neatly packed in a jar of formaldehyde. How sweet.

William H. Macy will star as an alcoholic father of six on the American version of the British drama Shameless on Showtime.
