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 piñata.
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.

Jonah Hill continuing to get work is OK by me.
"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 Manolo's when she fell in that icy lake."
*head desk* Seriously? Come ON, CW. Is nothing sacred anymore? One of the biggest aspects of Little Women was that the March family was poorer than dirt, so all they had was each other. It was about family. If you're going to take those women and stick them in short skirts and Manolos and turn them into Gossip Girls, I will vomit. And then I will have to drive all the way to Hollywood to hit you over the head with my hardcover copy of the novel. Don't make me do that, CW.
No offense, but who watches The CW anymore? *looking at Dawn Ostroff*
Mia Michaels quitting So You Think You Can Dance didn't get mentioned here? I'm shocked.
Who the hell is Mia Michaels?
That was funny, I laughed out loud. Good job.
Lets boycott the CW, they better not take my favorite book and make them spoiled sluts.
Anyone who's overly amused by the name "Bitches In Britches" probably shouldn't be casting stones at Jonah Hill. Also, you can say "fuck" and "shit" at TWoP. It's very freeing.
I don't know..."Bitches in Britches" is pretty amusing.
And Jonah Hill is riding Seth Rogen's coattails.
"they better not take my favorite book and make them spoiled sluts."
Yeah. Proper little ladies or "spoiled sluts." Who says false dichotomies are dead? You're come a long way, baby.
