Thursday's news is here from the future. And what a pleasant future it shall be! Aaron Sorkin, television genius, will once again grace us with his presence, The Primetime Emmy Awards are set for August, and reality shows about cooking go to the next level.
Word has it that once filming on the Facebook movie is complete, Aaron Sorkin will begin work on another TV show about the behind-the-scenes of another TV show. He's not saying what kind of TV show the series will be based on, but I'm feeling either a morning talk show or a primetime political newscast. What do you guys think?
The Primetime Emmys will be held a week early on August 29th next year. NBC gets a turn at airing the award show and will therefore not compete against Sunday Night Football. Oh, good! Now I won't have to pull a Sophie's choice that night.
NBC is launching a reality cooking competition, tentatively titled United Plates of America. The winner will launch four locations of their own restaurant chain the night of the show's finale. Ambitious much? Do you not need time to test out these restaurants first? And yes, more themed chain restaurants is just what we need here.
HBO renewed Real Time with Bill Maher for an 8th season. Liberals all across the land let out a sigh of relief, while Ann Coulter threw up in her mouth.
People are making a big deal about an Indian TV show where rich kids go to live with poor kids. They already did this in the U.S. with a spin-off of My Super Sweet 16. It was called Exiled! and all I remember is that one of the little brats was sent to live with the Massai tribe in Africa and whined about having to go to the bathroom outside, when really, she should have realized she was given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I digress, but I wish I could watch this Indian version.
G4 will air a show called Campus PD which will be about police patrolling colleges and universities. The description of the show says, "the cops on the show deal with everything from drunk driving to shoplifting to indecent exposure." I can't wait to see some entitled college kids crap their pants when they go to jail for one night (Or one hour. Or 22 minutes.) Should be fun.

Ann Coulter usually just throws up in her brain. It's how she comes up with her books.
When the teaser said "Sorkin [...] will grace us with his presence, I thought you meant on TWoP. I was in disbelief, thinking, "Seriously? He's coming back? What about the commentroversy?" But then I read the article, which explained that he's just coming back to TV.
I hope and pray that, before scripting the new show, Sorkin takes a few days to watch the entire Sports Night boxed set and remember what he is capable of creating.
I hope Sorkin does a political news show, the live setting obviously intrigues him and he could give the show the tone he wanted for Studio 60 that made no sense because comedy sketch shows are not really that fraught with tension and anxiety (at least that is what I get from 30 Rock) and Erin you are so right about Sports Night, plus he might have some special copy of Sports Night sans obnoxious laugh track.
