Random TV Stuff

Still a little bummed about Extras not having a whole third season, but Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are still out there doing stuff, like travelling to Kenya for Comic Relief:



It's been a crazy week for cancellation type stuff, though.

First Veronica Mars was canceled, and then that story was retracted, and now they're talking about flashing forward 4 years into the future for next year? It's ballsy and interesting, but so was the Super Bowl episode of Alias, which marked a serious drop in the quality of the show. But I guess anything that gives us more VM is worth it, since it's still in real danger of being canceled.

And today Tina Fey is making it sound like 30 Rock and Friday Night Lights will be back, which would be absolutely great. 30 Rock seems to get better every week, and FNL manages to keep the drama coming without being over the top, which is tough to do these days.

In non-cancellation type events, April 17th seems like it'll never come, but it's not too much longer to wait for The Venture Bros. Season Two DVDs. The first set had some fun special features, and I thought the second season was even better than the already great first, so I'm hot to get my hands on this.
