‘An Announcement To Make!!’ THE LAST DAY OF SWEEPS!! THE RETURN OF SANJAYA!! THE REAL WORLD REUNION!!

Published at:  May 23, 2007 10:16:12 AM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!

I am – Hercules!!


Fox bills tonight as “television’s biggest” because it airs the season finale of “American Idol,” its highest-rated series and the highest-rated series on TV.

It’s a big TV universe out there! NBC greets “television’s biggest night” by repeating its “SNL in the ‘90s” special, followed by a brand spanking new “Dateline” that, disappointingly, features no online pedophiles getting cuffed in suburban garages.

The CW strikes back by devoting its entire primetime block to “One Tree Hill” repeats. Sister network CBS has reruns of “NCIS,” “Criminal Minds” and “CSI NY.”

MyNetworkTV is the only broadcast network besides Fox filling its entire primetime slate with non-repeats – fresh episodes of “American Heiress” and “Saints & Sinners”!

WGN has its own live event tonight: the Cubs vs. San Diego. VH1 is cleverly running the “American Idol” movie, “From Justin To Kelly.” CMT is running “America’s Top Cowboy.” Showtime has a “Tudors” repeat and Nick Cage in “Lord of War.” HBO is boldly counterprogramming a documentary about insomnia. FX, back with its shinebox, is running a basic-cable version of the Paul Sorvino classic “GoodFellas.” The Disney Channel is bringing back 2005’s “Life Is Ruff.”

It’s a big night for marathons. E!, the other TV home of Ryan Seacrest, has nothing but “50 Most Shocking Celebrity Scandals.” SciFi fills its primetime slate on “TV’s biggest night” with three solid hours of “Ghost Hunters.” Court TV has a couple of “Mythbusters.” Spike has nothing but “CSI.” TNT has multiples of “Without A Trace.” BET is running lots of “Girlfriends,” featuring the luscious Golden Brooks. The N has six episodes of “One On One.” Oxygen is running “Resident Evil: Apocalypse” over and over again. And AICN recurring character MiraJeff wrote in to point out that CBS Innertube (the network’s Internet dealie) is launching a new show tonight called “Clark and Michael” starring “Superbad” superstar Michael Cera.

Happily, MTV has new TV at 10 p.m.: Once Not-Sanjaya beats the other Not-Sanjaya, the cable giant busts open a new one-hour reunion of the “Real World: Denver” cast, featuring Brooke and her homelier cohorts. I always enjoy the reunion specials because the editing of the show tends to leave the housemates furious with one another.

“American Idol”: 8 p.m. Wednesday. Fox.
“The Real World Denver Reunion”: 10 p.m. Wednesday. MTV.










The Unaired 73-Minute Pilot!!
50 Extended and Deleted Scenes!!
Loads Of Featurettes!!

Heroes: The Complete First Season!!





Can’t wait till June 1??

Before “Knocked Up,” Seth Rogan, Jay Baruchel, Jason Segal and writer-director Judd Apatow collaborated on an entire season of the hilarious “Undeclared’!!

    If you're gonna bother mentioning baseball for tonight, the only game is Red Sox/Yankees, Schilling vs Pettitte.

    Blake will win

    Vote for the Worst is backing him and he is the more talented performer. I hated the lame song that won the contest.

    He only mentioned the Cubs

    by jor-el23

    Because in Chicago at least, WGN carries the CW when there are no games. Although the Cubs game doesn't start until 9:00 PM CT so I don't know what the deal is.

    they should

    by slkboxrman

    rename american idol, american loser. not one winner since kelly clarkson has even been deserving of the title or had as much success. the voting scandal this season proves that the system is flawed and people really dont care anymore. the 2nd and 3rd place winners seem to be more talented than the ones that america votes for...either theyre purposely voting for someone retarded or these are the same people that re-elected george w bush....the america voting thing kinda makes the precence of judges a moot point when most of the time they clearly dont like the vote...the show deserves to die gracefully. but dumb mindless americans cant stop watching it...its no wonder that good script based TV shows get cancelled and more of this crap is on the air. how long before the networks are as horrible as mtv and vh1..dumb mindless americans, thats why. another show that is for dumb brainless people is dancing with the (has been) stars. america is getting dumber by the day, i blame oprah LOL

    than see one second of AI, and the UK prick who thinks he's a bigger music force than Bruce Springsteen. Ask Simon, he'll tell you like he did 60 Minutes.

    You are forgetting Carrie Underwood. She may not be as popular/big as Kelly Clarkson, but she is just as talented and just as big in the country world. She even has grammys to prove it.

    I'm pretty slow to anger, but dammit, when I see that annoying Sanjaya everywhere, I just want to see someone take a folding chair and whack him across the back of the head. I feel much better now.

    Sanjaya was payback

    by calamityjay

    The "serious" Amer Idol people purported to be so aghast at the ongoing popularity of Sanjaya, but it just showed them that their real audience is 10 year old girls with Disney cell phones who frantically speed-dialed their votes for their sweet fav.

    Saints and Sinners!

    by bentmywookie

    In a cliffhanger sweeps TWIST, the IFL invades the show and drags the My Network execs on camera and beat them. Watch for next year's spinoff, America's Next Top Test Pattern!

    Gas prices sour, the war in Iraq continues, Gitmo stays open, and the military industrial complex strangles the U.S. more and more each day. MTV, thank you for keeping our citizens in their twilight sense of being.
