TCA Roundup: Far-Reaching FX

Posted by James Poniewozik | Comments (1) | Permalink | Trackbacks (0) | Email This

* Fox turns over its remaining time on the TCA stage to sibling network FX, which announces that Nip/Tuck will end after an even 100 episodes, while It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia will be on long after Philadelphia is run by the cockroaches. And it introduces human-lab-rat comedy Testees. Pronounced just like you think.

* Fox chief Peter Liguori gets sci-fi with Maureen Ryan, talking Dollhouse, Ron Moore's Virtuality project and other matters geek.

* However, Fox News neglected to mention in its session the other day that Brit Hume is stepping down after the election, leaving a vacancy at the evening anchor desk. Shep-ard Smith! Shep-ard Smith!

I'm not sure anyone will still be watching Nip/Tuck by the time episode 100 rolls around. I guess we will see.

And while Sunny being around until the end of time fills me with glee, I am a bit concerned with what this means for Boldly Going Nowhere's chances.
