Two Tivos To Paradise 03.05.10: In Like A TV News Lamb

Posted by Al Norton on 03.05.2010

Pamela Anderson and Kate Gosselin among those Dancing with the Stars, Dustin Hoffman starring in a new HBO series, Supernanny Jo Frost stops by to chat, Rob Lowe moving to Parks and Recreation, raves for Caprica, tons of news and notes, the TV Pick of the Week and more, all in the latest edition of Al Norton's Two Tivos To Paradise!



Hello Friends. I'm thrilled with the turnout at the official Two Tivos To Paradise Facebook fan page – thanks for all of you who visited us last week – but want to make sure you know there is always room for more. We will be using that page for all future giveaways, including some surprise ones for hitting randomly selecting fan totals. Also, we'll use the status updates for breaking TV news. What are you waiting for?!?!

Hope you were checking the 411mania TV/Movies page all this week as I had interviews posted with Patrick Warburton, Shawn Hatosy, Paula Marshall, and James Marsters. Use the link to pull up my profile at the bottom of the page to pull them all up. Of course, if you were a FB fan of TTTP than you'd get these interviews the morning they run, but I digress…Speaking of interviews, you can find my chat with Katee Sackhoff on the site this coming Monday.

I am very excited for the new season of Friday Night Lights next month on NBC and this scene did nothing but add fuel to that fire…



Hey soul sister I don't wanna miss a single thing you news tonight.

Have You Seen Her, So Fine And Pretty, Fooled Me With Her Style And Ease
The participants for the upcoming cycle of Dancing with the Stars were announced as part of Monday's finale of The Bachelor, with some big names from the world of pop culture ready to cut a rug in front of millions. The new season, which premieres on March 22nd, will feature Buzz Aldrin, Pamela Anderson, Erin Andrews, Shannon Doherty, Kate Gosselin, Evan Lysacek, Niecy Nash, Chad Ochocinco, Jake Pavelka, Aiden Turner, and Nicole Scherzinger.

I think the casting folks at DWTS do a brilliant job each time around at signing folks who will each bring their own audience to go along with those who will watch no matter who they trot out there. You've got athletes (Lysacek, Ochocinco), 80's nostalgia (Doherty), pop culture figures (Anderson, Gosselin, Pavelka), the media (Andrews, Nash), music (Scherzinger), and the older, underdog (Aldrin). Andrews and Nash are great choices from a publicity point of view because both will guarantee the show extra coverage on the programs they are on (Sportscenter and The Insider).

People may not like Gosselin but her TV show was hugely popular and her books bestsellers so she will bring a strong fan base with her. Mrs. Tivo has already expressed interest in watching this season to see how she, and Aldrin, do, and we haven't watched since John O'Hurley was robbed in season one.

To Me It Goes Without Saying, Underestimated, Yes I Am
HBO made it official this week by giving Game of Thrones a 10 episode first season order, with production set for this June in Belfast. Adapted from a popular series of fantasy novels by George R Martin, the project has been getting a ton of buzz since it was in the rumor stages last year as many thought its dramatic power struggle and use of realistic and brutal violence would be a great fit for television. The cast includes Sean Bean, Peter Dinklage, Mark Addy, Lena Headey, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.

I must admit to being unfamiliar with the books before I started hearing about the TV adaptation but by all accounts there are a lot of very passionate fans who, according to internet chat rooms, are pleased with the casting so far. HBO has been on a huge role in their comedy series (Hung, Bored to Death, and How to Make it in America are all very popular on these pages) and my guess is this will pull some viewers in who wouldn't normally be watching the network, which is always a good thing.

I've Dealt With My Ghosts And I've Faced All My Demons, Finally Content With A Past I Regret
Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is reporting that Rob Lowe is thisclose to signing on for a run on NBC's Parks and Recreation that would include several episodes at the end of this season and quite likely extend into the fall. It was announced late last year that he would be leaving Brothers & Sisters at the end of the season and it was rumored that ABC was trying to launch a new series around him but this would clearly get in the way of that plan.

I love this for several reasons, mostly because Parks and Recreation is quite funny and so is Lowe, so the combination seems great. It's a very smart move for him as he probably didn't like anything he read as far as pilots go so this allows him to show more of his comedy chops, keep him out in the public, and then next winter he can have his pick from all the pilots, sitcoms and dramas.

Parks has improved dramatically during its second season but there is no doubt that Lowe's fame and the publicity him joining the show would generate would bring new eyes to the series, which is always a good thing.

Long Ago And Oh So Far Away, I Feel In Love With You Before The Second Show
Supernanny returns to ABC's lineup tonight with new episodes. We recently caught up with Jo Frost – Supernanny herself – to chat for a few minutes about the state of parenting as she sees it.

TTTP: Watching the show it seems like there are a lot of parents who don't know what they're doing. Are parents more overwhelmed now than they were 25 years ago?

Jo Frost: I don't think so. Hey, we're feeling the pinch now with the economy, with the budgets and the cut backs and how that has an effect on the American Family, and the ripple effects on the kids. I just think we're more aware; the button is switched on and we're more conscious of it. The media talks about it and we've come into a genre of self-help when it comes to television shows. We are more aware than were but society has evolved as well. Technology is moving at a pace that we're all but chasing and the world feels like a different place, where people feel like they can't have at the rate they used to have.

TTTP: If you were to make a list of the biggest issues parents face, would junk food, the internet, and video games be at or near the top?

Jo Frost: I believe that they are in that category, yes. I believe that we live in a disposable world where we want everything yesterday. I think it's important to realize you have to work for results, they don't come overnight. We're a celebrity driven society and we need to recognize that and lead by example, certainly to show behavior that's role model behavior.

Yes, we have seen an increase in obesity and that coincides with the amount of exercise and activity children are not getting. Technology has become the 21st century babysitter. We've seen products produced as a mass level and reasonable priced so that people go out and buy lots of plastic and don't spend time interacting and engaging with their children. Parents talk about time but you have to carve the time in. If you pack your life too full eventually you are going to come apart at the seams. The art is being to take off your plate, not put on. We salute and admire the person who is juggling 100 things at once and the lesson is to prioritize what really is important and what isn't. When you really do that and cut down, you realize there are really only six things that are important, and the family is number one.

TTTP: You've seen more families and parental units of all kinds over the last seven or eight years than probably anybody else on the planet so I want to ask if there is anything you've seen in your experience that gives you any reason to think gay and lesbian people shouldn't be allowed to be parents?

Jo Frost: No. No. Not at all. I personally don't think that your sexuality should define how you parent, by any means or measures. I have numerous friends who are gay, in loving relationships, and are doing a great job raising their children.

Part two of this chat runs next Friday, when Supernanny's 100th episode airs. Don't miss Supernanny, tonight at 8 pm on ABC.

But You Were Up To Your Old Tricks In Chapters Four Five And Six

THURSDAY
The first results episode of American Idol was the least watched outing of the series since 2004, with 17.8 million.

On an up note, it was the highest rated Southland telecast that TNT has aired…American Idol's demos more than doubled the next closest show and their 23.5 million total viewers were more than enough to easily win the night…NCIS was the night's (and the week's) top rated scripted show with 19.6 million total viewers…NCIS: LA (24%) and The Good Wife (13%) had sizeable demo drops…9.3 million tuned in to watch Lost, although 10% of last week's demos did not return…

Turns Out Not Where But Who You're With That Really Matters
The top thing I watched since the last column went to press AKA The Best Of What's Around…There are plenty of good shows on TV but for those few that make the jump to greatness there is usually an episode that is pointed to as the moment in which the leap was made, and for Caprica that episode was last Friday night's There Is Another Sky. While it will always be associated with Battlestar Galactica, the hour made it clear that the show is a force to be reckoned with in its own right. Included in the top moments were…

*Eric Stoltz speech to his board of directors where he makes the Cylon model tear its own arm off. Aside from the subtext of his daughter's avatar being trapped the model, his words about the use of cylons made it clear why the eventual rebellion will take place, making this the first time these cylons were at all linked with what we saw in BSG.

*Tamara Adama cleaning house in New Cap City. At first I found her transition to quick thinking bad ass a bit hard to swallow but then I remembered she is after all an Adama, sister of the boy who grew up into the commander of the fleet, and I was fully on board.

*I may have known that the moment was coming but that didn't make Esai Morales performance as a Dad and husband finally making peace with his wife and daughter's passing only to pulled back into the virtual world any less compelling. The ceremony was incredibly moving, a great job of the writers getting all the little things right. The Adama Family is one of the more interesting on TV right now.

Caprica had been well acted, written, and directed since it premiered by last week's outing was all about giving the show its identity. I can't wait for tonight to see James Marsters!

People Say I'm Crazy Doing What I'm Doing. Well, They Give Me All Kinds Of Warnings To Save Me From Ruin
What's flashed before my eyes the last seven days…I tivo'd Jay Leno's return to The Tonight Show and didn't get any further than the monologue. I know humor is subjective but to me the man is just not funny and his jokes are painful in their unoriginality. I am not saying Conan's were cutting edge, and I think Dave at times suffers from the same issues that Jay does in terms of predictability, but this was unwatchable to me. Hey, to each their own, and if you're happy Jay is back and you're a fan that this was a big week for you. Me, I'll keep tivo'ing The Late Late Show and enjoying Craig Ferguson for the genius that he is…When How I Met Your Mother is at its best it gets serious laughs out of material that seems very real to the audience and that was the case this week with the whole "on the hook" person theme. Some people complain that the show spends too much time focusing on Barney's pursuit of women and they are right in that the show is at its funniest when his crazy sex life is a complementary story and not the main plot; the laughs are more bountiful when he is being so outrageous in contrast to the other character's more normal lives…Southland returned with a VERY strong outing, one that had me more convinced than ever that NBC is, or at least should be kicking themselves…Regular readers know I have a complicated relationship with Rules of Engagement but the season premiere showed it has about as good a handle as any comedy on TV on the way guys talk to each other and the insults that abound…Golf Channel's new Being John Daley is quite earnest in its look at the golfer's recovery and attempted comeback and I mean that as the highest of praise. Sure, him singing around the campfire may have been cheesy but it was clear that's just who he is, so it worked. I will keep watching this one…I really have no idea what is going on on the island on Lost this season but the flash sideways/alternate reality parts of the episodes are so strong that I am not really bothered. Do I want more answers? Hell to the yes but I am more excited about this week's Ben-centric episode than I am whatever new info they give us…Can't say enough good things about the current season of Damages. I mean, I was loving it anyway but then they go and cast Wallace Shawn and I am in heaven. I have been pretty critical of Glenn Close in the past – well, actually more critical of the acclaim she has received than actually her – but the less Patty is in the spotlight, the more I like her work here. And Tate Donovan has never been better…My only issue with a very strong Chuck outing this week is that the key story points – Chuck becoming too good a liar and feeling like he is losing himself in the job – should have happened over multiple episodes instead of being stuffed into one hour. Zachary Levi has really proven himself to be a talented actor and one who is only going to get bigger from here. How great was it when Casey tells Chuck he's proud of him?...Much stronger week for the American Idol's-to-be, with the women standing out in particular. Kara is certainly much more vocal as a judge this year, and with quality criticisms to boot. Each week makes me wonder more and more why Ellen is a part of this show…Last night's one hour episode of The Office was funny but uneven and I enjoyed the second half - the post birth half - much more than the first. Almost everything that took place in Pam's hospital room was fantastic...Physical Education may have been the funniest Community of the season and I hope to God you stayed for the closing credits homage to Sesame Street's best known roommates...White Collar is going out in style, with two excellent episodes in a row leading up to this Tuesday's finale. I do wish they would lose a case or two but I am nitpicking at this breezy, highly entertaining new series...If you're not watching The Middle you're missing a wonderful mix of Rosanne and Malcolm in the Middle, one that really earns both it's laughs and it's heart...With each new episode Cougar Town proves that they can put their ensemble cast up against any other comedy on TV and stand proud. I have gone from considering it a guilty pleasure to acknowledging it's quality to now looking forward to it every Wednesday...

TV Pick Of The Week
It's the biggest movie awards weekend of the year, starting off with the 25th Annual Independent Spirit Awards, airing live on IFC at 11 pm (ET) and hosted by the always incredible Eddie Izzard. The next day is Oscar Sunday, the holiest day on the movie calendar. Red carpet coverage starts at 6 pm on E! and the TV Guide Network, and then at 7 pm the 29th – and last – Barbara Walters Special airs. At 8:00 pm is the main event, the 82nd Annual Academy Awards, hosted this year by the duo of Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. With 10 Best Picture nominees this year chances are you've seen at least a few of them. Hell, I've only seen two movies in the last seven months and I've seen two of them! And there is pretty good chance that you'll see some history, too, with Kathryn Bigelow being the favorite to win Best Director, which would make her the first woman ever to do so.

Don't miss THE movie award weekend of the year!

Hope You Need My Love, Babe, Just Like I Need You
Here is some other noteworthy programming of the next seven days…

*Shocking considering I don't know anyone who watches it but Ghost Whisperer celebrates its 100th episode tonight at 8 pm on CBS.

*Not sure if you want to watch tonight's premiere of NBC's new celebrity genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are? This trailer may help make up your mind…



*We're getting closer to March Madness and this Saturday ESPN2 gives you the chance to watch three teams play themselves in with conference championship matchup's for the Big South (4 pm), Atlantic Sun (6 pm), and Ohio Valley (8 pm).

*President Obama sits down for an interview with John Walsh as America's Most Wanted (8 pm, Fox) hits its 1000th episode on Saturday. I have written many times that Walsh is long overdue for a lifetime achievement award of some sort from the Emmys. Few have done as much for the greater good with their television time; in the show's 22 year history it has led to the capture of over 1100 fugitives including 17 that were on the FBI's Most Wanted list at the time. Even more important, there are 43 children that were reunited with their families thanks to the series. Get with it Academy!

*Julie Benz is fast becoming a TV "IT" girl and you can see her play a much more normal character than usual in the Hallmark Channel original movie Uncorked, Saturday at 9 pm.

*Big Love wraps up its jam packed season on Sunday at 9 pm with an episode that is bound to cause the shedding of a tear (or three).

*If you've found yourself going through a withdrawal from tawdry, cheesy melodrama than you're in luck as Gossip Girl returns to The CW with new episodes Monday at 9 pm, with Life Unexpected moving to the 8:00 slot.

*Jennifer Lopez guests on How I Met Your Mother (Monday, 8:00 pm, CBS), and since she is pretty funny and the show has a solid track record with big name guest stars, my expectations are high.

*ABC Family's Make It or Break It (9 pm, Monday) signs off until later this summer.

*If you were to look up slumming in a TV Dictionary it would say, "see Billy Campbell's guest stint on Melrose Place (Tuesday, 9pm, The CW).


*This week's Lost (Tuesday, 9pm, ABC) shows us what Ben Linus' life is like thanks to that rather big explosion that did (or didn't) take place on the island.

*ABC cutting its run a second time means that Tuesday's The Forgotten is the season (and most likely) series finale.

*Travel Channel debuts a new series called Food Wars on Tuesday at 10 pm. I don't know much about it but in the first episode two restaurants do battle, and I can get behind that.

*USA's uneven but still highly entertaining series White Collar wraps up its freshman season this Tuesday at 10 pm.

*A new cycle of America's Next Top Model (8 pm) begins on Wednesday night on The CW with a two hour special
