X! Files! Crappy bootleg teaser trailer and nice production still here.
Indiana! Jones! Trailer here.
Mister! Darcy! The 2005 production of Pride and Prejudice (with mmmmmMatthew MacFadyen and Kiera Knightley) will be premiering on Oxygen Saturday, March 8th at 8pm PST.
F**king! Matt! Damon! Jimmy Kimmel's gut-splitting followup video here.
There's a list at EW of how many episodes of each show will be produced this season (if any), and when they'll begin to air. I'm just going to list the ones relevant to me here, for my own quick reference:
Desperate Housewives - 4 or 5, late April
Heroes - 22+, Fall 2008
Lost - 13 total, in progress (break in mid-March)
The Office - 5 or 6, April 10
Scrubs - 5 (+4?), April 10
Ugly Betty - 4 or 5, late April
Then I realized that this list isn't complete, pshaw. So on to the next list, at TV Guide:
Jericho - 4 (I think?) episodes left, continuation of series TBD
Journeyman - Kaput
Pushing Daisies - Fall 2008
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Future TBD
And of course The 4400 was cancelled a couple months back. No idea about Breaking Bad, though it appears to be doing well ratings-wise and critically, so I'm assuming it'll live another season at least.
I don't watch the AMC site, but I probably should. Because I know I miss great classic movies all the time, and I nearly didn't catch their fantastic new original series, Breaking Bad. I might have caught on eventually, through Entertainment Weekly, but then I would've missed out on a few weeks of super WGA strike programming, and what a shame. It was just pure dumb luck that I happened to be watching an AMC movie live (never happens), and caught an ad that reeled me right in like a worm-starved trout.
Bryan Cranston was a comedic genius as the dad in Malcolm in the Middle, but he really gets to show off his range here, as a madly desperate cancer-stricken chemistry teacher. But the plot runs just a wee bit crazier -- nay, effed-upped-er -- than all that would imply (don't go in with a weak stomach, either). I haven't watched many basic cable dramas, but I'll go out on a limb and guess that this one isn't anywhere near run-of-the-mill. The premise is fresh, the writing and cinematography cinematic, and the casting a treat.
You can watch episodes one and two online right now. Hooray!
