Tales of Robinson Crusoe Heading to NBC
(via)Recently, NBC turned to the ‘80s in search of series for its fall lineup, banking on nostalgia for Knight Rider to be a hit. Now, it’s turning to the classics in the pursuit of another hit series for its fall lineup. Look for Robinson Crusoe to hit the Peacock network soon.
Can NBC’s ‘Knight Rider’ Live up to the Memories?
(via)I had prepared myself to be let down when I saw NBC’s two-hour movie/pilot for Knight Rider. However, I must say that producers Dave Bartis (The O.C.) and Doug Liman (Bourne Identity) did a fair job of bringing a second-generation KITT and story into the 21st century.
Is it Lights Out for Friday Night Lights?
(via)Well it looks like we might have seen the last original episode ever of Friday Night Lights last Friday. And if you’ve had a chance to see this fine drama, you’d agree this news is a travesty.
Can Everyday Women Relate to ‘Lipstick Jungle?’
(via)The show is betting on New York life, high-powered careers and fashions that I can’t even dream of affording to bring it the same success as Sex and the City and maybe it’ll work. Since I wasn’t drawn to that show, it’s no surprise that Lipstick Jungle isn’t an immediate hit with me.

‘Chuck’ Saves the Day with Porn
(via)I watched my first premiere of a new fall series last night and I have to say if the rest of the offerings are as good as Chuck, we are in for a great season. I mean what else can you say about a show where the hero saves the day with porn of all things.
‘Heroes’ Four Months Later
(via)I’ll be honest with you I was less than thrilled with Heroes’ Season 1 Finale. It didn’t live up the incredible excitement built all year. So the big question is will Heroes be able to avoid a sophomore slump? The premiere of “Four Months Later” gave me a little hope.

'Heroes' finale not nearly as explosive as expected
(via)I’ve been prepping myself all week to temper my expectations for the season finale of Heroes. Seriously, the freshman series has been building for an explosive finale all season long. How was it every going to live up to hype? Well, I’m glad I did. While I think that the season ender was a solid episode, it in no way blew me away. There were no surprise revelations like the Numbers finale. It wasn’t even as powerful of an episode as Supernatural’s cliffhanger.
