NBC has done it again. They’ve killed another show that I enjoy.
According to SciFi Wire, My Own Worst Enemy will die after it’s 9th episode. I can’t say I’m surprised, as the show wasn’t anything great. However it is better than a lot of the crap that’s on the NBC networks (including SciFi).
I hate you NBC.
Tonight is the season premier of the new Knight Rider. I enjoyed the movie they aired a while back, so it’ll be interesting to see how the show does. Looks like they’ve beefed up the car a bit more.
Tonight (in about half an hour) will be the return of Heroes. Starting at 8:00 p.m. EST is a 1 hour special / recap. With the two hour season premier of Heroes: Villains (season 3) starting at 9:00 p.m.. I’m excited!
According to SciFi Wire, Bionic Woman has been canceled by the network. The news comes from David Eick one of the show’s executive producers. No official announcement has been made by the network at this time.
Last month NBC pulled their library of shows from iTunes, and had some not-so-nice things to say about Apple. Why? Basically NBC got greedy, and wanted to jack the price up for NBC content that was offered over iTunes. Now, it looks like NBC is singing a different song.
We’ve had 3 episodes so far, and NBC has already ordered a second season of American Gladiators. There isn’t any additional information available at this time. No clue when season two will air, or how many episodes it will be. Or even if the Hulkster will be back.
Looks like fans of Journeyman are taking a page out of the Jericho book. When CBS canceled Jericho, fans (including me) sent tons of nuts to CBS headquarters. The nutty planned worked, and soon Jericho will be back for a short season two. Now fans are trying a similar approach with NBC over Journeyman.
While it’s not as cool as the whole “Nuts for Jericho / Save Jericho” campaign, the Save Journeyman campaign is asking fans to send in Rice-A-Roni to NBC and NBC Universal executives. Why send in boxes of “The San Fransisco Treat”? Because Journeyman is set in that location. Duh.
NBC ’s Universal Studios has officially debunked rumors that it was dumping HD-DVD and moving to Sony’s Blu-Ray format. This is good news for the HD-DVD fans, earlier this week it was looking as if HD-DVD was dead and the HD format wars were over with.

If you caught tonights episode of American Gladiators, there was a contestant on from East Tennessee. Jeff Chapman is a Maryville native who graduated from William Blount High School in 1999. He’s a radcon tech in Oak Ridge, operates a karate studio in Kingston, and participates in amateur cage fights in Kentucky on the weekends.
Sadly for Jeff his martial arts training wouldn’t be enough for him. He blew a four second head start in “The Eliminator” and was ultimately defeated by the reverse escalator. Better luck next time Jeff!
Tonight was the two hour premier of an all new American Gladiators. And wow, is it back! The gladiators are amazing, and so are the contestants so far, especially the last 4 that competed. The wife and I will be tuning in Monday night during their scheduled time.
So far we’ve already had 1 contestant eliminated due to injury, as well as a gladiator hurt. And with the way the guys are playing, I’m sure well see a lot more bruises before it’s all over with.
I will admit though, it’s kinda odd seeing Hulk Hogan hosting the show. I keep wanting to see him run out and body slam someone. 
Oh, does anyone know what happened with the original gladiators? I’d be interested in seeing a “where are they now” special on them.
