Quick News Roundup
Ausiello says: Mark Pellegrino, who plays Jacob on Lost and Rita's ex on Dexter, has been cast as Lucifer for Supernatural's big apocalypse show down next season while Chris Vance, pretty much the only redeeming quality (in our opinion) of Fox's one-run summer show Mental will be joining the cast of USA's Burn Notice for four episodes as an MI5 agent.

What Did You See During Lost's 100th Episode?
The internet has been all a flutter about those "What Did You See" spots that ran during each commercial break of this evenings Lost. Surprisingly, not many people seem to know what they're talking about even though the Hollywood Reporter ran a story about the ads last week.
The show hasn't officially been picked up by ABC but they probably wouldn't be wasting some very expensive ad time if it weren't gonna run the show, would they?
Watch the clips here.

And does anyone know what show was playing on the TV in the hospital waiting room just before Eloise Hawking shows up?
Updated 05-08-09: ABC has officially picked up Flash Forward.

Incoming!
Tonight (Tuesday)
Fringe. Finally got caught up from that American Moron debacle and must say the show has come back from hiatus with a vengeance.
The Unusuals. As posted earlier, ABC is running two new episodes of The Unusuals this week, hoping to see if a new time slot and lead-in will bump ratings up. That means there's some high hopes for this show in the upper echelons of the network.
Rescue Me. The season is off to a funny start, as per usual. With all the build up towards the section 8 hearing, the outcome was a bit flat but...probably more true to life than if anything crazy would have happened.
Wednesday
Lie To Me. Each week brings up another intriguing story. I wonder how long they can keep it up, though. Seems like the stories could get stale after a bit but Tim Roth's facial expressions and dead pan, though sometimes squeaky, acting will probably make up for that.
Better Off Ted. I'm not a fan of multicamera sitcoms but I have to admit to much chuckling during this show. Perhaps it's making fun of corporations that I love so much, but the off and on again romantic story line between Ted and Linda is rather cute and the bickering between Lem and Phil is quite comical. Veronica, though, is just creepy. Those Veridian Dynamics mock commercials are hilarious. ABC should have broadcast those as a mystery campaign before the show aired.
Lost. Very excited to see what Faraday has to say about what's going on. And where the hell is Sayid?
The Unusuals. It's a double shot this week.
Thursday.
My Name Is Earl. So sad the ratings for this show have been in declined because it probably creates the most laugh out loud moments of any show on my DVR.
Smallville. Who would have thought this show could last so many years and not get tiresome? Chloe is now in charge of keeping Davis from becoming Dr. Doom. That's a pretty big job. When she closed the basement door at the end of the last episode...Well let;s just say it was creepy.
Supernatural. This season has been ruling. The addition of the angels has made for some great moments (and great visuals). While I route for Sam and Dean to defeat evil, I take great pleasure in watch Dean wield his power...even if it is evil.
Parks and Recreation. The show has been getting a lot of hype and decent ratings...But I'm not really feeling it. Maybe because it's just storylines from The Office being reused.
Grey's Anatomy. When we last left them, Izzie had surgery, Meredeth and Derek were engaged, George was pouting, Alex was hiding his feelings (surprise!) and Owen and Cristina broke up. I'm hoping we start seeing more George lately. I miss him.
The Office. The new story line with the Michael Scott Paper Company has been pretty fantastic. Good job to the writers for freshening things up a bit. This is probably the best season since the second.
30 Rock. They've thankfully gotten out of the guest star slump the season started off with and the wit and charm has returned. When watching this show always listen carefully to catch all the great one-liners.
Southland. Episode three airs this week so the blog reviews should start flooding in. I'll just go ahead and say 'stunning'. Great new show that I look forward to weekly. Benjamin McKenzie portrayal of rookie officer Ben Sherman has been flawless and, much like Tim Roth but in a very different manner, he makes his facial expressions do most of the work. At times I have trouble watching an actor from a beloved show (The O.C.) take on a new part with out my mind unconciously melding the two characters together, but McKenzie, through sheer talent alone, managed to break that habit this time. I thought last week's episode was lacking in screen time for him, though.
Friday.
Flashpoint. Those Canadians know how to pack an emotional wallop, don't they. An upper-middle female aged coworker of mine had this to say about the series: "I love how these big burly men do manly things but are also so sensitive...but manly."
Dollhouse. The new blogger darling. Too bad 90% of the shows audience is watching it via illegal torrent downloads. Some may say that's what the network gets for scheduling the show on Friday nights but atleast you can get it at Hulu, people.
Numb3rs. For someone that failed pretty much every math related course offered at my high school, I still find this show pretty intriguing. Without continuing storylines, though, there's not much to write about.
Saturday.
Kings. Perhaps the move to Saturdays was warrented...I can see where the storylines are getting a bit tedious.

3D Television Coming Soon?
A former NBC head and a boxing promoter have teamed up to form Signet International Holdings, a startup with plans to purchase a small network called AMG TV. Though I've never heard of AMG, it apparently broadcasts mainly syndicated programs in areas just outside major cities, like New York's Hudson Valley (New York City/Stamford, CT) and California's Victorville (Los Angeles). Once AMG is in hand, they've teamed up with a company that spun off Lucasfilm's Industrial Light and Magic, Kerner Broadcast Corp., to create the first U.S. 3D network (apparently Japan has one already...of course).
Read the full story at Variety.
I can see where 3D television could be exciting at first. Could you imagine seeing the opening plane crash of Lost in 3D? That would be stellar TV in, literally, a whole new dimenson. The possibilty of stepping up the impact of visual effects on non-action scenes is just a great. Earl's wings on Saving Grace, for example. The problem is this technology won't instantly make old TV shows 3D -they have to be filmed that way and I forsee the costly nature of 3D as being quite a hinderance. I imagine it is probably expensive to film and broadcast and this could only lead to a drop in production values and we saw what happens when production values are lowerd (I'm thinking of you, NBC, and your 2008 flop Crusoe - low quality, low viewers, right?).
From reading the Variety article it seems the networks that are currently experimenting with 3D technology are all sports related. Not being a sports fan I couldn't care less, but I do realize how cool it could be to watch sports in 3D. I can see the commercials now "See the sweat fly towards you!".
