Finally, over the last few hours has been a rumor that ensures that Chuck close would be renewed for a fifth season.

Upfronts 2011: It of NBC programming

A few days ago NBC we had for several hours pending their ads because we were filtering account drops the vast majority of the new features that were intended to present at the upfronts this year. This causes that, now that the chain has officially announced its programming, missed much of the surprise factor but that does not mean that we have some interesting breaking news so let a compilation of what we will see over of the season 2011 / 2012.

The series still are as follows:

Parenthood: the family series which follows the day to day of the Braverman has managed to renew far-fetched because their hearings have not been too spectacular but had been made with good handful of very loyal fans.

Harry's Law: lawyers dramedy of David e. Kelley starring Kathy Bates will change to the night of Wednesday to support the premiere of the sitcoms up all night and free agents.

That Yes, the chain has decided to pass the night on Fridays (the worst night of the week with difference) to support the premiere of the new Grimm.

Community: the third season of the comedy that follows the adventures of the Greendale study group will in September, but perhaps we encounter some changes that the majority of the races of the community colleges lasts two years.

Parks & Recreation: Leslie knope and theirs have managed to consolidate its position as one of the best series of the chain and, in contrast to this season, won't have to wait so long to see the fourth since it will be released in September.

30 Rock: the pregnancy of Tina fey, Star and mastermind of the series, moves the premiere of his sixth season (presumably shorter) until the midseason.

And the novelties of the season are:

Prime suspect: the chain has placed the adaptation of the British detective series, starring maria Bello, in this case as demonstrated Thursday which is one of the largest betting chain for the next season. Grimm: is a drama with a touch of fantasy starring a detective whose mission is to protect a fantastic world full of characters from fairy tales. Partner with Chuck will be Friday night, something that suggests that chain does not trust too much in it.the firm: the adaptation of the novel by John Grisham, who at the time already had a celebrated film adaptation, filled with conspiracies the night of Sunday from next season. In this case, the story will be ten years later of the events in the film. Awake: Midseason.

CBS also anticipates their cancellations, renewals and assignments

After the surprising announcements pre-upfronts for FOX, ABC and NBC that leave few surprises for official submissions for this week, the major chains in open just missing by pronouncing the CBS. And though the news is not so much less surprising (or so many) as its competitors, nor stays behind because he has announced that it cancels mad love, the defenders and shit My Dad says, and continues with two broke girls and persons of interest.

Two developments, Persons of Interest, the project produced by J. j. Abrams which stands out most is (another) and Jonah Nolan, the brother of Christopher Nolan and screenwriter for films like Memento or The Dark Knight. But if this were not enough incentive, in the cast we find names such as James Caviezel and Taraji p. Henson, and it will count with the collaboration of luxury of the ex-lostie Michael Emerson. The series focuses on a CIA agent, who is recruited by mysterious millionaire who charge you kill all the criminals of the city of New York after being given up for dead.

On the other hand, Two Broke Girls is a television sitcom co-written by Michael Patrick King, the once runner of Sex and the City, and the actress, comedy whitney cummings, that next season will have his own series on NBC and tells the life of two hard-working waitresses of a dinner of Brooklyn (performed by kat dennings and )Beth Behrs) seeking to sell their own muffins out of the crisis and to survive in a very expensive as New York City.

With regard to cancellations we have Shit My Dad Says, Mad Love and The Defenders, all new series who have failed to keep up what was expected of them. The series of William Shatner is paradigmatic that, while in any other network your audience would be considered very high, it was very short compared to his partner of Thursday The Big Bang Theory.

Finally, for now it seems that the only ones who have assured the Mike & Molly, Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods renewal (despite the departure of their showrunners for creative reasons). But to get to know the grid of the next season to the compleoa will have to wait until Wednesday so do not despair if you still don't know anything about your favorite series.

NBC: what happens with The Dark Tower?

In the television industry, as well as in the film industry, projects are ambitious or ambitious - well, with capital letter (s). An example of the latter is the mega-project of NBC and Universal Studios, who plan to produce a combo of three feature films and a series of two full seasons; eesto for the adaptation of The Dark Tower. Only with imagine it provoca me chill. The project led by Ron Howard, with the approval of the same Stephen King (creator of the series), would begin production this summer for the first film in may 2013. And I say it would begin, because the project crosses its first hurdle.

NBC Universal postponed the production of The Dark Tower, whose first film rolls now until February 2012; talking about the slaughter of six months. The move comes as a result of a budget cuts mandated by the company to Howard and Akiva Goldsman - screenwriter and producer. The curtailment of time and money (definitely) will be reflected in the quality of the final product. We have a terrible news that, hopefully, not start "the Chronicle of a death foretold".

Let us recall that the plan considers the release of three films; the first is release date 17 may 2013, which works as an introduction to a television season. It would be submitted during the regular season autumn 2013, to be followed by a second film... and so consecutively. Will it be enough time to start the project? If I were Ron Howard really was nervous.

Another very important aspect is the agenda of the main talent, is now restricted to its protagonist, Javier Bardem - although I am still waiting for an official statement. From the outset, the Spanish would have to sacrifice four years of his career to make the adaptation of the Stephen King series. Budget cuts could affect your salary or compromising the quality of the series. It will remain an attractive project for the actor? Time will tell.

Putting aside the "bad news", it must be admitted that the NBC channel is not characterized by the quality of their programs. In recent years we have brought us a lot of disappointments with the chain of the Peacock; due to the characteristics of the history, I would prefer the support of a premium channel such as HBOor AMC . Is it that, at some point, will be considered this possibility? Difficult, but it would be extraordinary. At the moment is nothing more than waiting and waiting.

House, After Hours

With two episodes to finish their seventh season, the plot of House becomes increasingly more intense - I have yet the previous UPI.com, comes at a time. Hoping to fix his leg (and life), Gregory house goes back to self-destruction. How will come out of this situation?, what are the consequences to personal level and, of course, professional? We will see in After Hours. Warning: the promo that below we share is quite revealing.

I tell them: we are before a closing intense which, I hope, not us disappoint. After Hours maintains the regular format of three narrative arcs: Remy 'Thirteen' Hadley is unexpectedly visited by Darrien - guest actress, Amy Landecker-, an ex-convicta friend who need urgent medical attention. Upon learning that Darrien has gone to the use of drugs, Thirteen promises not to take her to the hospital, where police officers can be found Instead, ask for help to Chase in their time of distress. Meanwhile House faces devastating information about the effects of the experimental drug and Taub tries to accept a surprising news.

On this occasion, due to the characteristics of its development, FOX has decided to keep discreet with shorter three fragments of the ordinary. The first, corresponding to the subplot of Thirteen, introduces us to Darrien at their time of desperation, asking for help and discretion to Thirteen. Later, House speaks with the doctor in charge of the study, who shows you the effects of the compound in the laboratory rats. Finally, Taub received a press release that "hit you" strong, very strong. How will these three doctors face the current situation?, what will be the reaction of Cuddy to stupidity committed by House?

After Hours, the penultimate episode of House for this season, airs in a few hours. You can find it in our selection of downloads of the day, tomorrow, Tuesday. Meanwhile, we have time to share some theories. Go ahead!

House: The Fix

From the moment that House was operated of his leg, he has been associated physical pain with the emotional pain--something that I like to call "Stacy Warner effect"-. As says it Wilson during the episode, he believes that fixing his leg he can fix his life. Motivated by this, a risky (or stupid,) decision not to say anything else. How will it affect compound CS-804 to House? We have the beginning of the end... in addition, we have not one, but two patients of the week: the official and the bet who doesn't want to pay. Comment.

The fix is different ways of arranging a personal situation, through various people: the conduct of Wendy Lee (the official patient); the Boxer that made him lose a bet to House (the patient from the money); and, most important, the risk of House to consume an experimental drug, in an early stage of research. The three sub-tramas are mixed to perfection, making a subtle introduction arc that will take us towards the end of the season: how the image of the dead rateta! Despite warnings, both Thirteen, and Wilson, we fall not on account of the consequences to this visual coup; the last shot of the episode.

It is clear that House is motivated by the desire to move forward with their lives, without Cuddy, without anyone's. This is his greatest obsession, what really keeps you occupied. Efforts to keep distracted his friend Wilson are insufficient, although this time it shows a clear obsession with sports bet and the Riddler on the medical condition of the Boxer. It reaches such a degree of behaving like a lunatic bully. Up came to be for the welfare of the poor Boxer, with all these tests: from epinephrine, until the litres and litres of water which had to take a little. This same obsession is used as a pretext to not address the case of your patient real and, thus, the consumption of the happy compound that promises growth of muscle make clear.

As a result, the diagnostic equipment must solve the puzzle on their own, without any kind of advice. Again, I am not a doctor, for the same reason I do not know if the development of the medical terms was adequate. But, as a faithful follower of House since its first episode, I know that Foreman, Chase, Taub and Thirteen are perfectly capable of resolving a case on their own; they have done before. This time the doctors are confused, working almost a blind between different theories and treatment of the symptoms. While Foreman shows desperate to work in this way - getting to the point of "scream" you to the same Cuddy-, Taub focuses on resolving the symptoms at least to stabilize the patient and Thirteen maintains its serenity and coherencein spite of getting involved with the problems of House. I have to say it, Thirteen returned everything in the series.

In the end, we learned that the puzzle is more complex than imagined, although starting the relationship of the boyfriend in the poisoning of Wendy Lee - curious that we never knew of the lunatic ex-boyfriend - was obvious. Cesar retained its history of poisoning, accusing the third in discord. It was until they raised the marrow transplant, when they fell into account. Most obvious would not be. I personally believe that the theory of karma, which raises Thirteen initially, aplica… not from the creation of explosives, but the unfaithful behavior of the patient. It is somewhat interesting, in particular by the disapproval of this belief by House.

Finally, the reaction of Wilson and Cuddy in the absence of House find me interesting. Both believe that it's fine, which is another of their ways to draw attention to unwittingly. Meanwhile his subordinates know that something is wrong. The Chief convinced this is Foreman, who asks Cuddy in his role as head and Wilson to admit his defeat in the bet. The team admits that he cannot with the case, who feel lost without his boss to lead the differential. And the case, it seems, justified it. It was interesting to see the exchange of theories among doctors; Although perhaps missed integration by Chase. In the end, released it forward.

The fix is in general a surround episode from beginning to end. The drama of the "cases" has been seasoned with bromance (something that is missed) and large phrases by all characters. I note in particular: ' Kill me for loving my patients ' House, 'Thanks, I feel warm inside"of Foreman, Cuddy's" Ma Nishtana". Favorite moments: the dance of the victory of Wilson; the Thirteen comments on the House of the patient; the face of everyone when they are about to give up, when Thirteen suggests AML; Thirteen continues to be a big surprise on his return. In general, a perfect balance between puzzles and drama House.
