TV Roundup: “Eastbound & Down” renewed, ABC cleans house and more
- HBO has decided to renew “Eastbound & Down” for a second season. I just finished watching the six-episode first season and it was hilarious. There are at least 10 great lines or laugh out loud moments in each episode. If you start to watch the series, be sure to watch through the fourth episode before cutting it from your playlist. Between “Eastbound & Down” and “Summer Heights High,” comedy is alive on HBO.
- ABC has settled on a schedule for the final episodes of “Pushing Daises,” “Eli Stone” and “Dirty Sexy Money” to run this summer. I stopped watching “Eli Stone” early on, and “Dirty Sexy Money” earlier this season, but I’m especially sad to see “Pushing Daises” go.
- “Chuck” is on the verge of cancellation, but the good folks over at ChuckTV.net are doing their best to save the show. You can get free swag if you support their cause.
- “Fringe” fans, you know all of those weird symbols that appear just before the commercial breaks? Well, someone has figured out what they all mean.
Save Chuck! It is one of the BEST shows on TV right now!
I respect your passion, Charley, but I stopped watching “Chuck” earlier this season. It just got too silly.
“Eastbound & Down” is hilarious,, this show is just great,, good for a few laughs,, its worth
I actually liked Eli Stone,, it sa to see it go but i can see why.
I need more “EASTBOUND and DOWN”!! No more 6 episode seasons!!!!
Actually, I’m quite happy with six-episode seasons. The quality tends to be better when the seasons are shorter, and I’d guess that the writers and producers are probably happier not having to stretch things out with filler.
