CBS has ordered a remake of 80′s cop series Hawaii 5.0.

Fringe” creators/”Star Trek” scribes Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, along with “CSI: NY” exec producer Peter Lenkov are teaming up for the revamped series.

The original show starred Lord as Hawaiian state policeman Steve McGarrett and ran for 12 years. Besides the “Book ‘em, Danno” catchphrase, the show was also known for the music from its classic opening sequence.

NBC Bringing ‘Chuck’ Back Early?

Apparently execs over at NBC are in discussions on whether to bring back fan favorite ‘Chuck’.

How early you ask? Possibly as early as this month! I’m guessing it’s due to the cancelation of Southland and the early ratings woes of veteran and returning series.

This also means that the chances of a full 22 episode pickup are even more likely…. i’m so excited!

Lauren Graham Joins ‘Parenthood’

It’s official! A rep for Lauren Graham’s has announced that she has signed on to NBC’s ‘Parenthood’.

According to EW’s Michael Ausiello, the ‘Gilmore Girls’ alum has signed on to play the role of mom Sarah, the part of formerly cast Maura Tierney (ER).

In case you don’t know the back story, the part of Sarah was played by Tierney but she had to pull out following the discovery of cancer in early August. Helen Hunt was also in the running for the role at one point or another.

Parenthood is tapped to begin airing Midseason on NBC.

The Office – A very PB & J Wedding.

I don’t know about you but this was the only episode of a TV show that I’ve actually looked forward to in a while. I don’t think I had been that excited since the Friends finale in 2004.

Thursday TV Ratings: Office and Parks Up, Everything Else Down

via tvbythenumbers.com

Survivor: Samoa took the 8pm hour though it was down a few ticks from last week.   FlashForward took a big dip from last week’s 3.7 adults 18-49 rating down  all the way to a 3.0 this week.  I DVRd it and watched baseball. FlashForward did win the hour with adults 18-34 though.  Bones was actually up a couple of ticks vs. last week.

Community took a pounding in its move from 9:30p to 8:00p, dropping all the way from a 2.9 to a 2.0.  However, that’s an improvement versus last week’s 1.8 for  SNL: Weekend Update. In fact, the NBC lineup improved in each time slot versus last week.

The hour long wedding episode of The Office pulled a 4.5 rating, up from last week’s 3.7.   Grey’s Anatomy dropped from a 6.0 rating with adults 18-49 last week to a  5.3 this week.   CSI also took a hit dropping from last week’s 4.0 to a 3.4 adults 18-49 rating last night.

Private Practice was down big from last week’s premiere, and The Mentalist dropped a few ticks at 10pm as well.  The Jay Leno Show improved a tick, but it had a much better lead-in with the hour long Office than last week.   Updates and total viewers will be added soon…

Retentionistas will be all over Fringe dropping to a 2.1, but like Flashforward, for me,  Fringe went by the wayside for baseball last night.  Even with this, FOX was the only network up year over year for the same night with adults 18-49.  It was only up 9% versus last year, but all of the other networks were down.  So far this year, FOX is up 39% versus last year on Thursdays with adults 18-49.

On the CW The Vampire Diaries is staying strong, and at least with 18-49s was unchanged week over week.  Supernatural was down a tick with 18-49s, which is too bad since it was fun to see Paris Hilton mock herself for spray tans and small dogs, and then get to see her head chopped off with an iron axe!

Studio 60 Alum Nate Cordrry Joins 30 Rock

Hit (At least with the EMMY commitee) NBC show,  30 Rock has tapped former Daily Show (and Studio 6o rival) correspondent Nate Corddry to play Liz’s upstairs neighbor, Brian.

The actor-comedian — most recently seen as stalker Gene Stuart on Showtime’s United States of Tara — will guest star in this season’s sixth episode.

The plot finds duplex-obsessed Liz scheming to get Brian to ditch his apartment so she can buy it and combine it with hers. Her plan hits a snag when she discovers something really unexpected and extremely spoilery.

NBC Cancels Southland Before Season 2 Premiere

NBC has officially canceled the John Wells’ sophomore drama Southland.

Originally part of the fall lineup, network execs decided that the drama, starring Ben McKenzie, wouldn’t bring in the desired ratings and has decided to put Dateline in it’s place.

The cancellation is the final nail in the NBC- John Wells relationship which before this has be prospering for 15 seasons with ‘E.R’. However, there are still rumours that the show could be picked up by a cable net.

ABC Gives Full Season Orders To Three Comedies…

ABC has announced that 3 of the 4 comedies in their new Wednesday comedy block have be given full season orders. The network just announced that Modern Family, The Middle and Cougar town will each have 22 episodes aired this season.

This is the 4th, 5th and 6th pick-up in recent days after the extension of NCIS: Los Angeles and The Good Wife earlier in the week. Glee was picked up for a full season just after its premiere.

Up in the air however, is the Kelsey Grammer starring vehicle ‘Hank’. ‘Hank’ has be drawing less than stellar ratings for the network, bringing in an average of 7 million viewers and just a 2.0 A18-49 rating, performing over 50% below the network average.
