TV Newsy Bits - Monday, June 11, 2007

Jackie's TV Newsy Bits Greetings! Happy Monday to y'all. Well, if there is such a thing as a "happy" Monday. I suppose it could be an oxymoron like "jumbo shrimp."

Do you realize that by this time next month we'll have already picked our favorites on Big Brother 8?

Here are today's TV Newsy Bits...

  • Remember... The Closer third season premiere is next Monday, June 18 at 9 PM ET/PT on TNT. Did you miss some episodes of the second season? Not to worry! TNT is holding a fifteen-hour The Closer marathon starting at 6 AM leading into the season premiere. All of the second season will be shown. And, thanks to TBS, I was given a screener copy of the premiere episode -- it's a mind-boggler indeed.
  • Yikes! There was a bit of controversy over the Sopranos finale, eh?
  • Hide Harry! The man who was jailed in a kidnap plot to abduct David Letterman's son has escaped from prison. Don't go to Montana, Dave. Stay here on the East Coast and give us fresh pants.
  • Speaking of late-night television hosts, it's dawning on me who Lonnie Quinn -- ex-soap opera actor, transplant from a Florida station, dubiously credentialed meteorologist (certifcate, no degree) new WCBS2 (NYC) evening "meteorologist" -- reminds me of... Conan O'Brien with blondish hair. Ack.
  • Are you a fan of body art? Tomorrow night at 10 PM ET/PT, TLC will air the season premiere of Miami Ink. The show seems to be more about the art behind the tattoos than folks getting them. Check out the website for lots of cool show-related doings!
  • Oh... those poor Law and Order: Criminal Intent stars! According to this AOL TV News article, the show's major actors including Vincent D'Onofrio, will be returning next season without a raise. For some odd reason, I think they're still in a higher salary tier than most folks.

WOW about the escapee. In all seriousness, it's more than a little alarming that he was able to manage to get free. Only a small percentage of guys in prision do. I pray he doesn't get anywhere near adorbale little Harry. At least Dave is set up to hire full time security if needed.

PS: lol on the jumbo shrimp. Tickled.

And the idea that we would be watching BB far enough in by this time last month... just makes it feel a little closer than it is. Thanks for that Jackie!
:-D

TY for all the BB updates. CAN NOT wait for the "famous" @@'s.

Heard about the escapee yesterday. Makes you wonder how he got away?
