Was The CW's move of OTH to Tuesday nights at 8 for a better lead-in for Life Unexpected or is OTH, The CW's sacrificial lamb to go up against Glee?
Did The CW go with a safety, because they didn't have enough good pilots this spring and just looked ahead to see what they could get together for a mid season replacement?
Glee's won a Golden Globe Award, a People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Comedy and a Peabody Award. It's won four Emmy Awards with an additional 15 nominations for the show. Their critical acclaim and solid ratings have gotten them some of the biggest names in music to be a part of the show either releasing their music to be used in the show or appearing on it. And with Britney coming to play with the Gleeks is there anyway OTH can compete?
But can you just imagine Sensitive Julian vs. Sue Sylvester in a Thunderdome showdown ?
"I have more cajones in one cone, than all of you misterand you dare call yourself supportive.
I.... am... disgusted"
Glee has an average rating of 9.77 million weekly viewers. OTH's best rating were during their second season averaging 4.3 million viewers, last season they averaged 2.3 million. Both shows are geared to the same demographics. With only a half a season secured, The CW has done the bare minimum of an ad campaign. OTH was was not invited to the Television Critics Association gathering in August like last season. There are no new photoshoots.
Just call it. Dead Man Walking.
Did OMG scoop the big guys?
Yesterday OMG posted at 2:53PM EST about Sharon Lawrence being cast as Julian's mom, from a tweet posted over the past weekend. At 9:31PM EW.com's Michael Ausiello posted "the exclusive" about Sharon Lawrence coming on the show.
Comments at EW did bring up a good point. Didn't it seem like Julian's mom was dead, from his comments that he couldn't save her. Well, OTH has killed off enough people in the past season, maybe season 8 they're doing to to characters what they can't do with the show, beat the Grim Reaper.
Picture this.
Alex Greenwald of Phantom Planet tweeted this picture last night, a picture of him and friend Jenny Lewis. "Found this pic of me & Jenny Lewis 10 YRS AGO" Why mention it. It's who took the picture according to Alex's tweet. Jake.
And from this tweet, looks like old friend Matthew Frost was there when Jake snapped it.
Alex was in Donnie Darko with Jake, Matt was a set production assistant for the movie, and long time friend Jenny was Jake's date for the premiere.
Hard to believe it's been 10 years since they filmed it.
