NBC has confirmed it has ordered 10 episodes of Will and Grace for the 2017-18 seasons. Series creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan will return along with stars Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes. James Burrows is once again on board to direct all 10 episodes.
Also good news for This is Us ahead of its Australian debut on Channel Ten next month: NBC has renewed the show for two more seasons, taking it to 2018-19.
TNT has renewed Major Crimes for a sixth season. It will only have 13 episodes, down on previous seasons which had 19-22 episodes.
The Trump Administration is potentially planning to withdraw funding to Americaâs two public broadcasters: PBS on television and NPR on radio. PBSâ owner, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) receives around US$440 mil per annum from the Federal Government (less than 1/2 that of the ABC) and could be privatised.
Sesame Street will not be affected due to its move to HBO.
If the PBS and NPR are privatised they should not be called âpublic broadcastersâ anymore. Donald Trump is trying to stifle opposing views and discussion on his presidency.
TNT has renewed The Librarians for a fourth season, two days after the third season ended.
Actor and former White House staffer Kal Penn has raised over $200k for charity after racist comments were left on his Instagram page, telling him he âdoesnât belong in Americaâ.
He was born in the US and played Kumar in Harold & Kumar and Kutner in House M.D. (personally one of my favourite TV characters of all time). He is currently appearing in ABC political drama Designated Survivor.
Fox has renewed So You Think You Can Dance for a 14th season.
Amazon has renewed Mozart in the Jungle for a fourth season and Red Oaks for a third and final season. Mozart is available here on Stan.
I just wanted to ask anyone whoâs in the US (I watch US tv a lot online,ABC,NBC and FOX NEWS and CNN) about the 10/9 central time thing they have on the promo boards.
Is at 10am for central time? Then again 9am for Paficic time? So if itâs a live show (on occasion The View) so it airs at 11am New York time, but then airs live in a state thatâs an hour behind live - instead of delay?
I am sure I asked this before, but I canât remember if it was the old forums?
Yes. Iâve seen stories on Entertainment Tonight where theyâve mentioned something happened in the âeast coastâ screening which was edited when it screened on teh west coast.
