This isn't explicitly related to anything here, but the word choice in the last sentence made me wonder:
Fox is retooling its strategy as it heads into the Thursday-night fray this fall.
Instead of sending its 9 p.m. staple, The O.C., into battle against CSI and Grey's Anatomy every week, the network announced Wednesday that it has ordered up a mere 16 episodes of the rich-kid drama for 2006-07.
If the network airs all 16 new episodes in a row, it will be out of O.C. by February, giving Fox the opportunity to take a midseason replacement for a test drive, Variety reported Wednesday.
FOX's "strategy" has me puzzled in general. They just picked up the actors' options on two pilots that they didn't order in May. But, I guess, now they're thinking that maybe they want to order them after all. Then again, maybe not. We'll have to check back with them in September.
Kristen ? Can this be the RS - SN thread? I did not watch last night. I find tonight painful.
I kinda thought it was already. (hee) Though, now that TWoP has gifted us with shiny new forums (recaps!), I ended up posting my thoughts there.
In only slightly related news, I am listening to the new JT song and OMIGOD why do I like it so much? I'm having LILY flashbacks.
I want to go out dancing right the fuck now.
msbelle! Can you believe that
Matt chose that song?!!!
And seriously, he was the
best singer of the three but
could you be more
wrong-headed?
And uh, I can't decide of the other two who was more underwhelming.
sumi, I agree that
Matt was completely wrong-headed.
Of the other two? My vote is
Phil for being more boring. But Chris's Roxanne hurt me
yesterday.
Well, could you believe that
the band SuperWrongva praised Phil's singing tonight??!!! WTF are they listening to?
No, I find
Chris far more boring. Although, he looks better with curlier hair. And I so wanted to root for Matt given that he's a Chicago boy. Also, Phil did make that joke about punching Lukas --
got to like that.
I wished they would have just cleaned house and made all three leave. Really.
I still don't understand the
Duran Duran choice. I mean, you're dealing with musicians from Motley Crue, Metallica and Guns 'n Roses and you choose Duran Duran???
Yeah,
he was an idiot.
Okay, for now I still think that
Dilana is the right choice. You know. . . after hearing her perform one whole song.
Hee!
Dilana's my fav so far. Storm reminds me Lindsey Lohan and annoys me. Lukas seems too much like a Cure wannabe.
