Proving that there’s no such thing as a sure thing in television, NBC has just pulled the plug on Undercovers, the JJ Abrams-produced spy drama that debuted this season and was seen by many to be the show that would finally put Chuck out of its misery (Chuck, meanwhile, has been given a full season [...]
It’s official: Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have started writing the sequel to last year’s “Wow, it’s actually good, isn’t it? I didn’t see that coming” Star Trek. TrekMovie.com confirmed yesterday that Orci’s tweet tease over the weekend wasn’t a big fake-out, which means that we’re just months away from people claiming to have intimate [...]
Undercovers may have underperformed for NBC in its debut last night, but that doesn’t mean that they’re not ready to give JJ Abrams some more screentime; the peacock network has beaten out other networks – including Lost home, ABC – to snap up the rights to the much-buzzed-about new comedy drama reteaming Michael Emerson and [...]

Welcome to what may be the most popular panel at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego: The LA Times is reporting a rumor that Entertainment Weekly has managed to pair JJ Abrams and Joss Whedon for a spotlight panel at this year’s convention.
There are plenty of new sci-fi series coming soon to prime-time TV – including the new series The Cape that doesn’t quite impress Grame – and most of them have now gone public with trailers, trying to convince all of us (as well as all advertisers)l that they will be the next big thing.
