Survivor 44 cast revealed and Survivor is also renewed for two more seasons

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 11

Survivor is one of the longest-running reality shows. The long-lasting non-scripted reality competition has been around for 44 Seasons for over two decades. It is fascinating that we now have contestants who are younger than the show itself. In one week the new season, Survivor 44 will be on TV. You can also watch it on Paramount+. While you are waiting, You can find the contestants to root for as the profile videos of each contestant are now uploaded online. Survivor 44 Cast Reveal Survivor fans will be watching this new Season this March 1.The show’s renewal for 2 more seasons is giving people something to hype about even before it airs. It is one of CBS’ flagship Reality shows along with Big Brother and The Amazing Race. Something I really wish to happen is for the returning player seasons to become a separate show from regular opes. Just like how Drag Race made All-Stars a separate show. I don’t like the recent changes of the show but I still

Nexstar Acquires The CW, Confirms Plans To Kill Its Appeal

Nexstar Acquires The CW, Confirms Plans To Kill Its Appeal

, , , , 5

We knew it was coming, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less: Warner Bros and Paramount confirmed the plan to sell off their jointly-owned broadcast network The CW to nationwide station owner Nexstar is a go. Nexstar will take 75 percent ownership of the network, while WB and CBS will take 12.5% shares each, allowing them to continue producing original scripted content for the thing, though not nearly as much. CEO Mark Pedowitz will remain in his position as head of CW for now. But he’ll REALLY answer to Nexstar CEO Perry Sook, who loves saying the word “operational” a lot: “Our acquisition of The CW is strategically and operationally compelling, as it will enable us to leverage our operational experience to improve the network’s performance through our management of this powerful national platform. We plan to apply the same strict financial standards to operating The CW as we apply to our other businesses.” Translation: the network will shift from targeting the youth market, who doesn’t really watch broadcast

The CW Could Be Sold Off? Yikes

The CW Could Be Sold Off? Yikes

A bomb was dropped by The Wall Street Journal this morning when it reported WB and CBSViacom, the joint owners of The CW, are thinking of selling off the network. The recipient would most likely be Nexstar, a Texas-based company that already owns most of The CW’s affiliate stations across the US. Nexstar could then do with the network what it wished. As for a possible motive behind this sudden decision….uh, you’re not gonna like it. The network has had trouble turning a profit ever since they decided to stop making deals with Netflix and foreign markets to license their shows out to other streamers. WB is instead keeping its new shows completely for itself and hoarding them on HBO Max. A lot of us felt this was a bad idea for The CW and we were right. The loss of that revenue is now showing up on the ledgers and making them think “sell,” even though it’s entirely a mess of their own making. The CW is the one

Viacom And CBS Announce Huge Streaming Project

Viacom And CBS Announce Huge Streaming Project

You may have heard that, recently, CBS and its former parent company Viacom got back together after their ugly 2000s divorce. What made them believe they could make a second go at coupleship? Perhaps it’s the whole “streaming wars” thing. The newly reformed ViacomCBS, as one of its first announcements, says it is looking into pooling all its properties — CBS, Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon, BET, MTV, Comedy Central, and even that free PlutoTV thing, which you didn’t know was a Viacom property until now — into one mega monolith that they can charge mega moolah for. They’re calling it a “‘House of Brands’ product,” but they’ll probably come up with a better name. You might be thinking, “Isn’t CBS All Access their entry in the streaming wars? And isn’t it doing fine?” CBS All Access was how small-time CBS did business. ViacomCBS bulks up to giant size, and kicks stuff around like Godzilla on Ghidora. It’s a new ballgame! However, getting the family solidly together is going to be a

A Star Trek Animated Comedy? Make It So

A Star Trek Animated Comedy? Make It So

CBS has been a bit more daring with the content of its All Access streaming service — although it’s still stodgy ol’ CBS, so not TOO daring. At least they’re willing to monkey around with their valuable Star Trek brand to the point where they’d approve something like this. Its name is “Lower Decks,” and it’s the second-ever Star Trek cartoon (the first aired on NBC in 1973, and was a straight adaption of the Kirk series with the original stars supplying their voices). This cartoon, however, won’t be following a hotshot starship captain….instead, it’ll focus on the lives behind the scenes, the unsung nobodies who keep everything running. Mike McMahan, who previously wrote for Rick & Morty, pitched the show to CBS execs with this line: “I want to do a show about the people who put the yellow cartridge in the food replicator so a banana can come out the other end.” Producer Alex Kurtzman couldn’t be happier about McMahan’s credentials. “His cat’s name is Riker. His son’s

Logic Demands We Show You The Next Spock

Logic Demands We Show You The Next Spock

Dr. Spock is arguably the most iconic Star Trek character of all time, with his pointy ears, Sam Donaldson eyebrows, and biological devotion to cold rationality. The Vulcan’s shoes aren’t easy to fill, especially considering how synonymous Leonard Nimoy was in the role. So much so that when a replacement Spock was finally cast — Zachary Quinto in JJ Abrams’ rebooted cinematic Trek universe — the original Spock appeared anyway, explained as a dimension-hopping accident. Nimoy would get to play his most famous character two more times before ascending to Vulcan Heaven, finally necessitating the recasting of another Spock. Today Paramount and CBS announced Spock #3 has at last been chosen. This Spock is meant to appear on Star Trek Discovery, which takes place before the original series, so he’ll have to be younger. Enter Ethan Peck, grandson of Gregory Peck. “Who?” you might say, even after we explained his lineage. Yeah, he hasn’t had a fruitful acting career so far. he was in the “10 Things I Hate About

Charmed Getting HD Remaster

Charmed Getting HD Remaster

, , , , , 0

Now that there’s a new Charmed on the way, the original show is getting a fresh coat of paint. CBS Paramount, owners of the series, have announced they’re in the process of converting the original film negatives to HD….a project, I’m assuming, mainly exists so we can finally see THIS in high definition: The weird thing about this announcement is that it only confirms the HD remaster and not how it will be distributed. Imagine a Blu-Ray reissue of the Book of Shadows package, this time less prone to scratches because Blu-Ray is more durable. Wouldn’t that be keen? But there’s no mention of Blu-Ray or anything else. If you’ve ever watched a rebroadcast of a 60s or 70s TV show, you may have noticed some of them are now in HD widescreen. Any old show shot on film can be rescanned this way. But not all of those shows have had their HD remasters pressed onto discs, and some of them aren’t even available to purchase digitally. In some

Star Trek Discovery Has A Solid Release Date

Star Trek Discovery Has A Solid Release Date

CBS’s Star Trek Discovery has been hit with repeated delays. If the original schedule had stayed on track, we would have seen the first episode six months ago, but for unclear reasons, the premiere date was pushed to May and then to the ambiguous “fall.” It’s ambiguous no longer: today CBS came out with a solid release date that we don’t expect them to change this time. The voyage begins Sunday, September 24. As originally planned, the first episode of Star Trek Discovery will air on the network itself. It’ll air from 8:30 to 9:30 PM, and immediately following, both the first and second episodes will go live on CBS All Access, the streaming service where the remainder of the first season will call its home. You won’t get all the episodes at once. There will be a new episode each Sunday until November 5, at which point Discovery will take some time off until January 2018. Reportedly the break is to allow for post-production to be completed on the

First Full Trailer For Star Trek Discovery Is Discovered

First Full Trailer For Star Trek Discovery Is Discovered

, , , , 0

During CBS’s Upfront presentation this week, one of the big reveals was the first actual look anyone’s gotten at the long-in-development Star Trek Discovery, aka the first attempt in years to revitalize the Trek brand on the small screen. It takes place ten years before the events of the original series and stars The Walking Dead’s Sonequa Martin-Green. CBS was gracious enough to put the trailer that the press saw online. It’s getting mixed reactions. See what you think…. Did you like it? And if you do, did you like it enough to pay for it? Because that’s what CBS wants you to do; Discovery will be part of their CBS All Access streaming service. Only the pilot episode will air on the network. There will also be an aftershow available called — what else — Talking Trek. Personally, I don’t think aftershows really work unless they air on TV, right after a new episode. In this instance you could watch the NEXT new episode or you could watch people

Star Trek Discovery Delayed Yet Again

Star Trek Discovery Delayed Yet Again

CBS, as far as we know, is developing a new Star Trek series — the first since the franchise exited television back in the early 2000’s. But it’s anyone’s guess when we’ll actually get to see this alleged Star Trek Discovery, the first original program for the CBS All Access streaming service. Originally the show was to already have debuted — a January 2017 release date was on the original schedule. That date was changed to May 2017, then two months ago it slid down to “sometime this fall.” Now CBS Interactive president Marc DeBevoise says he’s given up on determining when Star Trek Discovery will be ready. As he told Vulture, “It’s going great, I’ve actually been up there [to the set]. It is, you know, phenomenal. It is huge. And we’re very excited about the content, the creators, the actors, all coming together. As you said, we’re not tied to any specific release date. It’ll be there when we’re ready to do it, and when we feel it’s

Star Trek Discovery Enters Production

Star Trek Discovery Enters Production

As of today, Star Trek is officially back as a TV property! The production crew released this video to YouTube showing off the set of Star Trek Discovery, the latest in a long line of Trek-programs that has been dormant for over a decade. The show was originally announced for a May 2017 debut, but because of this late start, it won’t be showing up until sometime later (date yet to be determined). Set ten years before the Shatner original, Discovery will star Sonequa Martin-Green, James Frain, Michelle Yeoh, Anthony Rapp and Doug Jones. Unfortunately this is not a program that will be running on anything the majority of you readers are currently subscribed to. Star Trek Discovery will belong exclusively to CBS All Access, the offshoot streaming channel of a network that mostly airs content aimed at Middle America. There is not much on All Access besides Star Trek Discovery that a Pop Geek would care about, and it may not be worth the cost for most. If the

Supergirl Showrunner Doesn’t Believe Flash Will Come To The Show

Supergirl Showrunner Doesn’t Believe Flash Will Come To The Show

First impressions are important, but that doesn’t mean it’s always what it seems. Supergirl rocked the world by getting the highest ratings for any superhero show on any network when it debuted on CBS in October. However, the rating have been dipping ever since, some would say to very dangerous levels. Now, while the show has been given a full season order, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be renewed for a second season. In fact, quite infamously, CBS once gave a full season order to a “#1 New Show” called Vegas, but then ended the series after the season was done. Many are wondering if the ratings don’t pick up, if Supergirl will be cancelled. Due to this worry no doubt, many starting spreading rumors that the Flash, who is currently on the CW in his own show, would crossover with Supergirl in an attempt to boost ratings. Not unlike what recently happened with the annual Arrow/Flash crossover. In a conversation with ComicBook.com, Flash and Supergirl Showrunner Andrew Kriesberg said
