Here is something that I am glad that I heard about. There is a book coming out on October 16th called Season Finale: The Unexpected Rise and Fall of the WB and UPN. The show has stories from Suzanne Daniels, who was an executive at the WB, and Cynthia Littleton, from Variety. They will cover the ups and downs of both networks. It’s no secret that I was a huge WB fan back in the day and spent many nights watching shows on that network. With UPN, I just never was really into many of their shows. I could probably count on one hand how many shows I watched on UPN and two of them were former WB shows heading over to UPN including Buffy and Roswell. This could be a very interesting book that will hopefully have many questions answered including various decisions on shows and many more. I plan on picking this book up and will let you know my thoughts on it when I get it read on down the line.
Carrie Underwood’s new CD, Carnival Ride, hits stores Tuesday, October 23rd. Her new video for So Small has been doing very well over at CMT.
Being released on Tuesday is the Transformers movie DVD. Be sure to check advertisements for different stores to decide on where you want to get it from cause various stores are offering different exclusives with your purchase. There are also different versions of the movie being released. Be sure to research around on what version that you want as well.
On to tonight’s Smallville. I like that they have Clark playing the Jonathan Kent role in the family with Kara. He is looking out for her best interest like Jonathan did with him. I haven’t been much of a Clark/Lana couple fan lately but I did enjoy their reunion tonight. Lex has found Kara and is talking to her about saving his life. So, he is now on to Kara’s mystery as he has been with Clark. Jimmy has returned and there is a spark between him and Kara. So, Chloe is on the outs with him probably and also is taking a backseat to Lois at the paper. What is up with Chloe’s luck?? Previews for next week show that Chloe is going to be looking for a cure from a doctor. The doctor is played by someone who has some Superman history, Dean Cain.

The new season of Little People Big World premieres on Monday night on TLC. This is a show that I really like but unfortunately don’t get to watch it like I would like to. The family is extremely likable and it’s a fun show to watch.
Seth Green is set to guest star this season on Grey’s Anatomy.
The previews for next week’s Survivor shows a “twist” coming. However on tonight’s episode we saw Dave go home after continuing to clash with his tribe over the entire season. I actually thought he was going to be voted out a few episodes ago. He worked hard at camp but his style seemed to turn people off. He was interesting TV for this early part of the season of the show.
If you’re looking to get started on Heroes, G4 may be your destination. G4 is going to start airing Heroes episodes soon including airing the current week’s episode on the same week that it airs on NBC. G4 is also going to run some marathons on October 27th and 28th of season one.

Ratings on the new shows continue to be interesting to follow. Cavemen had its second episode this week and was said to have lost 2.2 million viewers from the series premiere last week. Carpoolers also had a decrease in viewers in its second episode. It is pretty normal for shows to drop off from their premiere to their second episode but you never want the drop off to be big.
Ok, I’ve gotten hooked on to Kid Nation. This is an addictive little show. It’s been interesting to say the least. I haven’t gotten to watch this week’s episode so I can’t comment on anything else that has happened. I’ve been impressed with what they are able to do with running this town. That council keeps taking a ton of heat but it’s a lesson to be learned that you can’t please everyone. There are very likable kids on there and then others that are not so much. LOL. I like Sophia and would be curious to see how she would handle things with being on the council. I’m pretty happy with the council for the most part. Some of them have been taking some heat and I don’t know if it is even possible to overthrow a council member to be replaced. Watch that have happened this week and I’ll feel like a moron. LOL. It was nice to see Mallory get that gold star last week. She seems like an extremely good kid and you can tell that her parents have done a good job in raising her. For 8 years old, she is very level headed.
