7/13: Bits for the weekend
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
TVNewser reports that former CNN Headline News anchor Rudi Bakhtiar has not had her conract renewed after 18 months at Fox News. Bakhtiar had quite a cult following in the past.
Lifetime’s “Army Wives,” which includes several Atlanta actors in secondary roles, got a nod for a second season, not a surprise given how strong its first six episodes have performed. It is easily Lifetime’s biggest show ever, averaging more 3.6 million viewers each Monday.
For fans of “Grey’s Anatomy,” TV Guide reports that the George/Izzie fling is dead in the water after 95% of fans in a focus group rejected it. Who knew that focus groups wielded so much power? In this case, this is a good thing.
And for the handful of you who cared about Fox’s “Drive,” the show’s final two episodes will go online Monday rather than air on Fox itself.
And here’s a fake story about watching too little TV being bad for your ability to make cogent pop-culture observations, courtesy of the Onion.. Yet it is so true, so true.
