Friday Free-For-All: August 11, 2006

It’s Friday, so it’s time for another free-for-all—your chance to get something TV-related off your chest.

I thought I would also use this to share some things with you that I couldn’t fit into any of the other posts, so here goes:

Ray Romano is plotting his return to television with HBO. It would be a limited series in which he would play a man who finds out he only has a short time to live. He’s developing the show with Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, the brilliant minds behind—are you ready for this?—“24.” Shouldn’t they be worrying about something like, oh I don’t know, season six?! And the movie?! And a comedy? Seriously?!

Just when you thought we had maxed out with reality shows, here comes another one. NBC will unleash “You’re the One That We Want,” a competition to find the next Sandy and Danny for the new Broadway production of “Grease.” It is scheduled for a mid-season premiere.

Now it’s your turn. What do you want to discuss this week?

By the way, you can now check out my answers to this week’s Question of the Week in that post’s comments section.
