    Over the years Survivor has often flirted with different themed seasons. The 21st season, Survivor: Nicaragua, will open with a face-off of young vs old tribes. One side has all contestants under the age of 30 and the other side has contestants over the age of 40. As has been the case in the past things can change quickly and it may not necessarily stay that way through the merge. The full cast has been revealed with the recognizable name being former Dallas Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson, which ...

    Earlier today Fox and Ellen DeGeneres announced their mutual split from American Idol despite what was supposed to be a multi-year contract. Apparently DeGeneres found it difficult to criticize singers throughout last season (the ninth) of the show which saw a drop in ratings that came with a weak crop of contestants. Many felt she just parroted the thoughts of the other judges anyway. Her departure now means AI has lost half of the judging panel with the real star of the show Simon Cowell now...

    At the Comic-Con panel for True Blood a new trailer was released looking forward to the second half of the season. Needless to say there are major spoilers involved, and that even applies to anyone that is completely caught up on the series. However it is a a pretty cool look at what is to come with some wild suggestions being made in the footage. Often I find previews for the next episode to give a bit too much away, though sometimes it is misdirection, but I was surprised to see how much was...

    At the Comic-Con panel for Burn Notice it was announced that the USA series will be getting a prequel in the form of a movie. The prequel will focus on Bruce Campbell's character Sam and his military past. I'm a big fan of Burn Notice and really enjoy Campbell's role in it, but it'll be interesting to see whether he can pull off a full movie for the character on its own. Seems like he plays well off the other characters in the show but certainly the potential is there for more....
