This is entertainment?
News from the Miami Herald is that FOX is set to cancel a whole bunch of "seasoned" comedies.
Malcolm in the Middle and That '70s Show, a pair of sitcoms with 15 seasons between them, will leave the air after their season finales in mid-May, Fox programming chief Peter Liguori said.
...
Two other sitcoms, the animated King of the Hill and The Bernie Mac Show, are also in jeopardy of cancellation, Liguori said, and added that ''it is highly unlikely'' that the comedy Arrested Development will return to the network after the final four episodes of the season air in February.
Wow. So FOX's comedic lineup now is...um...The Simpsons. Unless, of course, you count American Idol or 24. (Note: yes, yes, that was a joke - I do know that Family Guy and American Dad are still on, and yes, they are hilarious)
In music news, some aging "rock" band has a tremendous tour rider. Of more interest is the ongoing rumor that the Smashing Pumpkins are to reunite. Now that would be something special. I'd most definitely buy one of their tour t-shirts.
