Candice Bergen, Charles Lisanby, Don Pardo, Gene Roddenberry, Tom
and Dick Smothers and Bob Stewart have been selected as the
next inductees into the Television Academy's Hall of Fame.
They will be honored at a Jan. 20 ceremony at the Beverly Hills
Hotel.
"This year's inductees have challenged and shaped popular culture,
changed television for the better and entertained us
royally while doing so," TV Academy Chairman-CEO John Shaffner said.
The inductees were selected by a Hall of Fame selection committee
from submissions from TV Academy members and industry
representatives.
Top syndication and reality agent, WME partner Mark Itkin, chaired
the committee, which included ABC TV Group president Anne
Sweeney, Fox's president of alternative entertainment Mike Darnell,
MTV, VH1, CMT and Logo president of programming Brian
Graden, TV producer/director Lee Miller and production designer and
president of the art directors guild Thomas Walsh.
"These individuals have each made extraordinary and lasting
contributions that have meant so much to multiple generations of
television viewers," Itkin said. "Their work will endure for decades
to come."
Miller will produce the Hall of Fame Gala with Kevin Hamburger.
Question: Word on the street is that Julie Bowen might be returning
to Lost. Can you confirm? Deny? Cryptic statement of ambiguity? —Lelia
Ausiello: Bowen tackles that exact question in the
latest episode of Ausiello TV.
According to TV Guide, Boston Legal is "on the bubble" (meaning it
is in danger of being canceled).
From tvguide.com:
Following the other networks' announcements of their upcoming spring
schedules, ABC has finally unveiled its plans for the post-strike
return of its shows. Boston Legal will return April 8.
The ION Television network has inked a deal to air Boston Legal
repeats on weeknights this fall....
ABC has booked "Primetime: What Would You Do?" for Tuesdays at
10:00/9:00c starting February 26. The five-week series takes over
for "Boston Legal," which completes its pre-strike run on February
19. Then on Tuesday, April 1 at 10:00/9:00c, look for the Barbara
Walters special "Live to Be 150... Can You Do It?" to fill the hour.
It's not clear what will assume the Sunday, 10:00/9:00c and Tuesday,
10:00/9:00c slots once the aforementioned runs complete.
BL plans to resume production, if the WGA strike comes to a
resolution at their meeting the weekend of February 9. Boston Legal
could resume production as early as February 20, according to a
source on the set. A back-breaking schedule could finish the
remaining episodes, although possibly fewer than the normal eight
remaining. New episodes could be ready to broadcast by April 8.
