Here is ABC's schedule for next season: http://www.fancast.com/blogs/2010/tv-news/abcs-fall-schedule-adds-one-super-family-other-crimefighters/

Speaking of TV hero shows, here is a trailer and a script review for The Cape: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/05/18/nbcs-the-cape-trailer-and-script-review/

Charlie Sheen has signed on for two more years on Two and a Half Men. Haven't watched it, not planning on watching it....

It seems we're getting a spin-off of Criminal Minds. Remember when Forrest Whitaker showed up? Yeah. That guy and his team: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45132

Mark Hamill is set to direct an adaptation of his comic "The Black Pearl." I haven't read it but I'm interested.

Wizard has announced that rather than go head to head with other shows in New York, New England and New Jersey, they will be rescheduling their planned Northeastern conventions. Nice to see the local guys winning out there.

Eddie Murphy is writing a 3rd Nuty Professor script... And on a similar note, someone is doing a Lost Boys 3.

It looks like the price of DC comics are going up for 22 pages. And as that happens, I'm going to trim my list and get mroe stuff in trades. $3.99 for one issue or $20 for a six issue trade becomes no contest pretty quickly, even if I have to wait. And trades often have extra stuff in them, too.

Se7en will hit Blu-ray on September 14. I don't really need to see that in extra sharp detail but the commentary tracks might be interesting.

Someone decided that a new Gidget was a good idea. So... that's on the fast track to happening.

Looks like Terrence Howard isn't done with Marvel movies after all. He's talking to them about something - rumors are that it is Luke Cage. Which... I just don't see at all but hey...

From THR: Alvin Sargent, who has worked on every Spidey movie until now, has been brought in to polish up the script. Usually he comes in to add more emotional heft to the important scenes. So, we'll have heart strings a tugged.

So you have the biggest recession in decades causing a time of no inflation or wage growth, so a luxury product aimed at the lower and middle classes that has been having sales problems for years decides that NOW is the time to raise prices?

Well, originally, it had been those increased prices would be for titles with back up features only or something with extra pages or... something additional for the money. Now it looks like average books are being solicited at those prices for August.
