Originally posted by RoyBoyCF: I dislike this idea. Airing a show for one week leaves little room for excitement to build up, and watching that many episodes in so little time is not enough in between episodes. Shows that are run daily in syndication are less enjoyable than in their first run because it might actually take a week to really absorb each episode. This is my main problem with marathons and double runs (of the same cycle; different cycles isn't as bad).
I will restate that I think this should only be for Summer repeats, not first run originals.
TV Viewing habbits are changing and this would be one way to keep up with those changes, and still produce decent ratings.
"Get Smart" - Yes, it looks like it will be a fun movie.
"Sex & the City" - a BIG NO Didn't like the show when it was on HBO. It will be interesting to see how well a Premium Pay Channel series will do with a mianstream movie.

are any of you planning to see Sex and the city in movie theaters this friday?
or Get Smart with Steve Carell and the The Rock on June 20th?

And how pointless and annoying it is?

It just occurred to me that the sex scenes will probably be substantially LESS explicit than on the TV show. Which may be a first.

I am a huge fan of the original series--which makes me less likely to go see the movie. I heard about the casting, and thought "Maybe", then saw the promos and thought "Hell no."
I figure Jim Belushi must have some good dirt on somebody important at ABC.
On an unrelated note, Fox continues to get the most bang for its buck with Hell's Kitchen, which has to be the biggest bargain on tv. I think the buffer between its new cycle and the last cycle of Kitchen Nightmares is a good idea. I can see Hell's Kitchen still drawing seven to eight million viewers each week three years from now.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall did a fantastic job of transitioning the CSI franchise to the big screen. Bell can't act a lick, but maybe that is why she was given the role of a CSI actress.

Neither of these will bomb as bad as the Speed Racer transition. Get Smart looks horrible. Steve Carell is starting to look like a one note actor. This film will open big, though. I liked Sex & The City, but really, who cares about 'seeing how it ends'? Seems like a niche market film.
Overall I think FOX and ABC will do the best this summer.

Moment of Truth's demo numbers are really good for a summer show. The viewership numbers are just above average, but maybe it will perk up when people get used to its new timeslot. Hell's Kitchen did very well for FOX.

That's because Hell's Kitchen is one funny show. I never stop laughing when Ramsey talks. Plus this year, they have Matt, who can't cook for his life really. One of my favorite reality shows!

you are completely right. Gordon Ramsey is a F*@king great TV personality. The rest are just F*@king Donkeys.
And how in the workd MATT got on this show is a complete mystery to me. But, this whole group would never be confused with the REAL CHEFS of TOP CHEF.
I just started watching the BBC version of Kitchen Nightmares, so I cant wait to watch the US Version later this summer.
