The WB Schedule Changes; Pop Culture Podcast

Tuesday, January 31, 2006

The WB Network announced today that the star-studded one-hour romantic comedy Pepper Dennis will headline an exciting mid-season lineup. Pepper Dennis will be joined by controversial mid-season drama The Bedford Diaries and the highly anticipated return of acclaimed drama Everwood. Pepper Dennis, which stars Rebecca Romijn as a television news reporter, will kick off on Tuesday, April 4 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET). The series, which also stars Josh Hopkins and Brooke Burns, will follow Tuesday-night hit comedy, Gilmore Girls, (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET). Regular encores of Pepper Dennis air on Sundays (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET), beginning April 9.
The Bedford Diaries will debut on Wednesday, March 22 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) as the lead-out to One Tree Hill, which returns with original episodes that same night. The Bedford Diaries stars Matthew Modine as the professor of a sex and the human condition seminar at a New York university, along with Milo Ventimiglia and Penn Badgley as two of his students.
Everwood, starring Treat Williams, Gregory Smith and Emily Van Camp, returns with a two-hour episode on Monday, March 20 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET). The family drama then returns to its original Monday time period, following 7th Heaven, on March 27.
Replacing Beauty and the Geek on Thursdays will be Supernatural, beginning March 16 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET). This move should advantage the first-year hit, pairing it with the compatible and über-successful Smallville (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET), which is enjoying its best season ever, both creatively and in the ratings.
Will The Bedford Diaries & Pepper Dennis be battling to get on The CW schedule next fall? We think so. So, if they do very very well, we can expect them on The CW next season.

Podcasts are becoming so popular these days. There is a Podcast now called "Just My Show" and the first guest on that show was sitcom star Harry Anderson (Night Court, Dave's World)! He talks about his television career, living in New Orleans, who he talks to from the cast of Night Court, and his possible appearance on The Surreal Life. Glad to hear Harry is safe after Hurricane Katrina hit. I'm sure they talk about that in the Podcast.
You have two choices for listening to "Just My Show." The first is to simply hit the play button (the arrow) located in the upper right corner of the page and the "current show" page. The other choice is to download an MP3 file to your computer, which will also enable you to listen on your iPod or other MP3 player.
