More 'Benson' This Friday; 'The Office' Game; ABC Notes
While this is good news, fans of The Jeffersons were very pissed yesterday evening at TV Land. TV Land was scheduled to show a two-part episode titled "Florence Did It Different" at 7 and 7:30 p.m. Something very strange happened--they aired part two of that two-part episode at BOTH 7 and 7:30 p.m. Fans on our message board quickly caught that and couldn't believe this. I just hope TV Land knows they made the mistake and hopefully next time around they air part one. Click here to discuss this.
Mobile games are closing the gap to traditional computer games with the launch of a new technology that enables richer mobile experience. NBC's The Office Games has produced a flash-enhanced game for its series of six mini-games, based on Verizon Wireless' new Flash Lite for BREW(TM) technology. The new The Office Games feature cleaner graphics, enhanced sound and quicker relay times and can be played on select Get It Now(R)-enabled phones. Indiagames developed NBC's The Office Games to be played at the office or at home. With shorter play times, Verizon Wireless customers will find the intuitive array of games easy to navigate and simple to play -- perfect for a break, after a stressful meeting or on an awkward phone call. The games feature the well-loved characters from the Emmy(R) Award winning television series participating in a selection of cubical game-play including Wasteketball, Paper-Football (Hateball), Table-Top Golf, Office
Paper War, Chair-Racing and more -- everything Michael Scott would not approve of!
Finally, ABC has announced that Extreme Makeover is off the Friday line-up after just one airing this season. The show did poorly last Friday and will be replaced by encores of Grey's Anatomy starting November 3. This Friday, ABC will air the classic Halloween special It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. ABC also announced that Lost will return from its hiatus on Wednesday, February 7 for 16 straight weeks of new episodes at least. And when The Bachelor: Rome finishes its run, Supernanny will come and take the Monday 9 p.m. slot starting December 4. That's all the changes...for now.
