Thursday Links

Richard Hatch claims he is innocent.

Artie Lange, Howrd Stern’s right hand man on the radio, might be getting a series on FOX. He has signed a development deal for an undisclosed amount, and it could entail anything from a lat night gig to a sitcom.

Heroes has eclipsed Ugly Betty as the highest rated new series. I just don’t get it. I have caught scenes of Heroes in passing, and from what I can tell its melodramatic, aimless storytelling with marginal acting and even worse dialogue. Ugly Betty, on the other hand looked promising, but I have not had a chance to watch, as it goes head-to-head with The Office and Survivor, and my DVR can only record two shows at once.
Another thing on this article, on the highest rated twenty-five shows of the season, I watch three of them, 60 Minutes, Sundy Night Football and Survivor. If you noticed, none of them are scripted dramas or comedies. Apparently this website is for the fringe TV connoisseur.

This guy has not enjoyed Roger Ebert’s guest replacements.

AOL and HBO are planning to launch a comedy web channel. Niiiiccccce.

About Grid Effect

Here at Grid Effect we discuss a morass of television series and recap a select few that are deemed worthy of such attention. We also provide a weekly links post that keeps you informed on all worthwhile topics in the television industry. In short, if you watch Desperate Housewives, American Idol, Grey's Anatomy or Two and A Half Men... this isn't the site for you (451 Press provides other such pages you can link to at the bottom). With a couple exceptions, we try to focus our efforts on the more cerebral qualities of your idiot box.
