The writer's strike has ended, so we can finally stop all this pesky socializing with friends and return to our comfortable couch grooves. The networks aren't wasting any time announcing returns, with ABC chiming in today. According to the alphabet network, you can expect Desperate Housewives to return on April 13th with 5 new episodes. Thursday, April 24th will be a big day with the returns of Ugly Betty (5 eps) at 8 and Grey's Anatomy (also 5) at 9.
"But wait!" you may say, "isn't Lost on at 9?" Well, not anymore. To make room for Grey's, the island adventure will slide over an hour to 10. Guess you're either gonna get an hour's less sleep or set the TiVo and try to avoid the water cooler on Friday.
If you were a fan of Pushing Daisies or Private Practice, by the way, not to worry, they'll be back with full seasons in the fall.
In other end of strike news, Saturday Night Live is back on NBC this weekend in style with the return of prodigal daughter Tina Fey hosting and Point princess Carrie Underwood as the musical guest.
A season without scandal? As if!
A new season, another Idolgate. Did you notice during the guys show last night that the math was a little off when they showed the "Top 12" girls? I may have just ten fingers, but I counted only 11 girls on the sidelines. Well apparently there's the small issue of Carly Smithson, who was once signed to a major record label, a no-no if you're claiming to be America's best "undiscovered talent"...she just happened to be the missing girl. Coincidence? I expect that we'll find out tonight.
Sears Portrait Studio it ain't!
So you know when us normal people have kids and we want to send pictures to our friends we actually have to, like, go out and pay to have someone take the pix? Well, not if you're Point diva Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. No siree, not only will magazines trip over each other to pay you, but they'll pay you more money than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes. OK! Magazine is apparently paying the couple...wait for it...six million dollars for the privilege of being the first to feature pictures of their twins.
Universal rolls the dice
Need more proof that Hollywood has run out of ideas? This just in...Universal Studios has signed a six year deal with Hasbro, Inc to make at least four movies based on board games. The first of the flicks should be hitting theaters in 2010 or 2011.
Hey it worked for Clue... might not be that bad.
I'd like to officially go on record suggesting Wilford Brimley for Monopoly's Mr. Moneybags.

Clue is one of my all-time favorite movies.
