"America's Got Talent" Trailer

With the departure of Piers Morgan who wants to concentrate on his CNN talk show there was an empty spot on the "America's Got Talent" desk which has been filled by radio shock jock Howard Stern. Whatever you say about Howard Stern he is a smart guy and this season with him as host could be interesting and a nice addition to the judges table. I guess we will have to wait until May 14th when the wacky talent show "America's Got Talent" returns to NBC to judge the king of all medias judging skills.

"House" To End After Current Season

After eight seasons of the hit drama "House" on FOX the producers have decided that it will come to an end after the current season of the show. The show will end in April after 177 episodes which is a good run for any drama especially in the current tough television market. "House" has always been one of the best written shows on television and  the great acting of Hugh Laurie as Dr Gregory House made the show a fan favorite. It has seemed in the last couple of seasons that the writers were straining to get new ideas for House so its most likely the best thing for the show is to leave the air at a high note.

"World News America" Heads To PBS

"World News America" is the nightly BBC news show that is based in the United States with anchors Matt Frei and often by BBC Washington correspondent Katty Kay. The show covers American news stories and shows a lot more international news than the nightly news shows on the networks. Up until now the show has been shown in the United States on BBC America every night as well as the BBC's other channels outside the United States on BBC World News and BBC News Channel but starting Monday the show moves to PBS in the United States. The move may be a good move for BBC America who can now use the timeslots for entertainment shows which may get higher ratings but the jury is out if the move will mean more or less viewers for the show. I hope the show does well as its nice to have an alternative viewpoint to the major networks news shows.
