US TV Shows - Discussion (Inc New Shows/Cancellations)

Here's a couple pics with the new actor from season two of spartacus:

I understand the circumstances for why the original actor can't continue in Spartacus, but he was so perfect for the role, will be hard to imagine this new guy fulfilling the part! Hopefully I'm wrong, because so far, the show has been utterly brilliant. I love anything based in Roman times etc

i hope they keep the same style and atmosphere in season 2 they created in season 1. i hope the new guy plays spartacus in his own and try not to copy the season 1 guy.

That's true, very important he acts his own way.

The style will I'm sure not change, but the atmosphere might, as the setting is totally different. It won't have anything to do with gladiators anymore, more of a war type scenario. Before anyone says these are spoilers, it's history, the plot is already mapped out!

I like the fact that Andy actually approved of his replacement publicly, top bloke, get well soon.
It's a real shame that he isn't well enough to continue, but I think it'll be fine, maybe a bit weird for a couple of episodes.

liam mcintyre (new spartacus) face is similar to Andy (old spartacus).

the season is called spartacus: vengence. from the ending of the 1st season spartacus helps Crixus to find his lover and gather other gladiators around italy. winter 2012 is when its going to be aired.

starz are producing 4 new shows boss (kelsy grammer), the magic city (jeffrey dean morgan aka john winchester, the comdian in The Watchmen), nior (live action show based on a japanese anime), the brink. looks like starz are going to be one of the big players in cable tv.

harlie Sheen pilots new US TV role in Anger Management
Page last updated at 09:31 GMT, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 10:31 UKCharlie Sheen was sacked from US TV series Two and a Half Men in March
Charlie Sheen could be returning to the small screen four months after being sacked from Two and a Half Men.

The actor has a part in a pilot for Anger Management, a series based on the 2003 Hollywood film of the same name.

He said: "I chose it because, while it might be a big stretch for me to play a guy with serious anger management issues, I think it is a great concept."

Sheen was fired from Two and a Half Men in March after a string of rants about the show's producers.

Production of the show was suspended in January after the actor entered rehabilitation for reported drug and alcohol abuse.

With no network currently in place, Anger Management will be produced by Lionsgate Television with Sheen retaining an ownership stake in the TV show.

No additional cast members or production start date have been announced.

'Creative control'
The 45-year-old actor said he thought Anger Management, originally starring Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson, would suit his talents and ambitions.

"It provides me with real ownership in the series, a certain amount of creative control and the chance to be back in business with one of my favourite movie producers of all time, Joe Roth," he said.

The 45-year-old star is suing Warner Brothers studios for $100 million (£62m) claiming a breach of contract after Two and a Half Men was cancelled for the rest of the season.

In May the show's producers announced Ashton Kutcher as Sheen's replacement for a ninth season, due to be broadcast later this year.

After his sacking, Charlie Sheen went on tour of the US with a live comedy tour called My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option.

Two and a Half Men was launched in 2003 and has been nominated for numerous awards, including Emmys and Golden Globes.

Sheen was America's highest earning TV actor making a reported $2m (£1.2m) per episode of the show.

nbc exec. are abit stupid in not picking up wonder woman, Adrianne Palicki looks good as wonder woman.

Good news for south park fans, the show has been renewed up to 2013!
