TwitterQuick TV Fix: Scoop on 'Moonlight,' 'Bones,' 'Brothers & Sisters,' 'Mad Men' n More
Who else has the post-Holiday weekend blues? Hold off on the Prozac. Perhaps we can we cheer ourselves up with a small dose of TV scoop on Moonlight, Bones, Dexter, Brothers & Sisters, Mad Men and Rescue Me...
Moonlight Vigil: Alex O'Loughlin (photo, right) enthusiasts tell me this weekend's MoonlightCon, held here in L.A., was a great success. Die hard fans were more than pleased to welcome Harry Werksman, one of the show's co-executive producers, who said that the Sci-Fi channel is indeed interested in picking Moonlight up. However, talks are still ongoing, and nothing has been determined as of yet. In the meantime, the Moonlight army marches on: Their Saturday auction earned $6,500 for the Los Angeles food bank. Sunday's blood drive sucked in 50 pints of the red stuff and added 37
people to the National Bone Marrow Transplant Program registry.
It's Showtime: The third season of Dexter will begin shooting shortly, so new fans of the series -- who fell in love with it on CBS earlier this year -- have more than a few months to catch up on season two in the meantime. However, adding Showtime to their cable package (or shelling out cash for the DVDs) is probably going to be a must. Reps at the Eye net tell me CBS has no plans to air Dexter season two or three at this time. Their offering of the first season was simply a freebie during the writer's strike, designed to draw viewers into the pay cable show. FYI, the second season will be available on DVD in mid-August.
Boning?: A little birdie tells me that Bones creator Hart Hanson
has concrete plans for us to see Booth and Brennan "in bed together"
next season. However, what Mr. Hanson means to imply by "in bed
together" is still a bit of a mystery.
Brother Replaces Sister?: Word is Brothers & Sisters'
Kitty will step down from her position on McCallister's staff this Fall
in favor of publishing a book and concentrating on the couple's
adoption process. However, there may still be a very vocal Walker
influence on Robert's team. I'm hearing whispers of the Senator
offering Kevin a major opportunity. 
Mad Women: Sexy Joan may have some competition in season two. Sources tell me a 22-year-old named Jane, who bares quite a resemblance to Joan (just younger), will join the show this year. Hey, jealousy!
Rescue Him: Crazy Tommy, who's been running into burning buildings dressed as his dead cousin? He will be caught early in the Rescue Me season, and brought up on charges. But I wouldn't count on the FDNY being in a big hurry to get rid of Mr. Gavin. More RM scoop? Mike, Garrity and Franco will buy a bar this year and attempt to run it together. Also, the writer profiling the crew for a 9-11 retrospective this season will be a sexy, French chick who Lou falls in love with, while Tommy gives her a seriously hard time.Are there other shows you want info on?

Any word yet on who might be cast as Ryan, the Walkers' long-lost bro? I know some people are campaigning for Gregory Smith, but I can't help but feel that would be too weird. Not to mention retread-ish.
Ryan hasn't been cast, but my sense is that the Greg Smith campaign ain't going anywhere. No one loves Ephram Brown more than me, but I agree, TOO WEIRD.
That's great news about Moonlight!! I do hope that the SciFi channel picks it up. They won't regret it!
No offense Korbi, but your blog is kind of a scam.
When you claim to offer "scoops, spoilers and breaking news" it would be nice if you actually did some of that. Instead you merely aggregate "scoops, spoilers and breaking news" that have already been scooped, spolied and broken by other websites and trade papers. Not cool.
It would also be nice to credit the original source of the information you re-write and re-report. That way the people with genuine industry connections and true journalistic credentials could get a little love for their hard work.
It's obvious you are a TV fan but anyone can scan the trades and gossip rags and do what you do. That doesn't make it right.
Wow, Thanks for posting about Moonlight! We, the fans, appreciate it. This show definitely deserves a 2nd season and I hope SciFi has the foresight to see what a great idea it would be to pick it up. I'm sure they would be happy when 8 million fans followed!
Holy crap, Ron, do you have a few issues going on there or what? How do you know Korbi isn't getting her info from the same place as the "people with genuine industry connections and true journalistic credentials"? Plus is you're so disgusted by her blog, why are you reading it? Go away, Ron, and leave the comments section for the rest of us who enjoy Korbi's blog.
Korbi, I for one, thank you for all the information you provide. I know I don't have to scan all "the trades and gossip rags" because I can get all of the accurate info I want right here.
Exactly what stuff are you talking about, Ron? All this stuff is news to me. That's why I've added Korbi to my regular rotation with Ausiello.
Korbi, I too would like the news on the new Walker sib whenever you get it (I'm still kind of hoping for a sister named Ryan - it's become a non-specific name gender-wise as of late and they did think the original baby pic was a girl - Rebecca. So why not? But, if we're casting a brother, I'm hoping for Ryan Sypek!
Moonlight fans are still fighting for their show, that's great news! I hope they will get what they want and we'll see another season of Moonlight!
Thanks for mentioning Moonlight. I really hope that another network can cash in on CBS's mistake.
