TV Tidbits: Futurama and Sally Field Return

The FOX animated comedy Futurama is being reborn at cable network Comedy Central.


CBS is sending newly acquired Evening News anchor Katie Couric on a tour around the country to find out what people want to see on the news.

There's mucho controversy over a sex scene involving Denis Leary's character on last week's episode of Rescue Me on F/X.

TV Guide's television guru Michael Auseillo talks about Academy Award winner Sally Field being courted for ABC's fall show Brothers and Sisters to play Calista Flockhart's mother. How the two of them look anything alike, is a mystery to me.

Chris O'Donnell, or how he'll always be known to me, Robin, will be starring in The Company, a new vehicle on TNT. How he'll be in this TNT thing, yet still be McVet on Grey's Anatomy, I really don't know.

Despite winning two Emmys last year, Showtime's Huff never did well in the ratings and the network has decided to axe the Hank Azaria comedy.  Oh well.   When does Weeds start again?

Everyone's favorite Entertainment Weekly writer Michael Slezak weighs in on who doesn't deserve an Emmy this year.  My bet's Teri Hatcher.  Susan was quite possibly the most annoying character on television this past year — well, next to Meredith Grey.

I really need Dom to get off of Entourage. Apparently everyone else does too — except for Vince.  I've always been marginally entertained by this show since the beginning, and Jeremy Piven's enough to make you wanna watch even if you get tired of the four main boys' frat pack antics, but this show's really becoming better and better.
