Contractually, the net has until June 15 to reach a verdict, and the extra time would allow Rob Thomas to produce an actual script for Veronica in the FBI. That's one scenario. The other scenario is that the show is dead. One thing is certain: VM will not be on the schedule presented to advertisers on Thursday morning.)

Hes not doing porn


OK so I recently wrote a POST wondering what had happened to all the BOY MEETS WORLD kids. I speculated that Ben Savage aka "Cory" was probably doing porn or something because I hadn't seen or heard anything about him since his days at Disney. I'm so happy that my little joke of a spec was wrong!!

Ben Savage (Boy Meets World) is set as Todd in the untitled Sachs/Judah pilot, which revolves around co-workers at a top law firm. Savage will play a new attorney at the firm. The cast also includes Scott Wolf, Ashley Williams and Ayda Field.

I really hope this gets picked up because god know little Cory Mathew's needs a job.

Does this mean double duty for SIX?


Will SIX be on two shows or will she be leaving Battlestar if the pilot gets picked up?

From TVguide

TVGuide.com has learned exclusively that Tricia Helfer has joined the cast of FOX's pilot "Them", about sleeper cells of extraterrestrial terrorists. The Fox pilot is ironically being shepherded by her Battlestar Galactica boss, David Eick, and Helfer joins previously announced cast members James D'Arcy, Rachel Nichols, Ben Feldman and Reg Rogers. Before you start speculating on what this means for BSG's Six, TVGuide.com reports that if Them gets picked up in May, it's entirely possible that Helfer — who will go dark (meaning brunette) for this new gig, which she starts shooting Monday — could do double duty, seeing as Eick is boss at both shows. Helfer on two TV series? That I'm not sure the human race could handle.
