5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT HAPPENED TO TV THIS WEEK

5. FOX Changes Up Network and Programming
Fox has decided to cancel "Prison Break" which just recently aired an episode written by an alum of Cal State Fullerton. Now, I have never seen the show but the premise never seemed like it would be a Law & Order/ CSI type show with multiple spinoffs like " Prison Break: Special Fugitives Unit" or "Prison Break: North Dakota." Also "House" has moved to Monday Night's as a lead in for "24", I like "House" but never get around to watching it. "24" has returned to Fox after a long delay due to the "writer's strike" and "Kiefer Sutherland's D.U.I."

4. After 4 mystery filled seasons "Lost" is back one week from tonight. Hopefully it will answer some questions that need answering. What happened to the people still on the island? Where the hell did the Claire go? How does Ben transport? And can someone finally tell me what that "Black Smoke" is? If you haven't seen the show I would suggest renting it on Netflix or watching it online. The show is very clever and never seizes to amaze it's viewers.  Here's a teaser for Wednesday's Season 5 Premiere.

 

3. The "Arrested (Greatest Show Ever Written) Development" Movie
 is that much closer to becoming a reality. Once Michael Cera agrees, the wheels will be in motion and fans can rejoice at the sight of Will Arnett's GOB finalizing his greatest illusion. (If you look close you can see Phylis from "The Office" sitting next to Michael. 



2. "How I Met Your Mother" star Neil Patrick Harris hosted SNL last Saturday and performed an ode to his Doogie Howser days. Neil Patrick Harris is one of the most underrated actors on television today. His portrayal of Barney on "HIMYM" is one of the funniest characters since "Kramer" or "Dwight." 



1. FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS IS BACK FOR SEASON 2

After a great first season the show has finally come back to HBO after a 15 month hiatus. 
The show is very well crafted with a mixture of dry humor and hilarious songs. Here's a clip from season 1 to give you a little taste of Jermaine and Bret.
