Quick Takes

Quick takes…

CBS has renamed its upcoming Jenna Elfman Show. The sitcom’s new title is Courting Alex. Alex debuts on January 23.


Commander in Chief fans, take note: if you miss an episode or if you forgot to TiVo/DVR it, then you’re now in luck: Chief will now be available for download from iTunes. Episodes will be priced at just $1.99 each; these new episodes will be available for download the day after they’re initially telecast on ABC.


It looks as if American Idol will be making a few appearances on Thursdays after all. Fox has just announced its full-season Idol scheduling plans, and they include several results shows in the Thursday at 8 slot.


Say it ain’t so: the proposed Al Sharpton sitcom, Al in the Family, looks to be a no-go after all. This news is proof-positive that every once in a while, wisdom does prevail at the networks.


Looking for something a little non-traditional to do on Christmas day? If so, then you may want to tune into GSN, beginning at noon on Christmas day. The self-proclaimed “network for games” will be featuring a marathon of Betty White’s most memorable game-show appearances (including appearances on Password, Match Game, Tattletales, and more). C’mon – it’s Betty White – you have to watch!

And finally...



Bad-TV-on-DVD announcements of the week: in 2006, bad-TV fans can look forward to the DVD releases of both Mama’s Family (which featured in its first season the aforementioned Betty White) and Alice.
