Well, I tried to find a youtube version of the SNL video, but there are a lot of fake or short ones online right now.  So, here is the link to the official SNL video on the official SNL website.  Enjoy:

It’s a totally slow news day so this is al I’ve got. Preacher is action-packed series of graphic novels that follows a possessed Texas preacher on a journey to find God. It’s full of mayhem, drinking, and of course sex. Pretty much all the bad things you can think of. It was supposed to be on HBO and now it seems that idea is gone.

Comics Continuum spoke to Mark Steven Johnson (Ghost Rider, Daredevil), who says that his adaptation of Garth Ennis’ “Preacher” won’t be happening at HBO.”We were budgeting and everything and it was getting really close to going,” Johnson said. “But the new head of HBO felt it was just too dark and too violent and too controversial. Which, of course, is kind of the point!”It was a very faithful adaptation of the first few books, nearly word for word. They offered me the chance to redevelop it but I refused. I’ve learned my lesson on that front and I won’t do it again. So I’m afraid it’s dead at HBO.

The whole idea that HBO would take that stance is surprising. This is the network that had Deadwood. It was full of drinking, murder, sex (with nudity), and of course a record number of “F-bombs” in a one-hour period. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Deadwood and wish it would come back and finish the storylines. Anyway, I guess that’s why I’m suprised at the news on Preacher. What do you think?

Speaking of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (see the recent DVD Releases), here is a few cast photos that I ran across recently. This is good news because it means the new season is pretty close to starting. Enjoy.

It looks like CBS has nothing new to be tossing out so it’s working to rehash some old stuff. They are looking at a Hawaii Five-O remake from Criminal Minds executive producer Ed Bernero.

Bernero is such a big “Hawaii Five-O” fan that he has the iconic theme song from the show as his ringtone. He said he didn’t even hesitate when execs at CBS Par TV, where he has an overall deal, approached him with the idea for a new incarnation of the classic Leonard Freeman cop series.

Bernero is writing the project, which he describes as ” ‘Hawaii Five-O’ 2.0.”

Like the original series, it is a procedural chronicling the workings of the fictional Hawaiian state police department. In the original, the unit was headed by Steve McGarrett, played by Jack Lord. In the new series, McGarrett’s son Chris will be the top cop.

While the characters, storytelling and pacing will be updated, “we will try to keep as much of the original show as possible,” Bernero said. “I’m not trying to reinvent it.”

The famous opening music will be back but may also get a face-lift, much in the vein of the theme from the 1966-73 series “Mission: Impossible,” which was rearranged for the 1990s movie franchise.

As for the staple “Book ‘em, Danno” closing line, there will be a version of it in the new installment, Bernero said.Source

CBS is also looking at a new Streets of San Francisco show and frankly, neither one of these appeal to me. Sure the originals were great, but let get something new going okay people? Speaking of original programming, have you seen USA’s Burn Notice? It’s fantastic.

It’s not like I have a problem with it, but when you’re not expecting it…disabilities can be surprising to some people. Brittan’s Missing Top Model will start next week on BBC and it’s all about finding the hottest disabled model in the world.

‘Britain’s Missing Top Model’ only features models with disabilities from around the world - including one from the U.S.. Among the eight lovely ladies who will duke it out onscreen are women without limbs, some who are partially paralyzed and one who is deaf.

The series, which debuts on BBC in July, reportedly aims to challenge the standard of beauty in the fashion industry.

“I went into this program thinking it was an adventure, rather than a path to a new career,” contestant Jessica Kellgren-Hayes, who often uses a wheelchair to get around, told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper. “Although I don’t want any of my dreams to be unattainable, I’m not sure if Britain is ready for a model with a disability.”

I think it’s an interesting idea, but I just can’t see it being a huge ratings thing. People tend to run from this sort of thing, but I think I’m going to be checking it out. More pictures at the source link above.

This is a bit surprising, but it seems that Luke Perry has no plans to be in the new 90210 spin-off series.

“I can’t re-imagine it currently,” Perry told The Billy Bush Show Thursday.

“It’s just not something that I’ve thought about to be quite honest,” Perry, who played brooding rebel Dylan McKay revealed. “I don’t see it happening.”

As for his former castmates Spelling and Garth, “I wish them a lot of luck. I hope they have a lot of success with it,” Perry said.

I suppose he’s forgotten what having a career is like. No, I’m not trying to be a hater, but I honestly haven’t seen the guy in anything in a long time. Well, except for a few crappy movies I suppose. You’d think getting a chance to re-connect with a whole generation would be something exciting, but I guess not.
