TV News: Islands, Spies, and Single Ladies

Hawaii Five-O Theme

For no other reason than that Cal reminded me about it, here's one of the five greatest TV show themes of all time. (For some reason, it doesn't show up on my browser when I'm looking at the blog's front page, but it does when you open the post itself. Just in case you can't see it either.)



For all its Daniel Dae Kimness, if the new version doesn't have some variation of this music, it will have utterly failed.

Off the Map picked up



This was probably a no-brainer, but ABC has agreed to air Shonda Rhimes' (Grey's Anatomy) new tropical-island-doctors show Off the Map starring one of my favorite actors, Jason George (Eli Stone, Eastwick, Grey's Anatomy). [The Ausiello Files]

No Handsome Man for Terra Nova



Well, I'm sure it'll have a handsome man in it, but it won't have the Handsome Man, Kyle Chandler. He's apparently passed. [Hollywood Insider]

Chuck, Undercovers, a buttload of other new shows, and Captain Jack dances for "all the single ladies" after the break.

TV News: Meet Jim Rockford

Grey's Anatomy SPOILER



No, that's not Jim Rockford. Keep reading for that news.

What the heck's a Grey's Anatomy spoiler doing at the top of this list? Well, it's also a spoiler for Shonda Rhimes' new, tropical-island medical drama Off the Map and if it's set on a tropical island, I'll cover it. At least until I discover whether or not it sucks.

At any rate, the romance between Ben the anesthesiologist (played by the awesome Jason George above) and the even awesomer Bailey will be short-lived. George is moving to Off the Map to play a different character. The odds of Off the Map's sucking just got a lot longer. [The Ausiello Files]

A dinosaur pilot, your new Nikita and Rockford, and the best way ever to get detention after the break.
