NEW YORK - People who like their dramas dark and complicated and their comedies animated should find plenty to look forward to next season from Fox, whose entertainment president, Kevin Reilly, yesterday told reporters that "we're just looking for good, noisy shows."
NEW YORK - When it comes to CBS, edgy is so 2007.
The network that last May vowed to "make a little noise" with a schedule that included Cuban-American millionaires, 1970s swingers, a singing, dancing casino owner and a vampire, has sent "Cane" and "Moonlight" packing, along with James Woods' "Shark."
- NEW YORK - If you liked what you saw on ABC last fall, get ready to like it all over again. Because as ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson met with reporters yesterday to outline the schedule he'd present to advertisers later in the day, he had just two new fall shows to talk about.
- SUPERNANNY. 9 p.m. Wednesday, Channel 6. JO FROST'S CONFIDENT BABY CARE. Hyperion paperback. $15.95. WHEN JO FROST pulls up to someone's house in her black London taxicab, there's usually trouble waiting.
- FRONTLINE: STORM OVER EVEREST. 9 p.m. tomorrow, Channel 12. LEFT FOR DEAD: MIRACLE ON EVEREST. 9 p.m. May 20, National Geographic.
- HEAR AND NOW. 8 tonight, HBO. IF I COULD say one thing to documentary filmmakers everywhere, it would be this: If you're going to make a film - not just a home movie - about your family, please make sure they're worth introducing to strangers.
