The League Renewed for Third Season
Great news fantasy football lovers… or at least fans of FX’s show The League about a group of fantasy footballers. The show has officially been picked up for a third season. Check out the news release below:
FX DRAFTS THE LEAGUE FOR THIRD TIME
Network Orders 13 Episodes for Season Three
Production Will Begin In the Summer and Season Three Will Premiere in the Fall
LOS ANGELES, February 7, 2011 – FX has picked up a third season of its comedy series The League, ordering 13 episodes, announced Nick Grad, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, FX Networks.
On a first-run basis, season two of The League averaged 1.4 million total viewers and 1.1 million Adults 18-49, up +4% and +5% vs. season one, respectively. On a multi-run total basis, season two delivered 2.5 million total viewers and 2.0 million adults 18-49.
“We’re pleased to announce the third season pickup of The League, and are fired up to continue our partnership with Jackie and Jeff Schaffer and the ensemble cast,” said Grad. “We love the show, and the reaction the cast received across the country during their recent comedy tour is a sign the show is really building momentum.”
Set against the backdrop of a fantasy football league, The League is about friendship, marriage, parenting, and growing up…or refusing to grow up. It was created by the husband-and-wife team of Jeff Schaffer (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld) and Jackie Marcus Schaffer (Disturbia, EuroTrip) who serve as executive producers and directors. The ensemble cast features Mark Duplass, Stephen Rannazzisi, Nick Kroll, Paul Scheer, Katie Aselton and Jon Lajoie. The series is produced by FX Productions.
“We’re thrilled to be doing a third season of The League with our amazing cast and the most audacious network around,” the Schaffers. “FX is truly like the parents we wish we had growing up – every time we say something naughty they reward us.”
FX is the flagship general entertainment basic cable network from the Fox Networks Group. Launched in June of 1994, FX is carried in more than 96 million homes. The diverse schedule includes a growing roster of critically acclaimed and award-winning original series; an established film library with box-office hits from 20th Century Fox and other studios; and an impressive roster of acquired hit series.

Honeymoon Suite Concert Next Friday
I know they’ve been in Nova Scotia a few times over the last number of years but I always managed to miss when and where they were playing. Well… I know they play next Friday and Saturday night at the New Rodeo Lounge in Dartmouth and I’ve already picked up my tickets. The last time I saw them in concert was on my 19th birthday in Truro which in fact was almost 19 years ago. Unreal how time flies but nevertheless I cannot wait to see them.
Marvel Studios has revealed the poster for Captain America: The First Avenger, hitting 3D and 2D theaters on July 22. Directed by Joe Johnston, the action adventure stars Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Hugo Weaving, Sebastian Stan, Toby Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Dominic Cooper, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci and Neal McDonough.

February 2 Pull List
One of my favorite bi-weekly titles is out today… Brightest Day!! I have to say that having Brightest Day and Generation Lost coming out every other week has been great. Both series will be soon be coming to an end but looking at all the upcoming Flashpoint releases I should be grateful. One limited series at long last finishes today, Time Masters: Vanishing Point. This series should have finished alongside of the Return of Bruce Wayne but both ran late. Speaking of late… Batman Odyssey is never on time.

The Event Returns March 7th
The Event returns next month to televsion after taking hiatus at the end of November. Good news comes that there will be no loose ends if it isn’t renewed. Unfortunately that won’t be the case for V on ABC if it isn’t renewed. Here’s the scoop thanks to EW:
NBC has set a return date for The Event, and has tapped an A-list cinematographer to direct one pivotal episode.
EW has exclusively learned The Event is coming back on Monday, March 7, with a two-hour presentation, followed by Harry’s Law. After that, there’s nine more Event episodes to finish out the show’s first season.
Also, Janusz Kaminski — the Oscar-winning cinematographer behind a score of Steven Spielberg classics as Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List, and War of the Worlds — has been tapped to direct episode 15.
Could No. 15 be when fans finally learn what “The Event” is?
Producers said last year that the title reference will be revealed in the latter half of the first season. Also, they’ve maintained that the season finale will conclude the current storylines in a satisfying manner (a different strategy than, say, ABC’s V, which is going for a cliffhanger).

NBC Cuts Episode Order for The Cape
NBC’s superhero drama The Cape has had it’s episode order cut from 13 down to 10. Due to it’s poor ratings, the future doesn’t look bright for The Cape. It isn’t canceled yet but I wouldn’t hold my breath on it sticking around.
