Fox move Whedon's Dollhouse to Firefly's Friday night slot-of-death along with Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. Fans panic.

New LJ profile design goes live today. With no opt-out option, and LJ pretending to give a shit about "user comments".
So, thoughts? I think it's fucking ugly as hell.
10:55AM - Good news, everyone!
The CW has cancelled The Graysons, which would have been about a young Dick Grayson and his family before he became Robin.
"Warner Bros. TV never had 100% clearance," said one exec familiar with the project.
The CW had been counting on "The Graysons" to fill the void left by the likely series end of "Smallville." Like "Smallville," "The Graysons" is a superhero origins story. Show was developed to revolve around the world of Dick "DJ" Grayson before taking on the iconic Robin identity.
According to studio insiders, Robinov has decreed that Warner Bros. "rethink its DC Comics strategy" and as a result didn't want to do anything big with a DC franchise at the moment -- at least when it came to "Graysons."
"The studio has opted not to go forward with the development of 'The Graysons' at this time as the concept doesn't fit the current strategy for the Batman franchise," the studio said in a statement. "Warner Bros. Television is currently working on several replacement options for the CW."

Something's fishy, and it isn't just my icon.
11:07PM - Pimping a pimp comm
I just set up a comm on LJ for people to advertise their RPs, fannish or otherwise. If you're looking to recruit more members for your game, or want to let people know about a new one that's starting up, you can pimp them out here...y'know, in addition to wherever else you're advertising. Hey, it never hurts to be extra-thorough. People looking for games to join are also welcome to posts asking for recs and such. Anyway, come check it out. rp_pimps
