– Suck it
CW! BET’s revived The Game scored 7.7 million viewers in the U.S. on Tuesday
night with it’s one-hour season premiere. The Gilfriends spin-off was barely averaging 2 million on The CW during
its 2006-2009 run.

– Greg Daniels told TV Line that Steve Carell will be leaving The
Office before the season finale: “Our
basic plan is to see the jockeying and interviewing [for Michael’s job], and
not have that happen off-camera…We’d rather play out the stories of the various
characters who want that seat, and show them fight for it.”

– ABC has greenlit the new Charlie’s Angels pilot that will be
produced by Drew Barrymore, Nancy Juvonen (Jimmy Fallon’s wife) and Leonard
Goldberg. Smallville’s Miles Millar and Al Gough are also attached to the pilot. The internet is buzzing
with castings suggestions that include Sarah
Michelle Gellar, Katie Cassidy and
Summer Glau. So far, only Robert Wagner has been cast as [the
voice of] Charlie. The modern take on the 70s series will be set in Miami.

– Jason Ritter will be returning to Parenthood for an episode later this season when Sarah goes to him
for advice.

– David E. Kelley thinks that NBC
might still consider his Wonderman reboot.

– Sad news, Amber Tamblyn’s stint
on House will wrap up this spring.

– Personally, I was also on Team Zack, but in no way did Slater deserve this! Police
were called to a restaurant after an angry customer shattered a framed photo
of A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez). The
man told the owner of the restaurant that “I just don’t like Slater,” after he
took the photo down from its place above the urinal and smashed it on the
floor.
