CBS Unveils "Supergirl" trailer




CBS has released the first trailer for one of its most anticipated new series of the fall, "Supergirl".  The TV show follows Melissa Benoist as Superman’s Kryptonian cousin, Kara Zor-El.

Read the official synopsis below:

 "Supergirl" is an action-adventure drama based on the DC Comics character Kara Zor-El (Melissa Benoist), Superman’s (Kal-El) cousin who, after 12 years of keeping her powers a secret on Earth, decides to finally embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be. Twelve-year-old Kara escaped the doomed planet Krypton with her parents’ help at the same time as the infant Kal-El. Protected and raised on Earth by her foster family, the Danvers, Kara grew up in the shadow of her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh), and learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin in order to keep her identity a secret. Years later at 24, Kara lives in National City assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Golden Globe Award winner Calista Flockhart), who just hired the Daily Planet’s former photographer, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks), as her new art director. 



However, Kara’s days of keeping her talents a secret are over when Hank Henshaw (David Harewood), head of a super-secret agency where her sister also works, enlists her to help them protect the citizens of National City from sinister threats. Though Kara will need to find a way to manage her newfound empowerment with her very human relationships, her heart soars as she takes to the skies as Supergirl to fight crime. Greg Berlanti (“The Flash,” “Arrow”), Ali Adler, Sarah Schecter and Andrew Kreisberg are executive producers for Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The pilot was directed by Glen Winter (“Arrow”).

The show looks really good and we can´t stress how excited we are to watch it when it premieres next November.

Until then, you can watch the full six minute preview trailer above!

William Petersen returns for "CSI" Series Finale




CBS has confirmed that one of it´s longest running series, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", will wrap after 15 seasons on September 27. 

The network has announced that the show will come to an end with a two-hour TV movie that will see the return of original stars William Petersen and Marg Helgenberger.

On the other hand, current star Ted Danson will move on to one of its spin-offs "CSI Cyber" currently renewed for a second season next year.

It is always sad to see an iconic show wrap up but the fact that CBS is giving the fans closure with the return of two of its most iconic stars is definitely something to celebrate.

Are you sad to bid farewell to "CSI"

CBS officially picks up "Supergirl"




It took a bit of negotiating but CBS has officially picked up a series order for "Supergirl". The show produced by Greg Berlanti stars Melissa Benoist as the title character and co-stars a number of familiar faces such as Calista Flockhart or Chyler Leigh.

Apparently CBS Entertainment was hesitant at first because of financial issues but Nina Tassler, the chairman´s network, saw a final cut of the pilot and fell in love with it. The rest as they say is history.

Will you watch "Supergirl" when it premieres in the fall?

Charlie Sheen Gets Fired From "Two and a Half Men"


 It was bound to happen sooner or later. After months of scandals and a very difficult relationship, CBS and Charlie Sheen have officially parted ways.

 Both CBS and Warner Bros Television have fired the controversial actor from the sitcom Two and a Half Men as expressed in the official statement released earlier today:

 “After careful consideration, Warner Bros. Television has terminated Charlie Sheen’s services on Two and a Half Men effective immediately.”

 It is still uncertain if the show will get cancelled or if Sheen will be replaced by a new actor at this point. Sheen on the other hand, was very honest when expressing his thoughts about the network´s decision when speaking to TMZ:

 “This is very good news. They continue to be in breach, like so many whales. It is a big day of gladness at the Sober Valley Lodge because now I can take all of the bazillions, never have to look at whatshiscock again and I never have to put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension.”

 Do you believe Sheen had it coming? Should Two and a Half Men get cancelled?

"How I Met Your Mother" Gets Renewed For Two More Years


 How I Met Your Mother fans can now end any possible plans for a campaign to save their show, as CBS has renewed the sitcom for two more seasons.

 The show has performed well in its current sixth season, drawing aproximately 9.1 million viewers per episode. It has grown in popularity over the years, even featuring important guest stars such as Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Sarah Chalke or James Van Der Beek.

 As far as the storyline goes, now that the show is locked for two more years, it is safe to say that the identity of the mother won´t be revealed to audiences any time soon.

 Do you find this piece of news legen... wait for it... dary?!? Let me know in the comments!
