Bubble Watch 2011: Parting in Such Sweet Sorrow
Each year, it is always the same. As April and May come around, the clock ticks down on a number of television shows whose time has run out. While some shows will go quietly into the night, others will feel like we have been slapped in the face by a bucket of cold water. But no matter whether it is an expected death or an unexpected sudden demise, a number of viewers and fans will still mourn the loss of these shows.
The Fall 2010 season began with the heavily hyped premiers of such cutting-edge dramas as LONE STAR and MY GENERATION — only to find that a few short weeks later, they were nowhere to be found on the broadcast schedule. Others such as OUTLAW, UNDERCOVERS, RUNNING WILDE and THE WHOLE TRUTH lingered a while longer, and then also quietly disappeared.
Then less quietly and with much more gnashing of teeth, were the shocking cancellations of CAPRICA, STARGATE: UNIVERSE, and TERRIERS — and somewhere in the midst of those wild outcries were even more shows falling beneath the guillotine, such as: RUBICON, LIFE UNEXPECTED, UNNATURAL HISTORY, TOWER PREP, CHASE, and THE GOOD GUYS.

Being Remade Soon to a Small Screen Near You: What British Shows You Should Expect to See Next! (feat. THE INBETWEENERS, MISFITS & HUSTLE)
Continuing their aversion to actual “Music Television,” MTV recently announced that THE INBETWEENERS will soon be joining an ever-expanding list of UK hits (Including: Showtime’s SHAMELESS, Syfy’s BEING HUMAN, MTV’s SKINS to name a few) to be adapted for American audiences. A move, that while not unexpected, got this TV Addict thinking: Wouldn’t it be neat if we could talk to an actual UK television addict to find out what’s in the pipeline? Enter a real-life Londoner with a passion for American TV Nawfal Faizullah, who through the magic that is the internet was kind enough to pen a preview as to what British shows North American audiences should expect to see on their small screens next.
THE INBETWEENERS
What’s it about: THE INBETWEENERS follows the lives of four socially incept suburban teenagers as they attempt to make their way through high school.
Why it will work: MTV certainly thinks so, having already announced a 12 episode pickup, produced by ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT writer Brad Copeland, alongside original series creators Damon Beesley and Iain Morris. Brad Copeland not only wrote some of the best episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, including the episode in which Gob agrees to be placed in prison so that he can stage an escape, but was also a writer for NEWSRADIO and MY NAME IS EARL, while Damon Beesley and Iain Morris were involved in HBO’S fantastic FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS prior to creating THE INBETWEENERS
When THE INBETWEENERS first launched in the UK is was frequently compared to the much hyped SKINS, which had already aired its critically acclaimed first and second season on the same network. But while SKINS featured a hyper-sexualized portrayal of teenage life, with even star Nicholas Hoult describing the series as existing within a “heightened” reality, THE INBETWEENERS was instead praised for its more accurate portrayal of adolescence, with the characters frequently failing in their quest to take part in “adult” activities and be seen as “proper adults”. By focusing on the humor of mundane every day life, THE INBETWEENERS is far removed from the world of GOSSIP GIRL and 90210, instead more closely resembling NBC’s THE OFFICE, which was praised early in its run for the relatable humour found from working in an office environment. With great writers and a promising cast, including Zack Pearlman from THE VIRGINITY HIT, THE INBETWEENERS could succeed for MTV where SKINS failed.
TV Showrunning 101: 5 Tips To Increase Your Show’s Social Media Presence
This past weekend (Saturday April 9th to be exact) SONS OF ANARCHY Showrunner Kurt Sutter (@sutterink) wondered aloud how he might go about improving his social media presence in anticipation of the upcoming fourth season premiere of his hit FX Show. Being a self-proclaimed expert in the art of procrastination (Read: Watching TV and surfing Twitter… Oh boy is our Mother proud!), we decided to take it upon ourselves to offer up a few pieces of advice that Mr. Sutter as well as other TV Showrunners may-or-may-not find helpful.
Make it a Habit
In our experience, there are two types of TV Showrunners on Twitter. Those who have cleverly made the most of their time procrastinating from actual writing by incorporating the social media service du jour as a part of their everyday lives and those who simply tweet out on the day their show airs. Our advice: Don’t be the latter. Which is to say, nothing says “Unfollow” faster than the type of TV Showrunner who only pops up online on the day their show airs to remind fans to tune in.
