Tune in, Turn On, Find Out

Sarah Rodman here saying hello from not so sunny at the moment California.

I’m taking a break from my usual home at "Sound Effects" to be a guest blogger here at "Viewer Discretion" to report on the semi-annual Television Critics Association summer press tour in Los Angeles, where the television networks parade out actors, writers, producers and executives to talk up what you’ll be seeing on the tube this fall.

I arrived on Saturday and already have a whole bunch of tidbits to send your way about everyone from David Duchovny-- who says a new “X-Files” movie is in the offing-- to Star Jones--who looks even tinier in person.

I’ll be firing off dispatches throughout the next six days and nights about who I see and talk to and what everybody is buzzing about here at the snazzy Beverly Hilton.

Expect a full report on this past weekend’s activities --including presentations from Showtime and BET--in a few hours but now I’m off to the NBC executive session to hear why the network has decided to hire controversy-swamped "Grey’s Anatomy" actor Isaiah Washington to appear on their update of "The Bionic Woman."

Oh and a quick programming note, Matthew was right on the money below. Showtime will be pairing "Brotherhood" with "Dexter" this fall, with both premiering September 30.

And a quick thanks to Matthew and Joanna for allowing me into their home. I promise not to put my feet up on the furniture.
