Read MoreShow had stiff cable competition, including the NBA finals
It seems more people are excited to see if LeBron James will win an NBA championship with the Miami Heat than they are about the Skitters taking over the world.

If Leonard Nimoy is going to appear in "Star Trek 2," here's hoping he's already shot his scenes. Filming for "Star Trek 2" ended Tuesday after nearly four months of shooting, according to TrekMovie.

The new Fox series "Alcatraz" seems to have won some points with viewers, earning a solid debut in its two-hour premiere that topped "Terra Nova's" attempt in the fall. The series from "Star Trek" and "Star Trek 2" director J.J. Abrams averaged a 6.0 rating/9 share Monday, according to Fast Natio ...
Read MoreFox wants to see how spring shows fare before making decision
The decision on whether or not to renew "Terra Nova" is no longer up to the big-budget dinosaur epic to perform. It now all depends on Fox's mid-season schedule to not perform. During Sunday's Television Critics Association winter press tour, Fox president Kevin Reilly said that "Terra Nova" was ...

It looks like good news is on the way for "Terra Nova." The highly anticipated Fox series (which unfortunately could not turn that hype into viewers) could get a second chance to continue. But then again, this could just be Fox's way to give itself a little more time to make a decision. The op ...
