[TV] Fear Itself: The Complete First Season

15 September 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

There’s probably a reason that there aren’t any anthology shows on television anymore. It’s a lot to ask of today’s audiences to watch an entirely new show every week, with new settings, characters, and creative teams. It’s tough to build up an audience where they can’t invest in any of the characters or relationships, knowing they will have to start from scratch the following week. The only way for an anthology series to survive is for it to do something new and exciting with every airing. At the very least, maybe throw in some big name B-List stars? A few familiar actors and directors show up on occasion to try to lure audiences in, notably Eric Roberts (the good Roberts sibling), Elisabeth Moss (playing a determined woman in a male-dominated workplace), and John Landis (about 30 years past his prime) – but given the uneven run of this series, »

More News Bites: A Flashdancer Heads for 'Eli', and Landis Sues

Jennifer Beals has started filling her schedule, now that The L Word is on its final leg -- and so far, so sweet. The Hollywood Reporter posts that she's signed on for a role in the post-apocalyptic film The Book of Eli. Even better -- she's picked up one heck of a part. Remember how Gary Oldman signed on to play Carnegie, the bad-guy despot of a makeshift town?
