Network TV has been dying for years, but in the 2008-2009 which ends this coming month, it finally croaked.  If some of you don’t care, well, no crap.  Did you check out Better Off Ted the other night?  Yeah, me either.

It didn’t used to be like this — networks rolling out dozens of new shows each year only to cancel them four episodes into their runs.  In 1953 — yep, I’m going way back — an episode of I Love Lucy aired that played on 71% of all television sets in the United States.  Just yesterday I heard that ABC is considering renewing Scrubs for a ninth season.  The percentage of television sets tuning into Scrubs in its eighth season?  3.5.

Case in Point: last night’s Thursday Weekend Update.  The prime time special opened with a spot-on lampoon of Tuesday night’s tediously boring-ass debate, but the real stand-out was the verbal stoning of AIG in Really?! with Seth and Amy and OMG Are You Serious?.

Plans to expand the Dunder Mifflin paper manufacturing brand have been shredded.

It was rumored that NBC was planning a spin off for The Office, but executive producer Greg Daniels is now “said to be creating an entirely different series (possibly a workplace comedy) built around Saturday Night Live’s Amy Poehler.”

Get your first look at director Richard Kelly’s (Donnie Darko) trailer for the upcoming sci-fi thriller, Southland Tales, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Seann William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Justin Timberlake, Mandy Moore, Cheri Oteri and Amy Poehler.

‘Southland Tales’ is an ensemble piece set in the futuristic landscape of Los Angeles on July 4, 2008, as it stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster. Boxer Santaros is an action star who’s stricken with amnesia. His life intertwines with Krysta Now, an adult film star developing her own reality television project, and David Clark, a Hermosa Beach police officer who holds the key to a vast conspiracy.
