Teen Wolf for MTV

MTV has picked up a new series based on the 1980s movie Teen Wolf. The network has ordered 12 episodes of the revamped series which is described as being less comedic than the Michael J.

Lost simulcast

UK’s Sky1 network is going to extraordinary lengths to air the Lost finale episode before internet pirates get a hold of it. The network is set to screen the finale at 5am on Monday 24 May, which means it will run simultaneously with the ABC broadcast in the US. They join Italy, Spain, Portugal, Israel, Turkey and Canada in simultaneously broadcasting.

American network CBS has gone on a spring cleaning rampage, culling seven shows for the upcoming season.

The network has cancelled several big-name shows which appear in primetime slots in New Zealand as it makes room for new projects for the upcoming American summer.

Headlining the list of cancellations is drama series Cold Case, which has faded in the ratings in recent seasons according to the network. The show has run for seven seasons in total.

Jennifer Love Hewitt vehicle Ghost Whisperer has also been axed despite the show performing relatively well overseas.

11:30pm Thursday, April 8 on TV2

Julia Louis-Dreyfus returns to TV2 tonight, with brand new episodes of her sitcom, The New Adventures Of Old Christine.

Christine (Louis-Dreyfus) is a divorced mum who runs a gym with her friend Barb (Wanda Sykes), while struggling to keep the peace with everyone around her. That includes the judgmental stay-at-home mums at her son Richie's (Trevor Gagnon) private school, her ex-husband, Richard (Clark Gregg) - and his new girlfriend (Emily Rutherfurd), whose name also happens to be Christine.

Tonight, Christine uses her expertise as a gym-owner to help Matthew (Hamish Linklater) lose weight. But in her attempt to help him, she finds she is unable to shed the extra pounds she's put on herself.

New Adventures of Old Christine Friday 2 November, 7.30pm

Acclaimed comedienne Julia Louis-Dreyfus returns to TV2 as divorced working mother Christine Campbell, who is trying to successfully juggle the daily stresses of motherhood and business.

Christine gets along with her charming ex-husband, Richard, even better than when they were married, but her life got a lot more complicated when she met Richard's new girlfriend: a nice, young, impossible-to-hate woman also named Christine... the 'new' Christine. When 'old' Christine realised Richard was moving on with his life, it dawned on her that maybe it was time for her to take that same leap.
Christine owns a women's 30-minute workout gym, and her young son, Ritchie, attends a posh private school. She can be a little neurotic at times, but you can't really blame her… when she's not dealing with business and child-rearing, she has to deal with the stay-at-home mums from Ritchie's school judging her every move. She is also about to learn a lesson in giving up control, as her colleague Barb has become a co-owner of the gym and the two friends are not always going to agree on how to run it.
