George Lopez lost a bunch of money this week because of Geico, whose cavemen characters helped nudge him off the ABC-TV grid. At least Lopez made it to the promised land of syndication; others in the annual network TV upfront derby weren't so lucky.
Paul Haggis: On the film side, Haggis, who shares his hometown of London, Ontario with hottie couple Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams -- is used to making history. He's the only screenwriter responsible for back-to-back Best Pictures ("Million Dollar Baby" and "Crash"). But on the small screen, his much ballyhooed NBC drama "The Black Donnelly's" is simply ... history. Maybe Haggis should have taken the hint when the network relegated an eighth episode, "God is a Comedian," to the realm of iTunes because it was deemed too violent. Squeezed in between "The Departed" and "The Sopranos," this story of four brothers in an Irish mob family wound up not having the luck of their brethren.

Which scenario is more unlikely -- a group of ordinary people who develop extraordinary powers, or two guys who turn around the ratings of a troubled late night TV comedy show?
Fantasy be damned! "Heroes" and "Studio 60" form one of our favorite blocks of TV on any night.
On tonight's "Heroes," everything leads up to Claire's homecoming dance. In an attempt to prevent his brother from being harmed, Nathan decides to destroy Isaac's missing cheerleader painting. Don't worry, the secret of the painting still gets revealed.
On "Studio 60," Matt (Matthew Perry) jokingly reveals his extraordinary powers by making Jordan's (Amanda Peet) cellphone ring on command. If only a wave of his hands could double the show's viewership -- now that would be powerful.
Check out "Heroes" and "Studio 60," beginning tonight at 9PM ET/PT on NBC.

It's getting hot on the Warner lot! Well-placed sources tell TMZ that Matthew Perry has been romancing Lizzy Caplan of the new CBS show "The Class." We're told that although the two have only been coupling for a few weeks, the romance is definitely hot and heavy!
The former "Friend" met the hot "Mean Girls" starlet on the set as Perry's show, "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" shoots nearby. Our spies tell us the two visit each other's sets frequently, and are often seen canoodling.
The two have more in common than their studio location. "The Class" was created by David Crane, who was one of the executive producers of "Friends," and the couple was reportedly fixed up by Matt LeBlanc's rumored new squeeze (and former "Joey" co-star) Andrea Anders. Just to make things even more incestuously confusing, Anders now is a "Class" regular.
And in case you were wondering; Lizzy is 24 and Matthew is 37. Nice pull, Chandler. Could she BE any younger??

That giant exhale you heard last Friday was all the "Studio 60" fans rejoicing after learning the show would be picked up for a full season.
Now we can enjoy the show in peace, without wondering what the show's fate will be.
Anyway, this week's episode picks up where last week's left off -- mainly with Jack and Danny trying to keep Simon and Tom out of jail. In a clip from tonight's episode, the judge (played by John Goodman) explains why he can't speed up a hearing for Tom Jeter (Nathan Corddry).
"Studio 60" airs tonight at 10PM ET/PT on NBC.

If you've ever wanted to imagine yourself on the receiving end of a pickup attempt from Matthew Perry, tonight's episode of "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" is your chance.
Providing you're mildly delusional, just imagine that you are guest star Lauren Graham -- a real-life friend of Perry's -- as his character attempts to score a date with Graham, playing herself on the show. One thing of note here -- notice the persistence. He never loses confidence when it appears he is about to be rejected. Also notice how tall Lauren Graham is -- she's nearly eye-to-eye with Perry and he's over six feet all.
As for the rest of tonight's episode (10PM ET/PT on NBC), we're particularly looking forward to seeing a drunken Jordan (played by Amanda Peet) trying to make friends with the cast during an after-show party.
