William Shatner is so ‘Money’
William Shatner, who’s been a Starfleet captain, tough-guy cop, lecherous lawyer and even a bit of a singer in his long career, will soon be able to add “game show host” to his resume.
Shatner, who currently stars on “Boston Legal,” will serve as host — a first for him — for “Show Me the Money,” a game show set to air sometime later this season on ABC. It comes from Endemol USA, the producers behind “Deal or No Deal” and ABC’s “Set for Life.”
On the show, contestants will have to answer trivia questions. The twist is that players also “must contend with a never-before-seen mechanism that can cut contestants’ winnings to nothing or instantly catapult them into the millions,” according to the network.
Shatner won consecutive Emmys in 2004 and ‘05 for his role on “Boston Legal.” He’s still best known, though, as Capt. James T. Kirk of “Star Trek.”

‘Christine,’ ‘Unit’ guaranteed full second seasons
Earlier this year, “The Unit” and “The New Adventures of Old Christine” were uncertain midseason replacements, but now both shows have been ordered up for a full second season.
Industry trade papers have reported that both the Monday comedy and the Tuesday military drama have already been saluted with a back-nine order, bringing their season episode totals to the full compliment of 22.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ recent Emmy win, “Christine” pulled in 13.6 million viewers on Monday, better than last season’s average of 12.5 million.
“The Unit,” which stars Scott Foley and Dennis Haysbert, has stayed strong in a tough Tuesday hour, hooking 13.2 million viewers earlier this week. | Only registered users can write comments.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
