‘Bones’ Slasher Episode gets Freddy Krueger Actor

Posted on

Well those of us who love our SciFi and Horror all know Robert Englund very well from TV and movies like V the original, Galaxy of Terror, The Phantom of the Opera, The Vampyre Wars and the list goes on and on but most everyone knows him as Freddy Krueger from Nightmare on Elm Street. Now that actor Robert Englund has been replaced by Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger in the A Nightmare on Elm Street reboot, Englund has a bit more time to once again take on other roles and do some special guest appearances on TV series.

Englund who is now age 62 has signed on to appear in a episode of Fox’s hit television series Bones. The plan is to make a slasher-themed episode and have Englund play a creepy custodian at Brennan’s old high school.

The story finds jaded Brennan (Emily Deschanel) planning to skip her high school reunion, until a murder sends her and Booth (David Boreanaz) to the scene to investigate. The episode will air this spring.

 

 

 

Pushing Daisies Maybe Cancelled?

Posted on

Pushing Daisies is part of ABC’s Wednesday-night block, which has been one of the season’s more puzzling disappointments. Private Practice, Dirty Sexy Money, and Pushing Daisies are all down in the ratings department, and none of the suits seems to know why. Maybe they should ask some of us that are out here on main street, I bet we could tell them, it’s called a recession! None the less, " Private Practice" received a full-season pickup about a week ago, but so far no word has been given on both Daisies and Dirty Sexy.

Kristen Chenoweth, who plays fan favorite Olive Snook, is concerned about the show’s future.

"It looks like we could possibly not be getting picked up. We have not gotten our order for the back nine [episodes] yet," Chenoweth told The National Ledger. "We finish November 12, and if we don’t get any more news, then that means we’re done. We just don’t know what’s going on. It’s the not knowing that is driving everybody crazy. We’re still doing our show and keeping positive, but I think deep down people just want to know."

What Daisies has going against it is the show’s high production values; it isn’t a cheap show to make. And with the economy sluggish (and that’s a euphemism), ABC has to take a business-first approach. On the other hand, critics and executives are high on the program, so it’s really a case of cross your fingers and wait and see.

An online petition has been started that currently has more than 29,550 signatures on it. If you’re a fan, we highly recommend signing up.

Whats your thoughts on Pushing Daisies?
