First of all, Fox announced today that it'll bring back the great-but-shelved Standoff on June 8 (a Friday), following Bones reruns. The show got very little respect during the early throes of the season and now its getting a Friday time slot during the summer? For shame, Fox. I realized it wasn't coming back next season a long time ago, but this gives the remaining produced episodes zero chance to succeed.
Also, MTV announced the last season of its Punk'd will premiere April 10, with a little catch. The entire final season will run in marathon form three days earlier, on April 7. The show made it through eight seasons, and was somewhat impressive: not for its role in showing celebrities getting the candid camera treatment (that's easy), but for its role in showing celebrities becoming mean and/or vulnerable when they just KNOW there's no cameras. I give Ashton Kutcher credit for that. Kutcher will conclude the show's final season with a special "Punk'd Awards" on June 5.
Inside the Actors Studio host James Lipton will receive a lifetime achievement award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, according to a Bravo release. Lipton is also the creator, executive-producer and writer of the 12-time Emmy-nominated series. The award will be presented to Lipton at the Creative Arts & Entertainment Emmy Awards on June 14 in Hollywood. you can read more about it here.
