Over in camp ABC, it seems more renewals have taken place than cancelations – which can only be a good thing.

I feel that it’s smart for the UK channels to start airing new American shows after it has been announced if they’ve been picked up for a second series or not. In E4′s case I think they’ve learned their lesson from putting the ill-fate Charlie’s Angels re-make on too early and are now leaving it till May to air their new bunch of imports such as last week’s Apartment 23, the upcoming Suburgatory and Revenge which starts tonight on E4 all of which have been renewed for a second series.
A couple of US TV shows as well as some live extravaganzas headline this week’s big TV preview.
The Eurovision Song Contest (BBC1, Sat, 8pm)
After two nights of watching increasingly barmy semi-final acts, which saw us say goodbye to some of the wackiest songs, it’s time for Saturday’s main event namely. If, like me, you’re having a Eurovision shindig then you’ll want to pace yourself as there are plenty of boring Balkan ballads littered among the headline-grabbing acts which will drag your evening down. In terms of UK viewers the evening may peak early on as Englebert Humperdink, or #TheHump as idiots are now calling him, is performing his gentle love song ‘Love Will Set You Free’ in the first position. Will that count against him in the final voting? Only time will tell however it’s quite clear that our country will probably never win this thing again. Along the way we also have the Turkish man-boat, the Russian Grannies, the Ukrainian Samantha Mumba, the Swedish girl getting pelted by snow and of course the unstoppable force that is Jedward. Though Eurovision isn’t always great its camp value shines through and if you don’t take it too seriously you’re always guaranteed to have a good time.
American network giants, ABC, have today announced the renewal of Dancing With The Stars, The Bachelor and Shark Tank, fans will be pleased to hear.
According to reports from Deadline, the three popular shows will be joining the slate of new season programming from the network, despite Dancing With The Stars reaching its lowest premier figures when its latest season, season 11, began in March, and its latests cycle going head to head with The Voice, with The Voice beating its rating figures significantly on several occasions.

ABC drama Revenge is set to air here in the UK later this year on E4, and one of the show’s stars, Joshua Bowman, reckons the show’s sure to do well here as it has a “similar undercurrent” to hit period drama, Downton Abbey.
Joshua – who formerly starred in Holby City before heading Stateside – expanded on his thoughts about how similar Revenge is to Downton, telling the PA, “It’s got a similar undercurrent to it, where there’s lots of secrets and stuff going on.
“So I think it will work, hopefully it will.”
In Revenge, Joshua stars alongside leading lady Emily VanCamp – who plays Emily Thorne – as her “love interest”, and he revealed that he’s loved working with her.
He said, “She’s fantastic. Extremely talented and I learn from her every day…” Read more & comment »
