Adam, who just got engaged to Behati Prinsloo, a Victoria’s Secret model was reluctant to answer any questions about this rumor on Friday’s Today show. Levine acted surprised when host Savannah asked him. He said this is really interesting but he knew nothing. Other honored candidates for the title of “Sexiest Man” include the very handsome Bradley Cooper, eye-candy, Channing Tatum and the dashing Ryan Reynolds.

Adam Levine has a major fan following not just because of his band Maroon 5, but is also popular for his acting roles in Can a Song Save your life? and American Horror Story. The Moves like Jagger star has also launched fragrance and fashion lines in his name. Only in the last month of May, Adam signed a one-year deal with the NBC, for a first-look development contract and the script picked out by the network was semi-autobiographical comedy. The show is centered around his friendship with Gene Hong, writer-producer and Community fame, who was Levine’s roommate in their struggling days, way back before either of them got popular.

But don’t panic!  The hold is not necessarily a bad thing.  While it means only four more episode of Parks will air this year, it means that more will air in the Spring half of the season.  Two episodes of the comedy will air on November 14th, and two on November 21st – one of the 14th’s episodes is Halloween-themed.

Filling the timeslot will be episodes of The Voice, football games, and various specials including an SNL Halloween clip show, The Sing-Off, and The Sound of Music telecast starring Carrie Underwood.

Parks and Recreation is currently scheduled to return on January 9th.

The move seems to be an effort on NBC’s part to boost the ratings for Sean Saves the World…and The Michael J. Fox Show.  Hayes’ comedy was just given a script order and Fox already has a full-season deal for his semi-autobiographical family sitcom.

So not to worry Parks fans.  It doesn’t look like the move is because of Parks itself.

The post NBC Puts Parks and Recreation on Hiatus, But Don’t Worry Yet appeared first on TVHackr.

More importantly, the scheduling makes clear that the network knows its comedy lineup isn’t in the best condition right now and stood to lose even more ground during an important sweeps Thursday. Bringing The Voice on could get some pre-tune in for struggling Welcome to the Family and give Parenthood the type of boost that Sean Saves the World and The Michael J. Fox Show aren’t able to provide. Additionally, the move will put a serious damper on the rest of the competition in the time slot: Reign, which already had a soft premiere; Grey’s Anatomy, which has slid since a moderately-rated season premiere; and The Crazy Ones and Two and a Half Men, both not nearly as strong as they could be.

NBC did something similar last season when they used a special episode of The Voice to dull the impact of the season premiere of The X Factor, which was boasting a panel that included Britney Spears. The fact that they made the move at this time indicates that they’re not happy with how Sean and Michael J. Fox are performing, though neither one is their most pressing scheduling concern, not when Welcome to the Family and Ironside are still airing new episodes. In the coming weeks, the networks will be repositioning themselves for midseason and that means that fans of NBC comedy should expect Thursdays to look quite different going forward.

The most likely scenario would be putting Community on Thursdays at 8:00, bumping Parks and Recreation back to 8:30, and leaving the 9:00 hour alone, though there’s the possibility of expanding The Voice on Tuesdays, cutting an hour of Thursday comedy, and using The Biggest Loser as a means to steady the night. Since The Michael J. Fox show has been growing from its lead-in, there’s also a chance that the network could flip it and Sean Saves the World; however, both would need a stronger lead-in in order for the move to make much of a difference.

How do you think NBC should schedule its Thursday nights? Would you cut an hour of comedy or would you reshuffle the deck with the addition of Community? Will this move permanently damage any of the shows The Voice will be facing off with?

The post NBC to Air New Episode of The Voice on Thursday, November 7th appeared first on TVHackr.

The core of the Friday lineup won’t be returning until Friday, October 25th, when Grimm will debut its third season at 9:00 and Dracula begins NBC’s test of low cost international co-productions at 10:00. Until they debut, Fridays will likely be the land of repeats and Dateline, which has its season premiere on September 27th before shifting to 8:00 once Grimm and Dracula arrive.

Among the other later debuts of the season are The Biggest Loser (October 8th), returning to the fall with a one-hour edition; Blair Underwood cop drama Ironside (October 2nd); interracial marriage comedy Welcome to the Family (October 3rd); and Sean Hayes vehicle Sean Saves the World (October 3rd).

The post News Roundup: Cassadee Pope to Return to The Voice on June 4th appeared first on TVHackr.

Show highlights include:

-“The Leak…” – It’s crunch time and James goes into serious training to be in top form for Dancing with the Stars. Luther is tasked with keeping James on a strict regimen, but leave it to a jealous Chloe to try and sabotage it. Still, that’s the least of their worries when embarrassing photos of James leak all over the internet.

-“Monday June…” – June has been so stressed and consumed with work that she has no time for anything else, including Chloe. Chloe’s remedy for this is to slip June an herbal relaxant, but the next thing June knows, it’s Tuesday, and Monday is a complete blackout. As she tries to piece together what happened, June discovers some surprising things about herself. Meanwhile, James grapples with the idea that he may have impregnated June’s friend, Crissy, on her wedding day.

-“Teddy Trouble…” – With the help of Teddy, her childhood friend from psychopath camp, Chloe prepares for the imminent battle-royale at an annual department store warehouse sale. However, she is uncharacteristically distracted by the return of Benjamin who, June insists, is Chloe’s true love. Meanwhile, James is disappointed to learn his Beek-brand jeans are not selling as well as expected.

-“The D…” – When Chloe gives June a ‘D’ on her yearly roommate evaluation, June correctly assumes the poor mark is due to her anemic social life. In order to up her grade, she agrees to go on a blind date with James’ agent’s assistant, Will. The pair hits it off, that is until June realizes they know a person in common. Meanwhile, Luther helps James prepare for an audition with Woody Allen.

-“The Seven Year Bitch…” – When Chloe uses her time-honored veto power to try to force James to break up with his new girlfriend, James decides to buck tradition and continue seeing the girl. Needless to say, Chloe doesn’t take the rebuff well, and so she and James decide to take some time off from their seven-year friendship. A devastated June does her best not to choose sides, but she and Luther soon discover how Chloe and James’ lives are drastically affected by their time apart.

-“Using People…” – June is shocked to discover that Chloe has been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings solely to have a captive audience for her stories… and to score free liquor. As June gives Chloe an earful for using people for her own ends, Chloe points out that hypocrite June has been taking advantage of Mark and his unrequited feelings for her, leading June to the realization that maybe she has stronger feelings for Mark than she’s been willing to admit. Meanwhile, worried he’s too “light weight” to be cast by Martin Scorsese, James tries to add some depth to his character by co-opting others’ tales of woe.

-“Ocupado…” – As Chloe and Benjamin’s sex-fueled relationship amps up, each admits to currently having additional sex partners in their “rotations.” While this revelation comes as no surprise – or deterrent — to either, Chloe is uncharacteristically jealous when she learns that she is number two on his roster, while Ben is her number one. Meanwhile, while working on a commercial, James competes with director Ben for the crew’s affections.

-“Original Bitch…” – Ten years before June moved to New York, Chloe moved into Apartment 23 and met her new roommate, Trish… the original “bitch.” After taking Chloe under her wing and teaching her everything she knew about bitch-itude, Trish betrayed Chloe and disappeared. Now, thanks to the services of a private investigator, Chloe’s got a lead on Trish and, with June in tow, sets off to exact her long-awaited revenge. Meanwhile, James learns his father isn’t his real father. Richard Dean Anderson (MacGyver) and famed Latin singer and actress Charo appear as themselves.

–The Voice will continue to alter its judging panel, as Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green are set to return for the show’s fifth season in the fall. For the sixth season, to debut after the Winter Olympics, current judges Shakira and Usher will return. Blake Shelton and Adam Levine will be present through both cycles of the hit singing competition. The current cycle of The Voice is averaging a 5.2 rating, 14 share in adults 18-49 and 14.5 million viewers overall on Monday nights, making it the season’s #3 primetime series on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49, as well as the #2 entertainment series and the #1 reality series, according to “most current” results from Nielsen Media Research.

-Syfy has announced that Warehouse 13 has been renewed for a fifth and final season. The six-episode installment is set to air in 2014, while the show is currently finishing out its fourth season. Warehouse 13 airs Mondays at 10:00 following Defiance, which has already been renewed for a second season.

10AM –  “To Wish Impossible Things” – Jake, Nathan and Lucas are sold to the highest bidder for charity in the annual Tree Hill “Boy Toy” Auction. Jake’s mysterious winning bid turns out to be Nicki, his former flame who abandoned both him and Jenny, their nine-month-old daughter. Nicki mistakenly thinks the two can reconnect, but Jake takes the opportunity to school her on the repercussions of her abandonment.

11AM –  “All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone” – Nathan and Haley leave their high school graduation ceremony when Haley goes into labor with their son Jamie. Karen’s delivery does not go well, and a momentary loss of life lets her, Keith and their daughter share a moment in heaven. Two weeks later, Haley and Nathan are nervous to attend a party and be away from the baby for the first time. Dan turns himself in to the police for Keith’s murder and is tormented by his sins in prison.

12PM –  “Things a Mama Don’t Know” – Peyton, spilling tears of joy, tells her fiancé Lucas that he’s going to be her “baby daddy”. Jamie is proud to hear that his father, Nathan, has been picked up as a point guard by the Charleston Chiefs basketball team. Lucas finds himself in the middle of a father-son feud in Hollywood, which gives him the opportunity to reflect on the type of father he wants to be. Brooke’s motherly instinct helps her track down her runaway foster daughter, and brings an end to two violent crimes that have haunted Tree Hill.

1PM – “A Hand To Take Hold of The Scene” – Lucas and Peyton have an exhausting trial run as parents when they babysit for the night.

-USA has greenlit two comedies, both of which will debut in the first quarter of 2014. Sirens, from Denis Leary and Bob Fisher, follows three of Chicago’s best EMTs whose sometimes silly, self-righteous and even self-destructive personalities make them unqualified for sustaining relationships, friendships and most occupations. Meanwhile, Playing House, which stars Jessica St. Clair and Lennon Parham, is a single-camera buddy comedy about what happens when two best friends come back together, just when they need each other most.
