Posted by Seth at 5:25 AM on June 24, 2008
· Disney may have another "bankable tyke-and-tween franchise" (why does that phrase sound vaguely offensive and child-pornish?) in Camp Rock, says Variety, with 8.9 million viewers tuning in to watch the Jonas Brothers sing their newest hit, "(Yuck!) There's A Mosquito in My S'mores." [Variety]
· DreamWorks bought a comedy pitch called Home Schooled, about a 30-year-old man who was home schooled and is now heading off to college. The clash of cultures is sure to yield hilarious results! [THR]
· Tom Hanks sides with AFTRA in the escalating SAG-AFTRA feud. [Variety]
· Plastic pony fetishist Sloane Crosley's book of short, personal essays, I Was Told There'd Be Cake, was purchased by HBO for development into a possible series. [Variety]
· Supernatural EP Eric Kripke has signed a two-year deal with Warner Bros.TV, which—get ready to be spooked out—secures his showrunner duties on the shows upcoming fourth season on The CW. [Variety]

Thanks to the miracle of Plan B, I'm happily child free and happy to have limited knowledge of Camp Rock, Hannah Montana, Libby Lu glitter parties, and be-jeweled Crocs.

8.9 million viewers, eh? Methinks a good 25% of those are male, of drinking age and liketh the cock.
...just sayin'.

I have no shame in admitting this -- I watched Camp Rock last night. I was hungover and sunburned and exhausted and it seemed like a perfect remedy. It. Was. Terrible. Mind-numbingly awful. I don't understand why only one of the brothers Jonas was there. I don't understand why Disney is so hard up on Demi Lovato -- she was as boring as anything I've ever witnessed. And, shoot me for saying this, there was simply not enough singing and dancing. The best part was the last ten minutes when all they did was sing and dance and we could all pretend this was fun times.

I didn't think it was possible for a show to be as mind-numbingly stupid as the Brady Bunch Hour, but Camp Rock did it. It took thirty years, but they did it.

@NoWireHangers: ...but sadly, there is nothing that can prevent "The 30-Year Old Revenge of the Home Schooled Nerd Virgin".

@RocketRockit: The other Jonai were the members of "Connect Three." There were a couple of scenes of them cavorting gaily.
