This 'n' that

Some stuff has been piling up, so let’s get it all out:
• The premiere of quarterlife has been pushed back. It will first air at 10 p.m. Feb. 26 (a Tuesday), before settling into its regular air time/date of 8 p.m. Sundays, beginning March 2. It originally was supposed to premiere Monday, Feb. 18, but now it’s going to take advantage of the Tuesday lead-in, The Biggest Loser. This also knocks the premiere of Monk and Psych on broadcast television back from 9-11 p.m. March 2 to 8-10 April 6 (still a Sunday). Confused? I’m sure NBC will continue to change air dates just for the fun of it.
• Lance Reddick’s getting plenty of work even with the demise of The Wire, when it finishes its fifth and final season in a few weeks. He was cast in J.J. Abrams’ Fox pilot, Fringe (besides being in the soon-to-start season of Lost). TVGuide.com reports that he’ll be “the special agent who heads the division of Homeland Security that specializes in X-Files-type events.”
• Buddy TV reports that SciFi is going to air two specials in advance of the Battlestar Galactica Season 4 premiere in April. They’re a half-hour apiece and will air at 10 p.m. Friday, March 28, BSG’s old time slot (before the Sunday night switch last season). They’re entitled Battlestar Galactica: Revisited and Battlestar Galactica: The Phenomenon. The former’s a recap (thus, “Revisited”) and the latter is the fan and critical reaction. This is good for folks who are just catching up with BSG, seeing as the Season 3 DVD set only comes out three days earlier, on March 25.
• More BSG: Apparently, reports of Caprica’s resurrection may have been greatly exaggerated. Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that even though a SciFi veep the other week told TV Guide that NBC/Universal wanted the network to take another look at the pilot, no one’s said anything to Ron Moore yet. [Shaking fist in air.] Curse ye gods of fickle TV-dom! Bring back (can you bring something back when it hasn’t ever been there yet?) Caprica! Oh, and why’s Ron Moore important? Hmm. Because he and David Eick created the Caprica pilot as a prequel of sorts to their magnificent Battlestar Galactica. That’s why.
• And, finally, the Screen Actors Guild TV award winners (for all winners, go here):
