NBC finally realized they had nuked the fridge with their lame idea to turn over their 10PM hour every night to Jay Leno.  With ratings in the toilet and affliates threatening to jump ship on the once powerful network, they have decided to cancel "The Jay Leno Show" effective in February.

The last 10PM broadcast for "The Jay Leno Show" will be on Feb. 12.  Following that broadcast, the network hopes to move Leno back to 11:35PM for a half hour version of his show followed by Conan O'Brien at midnight.  Of course this will depend on whether or not O'Brien agrees to the change.

NBC is now scrambling trying to figure out what to do with their schedule. They have an unusual number of pilots in development currently.  These troubles may bode well for sinking shows like "Heroes" which would normally be cancelled but may stick around to give the network enough programming to fill their schedule. 

NBC is a complete disaster.  Will this network ever get it together?

Uncapie the Unstoppable here with a review on a DVD release for next week.

"The Donner Party" is a well-made, independent film shot on location in Truckee, California where the ill-fated emigrants, with a lack of food and the harsh environment, were faced with the unthinkable to survive.

The two leaders of the group, "William Hastings" as portrayed by Crispen Glover, and Clayne Crawford as "William Eddy" are at odds with each other over whether or not a rescue party will come for them. Deciding to take what little food they have, they ask other settlers to join them to try and get help,  they must trek 100 miles in the barren snow and wilderness to Fort Stockton for help as the war with Mexico has sent the majority of soldiers and able-bodied men to fight in it.  Calling themselves  the "Forlorn Hope," "Eddy" leaves his wife and son behind pledging to bring help as the group sets out.  First time director/writer T.J. Martin has crafted an interesting story that deals with the burden of conscious for survival.
