Burn Notice Renewed for Season 7
♦ by Unknown Wednesday, 7 November 2012 Friday, 26 October 2012 0 comments
USA announced today that Burn Notice has been given a 13-episode order for a seventh season. This will mark the third show in the cable network's history to reach 100 episodes.
"Burn Notice is like a fine wine that gets better with age," said USA Network Co-Presidents Chris McCumber and Jeff Wachtel. "Delivering high-octane action, gripping drama and nearly 7 million viewers for the mid-season finale, this veteran series is a proven staple of our portfolio."
This announcement completes the network's renewals of series for the summer. Paired with USA's Suits -- which was recently given its own third-season order -- Burn Notice had the most successful block on television during its sixth season run.
The news wasn't so good recently for USA's Fairly Legal, Common Law and Political Animals, all of which have been cancelled.

Attack of the Show and X-Play Cancelled by G4
♦ by Unknown Wednesday, 7 November 2012 Friday, 26 October 2012 0 comments
Farewell, Attack of the Show and X-Play. TVGuide.com is reporting that the two long-running G4 series are coming to an end, as the cable undergoes a rebranding that will turn away from its geek-friendly past.
The final episodes of both will air in December, and leading up to the finale will be rotating guest co-hosts joining current AOTS hosts Candace Bailey and Sara Underwood and X-Play hosts Morgan Webb and Blair Herter, including John Barrowman, Michael Ian Black, Josh Myers, Paul Scheer, Rob Huebel and Horatio Sanz.
TVGuide.com says both shows will have a series of farewell episodes that will include former guests and hosts returning, along with re-airing favorite segments from the past, including AOTS’s coverage of San Diego Comic-Con and X-Play’s E3 coverage.
"Attack of the Show and X-Play have been important for G4, and we want to acknowledge the creative people who have helped inspire and showcase the phenomenon of gamer culture," G4 Media general manager Adam Stotsky tells TV Guide. "With more than 3,000 episodes aired between them, we have more than enough great material to honor these innovators and their amazing contributions as we bring both shows to a close."
TVGuide.com says there is talk that G4 may be looking to partner with Esquire or another men’s magazine like GQ as it moves forward into “more upscale, sophisticated guy TV space.” The network may be renamed G4Men, among other possibilities.
