But oh how I loved everybody else

Speed races toward new series

‘Pumped,’ ‘Hard Parts’ get greenlights

By JON WEISMAN

Fox-owned Speed has greenlit one new series for fall and two others for 2012.
The cabler has ordered 20 episodes of gameshow “Pumped,” a trivia contest that invites customers at gas stations to become immediate contestants. It’s set for a November launch with Greg Fitzsimmons hosting.
In addition, Speed requisitioned 13 episodes of “Hard Parts: South Bronx,” focusing on the search for impossible-to-find auto parts. Speed is eyeing a second-quarter 2012 premiere for “Hard Parts,” as well as new amateur driving competition skein, “Whipped.”
Speed has also ordered 13 more episodes to extend the first season of “My Ride Rules,” while greenlighting “Dumbest Stuff on Wheels,” “Car Warriors” and “Stuntbusters” for soph seasons.

Greg has rock music critic and tv writer David Wild in for today’s podcast. Greg talks to David about the idea of doing two separate podcasts, one on music, and another on tv writing. David starts off with a great story about honesty in Hollywood and a surprising response from a big shot executive regarding a deal that went all pear shaped. They talk more about the industry, and great music.
