On the last episode of Everybody Hates Chris, Chris (Tyler James Williams) helped the football team with their homework so he can hang out with the so-called cool kids, despite warnings from Greg (Vincent Martella) not to do so. This would later on result to really horrible consequences for Chris as he ended up failing his own exams, predictably so. Meanwhile, Julius (Terry Crews) began a new line of work – collecting dead bodies for Mr. Omar's funeral home. Paradoxically, he also began appreciating life more in the face of death. He ended up buying a lot of gifts for his friends and relatives but may have bit more than he could chew.

On tonight's episode of Everybody Hates Chris, the CW series will welcome guest stars Antonio Fargas and Robin Givens in an episode called “Everybody Hates Doc's.” Stacy (Givens), the obnoxious new girlfriend of Doc (Fargas) makes Chris' life a living hell.

The TCA panel with CW president Dawn Ostroff was a bit like a firing squad. Between the loss of WWE Friday Night Smackdown and two of its urban comedies and the outsourcing of Sunday nights to Media Rights Capital, Ostroff had a lot to answer for.

CW Upfronts: Smaller Fall Schedule Announced with Pretty People Everywhere

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 13 May 2008 17:52:38 GMT

The CW announced its fall schedule today and it features all good-looking people. I suppose one could make the argument that all television features good-looking people, but not to the extreme extent that the CW has taken it. You see, most of the CW's Fall schedule not only features good-looking people, the series themselves are about those people being good-looking, or at least it's a very important part of the series. There are three hours of new programming on the CW's Fall schedule, one of which may include the most highly-anticipated new series going into next season.

Before any Reaper fans go ballistic and worry about why the series isn't on the Fall schedule, don't worry. The CW has ordered 13 episodes of Reaper, which will hit the air at mid-season. There's a very good chance that it will take over Smallville's time slot at some point, but nothing is set in stone.

Becoming a celebrity can easily inflate a person's ego, and for many of today's young Hollywood stars, the danger of getting caught up in the fame and fortune is always present. Fortunately for the young stars of the CW's Everybody Hates Chris, namely Tyler James Williams, Tequan Richmond, Imani Hakim and Vincent Martella, their older costars have been quick to ensure they remain grounded as the show continues to gain success and popularity.

"The kids are great… we don't deal with any big heads on our show, at all. I don't stand for it,” series actress and comedienne Tichina Arnold told the CW Source. “On and off camera, they're still children. They have a lot of fun, and we make sure that everyday is interesting.”

The third season of Everybody Hates Chris premieres tonight on The CW, with executive producer Chris Rock making his first ever appearance on the show as the school guidance counselor, Mr. Abbott. He meets Chris when the latter is sent to his office after failing his eighth-grade exams. Instead of helping Chris, Mr. Abbott subjects him to several mental evaluations before finally concluding that he needs to take a remedial course.

Chris Rock told TV Guide the character is his own sweet revenge on all the less-than-helpful advisers who refused to keep the budding comedian past the 10th grade. “I've always found most guidance counselors kind of have one foot in and one foot out of the school," he said. "Yeah, if there's a troubled kid, I'll talk to him. Otherwise, I'm going to sit here and smoke.'"

According to TMZ, the 36-year old Bowyer was convicted of DUI in Georgia, charged with theft by deception last summer and is presently facing charges of running an intricate cell phone scam. In addition, she was also involved with more than ten incident reports and a number of strange encounters with the police. At one point, she was even held at gunpoint and was forced to “ingest some white powder,” a story in which her 13-year old son disagreed with when he was questioned. To add further complications, Bowyer was also engaged with numerous bad checks and domestic disturbances, which prompted the police to doubt Bowyer’s claim and declaration that Rock is the father of her child.
