October 17th 2006 - ER rocks in the ratings ! |
| NBC have confirmed that the planned 'ER' mid season hiatus, originally scheduled to have taken place between January and March 2007, has been abandoned. The move is in reaction to what The New York Times described as a 'stunning ratings performance' for the shows first three episodes!. (In the 18 to 49 year old audience bracket ER ranks the number four show on US television). Instead, ER will retain its current time slot for 'at least' the traditional 22 episodes The news has also called into question the widely held view that this was to be the shows penultimate season. In an interview with The NY Times Executive Producer David Zabel said "As long as we keep doing what we're doing, I don't see any reason why the show can't keep going on".

Gary Sinyor, writer and director of Parminder’s latest film project, has informed PNO that the movie is on schedule for cinema release next Spring. ‘In You Dreams’ will be the first British movie to feature Parminder since ‘Bend it like Beckham’. Filming took place this summer during the annual break in the ER shooting schedule. The acclaimed director went on to comment that “Parminder is ‘luminous’ in the film”. The news will doubtless be heartily welcomed by the significant number of ‘Parmaniacs’ who have contacted us, anxious to see Mindi back on the ‘big screen’.We will feature all the latest information and pre release buzz and build up on these pages in the coming months. The phenomenon of celebrity David Eisenthal is a prolific Massachusetts based commentator on an eclectic range of political and cultural issues. The Eisenthal Report has previously referenced Parminder in a contemplation on the plight of the ‘immigrant artist’. She is again the focal point in his post of October 11th 2006 entitled ‘The phenomenon of celebrity’. The author is a confessed 'Mindi' fan and an enthusiastic correspondent to this site.

| Okay, cards on the table time. We are not over enamored with the whole 'spoilers' thing at Parminder Nagra Online. I mean - what is the point?. Call me old fashioned but would you ask someone to recount comprehensively the storyline from beginning to end of a novel you were planning to read? Would you seek out a scene by scene preview of the movie you are about to watch before you even break open the popcorn and cola. Is it just a bit of lame oneupmanship ("I know what happens - you don't"). Here endeth the rant Suffice to say there are ER Season 13 spoilers aplenty out there - we just won't be reproducing them here - after all the clue is in the word itself. Sorry. That having been said - here comes the biggest spoiler of all. Our US visitors have a mere 6 days to wait for new Parminder / Neela action in the ER. In contrast, UK based Parmaniacs (for example) will be deprived of a legitimate access to Season 13 until scheduled broadcasts commence in January 2007!. (a considerably longer delay than was afforded to season 12). In these days of blogging, chatrooms and discussion groups, surely broadcasters can do better in theirs and all our interests. The broadcast schedule for ER season 13 differs a little from previous years. Kicking off next Thursday (September 21st) the season will be split in two, the first half running straight through to December 14th with a new episode every week with the exception of November 23rd. The second batch of episodes is projected to commence in the early spring and run through to a conclusion in June 2007. |

| September is amongst us - which can mean only one thing - the return of ER ! (well that is if you're fortunate enough to be resident in the US!) However - fear not Parmaniacs of the world - this site will bring you the 'Neela news' and analysis of season 13 as it goes to air!. Previously, on Parminder Nagra Online (i.e in the first two months of our existence) we could fairly have been accused of being somewhat neglectful of the 'ER elements' of Parminder's career - but all of that is about to change. In the next three weeks we will be bringing a whole bunch of content to the 'ER Pages' and the weekly 'ER Blog' will commence September 22nd. Please feel free to contribute your thoughts and reactions by using the Contact Form. M e a n w h i l e - back in the real world, a couple of days ago an article headed Parminder Nagra and Immigration featured in 'The Eisenthal Report'. The piece gives reference to an interview on 'The Late Late Show' in May this year in which Parminder expressed relief at receiving confirmation of being granted her 'Green Card' (some three years after beginning her gig on one of the countries top rated TV shows). The author considers the vexed question of artists in particular and others in general seeking status to live and work in the U.S. Read the David Eisenthal piece (dated August 30th 2006) by clicking here and watch Parminder's interview with Craig Ferguson in full here. |
