Steve Chiotakis talks with John Horn of the Los Angeles Times about Steven Spielberg's terrible, horrible no good, very bad week. In television, three series he produces are in trouble. Fox canceled his expensive sci-fi show, Terra Nova, leaving the producers to try to sell it to another outlet. According the the Hollywood Reporter, that outlet could be Netflix but it's a big price tag. Meanwhile, ABC's The River -- a paranormal series set in the Amazon -- and NBC's Smash -- the heavily promoted backstage at a Broadway musical show -- are both faltering in the ratings. And Spielberg's Dreamworks has a film coming out this weekend -- A Thousand Words, starring Eddie Murphy-- that does not promise to do well at all. (Kim Masters is away.)
