Poodah Corner

U.Va. TV Guide

As the new fall prime-time season storms into dorm rooms and apartments, it would be derelict not to be apprised of the newest programming radiating from Sunny California. Poodah, through unnamed Hollywood insiders, has obtained the scoop on several new shows hitting the Charlottesville-Albermarle airwaves this October.
