New Line giveth and USA Network taketh away

The good news for uber-geeks is, of course, that Peter Jackson's going to be helming two Hobbit flicks -- and I think you have to score The Golden Compass with the assist here, because without that films underwhelming domestic box office, I don't think New Line would've reconciled quite so quickly and enthusiastically. Still, whatever the impetus, good news, I think.

Not so much if you're a fan of either The 4400 or The Dead Zone, as both're canceled. Sorry, gang.
