Netflix promises that shows it recommends for adult subscribers will no longer include content meant for kids in the house. Or vice versa.  A new profiles feature on the Internet net, which provides show suggestions based on past viewing, will allow five separate profiles for each subscriber at no extra cost. “Now everyone in your home can have their own Netflix experience, built around TV shows and movies they enjoy,” said Netflix chief product officer Neil Hunt.

The only American Idol judge left standing after a season that was a critical and ratings disappointment isn’t going anywhere. “Keith [Urban] is going to return to the show,” FOX chief Kevin Reilly revealed at the TCA. “The fans really like him.” That leaves at least two spots to fill, with Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj out after just one season of squabbling, and Randy Jackson taking his leave after twelve. Reilly said the show is looking for “some comfortable judges to make it comfortable to view.”

Turning to Glee, Reilly confirmed that the late Corey Monteith‘s Glee character, Finn, will be written out in the show’s third episode. “That episode will deal directly with the incidents involved with Cory’s passing and the drug abuse in particular,” said Reilly (Monteith was found dead of a drug overdose on July 13). In addition, the cast will film public service announcements that “speak directly to the audience.” Season five of the series premieres Thursday, September 26 at 9p, a week later than originally scheduled. As for season six, Reilly told the Hollywood Reporter it would probably be the show’s last. “If we discover a new crop of kids and there’s some breakout, who knows,” he hedged. “But right now we’re thinking about two seasons.”
