Caveman & scholar Cirroc was kind enough to learn how to type and leave news in my last article's comment section regarding a new motion picture that's apparently in development. It's called "24" which has lead some industry-watchers to theorize that comedian Steve Martin is going back to his much-lauded "Cheaper By The Dozen" film series to add further to this enduring tale with a second marriage and another 12 kids. Bonnie Hunt's character is undoubtedly dead in this sequel. Or, and this is a long-shot, this is a film that will continue the television series "24" which…

Fancy a TARDIS Cat Playhouse for that special someone?
Tellyspotting26 Jan 2012 | 12:05 amAnother one of those “too good to pass up” finds that one feels obligated to share. A quick thanks goes out to Bruce Gunn and The Mary Sue for the original find and, ultimately, pointing us in the right direction to dig a bit deeper into this very special project. As the story goes, back in 2005, Astromark, a frequent contributor of the TARDIS Builders forums, began constructing a miniature TARDIS for a very special member of the household, the family kitten, Kaylee. Pretty simple, when you think about it. Cats love boxes so, what’s not to love about the Doctor’s mode… -

Augment Your Reality With Daleks!
Kasterborous Doctor Who News26 Jan 2012 | 6:08 amWhen Doctor Who first started nearly fifty years ago, spin off merchandise that was official or otherwise was hardly the best. There was the Doctor Who Annual and later the Target range of novelizations and the birth of good old Doctor Who Magazine. But games and toys were not the strongest output to come from the show. But with the technological era that we now live in and embrace we also get a myriad of Who related games that would leave a child from the 1960’s speechless (probably). One such technical marvel is a Doctor Who augmented reality game that will be released on smartphone’s… -

Spartacus, Episode 1: The Things That Made Us Go "Ew!"
27 Jan 2012 | 10:32 pmRun! Spartacus and his rebels are on the loose! In the Season 2 premiere of Spartacus: Vengeance, we see that no Roman is safe — not even those spending their hard-earned coin at a brothel! It's war between Spartacus' unwashed gang and the Romans, mainly Gaius Claudius Glaber and new pup Seppius, whom we foresee will be equally annoying and entertaining. Also, what's with the Folgers-ad-worthy banter and chemistry between him and his sister Seppia? Meanwhile... Read More >Other Links From TVGuide.com SpartacusLiam McIntyre -
Is HBO's Horse-Racing Series Luck a Big Gamble?
27 Jan 2012 | 9:59 pmPick Six. Furlong. Backstretch. Quinella. Trifecta. Daily Double. These are just a few of the racetrack terms that may be thrown around in HBO's new horse-racing series Luck, which premieres Sunday at 9/8c. From executive producers David Milch and Michael Mann, the gritty show looks at the owners, jockeys and the degenerate gamblers in the horse-racing world. While the lingo, the setting and the overall story line may feel alien to those who don't frequent one of the more than 100 racetracks around the United States, Milch, the man behind Deadwood and NYPD Blue, says that shouldn't deter… -

The Good Wife Gets "Out of Control": 7 Teases From Will's Big Judgment Day
27 Jan 2012 | 5:12 pmThe Good Wife is going to battle in court, but this time, it's Will (Josh Charles) who will be on the stand and fighting for his innocence. On Sunday's episode, airing at 9/8c on CBS, Wendy Scott-Carr finally brings her accusations of judicial bribery against him to a grand jury. If he's indicted, Will could face up to seven years in the slammer so, suffice it to say, there's a lot on the line.

TV Show Recaps - Project Runway All Stars Recap: "Patterning for Piggy"

In this universe, the host speaks unaccented English, the mentor reminds you of your scary aunt and the judges are relatively toothless. We miss Heidi, Tim, Nina and Michael! They've broken out the big star power for the challenge this episode: design a flamboyant cocktail-inspired red carpet dress for none other than Miss Piggy! This is the best challenge ever. Thankfully, all the designers are properly reverent, and I'm sure Oliver from last season is relieved he's not an All Star so he won't have to design for her… -

Mob Wives' Big Ang once convicted of dealing cocaine
27 Jan 2012 | 4:46 pmMob Wives star Angela Raiola, aka "Big Ang," was once a cocaine dealer who was indicted and convicted for selling cocaine in New York nine years ago. The Smoking Gun reports that she "was one of 15 defendants indicted--and later convicted--for their roles in the narcotics operation, which distributed crack cocaine, powdered cocaine, and marijuana in Brooklyn and Manhattan," adding that "Federal agents described Raiola as an associate of the drug ring's leader."

And Toddlers & Tiaras is like a trainwreck and fascinating to watch. But they also have kids who don't deserve to be publicly humiliated, even if they're sometimes little brats. Would you have wanted your childhood's worst moments broadcast to the world and mocked by people online and elsewhere? In a Daily Beast essay, I make that argument. I do struggle with this,…

The comedian - who aimed a number of crude jokes at celebrities in the audience when he fronted the event in Los Angeles on Sunday - has instructed his agent not to let him present the ceremony for a fourth time because he doesn't enjoy the prestigious hosting role until the evening is over. Writing on his official blog, Ricky - who came under fire after insulting several celebrities in the audience while hosting the spectacle in 2011 - said, "Thank f**k that's over. I had a blast actually. It was by far my favorite of the… -
The Biggest Loser Recap: The Season of No Excuses Begins
5 Jan 2012 | 11:06 pmNo excuses!! How many times did that need to be said last night? The first episode of the 'season of no excuses' started with the usual introductions, including all of the participant names, ages, and relationship between the teammates. Alison stood in front of the gates of the ranch and let everyone know they were just about to enter the place where dreams come true (isn’t that Disney’s line?), that the tools they need to get healthy are behind these gates, and - most importantly - it is where they can get their lives back. A few of the contestants gave… -

The episode, titled "Yes/No," will feature Matthew's character Mr. Schuester and Jayma May's Emma prominently. "Helen recorded several long, hilarious monologues recently.

The stand-up comic-and-actor has agreed a deal with cable network FX to present the series on which Russell will give his "unvarnished, unfiltered take on current events, politics and pop culture." "We're very excited to add Russell Brand's bracingly funny, original, and honest voice to the FX comedy line-up.

Answering questions and dispelling myths
27 Jan 2012 | 7:54 amHello from somewhere between Australia and New Zealand. You can follow my progress on Twitter if you're bored enough. Just go here. Never standing down from my blog watch, even from the end of the earth, here are Friday Questions: RockGolf is up first: According to EW.com, there are plans underway for a TV series based on Romancing the Stone. Since you & your partner largely re-wrote the script for the original, can see it working as a regular series?We re-wrote the sequel, JEWEL OF THE NILE. Big difference. I see no reason why it wouldn’t work if they… -
Writing advice you might not want to hear
26 Jan 2012 | 7:59 amSince I can't think of an appropriate photo...This is one of those Friday Questions that deserves a separate post. It’s from Chad (even though he admits that that is not his real name). My question is about crafting and selling scripts. You mention that story credit goes to the person who submits the episode outline. I realize this is a necessary part of the process in getting each story told...but I'm not really an outline kind of writer. I jot down some relevant notes/lines/jokes and then head into the first draft, which is where the story really takes shape. Writing the entire… -
Is anybody really listening?
25 Jan 2012 | 7:55 amWhen network ratings are low we always joke that “no one is watching”. And by nobody we mean probably a million. And yes, when that number was more like fifteen million for even low rated shows, one million seems paltry. On a smaller scale is radio. Even when you’re a small station playing informercials for colon cleanser you always assume there is somebody listening. This theory has been put to the test.Back in 1988 I was broadcasting minor league baseball for the mighty Syracuse Chiefs (the then-AAA affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays). I had a great partner, Dan Hoard (now the voice… -
R.I.P. Dick Tufeld
24 Jan 2012 | 7:53 amOne of the great all-time voices has been silenced. Dick Tufeld passed away. For many years in the 50’s & 60’s he was the voice of Disney, a gazillion movie trailers, two gazillion variety shows, and the Academy Awards. He would always finish the closing announcements and say, “This is Dick Tufeld speaking.” I’m sure many people thought “Speaking” was his last name and “Tufeld” his middle. You might know him as the voice of the robot in LOST IN SPACE. No one ever made more money saying, “Danger! Danger!”He was a longtime friend of the family. Only once did I impose… -
Short-sighted casting
23 Jan 2012 | 7:57 amIn a follow up to a Friday Question from ChicagoJohn (who wondered if we had ever passed on an actor who later became a big star and did we have any regrets?), a few more names have come to mind.And one rather unusual incident. Especially in light of my post on how difficult it is to land a part in a TV series. Like I had said, when you pass on good actors it’s generally because they’re just not right for the particular roles. We passed on Lisa Edelstein (but hired her for something else). We passed on one actress but made a note that she’s really funny and we should…

The project is set up at New Regency, whose principal, Arnon Milchan, previously adapted the Grisham novels A Time To Kill, The Client and Runaway Jury, back in the day when Grisham was getting up to $8 million for movie rights to his legal thrillers.

If Hancock commits to that film, he’ll do… -
Quartet Of Dramas Still In Contention At Fox, But Will The Network Pick Up More Pilots?
27 Jan 2012 | 4:30 pmIt’s been more than a week since Fox greenlighted its last drama pilot, and the long pause has been nerve-wracking for all writers and producers with hourlong scripts at the network. Back at TCA, Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly indicated that his plan was to pick up five drama pilots, so speculation has been rampant about which project would join the four already picked up: 2 shows about female spies, one from Karyn Usher and one from Josh Friedman; the Marc Guggenheim/Greg Berlanti legal drama Guilty; and a serial killer drama by Kevin Williamson. Over the past week, four… -

SAG Awards: We predict Sunday's big TV winners
27 Jan 2012 | 4:06 pmSAG loves to boast about the size of its voting membership. (Nearly 100,000 final ballots served!) Next year, though, when it randomly picks 2,100 members to choose nominees on the television side, it might want to somehow find a few who actually … you know … watch TV. That way, we wouldn’t be asking, “What the heck is ‘Suits’ and why are you nominating Patrick J. Adams for lead actor in a drama?" (No offense, he’s Canadian, so we’re sure he’s a nice guy and all.) Now that we’ve unloaded that burden, let’s figure out who, apart from Mr. Adams, might win the Actor on… -

With Miracle Day now a distant memory, we await more adventures of Captain Jack Harkness and Gwen Cooper with our fingers crossed… despite National Television Awards nominations for the show’s stars. Although a ratings winner on the BBC and for the US channel Starz, there are definitely no plans for a new series in 2012 and no rumours of one in 2013 either. But then again, Torchwood is the younger cousin of Doctor Who and what with the fiftieth anniversary taking place next year, anything… -

Augment Your Reality With Daleks!

There was the Doctor Who Annual and later the Target range of novelizations and the birth of good old Doctor Who Magazine. But games and toys were not the strongest output to come from the show. But with the technological era that we now live in and embrace we also get a myriad of Who related games that would leave a child from the 1960’s speechless (probably). One such technical marvel is a Doctor Who augmented reality game that will be released on smartphone’s…

We Sit Down with MERLIN’s Knights of the Round Table

For one cannot rule without the love and loyalty of a kingdom’s sovereigns and the knights willing to fight at your side. So Arthur would be but a man with a title without the stalwart support and strength of his knights. In a recent conference call with press, co-stars Tom Hopper, Eoin Macken, Rupert Young, and Adetomiwa Edun who portray the dashing Knights of the Round Table on MERLIN happily shared what is upcoming on the fun, fantasy series.

Wasn't the answer Sarah got so much better than an upload from Intersect glasses? I'll go on record right away as saying that I was very pleased with the "Chuck" finale, and I think the last 30 minutes of the final episode rank up there with the absolute best the show has ever done.

We're really digging Mercedes (Amber Riley) and Sam's (Chord Overstreet) sweet "Human Nature" duet, and Artie (Kevin McHale) "Scream"-worthy track with Mike (Harry Shum Jr.). "Black and White" is also a standout track, and surprisingly not one of the tracks that lead vocalist McHale pitched to Ryan Murphy and the writers.

Is There Something Katherine Heigl Didn't Miss About 'Grey's'?

In several interviews, the former medical drama star discussed her regrets about leaving the show and spoke emotionally about how much she misses the cast and playing her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens. Friday on "Rachael Ray" (weekdays on ABC), Heigl reiterated many of those same sentiments, but also mentioned one "Grey's" episode she didn't mind missing: last season's widely-panned musical."I watched the musical episode, which I thought was so fun, and it was crazy to… -

27 Jan 2012 | 10:19 amNo one can put a precise date on when ABC News started. But it was in 1962 that the network established an assignment desk and newsgathering capabilities: the guts of a TV news organization. And so today, ABCNewsers celebrated 50 years of providing news and information to American homes (and now workplaces and mobile devices). Employees packed ABC’s TV Studios 1 (former home of “Who Wants to Be Millionaire” and 2 (current home of “The Chew”) which were festooned with images of ABC News anchors and reporters past and present. In addition to hundreds who packed the… -
Watch Out Other TV News Outlets: CNN Wants To Trademark Its ‘Magic Wall’
27 Jan 2012 | 9:28 amCNN has long featured technological gadgetry in its programming, but none has been as successful as its “Magic Wall,” popularized by John King during the 2008 primaries. The multi-touch display has been so successful that essentially every other live TV news outlet–from ESPN to CNBC–followed in CNN’s footsteps and has one or two, and use them with regularity. Now, however, it appears that the channel wants to make sure that the “Magic Wall” is for CNN use only. Earlier this month the channel applied for a trademark on the term “Magic Wall”…

Blip's Steve Woolf: Web Video Success Comes from Targeting "Narrow Niches"
27 Jan 2012 | 7:23 pmLAS VEGAS - Steve Woolf, VP of Content for Blip.tv, says that success in creating original Web video content comes from targeting and connecting with "narrow niches" of special interest groups. We caught up with him earlier this month at the International Academy of Web Television Awards at CES. Blip.tv won the IAWTV Award for best video platform. While the win wasn't a true industry triumph as neither YouTube or Vimeo were nominated, it was a clear acknowledgment by the Academy for the big video site's role in cultivating so many aspiring web creators. The site served 300 million… -

Zappo TV Launches on Androids, Pushes Content to Smart TVs
26 Jan 2012 | 3:09 pmLAS VEGAS -- Video discovery/consumer media management platform Zappo TV is pushing out music, photos and videos from mobile phones to a number of connected TVs, said Jan Van Ottele, founder and CEO of Zappo TV during an interview at CES. Zappo TV just lauched on Android phones. Its mobile application "scans" the house to find the Internet-connected TV so users can play videos or other content on the TV set without changing the settings on the TV, he said. Zappo TV lets users play music, videos, photos and other content via Android or Apple phones across a number of connected TV sets. Van… -

A Pre-Thanksgiving Day Treat: Macy's Parade Balloons Up Close
24 Nov 2011 | 2:00 amKermit the Frog Last night I did something I’ve always wanted to do. That’s head over to Central Park West around 79th street, the night before Thanksgiving and watch as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons are inflated. I’d never done it before so when I got the opportunity to go behind the scenes with a group of fellow bloggers, courtesy of Macy’s, I jumped at the chance. B. Boy in Progress Our small group met on Columbus Avenue and 75th street around 4 o’clock and were greeted with a steady drizzle but excited tourists and New Yorkers, eager to get a preview of the big… -
Billy Crystal will Host the 2012 Oscars
11 Nov 2011 | 9:46 amNo sooner did I tell you guys that Eddie Murphy was out as Oscar host, than Billy Crystal announced via Twitter that he will indeed be back to host the Oscars in 2012. That sound you hear is the Academy breathing a huge sigh of relief. It'll be Billy's 9th go 'round as host and what do you want to bet there'll be an Eddie Murphy cameo as well? The 2012 Academy Awards will air on February 26th on ABC. -
Eddie Murphy Drops Oscar Hosting Gig
10 Nov 2011 | 1:32 pmEddie Murphy (l.) stars in director Brett Ratner's new film, 'Tower Heist.' Image courtesy: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Like many movie fans, I was pretty jazzed when the Academy announced that Eddie Murphy was going to host the 84th annual Oscar telecast in 2012. Let's face it Eddie deserved the gig 'cause: He's made Hollywood a fortune with movies like, "Beverly Hills Cop," "48 Hours," and "Shrek." He was robbed, cheated, and rooked with a capital "R" out of that Best Supporting Actor statue for his first class turn in the film "Dreamgirls." He can be incredibly funny. But what… -

The original story was reported by Steve Hartman on CBS's Sunday Morning: They were so close, in fact, that when Bella got injured a few years ago and had to spend three weeks recuperating in the sanctuary office, guess who held vigil the entire time? Twenty-two hundred acres to roam free, and Tarra just stood in the corner waiting. Home video of their reunion shows how inseparable they'd become and…

Alcatraz! & Touch
26 Jan 2012 | 10:18 amMy DVR most likely hates me. It does its duty, and does it well, but I just keep adding more and more shows to it. I wouldn’t be surprized if it slides itself off the television one night and strangles me in my sleep. JJ Abrams can do just about anything and I will tune in with fangirly glee. I am that easy. I do, however, have the sense to expect a big pile of crap along with my glee. No point in having wild expectations, only to have them dashed against The Rock. Three episodes of Alcatraz have aired so far, and I am finding it pretty entertaining. We have a secret lair (which… -

20 Jan 2012 | 4:31 pmDear Supernatural, I hate episodes where those shiny Winchester brothers are separated almost the whole time. Please cease and desist with these storylines and let those boys hunt together as intended. Love and Kisses, Erika Ahem. I am gonna breeze through the first episode after the winter break, because it was just okay, and I want to start the drool-fest over ‘Time After Time After Time’. We start off ‘Adventures in Babysitting’ with a couple weeks of the SadWinchesters mourning the loss of their surrogate dad, Bobby. It is a nice little tribute, and I have to say I… -
H50 Episode Recalls Real-Life Case
12 Dec 2011 | 9:03 pmBy Stu Robinson, Season 2, Episode 11 of CBS’ new Hawaii Five-0 draws heavily from a real-life 1976 school bus kidnapping in Chowchilla, Calif., in which the hostages were placed underground in the back of a buried truck. The real-life hostages eventually managed to climb out and get help. In the TV version, it’s Five-0 to the rescue. The episode is what I’ve called a “pursuit” episode – and it’s a roller-coaster ride as McGarrett and crew tie the crime to a recent cocaine bust and race to find the hostages before the drug gang kills them. The brief… -
Supernatural: A Turducken Slammer & Other Awful Things
8 Dec 2011 | 2:30 pmNaNoWriMo and then a five-day trip to Toronto got me all backed up over here. Sometimes I don’t write when I hate an episode, but I liked both “How to Win Friends” and “Death’s Door”, so let’s get to it, shall we? Episode 7.09 was written by my favorite Supernatural writer, Ben Edlund. I love how he veers from ridiculous to horrifying so easily, and makes me believe every second of it. So we start out with the mauling of a non-camper camper type (I believe in tents and sleeping bags on the ground when you camp, that’s how we did it when I was a… -
McGarrett Goes off the Reservation
22 Nov 2011 | 9:41 pmBy Stu Robinson, The teaser the end of last week’s show said it all about Season 2, Episode 10 of CBS’ new Hawaii-Five-0: Jenna Kaye! Wo Fat! North Korea! Jimmy Buffett flying a helicopter! Drama? Sure. Action? Hell yes! Plot advancement? Finally. Plausibility? Zero, zilch, bupkis. Jenna Kaye (Larisa Oleynik) lures McGarrett to North Korea, ostensibly to ransom her fiancé, whom she said was being held by rebels. Viewers already know that Jenna is a weasel, having seen her drive a getaway car for Wo Fat (Mark Dacascos) at the end of the season premiere. So McGarrett is the only…

It's good manners to say where you've been when having been silent for such a long time. Here it is: I was at work being a lawyer. My friends and family can confirm this statement. I was… -
24 Movie News: Sutherland Declares He's "Back In Sack!"
10 Jan 2012 | 4:47 amCaveman & scholar Cirroc was kind enough to learn how to type and leave news in my last article's comment section regarding a new motion picture that's apparently in development. It's called "24" which has lead some industry-watchers to theorize that comedian Steve Martin is going back to his much-lauded "Cheaper By The Dozen" film series to add further to this enduring tale with a second marriage and another 12 kids. Bonnie Hunt's character is undoubtedly dead in this sequel. Or, and this is a long-shot, this is a film that will continue the television series "24" which… -

This time around, suspect of everything at this point, Stu (Ed Helms) doesn't even want a bachelor party, and it's only by way of a guilt trip that Alan (Zach Galifianakis) is allowed to come to the wedding at all. In fact, Stu is so paranoid that he doesn't want to leave his finacee's side, and is only willing to have one beer with the guys, because he opens it himself. Of course, it would be an awfully short movie if they didn't wake up in outrageous… -
Friends With Kids Trailer Released
12 Jan 2012 | 11:11 amHitting theaters on March 9th is not only what looks to be a great movie, with a brilliant cast, but a film you can real cheer for just based on the writer/director. Friends with Kids is written and directed by Jennifer Westfeldt, and while being in a relationship with Mad Men's Jon Hamm for more than a decade probably doesn't hurt your career, she broke out as both a writer and actress with 2001's uber-indie Kissing Jessica Stein. Not just a quirky charmer, that film has gone on to manage almost a cult status. She also wrote and starred in the horribly overlooked Ira & Abby in 2006, and… -
The Finder Review – FOX
11 Jan 2012 | 11:37 amA couple of FOX's big shows, mainly Bones and Fringe, have outstayed their welcome really, but Bones is at least trying to provide some more entertainment for its fans, sort of. Billed to some extent as a spin-off, despite having no justifiable claim to the idea, The Finder may nevertheless turn into a hit based on some theory we might connect to the general idea of spin-offs. Generally speaking, having a show put together already, and then having characters from that show guest star on an already existing show does not magically turn the new show into a spin-off. However, there is something…

43 Things I Care About More Than The Series Finale Of ‘Chuck’
27 Jan 2012 | 4:28 pmTonight lies the two-hour series finale of Chuck. It’s a show an retail employee who is a government operative (or something) and has teetered on the verge of cancellation for most of its existence. Teetering no more, after tonight it will be shoved off the ledge of “running TV show” into the abyss of “cancelled TV shows. With no (or minimal) disrespect, I have seen a lot of articles discussing the importance and sigificance of the Chuck series finale tonight at 8 PM on NBC. They only tell half the story. I would like to cater to non-Chuck fans with these piece by… -
Shock: Biologist Calls Bullsh*t On Wolves In ‘The Grey’
27 Jan 2012 | 3:25 pmStop the presses (do they still have presses?)! It appears that the wolf behavior depicted in The Grey isn’t very real at all! And Gary Wiles, a biologist for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, wants the world to know that. In the film, which hits theaters today, Liam Neeson‘s character must survive in the Alaskan wilderness, staving off feral wolves. Despite the presence of over 60,000 wolves in the US, only two wolf-related deaths are on record, which is probably like only 20% of the wolf-related deaths featured in The Grey. From Spokesman.com: “The facts are so…

Cougar Town Is Coming Back in February!
26 Jan 2012 | 11:00 pmI recently learned that one of my favorite shows, Cougar Town, is finally coming back to ABC! It has been on a long hiatus and I doubted that it would ever come back.

If you have never seen the show, or don't want to watch a show called "Cougar Show" I urge you to change your mind! Here is a best of clip from the show!Am I the only Cougar Town lover?!? -

26 Jan 2012 | 12:05 amAnother one of those “too good to pass up” finds that one feels obligated to share. A quick thanks goes out to Bruce Gunn and The Mary Sue for the original find and, ultimately, pointing us in the right direction to dig a bit deeper into this very special project. As the story goes, back in 2005, Astromark, a frequent contributor of the TARDIS Builders forums, began constructing a miniature TARDIS for a very special member of the household, the family kitten, Kaylee. Pretty simple, when you think about it. Cats love boxes so, what’s not to love about the Doctor’s mode… -
Creating Sherlock’s 221b Baker Street “home”
25 Jan 2012 | 12:10 amIn previous weeks, we’ve noted the painstaking efforts that writers Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss and Steve Thompson went through to bring us television brilliance. Also, to no one’s surprise, the endless hours of prep the actors put in outside of just “learning their lines” to get it just right are well-documented. Benedict Cumberbatch not only learned to play the violin, but wanted to master every single nuance that one would expect from a true master of the violin such as how you hold the instrument, how you pick it up, put it down, etc. That said, there are hundreds,… -
Is Sophia Myles the new companion for Doctor Who?
24 Jan 2012 | 12:05 amAs we all know, one of the top trending hash tags on Twitter every so often seems to center around either who will be the Doctor’s new companion or the obvious most popular topic to trend being who the next Traveling Time Lord will be. Remembering that current Doctor Who show runner, Steven Moffat, is the one that, quite possibly, secretly planted a TARDIS in the Baskerville moors, this may nothing more than the fanning of the internet flames but, a very cryptic tweet appeared recently suggesting that people should follow Sophia Myles’ Twitter feed, and that he would explain…

Bad Girls Club Las Vegas: Is the cast of Bad Girls Club bad enough for a DVR season pass? 5 Deciding Factors
23 Jan 2012 | 7:25 pmBad Girls Club Las Vegas When it comes to trashy reality tv Bad Girls Club takes the cake. If you love trashy reality shows which make you question whether our society is evolving or devolving you will love this series. We love to watch this series because it gives us a chance to feel superior and serves as a cautionary tale for us. For us the show is like Beyond Scared Straight. We watch it because it gives us an opportunity to see the type of bad decisions we should avoid. We also kind of love the Lord of the Flies element of the series. The only problem with the Bad Girls Club (besides the… -

23 Jan 2012 | 4:22 pmPretty Little Liars: Best Cure for the Monday Blues What’s the best cure for the Monday blues? Pretty Little Liars. For us, Mondays at its worse used to be a day we dreaded. At best it was a day we tolerated. Pretty Little Liars changed all that. Now that Pretty Little Liars is back, Monday is one of our favorite days of the week. We can’t wait for this week’s episode of Pretty Little Liars. During the winter premiere episode of Pretty Little Liars, Toby promised Spencer he would never give up on her.

Chuck ‘Chuck vs Sarah’ & ‘Chuck vs the Goodbye’ review: Don’t freak out
27 Jan 2012 | 10:11 pmChuck (Zachary Levi) and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) during the final moments of 'Chuck' “I’m working on a five year plan; just gotta choose a font.” —Chuck, “Pilot” It’s twenty minutes past ten, when the final moments of Chuck aired on television and I still find my heart in my throat, my hands shaking, and adrenaline coursing through my veins. I could pick out every scene of this two hour finale, piece by piece, and tell you what I liked or didn’t like but that would be absolutely moot. But just in case you wanted to know: I loved every… -
Goodbye Chuck: 5 reasons I will cry tonight
27 Jan 2012 | 2:57 pmI can hardly believe that the end is here: Chuck will air its two-hour series finale later tonight and end an epic five seasons (true in ever sense of the word). It’s daunting to even conceive that notion. Chuck has been a weekly staple in my life for only a couple of years, but somehow I feel like it’s the end of a lifelong era for me. Chuck wasn’t the first show I obsessed over, but it certainly feels like the only show I have ever loved so dearly as I do, the only show I will defend against anything or anyone. And having this be the second time I’ve watched a… -
The Big Bang Theory 5.14 ‘The Beta Test Initiation’ review: Hey, Sexy
27 Jan 2012 | 2:38 pmFinally! A hilarious episode of The Big Bang Theory – about damn time. The last couple of episodes have made me skeptical about one of my favorite shows on TV today, but last night’s episode reminded me why I fell in love with the show in the first place: Its geekiness. Sheldon spends almost the entire episode filming a video podcast with Amy about flags, yes flags. And it’s hilarious. Sheldon’s naivety about the world around him makes everything perfect. I just LOLed at every scene with Sheldon this episode (like always), especially the last one with him as a Bavarian… -

Poll: Who do you think is Gossip Girl?
27 Jan 2012 | 9:54 amSo late last night, I made a stupid post speculating that the Gossip Girl showrunners were going to reveal who the titular character was during the show’s epic 100th episode. Then, I revealed that I sincerely thought it would be the real Charlie Rhodes. The only problem with that is that Charlie hasn’t been a character for a long time, and real Charlie hasn’t even been on the show for more than one minute collectively. (You know, unless she’s really Gossip Girl that is…) But, what I should have been asking is the following: Who do you think is Gossip Girl? Or even…

Chuck Vs. The Post Mortem: Show Bosses Spill Series Finale Secrets, Say There's More to Come
27 Jan 2012 | 9:00 pmThe following Q&A contains major spoilers from Friday night’s series finale of NBC’s Chuck. Well, Chuck me. It’s all over. NBC’s beloved spy comedy wrapped up its five-year run on Friday night, with a first hour that was full of thrills and chills and a second episode that, in the very end, was full of heart. Which finale scene was set in stone a while back? What hidden “Easter eggs” might watchful fans have caught? And perhaps most critically, what should we make of that closing scene? Series creators Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak answer those questions… -

M’kay?”: “Many Coloradans trying to buy tickets to see The Book of Mormon when they went on sale Sunday probably discovered what state Rep.

Fringe, "Forced Perspective": the candle that burns twice as bright

Two weeks ago, any newcomers to Fringe were likely left… -
Spartacus: Vengeance - cast talks nudity, destiny, and backbiting characters
27 Jan 2012 | 4:44 pmThe second season of Spartacus returns with a Vengeance (bad, we know) as the slaves led by Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) look to push their uprising against the Roman Republic forward, while those corrupt members of the Republic are ready to flatten the revolt with a very heavy sandal. Of course there’s plenty of personal drama to focus on too as favorites like Lucretia (Lucy Lawless) who is attempting to claw her way out of the gutter again in the aftermath of her husband’s murder (the missed John Hannah’s Batiatus). Lucretia’s friend-now-foe Ilithyia (Viva… -
Touch, "Pilot": a raw beauty
27 Jan 2012 | 3:24 pmQuick Take: Touch, "Pilot"Mysteries and connections that both astound and produce real chills. Review: Touch, "Pilot"(S0101) On the surface, Kiefer Sutherland’s new show, Touch, might simply appear to be a reincarnation of 24’s Jack Bauer into the body of a blue collar New York dad, a guy who seemingly goes through life with as much mirth as his former Spy vs. Spy persona. His character, Martin Bohm, is a 9/11 widower and father of a non-communicative 11-year-old boy, Jake. Besides being a Fox drama, Touch has other similarities to 24. In the pilot, there’s a… -

Its infectious infant charm is hard to ignore, but it needs some bringing up before being able to make it on its own in the world. Community is the somewhat-outcast youth, clever beyond its years with potential for greatness, yet largely overlooked and… -

The Shortest Running Shows on TV Ever
18 Jan 2012 | 10:12 amThe Internet is replete with examples of television shows so bad that they never made it past the first episode. Some of these debacles sounded promising, like 1979s Co-Ed Fever, which aimed to capitalize on the popularity of National Lampoon’s Animal House. Others – like Heil Honey, I’m Home, a sitcom that followed the hilarious hijinks of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun as they butted heads with their Jewish neighbors – seemed doomed from inception. In the sea of one-and-done broadcasts that compose bad television’s aristocracy, however, only two shows have the… -

From “Sesame Street” to “Blues Clues,” media companies have developed a variety of shows that appeal to young children. But do these programs really help kids learn? Although some experts argue that watching television can be dangerous for early childhood development, scientific evidence suggests that certain television programs can play a key role in childhood education. “Sesame Street,” initially broadcast in the United States in 1969,…
