You all know how I feel about Tim Allen. The same goes for Nancy Travis, so you can imagine how happy I was to hear that the two of them would be together, married, on a show for ABC that reminded me of a time when HOME IMPROVEMENT was a reason to get my homework done. That show, LAST MAN STANDING, is airing episode 3 tonight, after premiere that found over 13 million viewers taking comfort in a formula we
After 8 seasons on the air, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES is winding down towards what looks to be a satisfying finish. The events of the Season 7 finale that found our original HOUSEWIVES involved in the cover up of a murder has given the series new legs to stand on in the final year, and now that Mike Delfino is in on the secret, things are sure to get even crazier. I spoke with original cast member James Denton about what’s coming
I had the chance to chat with Jeremy Sisto and Cheryl Hines from my favorite new comedy SUBURGATORY yesterday, and we laughed, hysterically, and often, about what is to come, and even without having seen a second episode, I think it’s going to sky rocket to the top of my favorite shows (not just new shows) list because this cast is GREAT! Check it out.
To gear up for tonight’s two-episode season finale of my current favorite comedy, AWKWARD. (tonight on MTV at 11/10c), I’ve been spending time chatting with the cast. Over the weekend, it was Jillian Rose Reed, who plays Jenna’s best friend Tamara. Yesterday, we posted the complete interview with Desi Lydic – Valerie, the best guidance counselor in the world. Today, it’s all about family – I talked to Nikki Deloach (Lacey, Jenna’s mom) late last week, and she spilled as
It’s all AWKWARD., all the time, this week! Looking forward to the end of season one, and looking down the road towards season two, I chatted with Desi Lydic (the genius Valerie) about her clueless, overly confident guidance counselor, and what we can expect tomorrow night, and beyond. We also touched base on how exactly Val ended up with a job… I swear I’ll talk until I’m blue in the face to anyone who will listen about how much I’m
Have I told you lately how much I love the show AWKWARD. (the period is intentional)? The show, about a young woman (Jenna) who receives a letter that basically says “buck up soldier” and when she accidentally participates in a suicide attempt, she’s famous, or rather infamous, where she had once been invisible. Adding crazy to the insane, Jenna also has a clandestine relationship with the most popular guy (guys….) in school. Her two best friends – sheltered Ming and
I first became familiar with Penny Johnson Jerald as the at first harmless wife of a Senatorial candidate on 24 and she quickly turned into one of the most deplorable and amazing characters on the show. This season, she’s bringing a little bit of that Sherry Palmer fierceness into the NYPD as the new Captain Victoria Gates on CASTLE. I had a chance to chat with Ms Johnson Jerald about what’s coming up for Monday night’s Superhero episode, and why
One of the big surprises of the 2010-2011 TV season, for me, was how hard I feel for BLUE BLOODS on CBS. Off the bat, I was drawn in because of Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg, but what I found when watching was a character drama disguised as a police procedural. I knew they’d always solve the crime of the week, but the fun thing about watching the show was, like a lot of families these days, it wasn’t always
After an hour long episode of THE MIDDLE (it’s awesome) and MODERN FAMILY (I’m sure it’s awesome), stick around for one of my favorite new shows of the season, REVENGE. The story of Amanda Clarke, the wealthy daughter of a disgraced hedge fund executive, who assumes the role of Emily Thorne, the equally as wealthy new girl in town, hellbent on exacting revenge (see what they did there) against those who ruined her family. The show stars Emily Van Camp
Tonight on CBS, CRIMINAL MINDS is getting the band back together! After a weird year that saw both AJ Cook and Paget Brewster’s characters kicked to the curb, the two are back. Not only are they back, they’re once again full-on series regulars. In anticipation of the premiere that focuses on what happens when the ladies return and that small matter of Emily’s faked death, I spent some time talking with AJ Cook about what is on tap for this
