Jack McBrayer previews Dr Goodwin’s return to THE MIDDLE

On tonight’s all new episode of THE MIDDLE, Frankie gets mistaken for a doctor while running errands in her lab coat, and finds herself receiving special treatment.  More time at work means a return visit from Frankie’s new boss, Dr Goodwin, played, hilariously, by familiar-face Jack McBrayer. I spent some time chatting with Jack about tonight’s episode, what comes next for Dr Goodwin, what comes next for Jack, and what he’s spending time watching when he gets some free time!

Molly Quinn previews CASTLE’s “shocking” season finale

Tonight on ABC, CASTLE’s 5th season comes to a shocking conclusion – with a lot more questions raised than answered. The show was recently picked up for a 6th season, and to celebrate the finale and renewal, I spent some time chatting with Alexis Castle herself, Molly Quinn, about what’s coming up tonight, her possibly controversial take on Caskett, and what she remembers most from her 100+ episodes of the show! I put a call out for questions today and

On Location with HAWAII FIVE-0

When I recently chatted with Jim Triplett, Location Manager for Hawaii Five-0, I found that finding locations for the series is not all peaches ‘n cream – or pineapples ‘n spam – or well, you get the picture. Life Is Not A Beach One of the things I discovered was that you don’t always get what you want in the land of make believe. Triplett told me about a snag he encountered prior to the shooting of episode 2.22 of

Nora Kirkpatrick: The Hidden Talents of the GREEK / THE OFFICE Actress

Some people are simply “gifted” in their craft.  There’s no other way to describe them. Nora Kirkpatrick is one of those people. Enter The Office I recently spoke with Kirkpatrick about her role in the last season of The Office, on which she plays Dwight’s new love interest, Esther. Kirkpatrick told me she found out about the job through her agent and thought the addition of the character was a twist in the series to perhaps provide a bit of

Laurie Fortier Brings Marie Godfrey to Netflix and HEMLOCK GROVE

Just outside Pittsburgh lies the town of Hemlock Grove – in the fictional world of Netflix, that is. And Laurie Fortier is excited to be a part of that world. A New Opportunity When I recently had the chance to chat with her, Fortier told me, “Being on Netflix gave the producers and writers of Hemlock Grove a freedom that radiated down through them to us, the crew.  Moreover, as an actor, being on Netflix gave me permission to twist

Leah Remini previews FAMILY TOOLS on ABC

We all know Leah Remini – from a sassy no-nonsense second in command at a summer resort called Malibu Sands to almost a decade married to the KING OF QUEENS, she’s been a constant presence on our TV sets over the years.  Tonight on ABC, we get to see her latest jump into the comedy waters.  Her latest show, FAMILY TOOLS (8:30c/7:30c), follows a handy-man (JK Simmons) with a successful home improvement company that finds himself passing the reins over

Kyle Bornheimer and Edi Gathegi chat FAMILY TOOLS

Tonight, nestled between THE MIDDLE and MODERN FAMILY (8:30/7:30c), check out the premiere of FAMILY TOOLS. The story of a handy-man who has a heart attack and decides to let his former-seminary-school-attending son take over the family business stars Kyle Bornheimer, JK Simmons, Leah Remini, and Edi Gathegi – it’s a great look at family and I found myself laughing a bit more with each episode.  I spent some time chatting with Kyle and Edi about what’s coming up tonight

David Faustino talks “Bud-Bundy-esque” qualities and BAD SAMARITANS

You remember David Faustino.  He played Bud Bundy in Married with Children. Nowadays, Faustino is playing a new character with similar traits, something he calls “Bud Bundy-esque” qualities, for Netflix. Bud Bundy II? The character’s name is Dax Wendell, the series Bad Samaritans. Wendell resembles Bundy on several fronts.  Says Faustino, “Bud Bundy was obviously a character who wanted to be loved and wanted to be respected, and never was.  And the same goes for Dax Wendell.  I think there

Chandra Wilson previews an all new GREY’S ANATOMY

On tonight’s all new episode of GREY’S ANATOMY (Season 9, Episode 21 – can you believe we’re almost to Season 10??), Bailey becomes the focus of a CDC investigation when several of her patients die.  It becomes a tricky situation when her friends, her former students, need to act as board members first and foremost. I recently spent some time chatting with Bailey (the incomparable Chandra Wilson) about what’s coming up tonight, what’s happening in the super-scary-sounding Season finale, and

Brad Garrett talks HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS….

In tonight’s episode of HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS (FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE), an episode that series star Brad Garrett calls “an episode about guilt,” Elaine pushes Max to confront his dying aunt, while Natalie convinces everyone that she’s getting picked on by an imaginary bully, as a way of dealing with her parents’ divorce. With each week, I enjoy the show more, and to celebrate what sounds like a somber yet hilarious episode, I spent time
