Cuba Gooding, Jr discusses FIRELIGHT – a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie airing Sunday on ABC

I spent some time this morning chatting with the incredibly charming Cuba Gooding, Jr, about his upcoming role as Dwayne “DJ” Johnson, a counselor at a youth correctional facility. At the facility, incarcerated girls and young women come from troubled – often violent — backgrounds. Many of them belong to gangs and have been involved with illegal drugs – as users and/or dealers. In the words of DJ, “They come in [here] so broken…These are girls who’ve been abused and

We go ONCE UPON A TIME with Jane Espenson to discuss “The Return”

You all know Jane Espenson from her work on many of our favorite series – BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, BATTLESTAR, CAPRICA, GILMORE GIRLS, the list goes on.  This season she’s been lending her creativity to ABC’s Sunday night hit ONCE UPON A TIME, which returns Sunday at 8/7c with a Jane-penned episode appropriately titled “The Return.” To celebrate the show’s return to our schedules and what sounds like an exciting batch of final episodes, I spent a bit of time

Henry Ian Cusick teases SCANDAL

Henry Ian Cusick has long been a favorite of ours at My Take On TV. “The Constant” episode of LOST will remain in my top 10 episodes of TV forever.  These days, he’s back on TV on a weekly basis, as one of the stars on ABC’s new hit SCANDAL, the strong and surprising drama about “fixers” in Washington, D.C. On tonight’s all new episode, the team tries to help a millionaire’s son (played by Michael Cassidy) after he’s accused

To celebrate the big move to Tuesday from

THE L.A. COMPLEX Introduces New Face Benjamin Charles Watson to The CW

Benjamin Charles Watson is a relatively new face to television. However, you will be seeing much more of him this spring as he appears in the CW Network’s brand new show The L.A. Complex. Success Is New to Watson When I speak with Watson, he is quite overwhelmed by his sudden “star” status. “It’s a big adjustment,” he contemplates. “People come up to me and tell me how much they love the show and the character. It’s really cool. But,

Dreama Walker previews DON’T TRUST THE B—- IN APARTMENT 23!

Tonight on ABC (9:30/8:30c after an all new MODERN FAMILY), the fun new comedy DON’T TRUST THE B(ITCH) IN APARTMENT 23 starts, and it’s definitely a show you’re not going to want to miss. Dreama Walker stars as June, a girl from the Midwest whose dreams of career success and a giant apartment to live in with her loving boyfriend are all but shattered within minutes of arriving in NYC. She ends up as the latest victim, er, roommate, of

Kiefer Sutherland TOUCHed by New Series for Fox

There is a red thread loosely wrapped around the ankles of certain people to connect them through the course of this lifetime, according to the Chinese fable “The Red Thread.” Fox’s new series, Touch, is based on that fable. What It’s All About Touch stars Kiefer Sutherland as Martin Bohm, and David Mazouz as his eleven year-old son, Jake, who is misdiagnosed with autism. Speaking from a press appearance at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, Sutherland describes it best,

Catching Up with…ALL MY CHILDREN’s Alicia Minshew

For the longest time, ALL MY CHILDREN was one of my favorite things to watch – watched with my mom growing up, watched character switches and rapidly-aging children, and everything fun and heartbreaking about one of the longest running soaps on TV.  Though my love for the show didn’t change, my ability to watch did, when ABC canceled it to make room for some lifetime shows on their afternoon schedule.  Sad as I was to see it go, it frees

Mary Elizabeth Ellis talks HAPPY ENDINGS, NEW GIRL, and more!

What do IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA, HAPPY ENDINGS, NEW GIRL, and last year’s woefully under watched PERFECT COUPLES have in common, besides being four comedies that I would choose to watch, on repeat, as many times as I’m allowed, in lieu of so much other junk that makes it on air?  Thanks to a guest starring turn tonight on HAPPY ENDINGS, the answer to that is Mary Elizabeth Ellis. In tonight’s all new episode, she plays Daphne, one of
