In honor of what may have been the series finale of OUTSOURCED last night, let me quote my favorite Rajiv moment from the episode: Todd: What can I do to help? Rajiv: Do you know where the gift table is? Todd: Yes. Rajiv: Good. Go to it and see if someone gave us a time machine. Todd: I get it. And then set it to before the bachelor party? Rajiv: No. You must go back much further. Go back to
As luck would have it, Rizwan Manji was on my flight home from Dallas, and I met him in the SFO baggage claim. No, really, sometimes these things just happen to me. He invited me to attend the event he had flown in for, a talk with Sanskriti, the South Asian student organization at Stanford University. The talk was moderated by member Elahe Popat, who focused the discussion on his experiences as a South Asian actor. Manji began by recapping
One of the best things to happen to the spring TV landscape has been the arrival of my new favorite group of people on ABC’s HAPPY ENDINGS. The show about a couple who breaks up at the wedding, and the group of friends that support them, has two incredible new episodes tonight. If the first episode, Jane and Brad (Coupe and Wayans) try to find some married couple friends; in the second, Max needs to face his parents with some
You may recognize Leigh Anne Tuohy as the woman behind Sandra Bullock’s Oscar award winning role in “The Blind Side” (hint: she’s the real life inspiration for the story about a family who takes in a young man destined to be a football star). I know her from her current stint as one of the members of Ty’s team on EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION, which returns to ABC tonight after too long an absence. For whatever reason you recognize her,
Sometimes Amrie sets aside HER take on TV to let someone else have a go. Sunil is just such a someone else. Formerly of RTVW Online and Mars Investigations, he has multiple Comic-Cons under his belt and is happy to share his love of television with anyone who will listen. Last month, I attended the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival’s panel on Breakout Female Comedians, featuring Anisha Nagarajan, who plays scene-stealer Madhuri on OUTSOURCED. She regaled us with tales
I had the chance this week to listen in on a conference call with series creator David Caspe and series star Elisha Cuthbert from ABC’s all new (hilarious) comedy HAPPY ENDINGS, premiering tonight at 9:30/8:30c and they had so many great things to say about what’s to come and where the show ideas came from – check it out, and I’ll be back later today with an actual review of the show, and why I think YOU ALL should watch!
Tonight on ABC Family, fall in love with the adorable made-for-TV movie MY FUTURE BOYFRIEND. Sara Rue stars as Elizabeth Barrett, a writer whose first book has just been published. When an archeological dig in the year 3127 reveals a copy of Elizabeth’s first novel, explorer P-A-X-497/341 (Pax, played by the ever-charming Barry Watson) decides to head back to 2011 to understand the concept of love: a concept that no longer exists in his perfect utopian future. He meets Elizabeth
If there’s one thing I can say for Michael B Jordan (aside from the multitude of positive adjectives I could throw his way after our chat a few weeks back) – he knows how to find good drama. Just look at the shows he’s had the opportunity to be a part of over the past few years: THE WIRE (Wallace!) and his current gigs – the now-finished filming FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS (sigh, Vince) and the week after week tearjerker (in
Tonight on ABC, be sure to catch the premiere of BODY OF PROOF, the new medical-examiner drama starring Dana Delany. Delany plays Dr Megan Hunt, a former neurosurgeon, who, due to an accident, was left without a career. Instead of retiring altogether, she turned her brilliant mind to medical examination and now, with the help of a team played by Geoffrey Arend, Windell Middlebrooks, Jeri Ryan, Nicholas Bishop, Sonja Sohn, and John Carroll Lynch, she’s trying to balance a messy
V has kicked up the action with each new episode that airs, and the show is heading full speed towards a cliffhanger finale that will get everyone talking. To celebrate a new episode tonight, I had the chance to speak with the lovely Morena Baccarin about her dastardly lizard queen Anna and what’s coming up (tonight and throughout the rest of the season). I was just saying to someone that this show has really ramped up the energy. Every week,
