BONES: Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan on Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz Directing

There’s been an overload of BONES material this week, hasn’t there?

Between the promo with season 6 scenes and that fun dance break, we got some good stuff.

Today, however, GIVE ME MY REMOTE has a little added bonus for you guys.

We chatted with BONES executive producers Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan about Emily Deschanel’s directorial debut and David Boreanaz getting his turn behind the camera this season…

BONES, COMMUNITY, MY GENERATION, THE BIG BANG THEORY, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES: Thursday at 8 Madness

They say you can never have too much of a good thing.

“They” clearly never met the Thursday at 8 fall 2010 network lineup.

Good grief.

TV viewers will have BONES, COMMUNITY, MY GENERATION, THE BIG BANG THEORY and THE VAMPIRE DIARIES going up against each other in the 8 p.m. hour. At 8:30, 30 ROCK and freshman show $#*! MY DAD SAYS take over the NBC and CBS timeslots respectively.

Oy.

Pretty much what my nightmares are made of. For a TV geek, anyway.

You think I’m kidding, but when I think about that logjam, my heart races, my palms sweat and I start to freak out about way too much good television. I honestly have no idea how I’m going to handle that night.

At all.

I mean, take a look at the five shows at 8…

Michael Emerson Talks LOST Epilogue, the Auction and Working with Terry O’Quinn Again

LOST ended in May. You would think that would mean that its poor actors would finally be off the hook when it comes to keeping their characters’ storylines on the down low.

For most of the cast, that is the case. But for those involved in the LOST epilogue,”The New Man in Charge,” it was a few additional months of having to keep their lips sealed.

As one of the only people privy to the answers provided in “The New Man In Charge,” Emmy-nominee Michael Emerson was tasked with keeping quiet until this very week when it was released on the season 6 DVD.

But when GIVE ME MY REMOTE caught up with Emerson yesterday, he said he was cool with it.

“It was okay,” he assures us in the video below. “I was so pleased that they asked me to be part of that epilogue, because I felt it had such an interesting light-hearted tone to it. I was glad that I got to participate in that — that little dessert at the end of the long, long meal that LOST was.”

We were glad he was a part of it as well.

We also got his take on the outrageous auction prices at last weekend’s LOST auction and found out what it will take to get him to reunite with former costar Terry O’Quinn in a new series.

Take a look…

BONES Season 6 Promo: Kissing, Love and Reunions

Oh boy.

FOX really isn’t holding (much) back as far as where the Booth-Brennan relationship is starting off, showing that yep, Booth is coming back with a girlfriend.

Brennan certainly appears to be handling the news well, doesn’t she?

But you gotta love Cam blatantly laying it out there for Brennan, saying,”I just assumed that when you guys got back, you’d be a real couple.” And fans likely remember, Cam was the one who called Booth out on his being in love with Brennan in last season’s premiere.

Enough of our chatting, take a look for yourself…

So, what do you think of our first look at season 6?

And let’s speculate what other surprises will be in store for the season premiere, because there might be another shock that’s coming our way…

LOST: ‘The New Man in Charge’ Brings Answers and More Questions

More than 3 months after LOST aired its series finale, fans got a little more closure in the form of a DVD-only epilogue.

While the 11-minute story briefly leaked a few weeks ago, I resisted the urge to view it before I had the actual season 6 DVD in my possession.

And since some fans are a bit split on the actual content of these bonus minutes, I thought it would be fun for us to dissect and debate the final story.

Cool?

Have you watched the epilogue?

If so, read on…

WHITE COLLAR: Prisoner’s Dilemma

Last night’s episode was full of finger pointing, pot roasts, safe houses and agents on the run. Let’s dive in.

Case of the Week

We should have known – and most of us probably did – that mayhem would ensue when Peter promised Elizabeth he’d be home for a date night (a.k.a. pot roast dinner) and work would absolutely not interfere with these plans.

How long has he been in law enforcement? Did he really think this would work out?

It turns out that Peter and Neal have been [inconveniently] called into the office on a Saturday because a fellow FBI agent is on the run. The U.S. Marshals can’t find him, and they’ve been instructed to team up with the Bureau.

Neal: Do all the higher-ups do the double finger point?

Peter: They teach it at Quantico.

After an investigation that includes Peter driving his dream car and Neal selling someone else his dream car, the team realizes that the agent on the run, Jack Franklin, might not be guilty of the things he’s been accused. Peter gives Jack’s former informant (and girlfriend) the message that he will listen to Jack’s story with an open mind.

WAREHOUSE 13 Recap: Merge with Caution

Hey, WAREHOUSE 13 pals! This episode starts out with a bang, or really a crash, as Pete and Myka are on the trail of a window-breaking, fast running, jewelry thief. Pete grabs his backpack, but neither of them can actually grab the thief. Inside the bag is a bronze griffin (half lion, half eagle). Myka tells us that historically in Greek mythology, they were used to protect treasure. Since it appears to be an artifact now, Pete and Myka are happy. Case closed, right? Pete tells Myka she can now go to her high school reunion to see her old friends, IF she has old friends, that is.

She assures him that she does, sort of, or at least, people she tutored. So they place the griffin into an artifact bag. But just as they are doing so, it reacts; its eyes go yellow. Then Myka and Pete’s do the same.

No harm, no foul, though, right? Yeah, they’d LIKE to think so.

BACHELOR PAD WTF Moment of the Week: Kissing Contest Edition

Guys, I’m not sure if I have the vocabulary to properly express the ickiness of tonight’s BACHELOR PAD kissing contest, but I could probably best sum it up in one word: Ew.

I’m under no delusions about what kind of show I’m watching. BACHELOR PAD is guilty pleasure fun, which often borders on the trashtastic side. And I’ve accepted that I watch this franchise in spite of — or maybe because of — that.

COVERT AFFAIRS: Inside Scoop from Sendhil Ramamurthy

COVERT AFFAIRS is already one of USA’s biggest hits, with a passionate fan base who have already earned the show a second season. Armed with a fresh take on the spy world and a cast full of familiar and talented faces, COVERT AFFAIRS is well-positioned for a long run in prime time. Before tonight’s episode, titled “Communication Breakdown,” I thought GIVE ME MY REMOTE readers would appreciate a peek behind the scenes with one of the program’s most influential characters.

Sendhil Ramamurthy is no stranger to enthusiastic TV fans, most notably for his run on NBC’s HEROES. After four seasons as Dr. Mohinder Suresh, Ramamurthy was eager to take on a new challenge, free of superpowers and overarching storylines. Recently, Sendhil took time out to offer insights about his background, the journey to join COVERT AFFAIRS, and scoop about his character, Jai Wilcox.

-How Sendhil became a part of the COVERT AFFAIRS cast:

USA decided to make a little change from the pilot and bring in the Jai Wilcox character. They kind of approached me about it… and I did a chemistry read with Piper Perabo and I got the job the next day. It was a script that I really liked. It was a very different character for me to play from what I had been doing before.

CASTLE’s Nathan Fillion Wants to Host SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

Ah, Facebook, what wonderful powers you have.

You successfully orchestrated Betty White’s turn as host of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE and now another cult fave wants in on that action.

“Just heard there’s a Facebook page to get me on SNL. Worked for Betty White!!” CASTLE star Nathan Fillion tweeted earlier today.

Indeed, there are two different “Nathan Fillion to host SNL” pages currently on Facebook with a combined 12,000-plus fans. And since Fillion has been tweeting about both campaigns for the last few hours to his 609,000-plus Twitter followers, those numbers are sure to jump.

And Fillion’s so keen on the idea, he’s even tweeting sketch possibilities to help the writers out: “SNL sketch idea. Get into a fat suit, have “What if Firefly was still on?” episode.”

Love it.

What say you?

Think Fillion should host SNL?

If so, what other shows would you love to see him satirize via sketch?

DROP DEAD DIVA: Good Grief

Hey, Drop Dead Diva fans! It’s hard to believe that season two is almost over, but it’s true. There is a lot to talk about this Jane-centric episode, Good Grief. We’ve got a clown and former Bachelor Jake Pavelka. For those of you keeping score at home, it’s actually two DIFFERENT clowns. Don’t believe me? Read on; let’s discuss.

Weren’t the Jane vs. Jane dream sequences really creative? It’s fun to see how the writers can continue the thread of tension between Old Jane and New Jane. New or old, our Jane is presented with an interesting case when Evan, a man in full clown costume is her first appointment. She reads over his file and talks with him about his termination from a reputable corporation. He worked there for many years, but in recent months began wearing the clown suit, shoes, wig and make-up. Jane gains compassion when she asks Evan why he took bereavement leave before his wardrobe change, and he admits that his wife died. Almost as shocking is when Grayson volunteers to be her second chair, stating, “He lost his wife; I might have some insights.”
