COUGAR TOWN: Josh Hopkins on Breaking Up, Singing and Jennifer Aniston

Let’s talk COUGAR TOWN, shall we?

Sure, the ABC comedy doesn’t get as much attention as something like MODERN FAMILY, but it just kept getting better and better as the first season rolled on, didn’t it?

But what’s going down in the new season?

GIVE ME MY REMOTE caught up with Josh Hopkins (Grayson) before filming started so he didn’t have any concrete answers for us — but he did tell us what he thinks will happen and what he wants to see happen. (Hint: it involves Jennifer Aniston and a fantasy sequence.)

WHITE COLLAR: In the Red

All right, be honest: who has “The Gambler” stuck in their head after last night’s episode? And do you really think Neal cheated to beat the bad guy in poker? Let’s break it down.

Case of the Week

The episode opened in the middle of an operation. Neal was exchanging a briefcase full of money for a bag full of stolen jewelry, while Peter, Jones and Diana were monitoring from the van.

As soon as Neal asked the woman driving if she was alone, I knew something was up. What I expected, though, was a guy with a gun sitting in the back seat. What we got instead – as Neal hollered “No guns!” and raised a toy – was a little boy, asleep in his car seat.

Neal: Throw a wig on her, and she’s Carol Brady.

Peter: Carol Brady had an affair with Greg Brady.

Neal: Proof that everyone has a dark side.

It came as no surprise that Neal and Peter were anxious to help the mom being scammed by her adoption lawyer. Mozzie, though, was unexpectedly passionate about this case, ranting about adopted children, even though he pointed out that he was in foster care and never adopted.

WAREHOUSE 13: For the Team

Love is in the air at the warehouse! Pete and Kelly! Artie and Vanessa! Myka and…HG Wells? Okay, okay, that last one’s a stretch, but you’ve got to admit that this episode felt different than any other episode we’ve seen.

The case took the passenger seat to the driving force of relationships, both romantic and friendly. Additionally, we saw more development in the ongoing thread of tension that both Pete and Myka have been facing: Will working at the warehouse ruin their chances of a happy, “normal” life?  Pete had more time to contemplate it as he assisted Artie with his annual appendectomy, while Myka was busy trying to determine if Helena was trustworthy. Oh, and also Claudia had her first mission. Let’s discuss!

BONES Season 5 Rewind

Oh FOX, how I adore the fact that even with no new footage — at least no footage that you’re willing to show — you keep giving us new BONES promos.

Sure, this video wouldn’t be conducive to new scenes — it is a recap of last season, after all — but one of these days we’ll get our new material.

In the meantime, this promo is excellent. Sums up where we left the key romantic relationships at the end of season 5 in just a matter of minutes.

The most interesting part of the promo for me? Cam’s line to Booth about being sure of his feelings for Brennan, because if “you crack that shell and change your mind, she’ll die of loneliness before she ever trusts anyone again” — cut between scenes of the 100th episode ending (aka where he possibly might have cracked that shell) and the 101st episode, where there was a considerable distance between the duo.

Isn’t that what a lot of fans are worried about in season 6? That Brennan will start to doubt the legitimacy of Booth’s feelings?

Tricky, tricky FOX promo people.

Take a look…

BACHELOR PAD WTF Moment of the Week: Competitive Eating

Ugh.

Look, I can stomach most reality television.

What I cannot stomach? Competitive eating.

So of course tonight’s installment of BACHELOR PAD featured a pie scarfing contest. The men and women tried to devour the desert as fast as they could — without their hands — in order to secure a rose to remain in the house another week. Also at stake? The opportunity to take three members of the opposite sex out on a date.

HOUSE’s Huddy Lose Their Clothes in New Promo

HOUSE certainly seems to be embracing the newly formed House-Cuddy relationship.

Case in point? The latest season 7 promo.

The majority of the promo is a recap of the doctors’ relationship thus far, but there is a good five seconds of new scenes — featuring the two in bed together.

Yep.

THE BIG BANG THEORY’s Simon Helberg Talks Season 4

We’re not the only ones crazy about THE BIG BANG THEORY, right?

GIVE ME MY REMOTE caught up with TBBT’s Simon Helberg at ComicCon last month and while he didn’t know a lot about what would be going down in season 4, he did have some theories.

“I’ve heard little rumors that Howard will be nursing a broken heart, maybe trying to get back together with Bernadette, so we’ll see what happens there,” Helberg says. “But otherwise, we don’t know [what’s coming up] until the day before [we get a script]. Just playing it by ear.”

What did he think of THE BIG BANG THEORY fans who took over Ballroom 20 at CCI? And how about all those “closet nerds” out there?

Peep the video below to find out…

CASTLE’s Tamala Jones on Romance and Family in Season 3

CASTLE’s Tamala Jones (Lanie) is going to get her time in the spotlight in season 3!

When GIVE ME MY REMOTE caught up with Jones at Comic-Con, she shared that fans will learn more about her character in an upcoming episode.

“I’ve been hearing that they want to do more backstory on Lanie, like maybe bring one of her family members to the forefront,” Jones says in the video below. “And I suggested if we had her mother come in, that Pam Grier would play her mother, because…I would love that. I see the toughness in Lanie that I see in Pam Grier…But we’ll see how far back they go, if any of my family members show up or we just talk about it. But Terri Edda — who wrote the Halloween episode — she’s in charge of writing the Lanie episode and she’s very excited about it and I know it’s going to be amazing because she’s an amazing writer.”

Jones also teased that she’s been hearing some whispers about Lanie and Esposito hooking up…something her onscreen counterpart Jon Huertas (Esposito) is all for.

Plus, what did she think of CASTLE’s first Comic-Con experience? Take a look…

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE: Behind the Scenes with Ellen & tWitch

Just how did Ellen DeGeneres end up sharing the stage with tWitch Boss on the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE finale?

Watch as Ellen works with tWitch and NappyTabs to prepare for the big day…

DROP DEAD DIVA: Will & Grayson

Hey, hey, Drop Dead Diva fans! Lots to talk about this episode. So much intrigue.

DID Jane have an affair with Todd? Would she find the missing evidence? Would Grayson win his case against Vanessa’s ex-fiance’s company? Would Fred actually be able to nail Stacy an acting job, therefore increasing his chances to…well, you know! There’s a lot to discuss, so let’s get to it!

New Jane finds herself in a predicament when accepting an honor from the local police department, a woman accuses her (or Old Jane, really), of having an affair with her husband, Todd. Jane is sure she never could have done anything like that, new or old, but it’s up to her to figure out the truth. With Stacy and Teri’s help, she sets out to clear her name. I liked that idea that New Jane had to stand up for Old Jane. She travels to the hotel where the incriminating photos were taken and gets copies of her receipts. There she is given a set of prescription sunglasses and a lead to where Todd might be. She finds him and confesses she suffered memory loss. In a nice moment of vulnerability, she asks Todd to tell her everything that happened between them. Once he reveals that she was helping defend him against theft charges in his police department, Jane realizes she needs to find the evidence that supports him.

WHITE COLLAR: Unfinished Business

Ho-hum. Insurance, blah, blah, blah. You weren’t alone if those were your first thoughts when this episode started; Neal wasn’t excited, either. But it didn’t take long for an insurance scam to turn into something a lot more interesting!

Case of the Week
We quickly learn that Sara Ellis, the insurance investigator Peter and Neal are working with, is the same woman who testified against Neal at his trial. And apparently she’s still upset that he wasn’t convicted of stealing “her” painting, thanks to that jury of his peers.

Mozzie:  Who’s Sara Ellis?
Neal:  You weren’t at my trial. She was.

Their banter was quick and constant throughout the episode, but I just couldn’t quite buy her hostility toward Neal. She was too smiley, I think, which is ironic considering her complaint about his smile meaning that he wants something.

[Hmm . . . if we operate on that theory, I wonder what, exactly, she wants from Neal?]

Neal:  So you’re basically a high-class repo man.
Sara:  I prefer white collar bounty hunter.
Neal:  You should put that on your business cards.

Peter demands that Neal cooperate with Sara on their investigation into stolen bank bonds. Neal reluctantly agrees – even when Sara goads him with a tape recorder and claims that she will prove he stole her painting.

In yet another situation where Neal gets to take off his tracking device, he impersonates Mr. Black, a guy working for Edgar Halbridge, the suspected bond thief.

It turns out Mr. Black has been hired to kill none other than Sara Ellis, which means Neal – as Black – finds himself in Sara’s bedroom, pointing a gun at her. Sara then pulls a gun on Neal, and they’re both saved by a phone call from Peter, who verifies that Neal is not actually going to kill anyone.

Neal:  She put her gun in my face.
Mozzie:  And cocked it?
Neal:  Yeah.
Mozzie:  You’ve come back from worse.

Neal:  She has a gun.
Mozzie:  Is it still pointing at you?
Neal:  No, I think I convinced her I’m not trying to kill her anymore.
Mozzie:  Well, you are a charmer.

The team decides to fake Sara’s death and move her into the FBI office until they can determine why Halbridge has hired someone to kill an insurance investigator, of all things.

I think it was a stretch for Sara to insist on living at the Bureau instead of a safe house, but it provided opportunity for some fun interactions between the various characters. Peter and Neal’s back-and-forth about playing nice cracked me up. Their rhythm was great, and I rewound and watched it a couple times.

Peter:   Right now we’re on the same team, so play nice.
Neal:  She —
Peter:  No.
Neal:  I’m —
Peter:  Don’t.
Neal:  Fine.
Peter:  Good.

Neal and Sara had a little picnic on the roof, where they seemed to declare a tentative truce. Then Peter and Sara had a heart-to-heart after Elizabeth nudged Peter into playing therapist with the investigator. Both conversations started out light but moved into more serious territory, with Sara kind of freaking out that nobody seemed to care much about her “death.”

Sara:  Neal came by. We had a nice little chat.
Peter:  Is he in one piece?
Sara:  Yes, I left him whole.
Peter:  Good, I prefer him that way.

Eventually the team realized that the hit had been placed on Sara five months earlier, when she was investigating one particular building Halbridge owns. After visits from Mr. Black (a.k.a. Neal) and Peter, Halbridge started to move. A dead body was dug up at his building, an identity theft was discovered and he was arrested – with bonds in hand – by the whole team.

The actual Mr. Black snuck back into play, though, and almost took out Sara and Neal at her apartment. Peter and team burst in to save the day, but Sara and Neal (mostly Sara) had the situation under control.

And why was Neal in her apartment, anyway? Oh yes, Kate.

Music Box Mystery
Mozzie and Neal managed to sneak into the hangar storing the plane that blew up while Kate was on it. Neal’s face and even his body language as he first took it all in was just devastating.

He recovered in time to convince the FAA guard to send him a copy of the plane’s black box – courtesy of Sara Ellis. They mailed her a copy, but when she was supposedly dead, her mail piled up on her office desk while she bunked at the FB I office. To get the recording, Neal offered her a ride home after Halbridge was arrested, knowing she’d want to stop at her office to pick up her mail. (“She’s a workaholic and everybody likes mail.”)

Somehow, though, in all the excitement of foiling Mr. Black and flirting with Sara, Neal couldn’t quite manage to lift the envelope. I’m not sure I buy that, considering he took Halbridge’s guard’s gun earlier in the episode and Peter’s fancy pen in the last episode. If there’s someone who can lift an item, it’s Neal.

And yet, he left evidence of Kate’s murder in Sara Ellis’s apartment. Interesting . . .

All right, White Collar fans, what did you think about this episode? Do you think we’ve seen the last of Sara Ellis? Are you missing the new friendship between Mozzie and Peter yet? And how badly did you want to hug Neal when he saw that blown-up airplane?
