DROP DEAD DIVA Season 3 Premiere Discussion

Hello, DROP DEAD DIVA fans! It’s good to be back talking about our girl Jane and her life!

Season two ended when Grayson asked Jane to be his “best man,” and after she refused, he chased after her and was hit by a car. Season three begins with Jane at the hospital. But in true DDD form, Jane is having a dream. No, she didn’t dream Grayson’s accident — she dreamt that he came back to earth in the bodies of other men. That was pretty clever. But THEN she dreamt a musical number in which male hospital patients had their shirts ripped from them, nurses danced with IV poles, and Grayson pulled her into his arms for a kiss.

Um, what?

THE KILLING Finale: Did You Like How Season 1 Ended?

[Spoiler alert: If you haven’t watched the season finale of THE KILLING, turn away now. For those of you who have seen “Orpheus Descending,” read on.]

When we last left off, our team realized Richmond’s computer was getting the emails Linden was sending, Holden was sent by a witness to a location where Richmond’s picture was plastered all over the wall and viewers were left wondering whether the show has solved their central murder one episode before the first season ended.

So was Richmond guilty all along?

Noah Wyle Previews FALLING SKIES

FALLING SKIES, TNT’s latest original series, debuts tonight at 9 PM and while, yes, it’s a science-fiction show set in a post-alien invasion world, the heart of this series is the people who are struggling to get by.

According to a network press release, “FALLING SKIES opens in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few remaining survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force, whose nature and purpose remains a mystery.”

THE FRANCHISE: A SEASON WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS Preview

I have a shameful admission to make: I’m really looking forward to Showtime’s new docu-series, THE FRANCHISE: A SEASON WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS.

As a die-hard Los Angeles Dodgers fan, those are difficult words to write, but it’s true. (For those who are not familiar with baseball, the Dodgers and Giants are sworn enemies. Think Yankees and Red Sox, but possibly more intense.) But I also love the game and it should be interesting to see how these players handle having cameras follow them on the field and off. Plus, given that they’re the…sigh…defending world champs, what will the pressure of that title mean for the way they handle this season’s pressure?

Check out a preview of the show…

2011 Comic-Con Schedule: Check Out Which 20th Century Fox Shows Are Making the Trip!

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, this is an official Comic-Con 2011 update. It’s (almost) that time of the year again, and 20th Century Fox is getting a head start by announcing which shows they’ll be taking to San Diego in July.

Because we’re still more than a month away, there is a chance some listed talent could change, but this should give fans an idea of who is scheduled to be there as of now.

Check out the official press release!

“THURSDAY, JULY 21:

Napoleon Dynamite: Original cast members from the hit indie film, Jon Heder, Tina Majorino, Efren Ramirez, Jon Gries, Sandy Martin, Diedrich Bader and Executive Producer Mike Scully (The Simpsons) present a new series following your favorite awkward teenager like you’ve never seen him before – animated! Join us for a sneak peek at never-before-seen footage of the newest member of FOX’s Animation Domination lineup and a “sweet” Q&A session.

Awake: Since the trailer was unveiled at NBC’s upfront presentation in New York, this spellbinding sci-fi drama about the power of the mind from the brilliant creators Howard Gordon (24) and Kyle Killen (The Beaver) has been one of the most eagerly anticipated series of the 2011-12 season. While most viewers will have to wait months to sample this series about a detective Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter) desperately straddling two realities as he copes with immeasurable grief, Comic-con fans will get an exclusive first look at the entire first episode of the series, and an audience with Gordon, Killen and star Isaacs.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE: The Judges Dish on the Shocking Elimination Show

Those SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE judges…they always keep us guessing.

After one of the most drama-filled results shows in recent memory, Give Me My Remote caught up with executive producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe, judge Mary Murphy and guest judge Megan Mullally to talk about their shocking decision, what the origin of the idea was, the “bloodbath” next week and more…

Who Went Home on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?

 

It’s just cruel. Twenty dancers with the highest of hopes and dreams have made it to the coveted SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE for Season 8 of the hit show. But after only one opportunity to perform, two of those dancers have to leave the competition. The results show are never easy, but to be let go this early has really got to hurt.

As a fan it’s not the worst thing. Last year we only had ten dancers to get to know, but since they are back to the Top 20 format this year…well, it all seems a little overwhelming. I can’t wait to know these kids a bit more over the summer. Well, all of them except the two that are let go this evening (too harsh?)

Before we get to the results, a brief round of applause for Sonya Tayeh and her fierce group routine. The dapperness of cane with a little naughtiness thrown in for good measure. Well done.

Now for the tough part…results time. Read more

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE: Caitlyn, Robert R. and Sasha on the Drama-Filled Live Show

While most of the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE contestants had a relatively smooth first week, Caitlyn Lawson was dealt a major blow when her partner, Mitchell Kelly, was injured and unable to perform their routine. Thankfully, former SYTYCDer Robert Roldan was able to jump in to partner up with Lawson, but they only had a short time to get their dance down.

The duo — along with Sasha Mallory — talked with Give Me My Remote about working together, the live show and more…

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Competitors Talk About the First Live Show

When Give Me My Remote caught up with the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE top 20 at their recent promotional photo shoot, many of the contestants expressed that the entire experience so far had been surreal and everything hadn’t fully sunk in, but they expected it would after the first live show.

After last night’s production, we talked with Tadd Gadduang, Christopher Koehl, Ashley Rich, Jess Leprotto, Jordan Casanova, Alexander Fost, Clarice Ordaz, Missy Morelli, Wadi Jones, Miranda Maleski, Robert Taylor, Ryan Ramirez, Iveta Lukosiute and Ricky Jaime about performing live, what lessons they learned and much more…

DEXTER Promo Reveals ‘A Message From Dexter’

While Showtime still hasn’t given fans any new footage from DEXTER’s upcoming sixth season, they have made another deliciously creepy promo to get viewers excited.

The “message from Dexter” features a Michael C. Hall (Dexter) voice over as the camera closes in on his face until you see…well, why don’t you check it out for yourself?

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE: Melanie Moore and Marko Germar Talk About Their Travis Wall Routine, Praise From the Judges

The SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE live shows got off to a great start Wednesday night, right? There’s not a weak dancer among the bunch and I’m truly unsure about who might be going home on tonight’s elimination show.

However, I think it’s fair to say that after Melanie Moore and Marko Germar’s incredible Travis Wall routine, they should be safe this week.

I caught up with Moore and Germar after the show to talk about their first live performance together, the impressive judges’ feedback and more…
