WHITE COLLAR Season 3 Premiere Preview

The good thing about WHITE COLLAR splitting up its seasons in two parts? The hiatus between new episodes is never too unbearably long!

THE BACHELORETTE: Bentley is a Creep, William Gets a Break

As irrational as it may be, I find myself incredibly angry with THE BACHELORETTE tonight.

I understand the show is not the highest in terms of “quality” — okay, let’s be fair, it’s a guilty pleasure. But at the same time, human decency shouldn’t be unheard of, even if this is a reality show.

Was Bentley good TV? I don’t know. He got people talking. But whereas in previous cycles of THE BACHELORETTE when there have been ridiculous contestants and they got their rightful blame, much of the anger I saw expressed on Twitter Monday night wasn’t towards Bentley — it was towards the producers for allowing him to do what he did to Ashley.

GLEE’s Littlest Warbler (Video)

Move over Darren Criss…there is a new Warbler in town. If you think your heart can handle the cuteness, then check out this adorable video of a little tyke taking on the moves and grooves of Dalton Academy’s finest.

He absolutely nails Blaine’s mannerisms. Amazing!

This guy is getting attention from the real Dalton Warblers. Earlier today, Darren Criss tweeted “I have been replaced. Blaine Anderson, move over…Putting us Warblers to shame, you handsome devil!”

Telly Leung, who plays Wes Warbler also is a fan, tweeting: “Amazing! This kid has me fearing for my job. U should be nervous too, @DarrenCriss! haha! #cutestwarblerever”

We couldn’t agree more, boys!

As for the real life Warblers, well I got to spend a little quality time with some of those boys yesterday here in Boston (check out the next TV Talk Podcast for the details), and tomorrow night I’ll be hanging with the boys of Dalton and the talents of McKinley High’s New Directions when the GLEE Live tour comes to Boston. Anyone else going? I can’t wait!

GRIMM from NBC – First Look

Can’t wait to see NBC’s new show, GRIMM? The network has released another short promo teasing the supernatural series.

For those of you who may have missed our original coverage on the GRIMM pickup, according to the NBC press release, “GRIMM is a new drama series inspired by the classic Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Remember the fairy tales your parents used to tell you before bedtime? Those weren’t stories — they were warnings. Nick Burkhardt (David Guintoli “Turn The Beat Around”) thought he prepared himself for the realities of working as a homicide detective until he started seeing things he couldn’t quite explain.

SWITCHED AT BIRTH Series Premiere Preview

ABC Family debuts their newest series, SWITCHED AT BIRTH, tonight, and I have to admit I’m intrigued by the premise.

The show revolves around two families who have their worlds turned upside when they discover that — thanks to a hospital error when the babies were born — they have been raising the wrong child. And as you can tell from the picture above, by the time the error is discovered, the girls are already teenagers. Now, they must try and figure out how to move forward from here.

Check out a preview and a clip from the series premiere of SWITCHED AT BIRTH…
