Can you believe it’s only been four weeks since FRINGE had its third season finale?
And if you think you had questions after viewing the hour, imagine how the actors feel trying to process all the places next season could conceivably go.
When I caught up with FRINGE stars Anna Torv (Olivia) and John Noble (Walter) at the Paley Center event honoring their show, they shared their initial reaction to the third season cliffhanger, where they think Peter is, what his absence means for them and more…

New Trailer For Showtime’s WEB THERAPY
June 3, 2011 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under Web Therapy
Showtime is doing their part at keeping FRIENDS alumni employed with the upcoming Lisa Kudrow-led series, WEB THERAPY.
What is WEB THERAPY? According to Showtime’s press release, “WEB THERAPY stars Emmy® Award-winning actress Lisa Kudrow as “Dr. Fiona Wallice,” a self-professed psychotherapist who treats patients via webcam in weekly, three-minute sessions – a modality she believes more effective than the traditional 50-minute talk-a-thons heralded by other mental health professionals. However, she spends more time feigning boredom, interrupting and giving meaningless personal data than hearing her patient’s issues. Her “patients” including Jane Lynch (“Glee”), Courteney Cox (“Cougar Town”), Rashida Jones (“Parks and Recreation”), and, veteran star Bob Balaban (“For Your Consideration”), among others, are given a script framework, but ad-lib their performances with riotous results. The series will also delve into the doctor’s personal life and will feature Lily Tomlin as her mother and Victor Garber (“Alias”) as her husband.”
Check out a tease for the series…

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE’s Patty Anne Miller…just wow.
The things this woman did with her body during her Los Angeles audition are just indescribable. How does the human body work that way?!
Thankfully, the judges immediately appreciated her unique skills, to the slight surprise of Patty herself…
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Audition Highlight: Jordan Casanova

An easy way to get into the hearts of the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE judges? Be a “Naughty Girl”!
Jordan Casanova had the judges wrapped around her finger when she auditioned with Beyonce’s song, but she promised the tune didn’t describe anything about her because she was “an innocent person.”
But, um, her audition certainly lived up to the song’s title.
Take a look…
New Documentary Highlights SHOWRUNNERS

Filed under Showrunners
If you’re a television nerd like I am, showrunners are a bit like rock gods. Yes, the actors are the face of our shows, but very little of what we see on our televisions could be done without the writers and showrunners.
So to the documentary makers who decided they’d be a good subject matter for a film? You’re brilliant. SHOWRUNNERS looks like a nerd’s dream come true.
In the trailer for the film, there are snippets of sit-down interviews with the showrunners of LOST, FRINGE, SONS OF ANARCHY, HOUSE, ONE TREE HILL and more (additional names will be announced at a later date, since they’re still doing interviews). Plus, there appears to be some footage on location with the writers, including a FRINGE event that was held all the way back in October.

CHILDRENS’ HOSPITAL — arguably the craziest show on TV — kicks off a brand new season, tonight on Adult Swim. There will be plenty of guest stars (including former HOUSE star Lisa Edelstein), TRON, bed-hopping, oh and some medical cases.
I caught up with series stars Malin Akerman (Valerie) and Erinn Hayes (Lola) on the set of CHILDRENS’ HOSPITAL to get some teases for the show’s third season…

On SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, when you mix a contestant named Princess Lockerooo with a style of dance called “whacking,” it could very easily be a joke waiting to happen.
Thankfully for us, Princess Lockerooo — AKA Samara Cohen — was actually really good. She was feisty and the way she moved her arms was mind-boggling.
Take a look at her audition…

It’s the rare SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE audtion that is both good and amusing, but somehow street dancer Tadd Gadduang managed to pull it off.
During his audition in Salt Lake City, Gadduag impressed the judges and audience with his playful choreography, which included walking off the stage on his hands.

After a one-week break, TOP CHEF: MASTERS is back tonight with an all-new episode!

THE VOICE: Curtis Grimes and Emily Valentine Perform ‘Need You Now’ (and Kiss!)

Filed under The Voice
The shocking event THE VOICE teased in their promos all week? A kiss.
However, the real juicy part was the who and the when of the kissing: fellow Team Cee Lo contestants Curtis Grimes and Emily Valentine got a little too into their battle round performance of Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” and shared a smooch on stage at the end of the song. Putting a slight damper on the romance for the duo was the fact that only one could make it through to the next round.
So who made it through?
