Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Tuesday, July 12, 2011

Things are really heating up in tonight’s episodes of PRETTY LITTLE LIARS and THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING! Will you be watching?

If those aren’t your speed, you can always tune in to WHITE COLLAR and get lost in Matt Bomer’s eyes…

Lots more, so read on!

Pretty Little Liars | 8pm on ABC Family
“The Devil You Know”
As the shocking news about Ian makes the rounds through Rosewood, Aria, Emily, Hanna, Spencer and their families all try to cope with the outcome and some much needed closure. With her home life particularly in turmoil, Spencer stays focused on her family and the surprising support she gets from her parents. Emily, on the other hand, can’t seem to find the closure that others are relishing, but rather digs her heels in to find any shred of evidence they may have over looked. And Aria looks to find comfort in Ezra, but with their relationship still new to the outside world, the couple struggles to be so public so fast. With everyone looking for comfort and sharing a huge sigh of relief, could Emily be right and the devil they think has been put to rest is nowhere near the evil that still looms out there, just waiting for the Liars to get theirs? Meanwhile, Hanna gets a surprising look into Caleb’s life after his shady foster mother surfaces.

THE BACHELORETTE: Ashley Dismisses a Guy Early, Emily Talks About Her Breakup With Brad (Kind Of)

First of all, we reached a major milestone in tonight’s episode of THE BACHELORETTE — unless I’m completely mistaken, Bentley’s name wasn’t mentioned once!

In terms of actual dates, Ryan got his long-awaited one-on-one time with Ashley. It’s a bit bizarre he made it to the final 6 without getting an individual date, but hey, she saw something in him from afar. I had completely forgotten that he received the first impression rose all the way back at the season premiere. Heck, I had forgotten he existed until tonight. (Sorry, Ryan.) But it’s fair to say that after the way his date with Ashley ended, many fans won’t be forgetting him.

DALLAS Reboot: Check Out the First Trailer!

TNT may have just picked up the new version of DALLAS late last week, but the network has already debuted the series’ first trailer.

The one minute promo shows a glimpse of what the Ewings — both new and familiar characters — are up to.  But make the footage last…the series won’t debut until summer 2012!

WAREHOUSE 13: ‘The New Guy’ Recap

Welcome back, WAREHOUSE 13! It finally feels like summer when WAREHOUSE 13 is back on the air, right? These fall/winter/spring hiatuses are way too long in my book. If you haven’t read Marisa Roffman’s article with Jack Kenny and Aaron Ashmore, be sure to do so. But for now, let’s break down the season premiere!

The episode begins in New Jersey at a Rock & Roll history museum. The building is blocked off because of a potential bomb threat. I expected to see Pete, (possibly even Myka), Claudia and Artie around, but that doesn’t happen at first. As an ATF team prowls the building area, we see one agent hauling a suspect away, and immediately, we’re introduced to the newest character in WH13, Steve Jinks.

ALPHAS Series Premiere Preview. Plus, Enter to Win a T-Shirt!

Rounding out Syfy’s night of original programming is the series premiere of ALPHAS.

So what is the show about? According to a network press release, “ALPHAS follows a clandestine group of average everyday citizens with amazing abilities operating within the U.S. Department of Defense. Led by preeminent neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. Lee Rosen (Emmy Award-winner and Academy Award-nominee David Strathairn), the team investigates cases that point to others with abilities like theirs, and as they work against the clock to solve this new brand of crime, they must prevent their own personality differences and disparate backgrounds from interfering with their missions.”

I’ve screened the 90-minute pilot and it’s certainly a fun new show that roped me in. Check out the quick Syfy promo and let me know if you’ll be checking it out, too!

RIZZOLI & ISLES Season 2 Preview

Given all of tonight’s season premieres, it almost feels like summer television has finally kicked into high gear, doesn’t it? And for me, one of the highlights is TNT’s RIZZOLI & ISLES.

So what will Rizzoli and Isles be up to this year? (Yes, spoiler alert, Jane is fine after being shot. If you’re a title character, odds are you’ll survive most wounds received in the line of duty.)

Check out a behind-the-scenes video as the cast previews what’s to come in season two!

WAREHOUSE 13: Executive Producer Jack Kenny and New Series Star Aaron Ashmore Tease Steve’s Arrival in Season 3

WAREHOUSE 13 is back!

The new season brings a few changes: Myka is gone and Pete has a new partner. But is Myka’s departure permanent?

“That’s part of the fun of the season this year is [the question posed] in the first episode, ‘Is Myka coming back?'” WAREHOUSE 13 executive producer Jack Kenny teased on a recent conference call. “If she does, how is she coming back? How does [new series star] Aaron [Ashmore (Steve)] fit into all this?”

Indeed, the addition of Steve to the WH13 gang is a pleasant bonus, regardless of whether Myka returns or not. (My lips are sealed on that particular tidbit.) Like Pete, Steve has his own useful ability — he can tell when someone is lying.

THE GLEE PROJECT: ‘Dance Ability’ Recap

Sunday night on THE GLEE PROJECT we learned which contestants would follow Finn in wearing a “Can’t Dance” t-shirt when the week’s theme was “Dance-ability.” Harry Shum, Jr., was the mentor for the homework assignment and can I just say I want that guy to choreograph my life?! Love him! What I didn’t love? The group number to “Hey Soul Sister.” I would be OK if I never heard that song again – I even skip it on my Warblers CD!

After picking Samuel as the winner, Harry announced the music video would be “Can’t Touch This” and Hannah’s face lit up. Did you know she fancies herself a rapper? And she pulls it off!

After an emotional blow up, Adrian is left crushed once again, while Ben’s grief threatens to lead him down a dangerous path. Meanwhile, Jack walks in on Grace and her new boyfriend Daniel kissing, and Jack reveals that he’s not over her, making Grace wonder if she still has feelings for Jack.

LEVERAGE: Michael Gladis Previews His Guest Spot

TNT’s LEVERAGE is bringing out a strong roster of guest stars this season, and tonight’s brand new episode features former MAD MEN star Michael Gladis as Lee Rockwell.

But how does Rockwell fit into the LEVERAGE world? To get some answers, Give Me My Remote spoke with Gladis about his time on the show.

“Lee Rockwell is a PR expert who goes to great lengths to protect his clients,” Gladis teased. “And sometimes those lengths include destroying the lives of his client’s enemies or character assassination. He’s certainly someone who operates behind the scenes, so he doesn’t like it and he doesn’t trust it when someone who isn’t a client tries to figure out what it is exactly that he does. He doesn’t really welcome anybody coming in to his world who isn’t going to work with him.”
