THE SIMPSONS: Al Jean on ‘Nedna,’ Guest Stars, Season 23 and More

It’s crazy to think about, but THE SIMPSONS kicks off its 23rd season tonight. That’s nearly 500 episodes of TV!

So what can they come up with next to keep viewers on their toes?

I sat down with THE SIMPSONS executive producer Al Jean to discuss the future of “Nedna” (Ned and Edna, a potential couple, whose future was decided by fan voting after the season finale), upcoming guest stars, and more season 23 goodies…

THE CLEVELAND SHOW: Mike Henry and Rich Appel Tease Season 3

Take a look!

The Good Wife | 9pm on CBS

Season Premiere: While the staff at Lockhart/Gardner adjusts to new realities and relationships, Alicia must put aside distractions in her personal life to defend a Muslim student accused of murdering a Jewish classmate.

FRINGE: Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman on the Season Premiere and What’s to Come

Now that both coasts have seen the FRINGE season premiere, what did you guys think?

There was some major groundwork laid for what could be coming up this season, an act of rebellion, a new enemy and some pretty new credits for the show.

As you may have suspected, I had a few questions after I viewed the episode, so I grilled FRINGE executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman to see what they were willing to share…

SUPERNATURAL: Sera Gamble and Robert Singer on Season 7’s Premiere and What’s to Come

[Warning: if you haven’t seen the season 7 premiere of SUPERNATURAL, turn away now. The following post includes spoilers on key elements of the hour and you won’t want to have it ruined.]

What did you guys think of the SUPERNATURAL season premiere?

We got a whole new side of Castiel, a couple of familiar faces popped back up again and where should we even start on the crazy ending?

To better make sense of what went down, SUPERNATURAL executive producers Sera Gamble and Robert Singer sat down with reporters to discuss the insane premiere…

FRINGE Recap: ‘Neither Here Nor There’

“They don’t remember Peter.”
“How could they? He never existed.”

With those words, the third season finale of FRINGE broke our brains a teeny tiny bit. Immediately after Peter bridged the two universes — and thereby preventing the destruction of at least one — he promptly disappeared from existence.

And then the show went off the air for months and left us going a wee bit crazy trying to figure out where the heck they could go from there.

Thankfully, it’s time for the new season. So while we’ve been asking all summer, “Where is Peter Bishop?” hopefully, the answers will start making themselves clear.

What down in “Neither Here Nor There”? Let’s chat…

CHUCK Season 5 Promo

The fifth and final season of CHUCK returns to NBC on Friday, October 21st.  And yes, I agree…that’s just too long to wait.

You know what makes waiting just a bit easier?  A new CHUCK promo.

Check out the bad-asses of Carmichael Industries show you what they can do! If only I had some kind of international threat – I would hire these people in a heartbeat.

Are you as excited as I am for the new season of CHUCK?

I’m going to savor each one of these 13 episodes.

 

FRINGE: John Noble on Walter Without Peter, Walternate and Season 4

It’s FRINGE Friday!

After months of questions, theories, teasers and more, it’s finally time for the FRINGE season 4 premiere! We’ve already shared a little bit from what FRINGE executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman were willing to tease, and now it’s time for star John Noble (Walter) to hint at what’s to come this season for his characters.

When will we see Walternate again? Who is Walter going on a road trip with? Watch the interview below for that and more!

Brandy Talks MAJORS & MINORS

In case science-fiction isn’t really your thing, there aren’t a whole lot of options for you to watch on television Friday nights. The good news is The Hub is trying to help you out.

Tonight at 8 PM, their new music competition series MAJORS & MINORS debuts — but before you lament yet another reality competition show, this one is a bit different.

M&M follows 12 young performers (ages 10-16), who are mentored by some of the biggest names in music to try and win the grand prize of a recording deal with RCA/Jive and the chance to appear in a cross-country tour. Unlike other singing competitions, no one is voted off each week, which is a bit of a relief. (Who wants to see devastated children every week?!)

GLEE Spoilers: “I Am Unicorn” Teasers

I just had the chance to screen “I am Unicorn”, this Tuesday’s episode of GLEE. There was a small (very small) part of me that didn’t want to watch the episode early as it meant that I would have to wait that much longer for episode 3. But I quickly got over that and pressed PLAY.

Before we get started…

My fellow die-hard GLEEks are a passionate bunch, this I know. So I think it’s only fair to set your expectations that this post – in the words of Quinn Fabray –  is all about the teasin’ and not necessarily the pleasin’. While I hope to share a few tidbits that will get you more excited about next week’s episode I’m not about spoiling major plot points for you.

If you are the type of fan that is going to be annoyed with me for not spilling everything there is to know, (yes, I’m talking to those of you on Tumblr who wanted to kill my first born earlier today) then it’s probably best that you NOT read this and just wait to watch the episode yourself on Tuesday.

On the other hand, if you are a fan that has a wavering line when it comes to what constitutes a spoiler, then you might want to stay away too as it’s not my intention to ruin the episode in any capacity for you.

With those caveats and disclaimers out of the way, let’s talk about “I Am Unicorn”.

SUPERNATURAL: Sera Gamble and Robert Singer Tease Season 7

When SUPERNATURAL ended their sixth season, fan-favorite Castiel took a seemingly darker turn and promoted himself to God. (Angel or not, that’s still a pretty freakin’ huge promotion.) As you may have seen in the promos for the new year, Castiel has let the power go a bit to his head and during tonight’s premiere, he sets out to right some very specific wrongs committed by a few not-so-good people.

But given the variety of things Castiel objects to (and how sensitive the topics could be), how did the writers land on what should catch the new God’s ire?

A GIFTED MAN Series Preview

One of the best parts about this time of the television season is being pleasantly surprised by pilots. And one the shows that unexpectedly entertained me? The new CBS drama, A GIFTED MAN, which debuts tonight at 8 PM.

So what’s the show about?

According to CBS, “A GIFTED MAN is a drama starring Patrick Wilson as Michael Holt, a charismatic, ultra-motivated surgeon whose life changes forever when his deceased ex-wife begins teaching him the meaning of life from the ‘hereafter.'” And while it does fit in with their brand of supernaturally-themed shows that used to be on their Friday lineup, I found myself drawn to this in a way I never was to MEDIUM and THE GHOST WHISPERER.

Check out a few previews from the new series!

ALL MY CHILDREN: Susan Lucci on Erica Kane’s Television Legacy

With ALL MY CHILDREN ending its ABC run today, there is no doubt television is losing out on something really special. And of course, with Susan Lucci likely not moving to the online version of the soap, today’s show is potentially the last time viewers will get to see Erica Kane.

Lucci sat down with reporters last month to talk about the end of AMC’s run on ABC and she was asked what she thought Erica Kane’s legacy would be. Her answer is lovely, thoughtful and (if you’re an AMC fan), may make you tear up a little bit…

Well, I have been traveling around the country a lot lately and I’ve had — this is just so amazing to me —  women come up to me and say, it’s because of Erica Kane that I became a lawyer. It’s because of Erica Kane that I believed in myself enough to start my own business, to get my Master’s degree, to go back to school, to do whatever it was that they wanted to do. That thrills me. That in spite of all of her flaws and naughtiness, that what they get from her is her spirit and that she refused to live her life as a victim and that she picks herself up and goes forward. So, you know, that’s touched me a great deal.

Also, women from all over the country will come up to me and say, “I learned to speak English by watching Erica Kane.” I was taught as an actress that a really good sign of acting is that if you don’t understand exactly what they’re saying, the words, but you know what’s going on, and that they thought she was somebody that they would switch over all those dials and they decided to watch me and learn to speak English from me. I do ask them sometimes, “Did you become a big diva?” [Laughs] But those kinds of things are amazing to me. And s people say, vixen and willful and femme fatale and all of that and that’s, I have no problem with that type! I’m happy people are thinking that. That’s fun as an actress but what makes me really, really happy is that they also got the heart. They also got the heart and the humor from her and that she wasn’t nasty and bitchy for its own sake. That she was looking for love and they could get that. They understood that and I think that’s identifiable. I think that’s relatable. I don’t know if that’s the answer to a legacy question, I don’t know. I guess time will tell.

Erica Kane, you will be missed.

NIKITA: Shane West and Craig Silverstein on Season 2’s ‘Paradigm Shift,’ Mikita, and Why Alex is ‘In Over Her Head’

NIKITA fans, as someone who didn’t start watching the show from day one (trust me, I saw the error of my ways around midseason last year) but has since caught up at an alarmingly fast pace, it was a thrill to be able to watch this year’s season opener. I can tell you with certainty that it does not disappoint. There’s a reason I started watching the show, and it’s because of episodes like this one! So let’s talk “Game Change”…
