AMERICAN HORROR STORY Recap: ‘Piggy Piggy’

After tying up the Halloween two-parter last week, AMERICAN HORROR STORY was back to business as usual last night. That meant no Hayden, no Chad, no Larry, no gimp suit. Instead, we got Eric Stonestreet guest starring as a man with a crippling fear of urban legends (fitting that MODERN FAMILY had the night off), Sarah Paulson as a medium employed by Constance, and Vivien causally eating brains. (So I guess “usual” is relative.)

So which show amused us today?

Adam, what are you doing?! Lurking and pouting over Cassie? Diana? Someone else?

CASTLE Creator Andrew Marlowe on the Show’s People’s Choice Award Nominations

While the Emmys may snub some of our favorite shows, at least we have the People’s Choice Awards to give them some love. And the fact that the fans are the ones who are responsible for the nominations? That’s the icing on the cake.

“[The nominations] mean a lot because it comes from the fans,” CASTLE creator Andrew Marlowe told me about his show’s first People’s Choice Award nominations.

Jim Cantiello’s Hilarious New GLEE’-Cap – ‘Soft Focus Sexin’

The only thing better than last night’s episode of GLEE is Jim Cantiello’s MTV ‘GLEE’-cap. I’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for this video all day!

If you’re a fan of GLEE and don’t know about Jim’s legendary post-ep assessments, then do yourself a favor and go searching for them on MTV or YouTube. Each week he has me rolling…and he certainly didn’t disappoint this week.

StarKid Says Bye to YouTube with The SPACE Tour – Give Me My Remote.com Exclusive

In the 6+ years since starting Give Me My Remote.com, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing some of my very favorite television stars. One thing that never changes is how surreal it is to talk with someone, face-to-face, whom you’ve only ever seen on your TV.

So imagine how very odd it is to sit across from actors who you know only from YouTube.

Such was my experience recently when I had the immense pleasure of hanging with members of Team StarKid while they rehearsed for their recently launched SPACE Tour.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with StarKid, they are a theater group based in Chicago but born from the University of Michigan theater program. StarKid rose to cult fame when A Very Potter Musical –  a musical parody based on the ‘Harry Potter’ series – became an instant internet sensation. Originally posted on YouTube so it could be viewed by friends and family who couldn’t be in attendance for the original performance, A Very Potter Musical quickly and organically found its way into the hearts of the uber-passionate Potter fandom and from there a new fandom was born – the StarKid fandom.

HARRY’S LAW Preview: ‘American Girl’

Even if you’re not a regular viewer of HARRY’S LAW, tonight’s brand new episode, “American Girl” is so worth checking out.

To be clear, this isn’t an easy episode to watch — the lawyers deal with a custody case of a child stolen from her birth parents at the age of two. This poor girl has spent the past four years with a new family, but (obviously) her biological parents want her back. There is no good solution and the episode (and the final verdict) broke my heart a little.

Intrigued? Check out a clip from the episode…

THE X FACTOR: Steve Jones Talks About Keeping the Show Running on Schedule

If you’ve been watching THE X FACTOR, you know that host Steve Jones has managed to do what seemed unthinkable — keep the live shows moving at a brisk pace and manage to not run over its time slot. (Our DVRs thank him, too.)

However, since Jones has had to hurry along a few of the judges in order to keep the show going, is he worried they might “rebel” one day during a live episode?

I caught up with Jones backstage after last week’s elimination show and asked him that very thing…

About Last Night…GLEE, NEW GIRL and UNFORGETTABLE

While I was embarrassed about how little I watched on Sunday and Monday, Tuesday is even worse — I only had the chance to watch GLEE and parts of NEW GIRL and UNFORGETTABLE. (Though I promise some of you will be really happy about why I was barely able to watch TV.)

So while it may not have been much, let’s talk about what did go down on TV last night…

RINGER Recap: ‘Maybe We Can Get a Dog Instead?’

Well, RINGER proved me wrong — last week, I predicted Bridget would actually be pregnant. But guess what? It turns out she’s not.

I, for one, am glad RINGER did not to go this route. Let’s be honest, does this show really need any more complications?

The series has dipped briefly into the world of baseball in an earlier episode, but tonight’s hour has Shawn going undercover as a coach. He sure looks like he fits right in, doesn’t he?
