CHUCK Recap: ‘Chuck vs. the Business Trip’

THE MISSION– Carmicheal Industries has no paying client (yet again!).  After their big score with the U.S. Government they find they must protect one of their own.  Clyde Decker, the C.I.A.’s agent you love to hate, has posted a kill order on Morgan Grimes.  With the help of General Beckman and a pair of slick new shades, Morgan is de-intersected.  The hit is called off, with the exception of “The Viper,” an assassin that goes dark and is unreachable whom Decker says he may have used on purpose.  Chuck plans to lure “The Viper” out of hiding by pretending to be Morgan at the Buy More sales convention.

Want New Episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT? You Got It! Find Out Where and When

At long last…it’s actually happening.

Are you ready for this?

New episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT are coming our way in 2013. Yes, I said new episodes.

According to Variety, Netflix has worked out a deal with 20th Century Fox and Imagine Television to bring the Bluth’s back. The studio just confirmed a deal with the streaming service that will launch new episodes of the Emmy-winning comedy as early as 2013.

Last month, at The New York Television Festival ,the producers announced that the much discussed ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie was indeed happening, but the news of new episodes took a lot of fans by surprise.

Star Jason Batemen confirmed the news via Twitter saying, “It’s true. We will do 10 episodes and the movie. Probably shoot them all together next summer for a release in early ’13. VERY excited!”

We hear you Jason, and we are VERY excited, too.

Where are all by Bluth-heads? Are you all excited for the return of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT? Talk to me.

Oh, ABC…how could you?!

Just days after NBC caused an uproar by benching COMMUNITY, ABC’s midseason schedule was just revealed sans the already MIA COUGAR TOWN.

Sigh.

The good news is there are some excellent midseason shows debuting in 2012 from ABC, so take a look at those premiere dates…

NIKITA Preview: ‘Fair Trade’

With things ending pretty dramatically for Michael and Nikita in last week’s episode of NIKITA, the momentum doesn’t slow down in tonight’s brand new hour, “Fair Trade.”

If you need an incentive to watch, Nikita manages to be badass (make sure to check out the clip below for one of crazy-awesome moves) and intensely vulnerable as she continues on without her absent boyfriend. The episode also features one my all-time favorite Maggie Q scenes of the series, but I don’t want to say too much to spoil it.

Elsewhere, as if Amanda wasn’t scary enough before, her tactics in tonight’s hour will make you squirm. She’s badass in an entirely evil way.

Intrigued? Check out this clip from “Fair Trade”…

DEXTER Renewed for 2 Seasons

It seems DEXTER’s time isn’t up quite yet — Showtime has officially renewed the series for two more seasons.

“DEXTER’s enormous success is a real tribute to the great achievements of its cast, producers, and the powerhouse performance of Michael C. Hall,” David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc, said in a statement. “The series is bigger than it’s ever been in its sixth season, both in terms of audience and its impact on the cultural landscape.  Together with Michael, the creative team on the show has a very clear sense of where they intend to take the show over the next two seasons and, as a huge fan, I’m excited to watch the story of Dexter Morgan play out.”

Michael C. Hall added, “On behalf of the entire DEXTER family, we relish the invitation to delve ever deeper into Dexter’s world.”

What do you think? Are you happy DEXTER will be on our screens for at least two more years?

About Last Night…THE X FACTOR, THE BIG BANG THEORY, BONES and More

Thursday night TV was…tame?!

Maybe I’m crazy, but on a Thursday night during November sweeps, I expected to be insanely busy trying to catch everything on television. Instead, I managed to be caught up on what I intended to watch by 10:15.

So on that note, let’s talk about last night’s television…

Happy Friday, guys! Time for one last SNAP JUDGMENT for the week!

Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Friday, November 18, 2011

BONES Recap: ‘The Prince in the Plastic’

Hey, BONES fans! Did you have something like the Prince Charmington doll? I have to admit that sort of thing wasn’t my deal as a kid. I did have The Heart Family and a hand-me-down Barbie convertible, but that was about it. Most of the time, I was playing Uno or kick-ball in the yard. Or reading. Yes, I was mostly reading. I wouldn’t say that I didn’t have any of those kinds of toy experiences, but all in all,  I suppose I was more like Brennan (though this poses an interesting point…Max and Christine Brennan were “all science-all the time”? Thoughts?!?), and I felt a tiny twinge when Cam, Daisy and Angela all declared that EVERYONE had a Prince Charmington doll. While none of us really did, I could certainly identify with Brennan NOT having had that alleged shared experience. But enough about toys, for now…let’s discuss this episode. Starting with…

Jimmy Fallon Sings the Themes for FRESH PRICE OF BEL AIR and CHARLES IN CHARGE on the TONIGHT SHOW

Jimmy Fallon continued his string of random musical excellence with his guest appearance on Thursday’s episode of THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO.

No, it wasn’t enough for Fallon to simply sing the theme songs of two classic shows. Instead, he played the harmonica, strummed the guitar and sang the theme song for FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR as Neil Young and the CHARLES IN CHARGE song as Bob Dylan.

As you may have guessed, the result was pretty epic…

SUPERNATURAL: Jason Dohring to Guest Star

Is it too soon to make Jason Dohring a new mascot for The CW?

Not only is the former VERONICA MARS actor currently recurring on RINGER, but Give Me My Remote has confirmed that Dohring has landed a guest spot on an upcoming episode of SUPERNATURAL.

According to TVLine (who was first to report the casting news), Dohring will play Chronos, the God of Time, in the 12th episode of the season.

Considering that hour is a time-travel episode — also featuring former THE X-FILES star Nick Lea — do you think Chronos is up to no good?
