Comments Off on ONCE UPON A TIME: Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis Tease a ‘Wonder’-ful Episode 17
ONCE UPON A TIME’s first season has delighted in showing us the different aspects to the fairytale characters we’ve known for years, but an upcoming episode is set to take things even further with a non-fairytale story.
With so many rumors about what’s going on in episode 17, it only seemed to fair to go to the source for some answers to our questions. ONCE UPON A TIME creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis talked with a small group of reporters earlier today to tease what fans can expect from the mysterious hour…

THE BIG BANG THEORY!
I’m going to be completely honest — half the reason I chose this picture is because I am incredibly jealous of how comfy Sheldon looks…

Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid on THE X FACTOR’s Shakeups and Rumors

Comments Off on Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid on THE X FACTOR’s Shakeups and Rumors
For many fans of THE X FACTOR’s first season, the January 30th exit of judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger, and host Steve Jones was not only shocking, but a disappointing turn of events. The only good news? All sides seem to be respectful about the split.
“I spoke to [Paula] on the night it was announced and I spoke to Steve,” Simon Cowell told reporters on a conference call earlier today. “I was going to speak to Nicole, but we were in different time zones, so we couldn’t actually speak ourselves. All of them, they’ve been incredibly gracious and respectful. They’re friends and there were certain reasons the changes were made. Shows always have to change and evolve over the years, and at this particular time, it was decided to do it sooner rather than later. But it wasn’t anything about them. I think there are huge opportunities for us working with all of them [in the future]. And I’m not just saying that, I think it actually will happen.”

RINGER Recap: ‘Whores Don’t Make That Much’

Comments Off on RINGER Recap: ‘Whores Don’t Make That Much’
Oh, RINGER fans. Where do I begin with this week’s episode?
I, it seems unlike a lot of people, actually liked the twist in last week’s episode. I thought it was fitting of Juliet’s character and added some spice that’s been sorely missing.
But I may have been wrong because this week’s episode, partly focusing on last week’s events, was a dud. The writing was inconsistent, the flashbacks were largely unnecessary and the pacing was slow.
Even when RINGER has better episodes, and there have been some I’ve really liked, I find it hard to get excited for the following week. With episodes like this one, I may even forget it’s on at all next Tuesday.

SOUTHLAND: Regina King Talks About Lydia’s Pregnancy, Changing Partners and More

Being a pregnant television character is rarely easy — rarely is the baby planned, they always seem to have to deliver in the most ridiculous places imaginable — but the stakes are raised to a whole other level when said character is a cop.
For SOUTHLAND’s Regina King (Lydia), the trouble for her recently-pregnant character comes to a head in tonight’s brand new episode.
What can fans expect? I hopped on the phone with King to see what she could tease…
NBC Sets Series Premiere Dates for BENT and BEST FRIENDS FOREVER, COMMUNITY’s Return, Bumps PARKS & REC and LAW & ORDER: SVU, and More

I hope you weren’t particularly attached to the current NBC lineup, because things are about to majorly change.
First, the good news: As COMMUNITY creator Dan Harmon first tweeted, the comedy will return from its midseason break on Thursday, March 15th at 8 PM.
Unfortunately, that move bumps 30 ROCK, the show that is currently residing in that spot, to 8:30 PM — meaning PARKS & REC will take a break until April 19th, where it will take UP ALL NIGHT’s 9:30 PM slot. (UAN will have concluded its first season by then.)
Oh, but there’s more…
