GLEE: Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale Talk Season 4, Their ’90s Dream Songs, and More

Comments Off on GLEE: Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale Talk Season 4, Their ’90s Dream Songs, and More

GLEE’s New Directions may have finally won it all last season, but that just means the pressure has increased for this year’s crop of singers to live up to the hype. After all, it would stink for Artie, Tina, Brittany, Blaine, and Sam to not have the same success in their senior year that the recently-graduated students had.

But what do the actors hope happens for their characters as they gear up for graduation? Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina) and Kevin McHale (Artie) sat down with reporters at Comic-Con and talked about getting to play seniors, what songs they’d want to sing (hint: ’90s!), and much more…

FRINGE’s John Noble: There Has to be a Resolution to Walter’s Actions

August 22, 2012 by  
Filed under #1 featured, Fringe

As much as many FRINGE fans adore Walter Bishop, the harsh reality is that his actions (in both timelines) laid the groundwork for much of the chaos and mass destruction we’ve seen play out over the past four seasons of the series.

“When we finally saw what Walter did 28 years ago, obviously borne out of love for his son, he as much as admitted he was willing to play God — risk what he understood to be potentially damaging two universes to save this boy,” former FRINGE showrunner Jeff Pinkner said last year. “We can all understand his choice. We would all make the same choice, we don’t have to support it and we’ve been witnessing…the consequences. Had we played that [“Peter”] episode first, Walter’s the big villain [of the show]. But because we know him and we love him and we see the consequences, we understand why he did it, suddenly it becomes an understandable act. And we’re telling a show about science — science is not good or bad. It’s the application of it that is good or bad and our storytelling is the same.”

And as we head into the final season of the Fox series, it would almost be fitting for that to come full-circle.

It’s time for the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE all-stars to make their return! Or, if you’re into scripted drama, there are a few shows that could fill your night.

Take a look at what’s on!

So You Think You Can Dance | 8pm on Fox
“Top 14 Perform/Third Elimination”
The Top 10 finalists perform, this time with a SYTYCD All-Star dancer with an expertise in ballroom, ballet, hip-hop, contemporary, or jazz. After their performances, we will find out which two dancers will be ending their journeys. Tune in to see if your favorites make the cut and who is sent home.

Oh Sit! | 8pm on The CW
“Episode 103”
In this fun, high-stakes, high-octane musical chairs competition, 12 thrill-seeking daredevils race head-to-head through five physically demanding, chair-splitting obstacle course-style eliminations as they each compete to claim a chair – all to the sounds of a live band. At the end of the hour, only one contestant will be left sitting triumphant to seize the cash prize and the title of OH SIT! champion. The show is hosted by Jamie Kennedy (“The Ghost Whisperer”) and actress/television host Jessi Cruickshank (“MTV Live”). Adding to the fun, Tanika Ray (“Extra”) will be in the trenches with the contestants both on and off the track, and will add color commentary from the sidelines as the action unfolds. The musical guest is The Speakers (“And Her Too”).

‘We Have Thoughts’ Vodcast: Danielle and Marisa Talk About the Disappointing Dramas

Comments Off on ‘We Have Thoughts’ Vodcast: Danielle and Marisa Talk About the Disappointing Dramas

As we inch closer to the new television season, there are inevitably some shows that are going to disappoint us. Does that mean they’re terrible shows? Not necessarily. But sometimes the promise of what could be makes what ends up on our television screens so disappointing.

Case in point, the three shows my friend Danielle Turchiano (from Made Possible By Pop Culture) and I sat down to talk about in the latest edition of our vodcast, “We Have Thoughts.” Were these three shows disappointing? Absolutely. (Varying degrees of disappointment because I had different levels of expectation, but disappointing nonetheless.) Will I continue to watch them? Almost certainly. I hope they grow, I hope they prove me wrong and I hope to find myself in a position where I grow to love them.

So with that being said, here are the drama shows we’re a bit disappointed about for Fall 2012.

Filed under #1 featured, The Office, TV News

The end is coming for our friends at Dunder Mifflin — executive producer Greg Daniels told reporters on a conference call earlier today that the upcoming ninth season will be the final year for THE OFFICE.

But just because THE OFFICE is concluding, that doesn’t mean we’re necessarily saying goodbye to all of these characters. One of the remaining episodes will be a backdoor pilot for the potential new THE OFFICE spinoff which is set to focus on Dwight and his family.

Are you sad THE OFFICE is coming to an end?

Filed under NBC, TV News

Michael J. Fox is returning to NBC: 30 years after FAMILY TIES’ debut, NBC has landed the rights to Fox’s new comedy series and ordered a full 22 episode season before production has even begun on the pilot.

“To bring Michael J. Fox back to NBC is a supreme honor and we are thrilled that one of the great comedic television stars is coming home again,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman of NBC Entertainment, in a statement. “From the moment we met with Michael to hear his unique point of view about this new show, we were completely captivated and on board. He is utterly relatable, optimistic, and in a class by himself, and I have no doubt that the character he will create – and the vivid family characters surrounding him – will be both instantly recognizable and hilarious. Being in business with him is a supreme pleasure.”

Comments Off on Matt Davis on Going From THE VAMPIRE DIARIES To CULT

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES has had its share of tragedies over the years, but one of the more painful losses recently was the vamping and subsequent death of Matt Davis’ Alaric.

Recently, Davis sat down with reporters to talk about leaving TVD, moving to CULT, and what he’ll be doing on his new series…
