Comments Off on MADAM SECRETARY: What You Need to Know About the New CBS Series
There are a ton, ton, ton of new shows launching this season, and it’s going to get difficult to keep track of them all.
To help you out, for every new show, I’m going to basically create a hub of info on the day of the premiere — pilot photos, what’s been written about it so far, and when you can watch it.
Next up, MADAM SECRETARY…
MADAM SECRETARY
âÂÂPilotâ -- MADAM SECRETARY, a new CBS drama, stars Téa Leoni as Elizabeth McCord, the shrewd, determined, newly appointed Secretary of State who drives international diplomacy, battles office politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home.

Comments Off on SLEEPY HOLLOW Season 2: ‘This is War’ and ‘The Kindred’ You Ask, I Answer
SLEEPY HOLLOW’s first season was insane, and the show capped it off with one of the most jaw-dropping/twisty finales in recent memory. (And it was awesome.)
After eight months off the air, SLEEPY HOLLOW will finally return with new episodes this Monday, and I had the chance to watch the first two hours — “This is War” (fka “Hellfire”) and “The Kindred”…and really, I want to talk to you guys about them. So I did the next best thing and answered some of your questions about the hours…

Comments Off on GOTHAM: Ben McKenzie and Donal Logue on Their On-Screen Partnership, Cases, and More
We’re just a few days away from GOTHAM’s premiere, and one of the dynamics I’m so excited for you guys to see (and for the show to explore further) is the partnership between Ben McKenzie’s Jim Gordon and Donal Logue’s Harvey Bullock. (The two characters have quite an interesting — and reluctant — working relationship. It’s delicious.)
I sat down with McKenzie and Logue to talk about their characters’ relationship, playing cops on-screen (again), how cases will be balanced in GOTHAM, and more…

Comments Off on THE VOICE Season 7 Blind Audition: ‘That’s How Strong My Love Is’
THE VOICE returns next week, and after seeing the season 7 premiere, A) this may be the best chemistry the coaches have ever had (I was laughing for most of episode), and b) the talent is INSANE.
NBC already released one blind audition, and now they’ve released another great one (which is set to be the first blind of the season).

CASTLE Season 7 Premiere: ‘Driven’ You Ask, I Answer
September 18, 2014 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, Castle
CASTLE left fans in quite the position when the sixth season concluded — instead of Beckett and Castle getting their happily ever after, Castle’s car was run off the road, and he was presumed dead. (Though, the show is called CASTLE. So while he may be MIA, odds of him actually being dead were slim.)
And with the premiere less than two weeks away, ABC made “Driven” available to press. Unsurprisingly, when I asked for your questions, you guys came out in droves. Unfortunately, a lot of what you wanted to know was on the list of things I can’t talk about (or things I don’t think it’s right to flat-out spoil), so I can’t answer as many questions as you might like. But hopefully you’ll get some fun teases out of this…

Comments Off on SLEEPY HOLLOW Season 2: Nicole Beharie on Finding Abbie’s Strength, Mills Family Insight, New Monsters, and More
We’re just days away from SLEEPY HOLLOW’s season 2 premiere, and now that the show has laid its groundwork for the delightful insanity that’s ahead, the writers and actors have the opportunity to dig deeper into the characters we’ve grown to love.
Case in point: Abbie Mills.
Viewers learned a bit about Abbie last season (she’s a witness, she has a complicated relationship with her sister, etc.), but this year, we’ll learn a lot more about her and her history. (Thanks in part to the addition of her mother.)
I sat down with SLEEPY HOLLOW star Nicole Beharie (Abbie) to talk about exploring Abbie (and her relationships) more thoroughly, finding Abbie’s strength, the show’s fun craziness, and more…
BONES: David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel Tease the Biggest Challenge Booth and Brennan Have Faced

When BONES returns next Thursday, Booth and Brennan will be separated — he will be in jail (and not faring well), while Brennan will be free, trying to clear his name.
But Booth and Brennan have been through a lot over the years (Pelant, Gravedigger, etc.)…so where does this latest bit of trauma fit in with what they’ve survived so far? BONES stars David Boreanaz (Booth) and Emily Deschanel (Brennan) weighed in on that, and offered some unique (and ridiculously adorable) teases about the first couple of episodes…
