HOUSE Recap: Changes

Hey, HOUSE fans, Erik is out of town this week, so our regular recap of the show — usually of the highest quality, of course — is suffering. But even in his absence, we want to talk about what went down on HOUSE this week.

Cuddy’s mother… what a piece of work!! Can you believe she threatened to sue the hospital? How do you guys feel about this character? Do you want to see Candice Bergen on the show again or have you had enough?

And how about House and Cuddy? Any thoughts on their current situation?

Did you enjoy seeing Chase and Foreman face off? And should we possibly get Chase into a sex addiction rehab facility?

Let’s discuss!

And please feel free to weigh in on the case of the week as well!

 

ONE TREE HILL’s James Lafferty on Nathan’s Mission, Leaving the Show and What’s Next

As season eight of ONE TREE HILL barrels toward its finale next month, a few things are up in the air. Like, you know, whether or not the show will come back in the fall.

But before we get there, we’ll see the kids of Tree Hill tying up a storyline or two. GIVE ME MY REMOTE spoke with James Lafferty about what’s going on with his character, Nathan, now that Haley’s given birth to their new baby.

Lafferty also shared his thoughts on whether he’ll return if ONE TREE HILL does get another season and what’s next for him…

So, what’s up with Nathan this week?
JAMES LAFFERTY: Nathan is going to switch gears a little bit, from being a proud new father to being somewhat of a detective, trying to figure out what role Professor Kellerman played in the car crash that happened a few episodes back. You know, Nathan sees a car that matches the description of the car that ran into Lauren on the bridge. So, he has to figure out what happened and, when he does find out, how to deal with it.

NURSE JACKIE’s Peter Facinelli on the Return of Coop’s Lesbian Moms, Marriage and More

If you’ve been watching NURSE JACKIE since its glorious first season, you know that the well-meaning but often dim-witted Dr. Cooper has two pretty interesting moms.

Blythe Danner and Swoosie Kurtz played the committed lesbian couple that raised Coop and, on this Monday’s NURSE JACKIE, his mommies return — to announce their imminent divorce.

Unfortunately, Danner was busy doing another project during the filming of this episode, so her role had to be recast. Luckily, Judith Light was able to step in.

GIVE ME MY REMOTE spoke with Dr. Cooper himself, Mr. Peter Facinelli, about the storyline…

Season 2 Premiere: In the thick of post-Katrina New Orleans, the HBO drama opens its second season, continuing to explore the series’ gritty, real characters and their day-to-day struggles. Colson and the police department work hard to keep crime under control, while Albert looks for a place to crash, Annie returns from her tour, and Sofia’s demeanor starts to worry Toni.

THE OFFICE Casting Exclusive: Jim Carrey To Guest Star

As if this season’s finale of THE OFFICE wasn’t already star-studded enough with Ricky Gervais, Will Arnett, Ray Romano, James Spader, Catherine Tate and Will Ferrell — who made his debut in last week’s episode — guest starring, several reliable sources tell GIVE ME MY REMOTE that Jim Carrey is now joining the esteemed group.

Though NBC could not confirm this news, I have it on very good authority that Carrey’s deal to appear in THE OFFICE finale has been signed, sealed and delivered.

No word on what he’ll be playing. But I think we should begin speculating!

THE OFFICE season seven finale, which will see the departure of star Steve Carell, airs May 19th.

PARENTHOOD Finale Preview: Peep the Family Drama

So, PARENTHOOD is pretty much the best drama on network TV right now. Have I mentioned that before? Okay, sure, it’s a matter of opinion, but PARENTHOOD truly is so much better than the lack of attention it’s garnering right now.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS fans, if you’re not watching, you really should. You’re into heart. You’re into character. You’re into realistic portrayals of life struggles. PARENTHOOD has all these things. And the same showrunner as FNL as well. Jason Katims’ fingerprints, like that of a skilled artist, are all over this show. And I’m so bummed that the finale airs tonight. PARENTHOOD has been the highlight of this TV season for me.

In this evening’s episode, Sarah (Lauren Graham) and the rest of the family worry about Amber’s well-being after the car accident she was in last week. Max’s behavior upsets Adam (Peter Krause). Julia (Erika Christenson) unexpectedly plays a big role in a woman’s labor and delivery, which is difficult since she was just told that she may not be able to conceive again. Kristina helps with Haddie’s transition into womanhood after asking Haddie if she and her boyfriend are having sex. Crosby, still trying to win Jasmine back, tries to convince her to visit the new home he bought for them.

GAME OF THRONES Renewed for Season 2

HBO has renewed GAME OF THRONES for a second season after the premiere drew decent ratings.

More than 2.2 million viewers tuned into the fantasy series’ debut — based on George R.R. Martin’s book — on Sunday.

The show will cost HBO nearly $50 million per season, but the network apparently feels confident in THRONES’ potential.

GAME OF THRONES, which revolves around a fictional world filled with sex — often of the incestuous kind — scheming, debauchery and the like, seems to be striking a chord with its audience.

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER’s Craig Thomas Talks John Lithgow’s Return

A few weeks back, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER finally introduced its audience to the father of one Mr. Barney Stinson in an episode that was both hilarious and heartbreakingly poignant.

With Barney realizing that his long lost pops, played brilliantly by John Lithgow, is just a regular guy who lives with his family in the suburbs, there was a great deal of sadness surrounding the question of why he couldn’t be that same stable dude for Barney. You know, if he hasn’t been busy being awesome all this time, what’s his excuse for the 30-year disappearing act?

This Monday, with their father-son situation still unresolved, Barney attempts to pull his dad back into the partying scene.

“The next episode is all about where those two guys stand with each other now that they’re in contact,” explains HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER co-creator Craig Thomas. “With the first Barney’s dad episode, ‘Legendaddy,’ we loved the idea that it wouldn’t all be so easy. You know, these two really haven’t seen each other in 30 years, so resolving [their issues] would be a little too simplistic. So it really ended on a bittersweet note — maybe these guys will form a relationship, but we don’t know.”

Thomas says this next episode picks up from there and shows a second attempt at connecting, the first one having not quite taken: “It’s an episode in which Barney tries to lure his father back into the world of partying and drinking and being awesome ’til all hours of the night and it winds up having unintended consequences. A very reluctant John Lithgow is dragged kicking and screaming into this. His drive, as it was in his first episode, is still just to connect with his son. He has so much guilt that he wasn’t there for Barney throughout his life that he ends up going along for the ride of this wild night with Barney and the gang and it all blows up in their faces and goes horribly awry in some pretty fun ways. It leads to, among other things, a very funny, awkward, embarrassing scene in which John Lithgow gets down on the dance floor with some sick, sweet 70s moves that he hasn’t dusted off in a couple decades.”

So, for these folks — as well as those who may just need a refresher course after nine, long Cougar-less weeks — let’s review where the cul-de-sac crew was last we saw them.

Rewind back a couple months to Valentine’s Day…

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS’ Matt Lauria Talks Season 5, CHICAGO CODE

It’s been a year since FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS filmed its fifth and final season, and several months since the finale first aired on DirecTV. But for many fans who don’t subscribe to the cable service, the swan song season of FNL starts this Friday when it debuts at 8 p.m. on NBC.

To honor its network TV premiere, we got in touch with Matt Lauria — aka Lions QB Luke Cafferty — to chat a bit about what fans can expect…

So, at the end of season 4, the East Dillon Lions nabbed a much-needed win, beating the Dillon Panthers — which was a pretty big deal. As season 5 opens, where do the Lions find themselves?
Matt Lauria: Well, we’re still the underdogs, but what you will begin to see is a real turning of the page in terms of camaraderie, the team dynamic and especially the community, too, coming together in this massive support of the Lions — you begin to see the bigger social and cultural impact that the team — and what Coach is doing — is accomplishing.
