Check out the cast of FRINGE as they prepare for a Season 2 promotional photo shoot! There are some great shots and some fun video of the gang speaking in their native tongues – yes some of them are not American. You knew that though, right? Please say yes…
The Season 2 premiere is pretty amazing. Not only do we find out what happened after Olivia went to visit Spock, we also meet a new FBI agent who hopefully will become an ally to our Fringe team. Look for more intrigue and suspicion surrounding Nina Sharp and Agent Broyles. Look for the return of Olivia’s sister. Look for one hell of a car crash and look for some semi-nasty bone structure to come into play. Oh, and it wouldn’t be FRINGE without a crazy killer ending!
I was very happy with how the premiere plays out and I hope you’ll be just as excited as I am to have the Bishop boys and Agent Dunham back!
GLEE officially kicks off its first season tonight at 9pm on FOX!
Whatever you do, please do not miss the most refreshing comedy of the season – GLEE is cramazing and not to be missed!
*For more information on the premiere, check out the first 30 minutes of the latest TV Talk Podcast which features our thoughts on the upcoming episodes and has some interviews with the cast of Glee!
“Showmance” picks up where the pilot we all watched last May ended. New Directions, the McKinley High Glee Club, is still the little engine that could… dodging slushies, dumpsters and port-a-potties in every effort to be part of something special.
Rachel and Finn are growing closer (hence the title) and it’s far from pleasing his girlfriend (head Cheerio) Quinn Fabray. Sue Sylvester (the always genius Jane Lynch) continues to make it her sole mission to bring Mr. Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and his band of freaks to their knees.
Look for hookups, jealousy and obviously singing! “Showmance” officially sold me on Jayma Mays‘ comedy skills and it also endeared me to the Queen Bee, Quinn Fabray! Just wait and see…
Unless you live in a bubble, you’ve probably already downloaded some of the songs from tonight’s premiere. The club tackles “Gold Digger” by Kanye West, “Take a Bow” from Rihanna and “Push It” by Salt ‘N Pepa plus my favorite of the night starring my girl Dianna Argon (Quinn Fabray) which I refuse to spoil (and I’m shocked FOX hasn’t already). If I’m being completely honest here, I didn’t even know “Gold Digger” or “Take a Bow” – I was hoping that “Take a Bow” was going to be the Madonna ballad from the 90s. Hilarious! I’m so out of touch…
I’ve only watched “Showmance” twice since I’ve had the screener and that’s not because I didn’t love it – it’s because I can’t stop watching the episode that will air September 25th “Preggers”. That episode is beyond genius and I cannot wait for everyone to witness the brilliance that is Chris Colfer (Kurt)!
Catch the premiere of GLEE (“Showmance”) right after the premiere of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Season 6 only on FOX.
If you’re a hardcore GLEEK, don’t be caught dead at school tomorrow without your “I’m a Gleek” t-shirt!
The new Fall TV season is less than a week away and while I’ve been busy trying to watch all the new pilots I have to say that I’m not super excited about the new crop of shows. Bummer huh?
My podcasting partner in crime GMMR and I have been trying to schedule time to talk Fall TV and we hope to have all of the network podcasts up in the next week so hold tight. We’ve posted our thoughts on the new shows for The CW so please listen to that podcast to see what we love and/or hate.
In the meantime here are the shows I plan on watching this Fall. Shows in BLUE are what I plan on watching LIVE or DVR’d. Shows in PINK are ones that I will have to catch online or via iTunes.
MONDAY (click to enlarge) Monday’s have traditionally been a pretty busy night of TV viewing for me. However, this year it’s looking pretty open.
I’m annoyed that the power hour that started my night of television last year has been split up because BIG BANG THEORY and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER was a partnership made in heaven. I’ll be interested to see what happens to BBT at such a late hour (and I hope to remember its on that late) and if I feel like the vibe is the same without it’s partner.
Another year, another chance to officially drop HEROES. Last year I decided to watch then within 5 episodes I dropped that lame duck for the 2nd time in 3 seasons. Going into Season 4, I’ve vowed to not even give it a single frame of consideration. Will. Not. Watch!
After a brief vacation from the kids on the Upper East Side, a summer marathon has renewed my love for all things GOSSIP GIRL. That doesn’t mean I won’t get annoyed with the repetitive storylines and the lame quick-wrap secondary storylines – it just means I’m excited for the show to return and kick some ass! Let’s not fuck it up Savage & Schwartz.
If you’re interested in ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE starring Jenna Elfman, Ashley Jensen and Grant Show you should watch. It’s a very traditional sitcom and paired with TWO AND A HALF MEN, I think it’s going to be a huge hit. I just don’t see myself watching it week to week. The pilot is cute, Elfman is adorable and the premise is fun. Mark my words, this is one of the biggest new shows in 09.
TUESDAY (click to enlarge)
Believe it or not, I’m only watching two shows on Tuesday’s but hell if that isn’t four frakkin’ hours of television.
I’m a total sucker for the weight loss and emotional meltdowns of THE BIGGEST LOSER so there’s no chance I’m not watching Bob and Jillian bust some fatties once again. Love that damn show.
Obviously you know I’m a huge SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE junkie so that’s a no brainer – or is it? I’ve been very vocal about how I don’t love the idea of bringing SYTYCD to the Fall. I love having it as my summer obsession because I have less shows to watch in the summertime which means more time for a Paso Doble or two. Pushing it on us in the middle of the onslaught of new and returning shows seems cruel and I hate that it’s going to take up two hours of my Fall TV schedule. There… I’ve said it.
I’m not gonna lie – from time to time I will probably watch The CW’s reboot of MELROSE PLACE. I actually enjoyed the pilot episode. It’s 100% better than I expected it to be and surely my partner Jon will want to pop in and out of that salacious complex.
*If you’re wondering about BETTER OFF TED, don’t worry its coming back after DwtS ends (which isn’t soon enough)!
**ABC’s reboot of V starts November 3rd at 8pm (shitty time slot for a show that is not suited for 8pm) and I’m super excited. I loved the original as a kid and I really enjoyed the pilot for the remake. Plus, it’s got Elizabeth Mitchell, Alan Tudyk and Scott Wolf!
WEDNESDAY (click to enlarge)
Wednesday night is really the only night I’m giving new shows a chance at making it into my live/dvr rotation.
SYTYCD has it’s results show at 8pm and that’s followed by GLEE (which we all know I flippin’ heart). It’s a great one-two punch and I’m really looking forward to Wednesday’s – thanks FOX!
Over on ABC, my favorite new comedy, MODERN FAMILY gets paired up with the pretty good COUGAR TOWN. Trust me when I tell you to tune in to MODERN FAMILY. The pilot has laugh out loud funny jokes throughout and one of the best, THE BEST, things I’ve ever seen in the final few minutes. COUGAR TOWN is fun, a little dirty and honestly who doesn’t love having Courtney Cox, Busy Phillips and Josh Hopkins back on their screens?
EASTWICK is not as bad as you think it might be. The hour grew on me as it progressed and I’m willing to give it a couple weeks which is more than I can say for many of the new shows this Fall.
FOX just released their Fall 2009 premiere dates and fans of GLEE and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE should rejoice because their first on the list! I still cannot believe that BONES and FRINGE are on the super crowded Thursday night AND that FRINGE is up against my SUPERNATURAL boys. Bullshit!

Here are some of the deleted scenes from the pilot for FOX’s cramazing new comedy GLEE! Some of these are in the press screener sent out but some of these are some new gems I hadn’t seen before. Loves it!
Will Schuester Sings “Leaving on a Jet Plane”:
Will Schuester’s 1993 Glee Performance:
The 2009 Kids Try-on the 1993 Glee Outfits:
Puck Auditions for New Directions:
Sandy’s Glee Rehearsal (Pre-Groping Incident):
It’s still unclear if these scenes will make it into the Director’s Cut that is set to re-air in the Fall as GLEE relaunches and sets out for world domination but I imagine so!
The show I’ve been waiting for everyone I know to watch finally airs tonight… FOX’s newest musical comedy GLEE! Hands down one of the most uplifting, sassy, funny and touching series out there, Ryan Murphy proves that the misfits can have their moment to shine!
Unless you were bunkered up with Osama, you’ve seen the ads, you’ve watched the video on youtube and you’ve heard every TV Blogger beg you to watch so tonight you better tune in and soak up the glittery genius that is GLEE!
Matthew Morrison, Cory Monteith and Lea Michele are going to be huge, mark my words. Am I biased because I saw Michele on Broadway a number of times in the cramazing SPRING AWAKENING – sure that’s possible… I admit it! The newest band of nerds to root for aren’t living in BuyMoria they’re making their way through the halls of McKinley High, recognize! Artie, Kurt, Mercedes and Tina rock and I hate to admit it but even the bastard people Quinn and Puck are ones to die for.
With supporting talent like Gessalyn Gilsig, Jane Lynch and Jayma Mays plus Guest Stars like Kristin Chenoweth and Victor Garber, I don’t see how this won’t be the best new show of the Fall. Wait, the fall? It premieres tonight! Well that’s true but tonight we’re only getting a sneak peek at the show because the rest of the episodes won’t actually air until Fall 2009.
Not to be confused with CBS’ hottest new drama, FOX’s MENTAL looks to take the crown of sassiest new show of the season. Premiering May 26th and airing as a summer series, the show will
MENTAL Preview:
MENTAL Synopsis:
When DR. JACK GALLAGHER (Chris Vance, “Prison Break”), a dynamic and radically unorthodox psychiatrist, is named Director of Mental Health Services at a Los Angeles hospital, his unconventional style leads some of his new colleagues to believe he may be as unstable as his patients.
MENTAL is a medical drama that explores the complexities of the human mind as never before. To Jack, each case is a puzzle to be solved. Confronted with each patient’s crisis, including unknown, misunderstood, and even misdiagnosed conditions, Jack must plunge inside the mind of his patients long enough to uncover what might be the key to their long-term recovery, often times working against the clock and his patients’ wishes. Ever the rebel, Jack insists on getting to the root of his patients’ illnesses by exploring first who they are as human beings, but as he fights to help his patients quickly, he must often work within only a legal 72-hour hold to determine a diagnosis.
Jack must reconcile his effective, yet highly unconventional practices with his conservative boss, hospital administrator NORA SKOFF (Annabella Sciorra, “The Sopranos”), who puts her own reputation on the line by hiring him. Unfortunately, his colleagues remain resistant to his treatment methods, including dedicated psychiatrist DR. VERONICA HAYDEN-JONES (Jacqueline McKenzie, “The 4400”), who was passed over for Jack’s position, and DR. CARL BELLE (Derek Webster, “CSI: Miami”), a master politician with a polished exterior who is dedicated to Jack’s downfall.
As seen through the eyes of doctors and patients who, as Jack points out, have more in common than they’re willing to admit, the series also features a team of doctors and hospital staff who work closely together to delve into the mysteries, oddities and wonders of the human brain, including first-year resident DR. ARTURO SUAREZ (Nicholas Gonzalez, “Brothers and Sisters”), young and cocky, but good at his job, he actually gets a charge out of Jack’s techniques; DR. CHLOE ARTIS (Marisa Ramirez, “The Young and the Restless”), drop-dead gorgeous with an attitude and very strong opinions, she’s passing time in a residency she feels is beneath her until Jack opens her mind to the inspirational benefits of psychiatry; and MALCOLM DARIUS WASHINGTON (Edwin Hodge, “Invasion”), a nurse who pulled himself out of the impoverished neighborhood he grew up in to pursue his medical career.
Produced by Fox Television Studios and Fox International Channels, MENTAL is executive-produced by Deborah Joy LeVine (“Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” “The Division”) and her brother and writing/producing partner, Dan Levine.
The award for the FOX show with the most generic looking cast goes to PAST LIFE! While at first glance this might seem like some procedural/MENTALIST rip-off take a look at the creative team behind the show. FNL vet David Hudgins created the show and it also stars THE WEST WING’s Richard Shiff. Can’t be that bad, right?
PAST LIFE premieres winter 2010 on Tuesday’s at 9pm.
PAST LIFE Preview:
PAST LIFE Synopsis:
Have you ever experienced déjà vu or met someone you thought seemed familiar? Do you believe in karma, fate or love at first sight?
From writer David Hudgins (“Friday Night Lights”), and inspired by the book “The Reincarnationist” by M.J. Rose, comes PAST LIFE, a new drama series about an unlikely pair of past-life detectives who investigate whether what is happening to you today is the result of who you were before.
DR. KATE MCGINN (Kelli Giddish, “All My Children”) is not your typical psychologist. Confident, outspoken and highly educated, she works at The Talmadge Center for Behavioral Health in New York City, a world-renowned institute dedicated to the study of the science of the soul. After experiencing a past-life regression in her 20s, Kate became a believer in reincarnation. Using regression therapy and her natural gift for reading people, Kate helps solve the mysteries of her troubled clients who suffer from present-day problems caused by past-life traumas. She believes there are levels of consciousness and explanations for human behavior that science can’t begin to explain. Accustomed to skeptics, but not bothered by them, Kate is an unapologetic believer and a force of nature who marches to the beat of her own drummer.
Her partner, PRICE WHATLEY (Nicholas Bishop, “Home and Away”), is a different story. A former NYPD homicide detective, pragmatic and cynical, Price is a damaged soul who constantly battles grief and guilt over the accidental death of his wife. Price feels that Kate, though not certifiable, certainly operates on the fringes of science. It’s a volatile relationship, but with Price’s solid detective skills, and Kate’s penchant for out-of-the-box thinking, together they make a formidable, if somewhat dysfunctional, team.
A fast-paced emotional thrill ride, each episode finds Price and Kate working with their colleagues to unravel a new mystery involving the past-lives of their clients. DR. MALACHI TALMADGE (Richard Schiff, “The West Wing”) is Kate’s mentor and the center’s namesake, an avuncular but gruff elder statesman who is a legend in the field of cognitive research. DR. RISHI KARNA (Ravi Patel, “Scrubs”) is the rookie of the group, a baby-faced therapist from Calcutta who loves bad American TV, Cuban jazz and driving everyone crazy.
Produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Warner Bros. Television, PAST LIFE is executive-produced by David Hudgins and Lou Pitt. Hudgins also serves as writer. Deran Sarafian (HOUSE, “Lost”) directed the pilot.
Another new FOX comedy is the Tyler Labine fronted SONS OF TUSCON. For fans of REAPER, this means bad things for The CW’s devilish comedy but look at it this way, the dude from INVASION is still working.
SONS OF TUSCON premieres Winter 2010 and airs at 8:30pm on Sundays (after CLEVELAND’s initial run).
SONS OF TUSCON Preview:
SONS OF TUSCON Synopsis:
In the tradition of “Malcolm in the Middle” and “The Bernie Mac Show,” SONS OF TUCSON is a family comedy about three brothers who hire a charming, wayward schemer to stand in as their father when their real one goes to prison.
What begins as a business relationship evolves into something more complex and compelling: a family unlike any we’ve ever seen.
The three brothers find their dad-for-hire, RON SNUFFKIN (Tyler Labine, “Reaper”), at the local sporting good store. Ron will be forced to draw on a wide array of skills and a vast bag of tricks as he steps into the patriarch role to take care of the boys of the Gunderson family. ROBBY GUNDERSON (Davis Cleveland, “How I Met Your Mother”), 8, is a loose cannon who doesn’t take garbage from anyone; GARY GUNDERSON (Frank Dolce, “Doubt”), 11, is a bright and street-savvy leader who is every bit the con man his father is; and BRANDON GUNDERSON (Troy Gentile, “Entourage”), 13, is a gentle free spirit who goes along for the ride. MAGGIE MORALES (Natalie Martinez, “Saints & Sinners”), Robby’s second-grade teacher and the object of Ron’s affection, might just be the only stable figure in the lives of this quirky quartet.
While SONS OF TUCSON is grounded in the day-to-day challenges of a single-parent home, nothing in the Gunderson household is quite what it seems. An ongoing chess match between Ron and the boys will keep both parties on their toes, as neither side can afford to give up too much power or independence.
SONS OF TUCSON is directed by three-time Emmy Award-winner Todd Holland (“Malcolm in the Middle,” “The Larry Sanders Show”) and produced by 20th Century Fox Television. Justin Berfield, Jason Felts, Harvey Myman and Todd Holland serve as executive producers. Tommy Dewey and Greg Bratman wrote the pilot.
The only show FOX has already picked up for 2 seasons is the FAMILY GUY spin-off THE CLEVELAND SHOW. Is this THE JEFFERSONS to Guy’s ALL IN THE FAMILY? I’m kinda psyched to see Cleveland and his wife get their own show… they’re hilarious!
THE CLEVELAND SHOW premieres Fall 2009 and will air Sunday’s at 8:30pm after THE SIMPSONS and before FAMILY GUY.
THE CLEVELAND SHOW Preview:
THE CLEVELAND SHOW Synopsis:
THE CLEVELAND SHOW is a new animated series that follows everyone’s favorite soft-spoken neighbor, CLEVELAND BROWN (Mike Henry), to his hometown in Virginia as he settles down with his high school sweetheart, her unruly kids and his own 14-year-old son, CLEVELAND JR. (Kevin Michael Richardson).
Many years ago, Cleveland was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named DONNA (Sanaa Lathan). Much to his dismay, his love went unrequited, and Donna wound up marrying another man. Cleveland once told Donna he would always love her, and if this man ever done her wrong, he’d be there when she called. Well, this man done her wrong.
Donna’s husband ran off, leaving Donna with a teenage daughter and a young son. Now she’s open to Cleveland and has offered him another chance at love. Unattached after the Loretta-Quagmire debacle and true to his word, Cleveland joyously reunites with Donna, and he and Cleveland Jr. move to Virginia to join their new family.
Once in Virginia, there are a few surprises in store for Cleveland, including ROBERTA (Reagan Gomez-Preston), a rebellious new stepdaughter; RALLO (Henry), his new 5-year-old stepson who loves the ladies; and a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck, LESTER (Richardson); a hipster wanna-be, HOLT (guest voice Jason Sudeikis); and a religious pair of talking bears, TIM (Seth MacFarlane) and his wife ARIANNA (guest voice Arianna Huffington).
THE CLEVELAND SHOW is a 20th Century Fox Television production. Seth MacFarlane, Rich Appel and Mike Henry are executive producers and co-creators of the series.
FOX’s new half hour family comedy BROTHERS starring Michael Strahan and Daryl “Chill” Mitchell.
BROTHERS premeires Fall 2009 and will air Friday’s at 8pm before TIL DEATH.
BROTHERS Preview:
BROTHERS Synopsis:
BROTHERS Starring Michael Strahan (“FOX NFL Sunday”) and Daryl “Chill” Mitchell (“Ed,” “Veronica’s Closet”), BROTHERS is a new half-hour comedy about a former NFL hot shot who learns that even though you can always go home again, the trip back might be tougher than you think.
MIKE TRAINOR (Strahan) seemingly has it all – he’s a good-looking, wealthy and recently retired NFL player living the high-life in New York City, but he’s about to get sidelined. When Mike gets a phone call from his MOM (CCH Pounder, “The Shield”) who orders him home to Houston, he quickly realizes the more his life has changed, the more his family has stayed the same.
His brother CHILL (Daryl “Chill” Mitchell), whose life was altered drastically after a car accident left him in a wheelchair, is struggling to keep his restaurant afloat with the help of his loudmouth associate, ROSCOE (Colton Dunn, “MADtv”). The dynamics between Mike and Chill are the same as when they were kids, and their sibling rivalry hasn’t lessened with age. If they can stop their bickering, put aside their differences and learn to be teammates, the brothers might just turn out to be each other’s biggest asset.
Wedged between Mike and Chill are their parents. Their father, whom everyone refers to as COACH (Carl Weathers, “Rocky”), is the local high school football coach and the conservative, opinionated alpha male of his clan. Coach thinks he runs the show, but really it’s Mom who calls the shots. Saucy, stern and a schemer, she is the mastermind of the family. And when she learns that Mike’s business manager took off with all his money, she orchestrates a plan to keep Mike in Houston, save Chill’s restaurant and bring the family back together under one roof again – all without anyone realizing what she’s up to.
Mom’s plan helps Mike realize that his family – however dysfunctional they may be – is the only family he’s got. And although he may not have a penny to his name, as long as he’s surrounded by people who love him, he’ll always be a rich man.
BROTHERS is created by Don Reo and produced by Tantamount Studios and Impact Zone Productions, Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television. Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, Mitch Hurwitz and Don Reo serve as executive producers. Ted Wass directed the pilot written by Don Reo.
Yesterday, FOX announced their Fall 2009/Midseason 2010 lineup and while I’m super excited to see more SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and FRINGE I don’t like their strategy. SYTYCD is my show, you know I love it more than anything but really do I need it in the Fall? I know their looking for their Fall IDOL but I’m not gonna have time to watch these dancers twice a week once all of my regularly scheduled primetime shows are in full swing. That’s annoying. So is moving FRINGE to Thursday’s against SUPERNATURAL (Grey’s, CSI, The Office and 3 Rock)… seriously? Not pleased.

Here is a sneak peek at FOX’s 2009/2010 new show HUMAN TARGET starring Mark Valley, Chi McBride and Jackie Earle Haley. Looks like the pilot also features BATTLESTAR’s Tricia Helfer! Hey now…
HUMAN TARGET premieres January 2010 and will air Wednesday’s at 9pm on FOX
HUMAN TARGET Preview:
HUMAN TARGET Synopsis:
It takes a brave, selfless man to make himself a “human target” in order to save the lives of those in danger.
Based on the popular DC Comics comic book and graphic novel, HUMAN TARGET is a full-throttle action drama centered on CHRISTOPHER CHANCE (Mark Valley, FRINGE), a unique private contractor/security guard hired to protect.
Call him what you like, because for Chance, it’s about one thing only: saving his clients’ lives. When there is an unusual or imminent threat that can’t be solved through “normal” means of protection, Chance is hired to completely integrate himself into his clients’ lives – to become the human target. If you’re a corporate manager whose disgruntled employee has gone violently off the deep end, Chance is your new auditor. If you’re the president of a bank who’s been tipped off to a potential heist, Chance is your unassuming bank teller.
During each job, Chance, assisted by his business partner WINSTON (Chi McBride, “Pushing Daisies”) and hired gun GUERRERO (Jackie Earle Haley, “Watchmen”), puts himself directly in the line of fire as he races against time to save his client, while unraveling the truth behind the mission. With every new danger, Chance’s dark history will also unravel. Does anyone know who Christopher Chance really is, or what secrets lay buried in his past? What would make a man willingly become a HUMAN TARGET?
HUMAN TARGET is a production of Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Television. Jon Steinberg (“Jericho”), McG (“Terminator Salvation”), Simon West (“Con Air,” “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”) and Brad Kern (“Charmed”) serve as executive producers. Peter Johnson (“Chuck”) is a co-executive producer. West directed the pilot.
