The February 8th episode of ‘Chuck‘ will be the last until after the Olympics, so here’s a bit a news that should keep all ‘Chuck‘ devotees panting for the return. Christopher Lloyd will be guesting on ‘Chuck‘ in the spring. He’s playing a psychiatrist/therapist/shrink who Chuck consults with when the rigors of morphing into a spy starts to get to Agent Bartowski.
This will hopefully be a case of the right actor in the right role and the writers rise to the occasion to create something memorable. There’s every reason to hope for big things because executive producer Josh Schwartz has admittedly being a geek when it comes to anything related to ‘Back to the Future.’ Having Doctor Emmett “Doc” Brown in the house should be an inspiration, don’t you think?
If you’re one of the fortunate few who make it big in the television biz, shouldn’t you take the opportunity to use that cushy cushion you have built for yourself and take a big risk on something exciting and new? Not if you’re one of these big television producers.
Big shots like Shawn Ryan, David E. Kelley, and Shonda Rhimes all have pilots in the can that don’t seem to stray much farther from the shows that made them the big shots that they are today.
For instance, Ryan, creator of the groundbreaking FX cop drama ‘The Shield,’ has another cop drama premiering with Fox called ‘Ridealong.’ Kelley, the writer/producer behind ‘ The Practice ‘ and ‘Boston Legal,’ has created a reality drama for NBC called ‘Kindred.’ Even Rhimes, the woman behind ABC’s ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’ has another medical drama show for ABC called ‘Off the Map.
Physically, yes. Theoretically, NEVER. Vogue’s André Leon Talley has agreed to replace J. Alexander on the judging panel of America’s Next Top Model after a long, eight-year decision process during which he watched zero episodes. This man has never seen America’s Next Top Model. I am struggling with this. Can any of you imagine such an empty existence?
Tyra hopes Talley will steer the show in a high-fashion direction that will impress viewers. “It might go over their head, but he’s educating them about a time, bringing them back to a place when fashion was life,” she told People. As usual, Tyra is being modest about her own ability to educate. I’ve learned tons of new wordées from her spontaneous French lessons during panel. Anyway, don’t worry, Miss J. will still appear on Top Model, but exclusively in a runway-training setting.
As the title says, the Goth Geek God himself, Neil Gaiman, has penned an episode of the British iconic program ‘Doctor Who’. Gaiman has already written for television (including an episode of ‘Babylon 5‘ and his British TV series ‘Neverwhere’) but this represents the first time he has written for a program that he actually watched as a child. If you listen carefully, you can hear all the nerd brains around the world exploding.
Gaiman himself announced this at a British sci-fi convention this past weekend and shocked everyone with this bombshell during an award acceptance speech. However, the folks behind our favorite Time Lord would not confirm Gaiman’s statement. Hopefully he didn’t jump the gun with this announcement. It would be a shame if he had to renege on it later.
Which was your favorite season of 24 thus far? My favorite was season 4 for a variety of reasons. That was, by far, the most intense season of them all with more breathtaking and cliffhanging moments than any other season. The most intense scenes ever were in that season, including the one where Paul Raines had to be killed in order for the man from the Chinese consulate to be interrogated. One of the best gun fights ever was in that season: the one where Jack and Paul were cornered in the gun store. And though CTU changed drastically between seasons 3 and 4 it was absolutely a blast seeing everyone from the old CTU come back together as Jack, Tony, and Michelle made it back together. It was also very emotional for me as m heart went out to Audrey at the end of the season. Seeing her expression at losing Jack was so heart-wrenching because, on top of everything that happened to her that day, she lost both men who ever meant anything to her in her life. So what are your thoughts?
Did we really need another thread like this? Really? I think a good comparison for The Simpsons is the Star Wars francise. A New Hope through Return of the Jedi are like the first 10 seasons of The Simpsons. Phantom Menace through Revenge of the Sith are like the past 10 seasons of The Simpsons. Everybody compares the two and says the newer ones are garbage compared to the original BUT…how much of that is merely nostalgia? If Star Wars Episodes 1 through 3 had come out in the 70s and 4 through 6 had come out now, people would be saying how 1 through 3 were so much better. It’s exactly the same thing with The Simpsons. People get so caught up in nostalgia that nothing ever compares to the original, even when it is just as good.
The introduction of the Justice Society lifted Smallville to new heights. Last night’s much-hyped two-hour episode, “Absolute Justice,” attracted roughly 2.8 million viewers, the show’s largest audience of the season. It also gave The CW its best Friday night in more than a year. From a demo perspective, the feature-length episode earned season-high numbers in all categories, including adults 18-49 (tie), men 18-49, and adults 18-34.
Now,we have three sneak peeks from the episode of Supernatural to share with you. Frankly, Cupid looks hilarious! You can also view promo photos that we previously posted for the episode.
By the way, in case you haven’t heard, this will be the final episode before a looooong hiatus for Supernatural. New episodes won’t be returning until March 25.
Cupid Makes An Appearance
Castiel (Misha Collins) helps Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) hunt down Cupid (guest star Lex Medlin) on Valentine’s Day after townspeople start to kill each other for love.
However, after Cupid tells them he’s innocent, they discover Famine (guest star James Otis), one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, has arrived in town.
“American Idol” finalist Chris Daughtry and his eponymous band took the stage for a pre-Super Bowl concert.
We think “Germans love David Hasselhoff” could be changed to “the NFL loves ‘American Idol.’”
Carrie Underwood is doing the National Anthem, Kris Allen did the Anthem for a championship game two weeks ago and Larry Platt made a surprise visit to the Minnesota Vikings’ locker room for the Nfc title game, plus over the years Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks and Kelly Clarkson have performed at several big games.
Chris Daughtry didn’t get invited to do the anthem, but we like him rocking out to his own music better anyway. What do you guys think? Did he do alright?
Gilles Marini isn’t doing too badly for himself lately. The ex-French soldier and model is returning to his role as Luc Laurent on “Brothers & Sisters” on Sunday, Feb. 21 when he’ll throw a wrench into Sarah Walker’s current relationship.
We first caught on to Marini in an unforgettable shower scene in “Sex and the City: The Movie.” We didn’t get to really know Marini, though, until he competed on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” He joined the competition, because he thought his daughter would get a kick out of seeing him dance on TV. He soon grew to love it, himself, but ultimately lost in the finale to Olympic gymnast, Shawn Johnson.
His luck has definitely gotten better.
