BBC America is going from sci-fi to spooky when Bedlam premieres Saturday, October 1. Following the season finale of Doctor Who, viewers will get a dose of goosebump-worthy thrills and chills with the series premiere of Bedlam. In this modern take on a haunted house story, business-minded Kate (Charlotte Salt) lives in Bedlam Heights with roommates Ryan (Will Young) and …

Happy Endings returns for its sophomore season tonight, after a surprise renewal from ABC. The series debuted last spring in what many saw as a move to fill a troubled slot on the network’s schedule. The quirky comedy about six friends quickly proved to be more than filler material, however. Clever, often laugh-out-loud funny, and boasting a cast with amazing …

The CW rolls out the last of their new Fall series tonight when Hart of Dixie premieres, and it also happens to be my favorite of their new offerings. I didn’t expect that. In fact, when I heard the premise for the series, it didn’t sound like something that would be on my To Watch list. Imagine my surprise when …

ABC debuts their stylish drama Pan Am tonight, and it’s both a breath of fresh air and comfortingly familiar. Set in 1962, a period in American history that many view as the final days before the world went pear-shaped, Pan Am follows the lives and loves of men and women working for the airline. Most of the headlines about the …

Nostalgia is a tricky thing. We remember moments from our past through the lens of time and often it’s as flattering as the soft-focus lens and intricate lighting Barbara Walters uses on her specials. Warm and fuzzy, nostalgia conveniently forgets the bad and emphasizes the good. I imagine the pitch meeting for the Charlie’s Angels reboot went something like this: …

ABC’s new show Revenge stars Emily Van Camp, leading her own show after the demise of Brothers and Sisters. VanCamp plays the newest girl in Southamptons, Amanda Clark. However, Amanda isn’t the previous “girl next door” character we meet early in the episode; she’s actually returning to the scene of a childhood trauma—her father was set-up and arrested back when she was …

Sarah Michelle Gellar makes her (potentially) triumphant return to the small screen tonight with the premiere of her new drama Ringer on the CW. Starring as estranged twins Bridget and Siobahn, SMG is also an executive producer of the series. This Nice Girl had a chance to watch the first episode in advance, and I can tell you without a …

Castle ended on a shocking note last season with Beckett gunned down by a sniper at Captain Montgomery’s funeral, and Castle admitting his feelings for Beckett, leaving fans to debate the fallout all summer. I’ve just watched the season 4 premiere, “Rise”, and am happy to report that it succeeds at the tricky task of giving plenty of weight to …

Syfy’s newest original series, Alphas, welcomes fan favorite Summer Glau when she guest stars in tonight’s episode. The series follows five people with the unique power to stretch the capabilities of the human mind giving them superhuman physical and mental abilities. Operating within the Defense Criminal Investigation Service of the U.S. Department of Defense, the team investigates cases that point to others …

At the end of any series, there’s a moment of sadness mixed with hope as you watch the characters’ final stories, knowing that there’s not much else left for them. But as that moment passes, you also know that you’ll still be left with memories. Having already watched the fifth and final season of Friday Night Lights as it aired …
