The theme of parents and children continued this week on Once Upon a Time as the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale gets the Storybrooke treatment. Hansel and Gretel are out helping their father, a woodcutter, when an excursion to collect kindling has them losing him. He gave Gretel his compass, so they could always find each other, but suddenly it no …

This week on Modern Family, we begin with Phil excitedly telling Claire and Haley about his seminar to recruit first-time home buyers. Haley is the least bit thrilled. Claire heads out of the kitchen and slips on broken eggs and falls flat on the floor. Already 2 minutes into this episode and I am laughing my head off. How do they …

Real life converged with fiction as Seamus Dever and his lovely wife, Juliana Dever had their on-screen wedding. This highly anticipated episode ushered in the return of the series after a month’s hiatus. The Team is investigating the death of a man who seems to be a lothario while given an odd combination of evidence. A Black Book, a bevy …

Once Upon a Time returned from the holiday hiatus with a solid episode focusing on how Rumplestiltskin came to be Rumplestiltskin. The theme of this week’s show was the lengths a parent will go for their child, and the results in both universes were surprising. In Storybrooke, it’s been two weeks since Graham’s death, and Mr. Gold informs Acting Sheriff …

We finally get to see a wedding on Castle this week when Detective Kevin Ryan ties the knot with his soulmate, Jenny. I had an opportunity to talk with Seamus Dever about his character’s walk down the aisle, how his real life is matching up with his fictional role, and what Castle and Beckett could learn from him. “Ryan is …

I must say Modern Family started out 2012 right by having Benjamin Bratt guest star as Manny’s father Javier. Happy New Year to us! In the beginning of this episode Gloria has a dream about a black mouse and sees it as a sign that bad news is coming. Javier shows up to see Manny, and Jay thinks he might be …

I’m always relieved when TV goes on hiatus for the holidays so I’m not torn between watching/reporting on the fictional worlds we love and actually living in the real world. But I’m also always relieved when the hiatus is over so I can chase away the post-holiday blahs with fresh forays into said fictional worlds. Once Upon a Time continues …

When Once Upon a Time returns on Sunday, the ABC hit drama will be shedding some like on Rumplestiltskin and his Storybrooke counterpart, Mr. Gold. We have two sneak peeks at the episode, “Desperate Souls”, to whet your appetite, but I have to warn you: the second one may alter your perception of the character forever.  I have a feeling …

ABC released the promo stills for Once Upon a Time episode 1.09, “True North”, which tackles the story of Hansel and Gretel. Emma Caulfield, who I know best as Anya from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, guest stars as the blind witch whose delicious shop the children break into, at the behest of the Evil Queen. Back in Storybrooke, Emma tries …

Yesterday we brought you information on “Desperate Souls,” the first episode of Once Upon a Time to air in 2012, and today we have photos! It looks like David and Mary Margaret have a “meet cute”, Emma is running for Sheriff against Sydney (let’s take a moment to remember Sheriff Graham…), someone torched Regina’s house, and Rumplestiltskin gets violent. Sounds …
