Surprising no one, USA announced today that they’ve picked up rookie hit Covert Affairs for a second season. A ratings success for the network, Covert Affairs has been outpacing ABC and CBS this summer, and builds on its lead-in from White Collar (also a solid performer) every week as well. No date for season 2 was provided, but we expect …

The mysterious new drama from NBC – The Event – presented its pilot to a packed panel room at Comic Con last month. I had the great fortune of making it into the panel room along with some friends to see what all the talk has been about. Without revealing much of the plot (I just can’t do that to …

Heading into the 2009-2010 season, Cougar Town was one of those shows I figured would be worth checking out, but probably wouldn’t last beyond November sweeps. Courteney Cox is appealing, but the story of a woman dating younger men? How were they going to keep that fresh? The first few episodes struggled with that same dilemma, until around episode 4 …

During a recent conference call, Christopher Gorham took a few minutes to talk about what it is like to play the visually-challenged CIA agent Auggie Anderson on USA Network’s sizzling hot summer series Covert Affairs. In this week’s episode “Houses of the Holy,” Auggie is assigned to be the handler for the Special Ops unit he used to work with. …

This week’s Nice Boy coincides with a recent conference call interview that Nice Girl, Melissa (shoots dagger-like looks of jealousy toward her), was lucky enough to sit in on. Sendhil Ramamurthy is well known for his role as Mohinder Suresh on Heroes, but to our joy and pleasure, he is currently playing CIA Agent, Jai Wilcox, on the new USA …

CBS does like to keep promising stars on the network, whether or not their first (or second – we’re looking at you, O’Loughlin) series is a keeper. Ausiello just broke that Eric Winter (Moonlight, Brothers & Sisters, Days Of Our Lives) will join the cast of The Mentalist as a love interest for Van Pelt post-Rigsby. Winter’s character, Craig O’Laughlin, …

Sendhil Ramamurthy wasn’t the reason I first tuned into Heroes, but he was the reason I stuck with it until mid-season two before giving up hope. If ever I had to pin down my “type”, I think everyone who knows me would agree that tall, dark (both in coloring and broodiness), and accented is it. My glee at his addition …

“Asses will be kicked this season, and Cas will have a Russian accent,” claims Supernatural‘s Misha Collins. Anyone who follows Misha on Twitter knows that he may or may not be serious. We won’t know until the new season begins in September, but it was enough for me to know that Castiel will return. Talking with Misha at this year’s …

On the second day of Comic Con, one of the most talked about pilots of the new fall season was revealed to an audience for the very first time. Which pilot is that: The Cape. Okay, so maybe The Cape isn’t the most-talked about pilot of the fall season, but it certainly has a unique premise and a pretty terrific …

I was very surprised when the word came out that there was going to be a sixth season for Supernatural. I was glad, but surprised, and I couldn’t imagine where they could go after accomplishing what the boys needed to accomplish last season. That was the big question at this years Comic Con. I sat with other bloggers in the …
