Bones star David Boreanaz hosted a conference call for reporters earlier this week to talk about the return of new episodes, directing the 100th episode (airing April 8th), and clearing up some comments about the Booth/Brennan relationship. He sounded exhausted and had to keep clearing his throat, evidence of the long hours the cast and creative team are putting in …

USA Network’s In Plain Sight returns tonight and even though it’s on a new night, you can still expect to see the characters you have come to love over two seasons. At the end of last season, we left U. S. Marshal Mary Shannon (Mary McMormack) in the hospital after being shot by a gang leader. Although Mary recovers, she …

Buried in last week’s Ask Ausiello was a rather startling piece of news: ABC is considering changing the name of the Courteney Cox comedy Cougar Town. While I agree that the name does not reflect the series, I’m surprised that the network is seriously considering a change. Cougar Town started out as a show focused on Cox’s Jules, “a recently …

The Mentalist is one of those shows that allows for a weekly round of new guest stars, and once again the show is keeping it in the family. Lucy Davis, wife of Owain Yeoman (Wayne Rigsby), is set to guest on the May 6th episode of the CBS hit procedural. She’ll play Daphne, the widow of a victim of an …

On a rainy Saturday night, the 2010 Paley Festival saluted the CW’s freshman hit, The Vampire Dairies, to a very enthusiastic crowd of fans. In attendance for the panel were executive producers Bob Levy, Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, as well as cast members Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley. The room was treated to the first episode back …

In celebration of the ABC television series Castle, the Paley Center hosted an evening recognizing the cast, writers and producers with a special screening and Q&A panel on March 16th at its Beverly Hills location. Attending the panel were cast members Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Molly Quinn, Susan Sullivan, Ruben Santiago-Hudson, Tamala Jones, Jon Huertas and Seamus Dever, as well …

For NBC’s Freshmen comedy, Community, the evening at the Paley Festival mimicked what must go on after a take. Cast members in attendance included: Donald Glover, Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Ken Jeong and Chevy Chase. As the elder statesmen of the cast, Chase’s humor dominated much of the panel (early on he fell backward off his chair, before going on …

For fans of the television show FlashForward, it comes as no surprise to hear the show described as ambitious and addictive. From the very start, the show landed on the television landscape with a “shock and awe” campaign with the premise of a worldwide blackout during which each person saw a vision of their future. It is a show that …

Sarah Shahi was one of the reasons I enjoyed Life (the other being Damien Lewis’s fruit-obsessed detective), so I was happy to see her guest in a recent episode of Psych as Gus’s thrill-seeking secret girlfriend. Looks like USA was paying attention, too: the network has greenlit a new series called Facing Kate with Sarah Shahi as the lead. Co-starring …

In the press kit for their new game show, Minute To Win It, NBC wisely included relevant items from the show: Oreos, M&Ms, golf balls, playing cards, etc. All of these items are part of the various challenges the contestants undertake in hopes of winning that elusive million dollar prize. But after the Oreos have been eaten and the golf …
