Hollywood was in a spending mood this week as networks handed down renewal orders for a slew of shows. NBC Universal was the biggest spender, renewing USA shows Suits and In Plain Sight and Syfy properties Warehouse 13 and Eureka. TNT ordered up a fifth season of Leverage, and HBO shocked no one by renewing True Blood for a fifth …

Thank goodness we’re not investigating orphans or kittens or orphaned kittens this week on Rizzoli & Isles. Obviously death and murder are always sad, but those gut-wrenching episodes were doing a number on my, um, gut. This week’s case was kind of generic. The coach of a Boston baseball team is found dead in the locker room in what at …

Last month at Comic Con, cable’s top series launch of 2011 – TNT’s new series Falling Skies – converged on the annual fete, taking one of the ballrooms by storm with an appearance by cast members Noah Wyle (Tom Mason), Moon Bloodgood (Dr. Anne Glass), Will Patton (Captain Weaver), Drew Roy (Hal Mason), Colin Cunningham (John Pope) and Sarah Carter …

Falling Skies has its massive, two-hour season finale on Sunday, August 7 on TNT, and we are eager to see what goes down. Will Tom & Co. find out what the aliens are really up to? Is Ben turning into a Skitter? How many humans will survive the latest clash with the aliens? They’d probably stand a better shot if …

Is it just me or are the cases Rizzoli & Isles are handling this season packing more of an emotional wallop than your average cop show? Yeah, I’m back to recapping the adventures of Jane and Maura after a week off for Comic Con and another week off because my TV died. I’m home again and have a new TV, …

The girls are back in town! TNT’s hit Rizzoli & Isles returns for season two with an even stronger bond between the Jane and Maura following last season’s traumatic events. When we last saw Jane and little brother Frankie, they’d both been shot during a hostage situation at the police station. Obviously both survived, but as we learn in the …

TNT’s hit series Rizzoli & Isles won Best Drama at the Women’s Image Network Awards last year, with Sasha Alexander picking up the trophy for Best Actress in a Drama.

They remind …
