Yesterday I had the opportunity to take part in a conference call Q&A with Jane Lynch. The subject was her upcoming gig as host of the 63th Primetime EMMY Awards [Fox, Sunday, September 18, 2011, 8/7C] – though some participants squeezed in a few Glee questions.

Fox Brings Back Breaking In!
After racking up decent reviews and ratings in its first somewhat truncated season, Breaking In was canceled. Now, the folks at Fox are rethinking that decision: Breaking In has been picked up – with an order for thirteen episodes – as a mid-season replacement. Well done, Fox!

The 2011 Emmys: Major Nominations!
The nominations for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards were released this morning and, after culling the major categories from the seventy-pages of nominations [can you imagine how long a TV special would be if it addressed every category?

American Idol Recap
Haven’t talked much about this year’s Idol. The talent is probably the best they have had in years, but I still hate the theme weeks. I don’t get the whole Casey Abrams or Paul McDonald thing. My pick for this year is the howdy doody, Tom Hank’s love child Scotty. Here’s a recap from this […]

Glee Finale Makes Michelle Cry like a Baby!
I went to New York last week for a White Collar set visit so I missed out on reviewing Glee’s amazing finale last week. I’ll admit it, I cried like a baby during most of the episode. I felt like Sue (Jane Lynch) was ridiculing me when she made a crack about Will’s penchant for […]
