USA Network’s John Sanford’s Certain Prey [encoring Saturday, Nov. 12, 11/10C] marked the debut of Mark Harmon as Sanford’s Deputy Police Chief Lucas Davenport – a role that could become a regular thing for both the network and Harmon. Already much beloved for roles ranging from the blunt surgeon Dr. Jack McNeil and, especially, NCIS’ […]

Fringe: Stephen Root On Fringe, Fierce Fans, And Working With His Wife For The First Time!
When Stephen Root appears on this week’s episode of Fringe [Fox, Fridays, 9/8C], it will mark the first time he’s appeared onscreen in film or TV with his real life wife, Romy Rosemont. He spoke to a group of bloggers earlier this week and talked about that experience, as well as his love for science […]
Bones’ Executive Producers Explain Squintern’s Death; Tease Season Seven!
FOX’s long-running series Bones [returning Thursday, 9/8C] has taken the forensic procedural in a unique direction with its oil and water lead characters – the brilliant, cerebral, rational forensic anthropologist, Dr. Temperance Brennan and the intuitive, physical and determined FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. You would expect, then, that a Q&A session with the show’s […]
Scary Stuff, Kids! Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott Talk American Horror Story!
FX’s American Horror Story [Wednesdays, 10/9C] is the network’s most unexpected hit – a dark, twisted, haunted house tale with more creepiness than any television series since Twin Peaks – and more scares per square inch than anything since American Gothic. On Friday, I had the opportunity to take part in a teleconference Q&A session […]
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Kaitlin Olson Gets Under the Surface of Sweet Dee!
It’s not always easy to enjoy a series in which every character is reprehensible, but It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia [FX, Thursdays, 10/9C] frequently succeeds in making its audience do just that. One of the reasons it can do that is the presence of Kaitlin Olson as Deandra ‘Sweet Dee’ Reynolds. Earlier this week I […]
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Danny DeVito Gives The Lowdown on Frank – And More!
Danny DeVito is a legend. He’s played TV icons like Taxi’s Louis DePalma, been the most normal guy in swashbucklers like Romancing the Stone; executive produced Reno 911!, Karen Sisco [the second best Elmore Leonard-based TV series after Justified], and directed hit movies The War of the Roses and Matilda. He is, to put it […]
The Amanda Tapping/Robin Dunne Traveling Comedy Revue Talks Season Four of Sanctuary!
One of the more entertaining Q&A of each new season is the Amanda Tapping/Robin Dunne Q&A for Sanctuary [Syfy, Friday, 10/9C]. Both are smart funny and quite capable of taking a riff and going completely sideways with it. Sure, they can [and do] deliver the goods on what’s happening this season [musical episode!] in a […]
Jason O’Mara – When Terra Nova’s New Sheriff Speaks We Listen!
When Terra Nova premieres this evening [Fox, 8/7C], American audiences will witness Jason O’Mara’s third shot at a hit TV series – his previous shows, Men In Trees and Life On Mars, were not hits, though he received good reviews, personally. The affable Irishman comes across, onscreen, as someone we want to see every week […]
Fringe’s Executive Producers, Talk to Eclipse – Promise Adventurous Storytelling In Season Four
Fans of Fringe [premiering on Fox tonight at 10/9C] are among the fiercest around, hence Fox giving the show a fourth season – even if it’s on Friday nights and faces stiff competition from The CW’s supernatural and NBC’s Grimm. It will take a lot of imagination and vision to face down those odds – […]
Simon Cowell Talks to EclipseMagazine! F’ing Simon Cowell!! On How The X Factor Is Different – And The Songs He Never Wants to Hear Again!
Last week, Simon Cowell took a half an hour out of his hectic schedule to talk about his new singing competition series, The X-Factor [premiering on FOX, Wednesday, at 8/7C]. He was charming, funny and – in true Simon fashion – refreshingly blunt.
Wilfred’s Stars Talk Successful First Season!
Elijah Wood and Jason Gann have a cable hit on their hands with Wilfred [FX, Thursdays, 10/9C], the heartwarming series about a lonely, unsettled ex-lawyer and the dog he sees as a hulking Australian man in a cheap dog suit – or rather, the ribald, rude series about an underachieving ex-lawyer who is manipulated by […]
