Viewers quickly became addicted to the family drama (the Jennings […]

Kit Harington Talks to Michelle about Pompeii and Game of Thrones!
A few years ago I had a chance to talk with Kit Harington for Silent Hill, at the time I’ll admit I did not recognize him from Game of Thrones – he looks really different out of his John Snow garb! Last week I had a chance to redeem myself and participated in a fun […]
When Calls The Heart’s Lori Loughlin On Her New Series, Family TV, The Cable Model and Those Full House Reunions!
It seems like the explosion of cable has resulted in TV programming to get farther and farther from the traditional family programming that produced such great shows as Little House on the Prairie, Highway to Heaven or Happy Days. Even network TV is darker or more twisted (or both), these days. Now, Hallmark Channel has […]
Rake: Greg Kinnear Tackles The Justice System–Sort Of!
Rake’s (Fox Thursdays, 9/8C) Keegan Deane is charming, intelligent, and a lousy gambler but he tends to get too involved in situations that cannot go well for him: he owes his bookie; his office manager/secretary/general assistant is about quit over back pay, and his latest client has paid him in tuna (well, with a tuna). […]

Helix: Get The Lowdown On Syfy’s Newest Hit From Stars Billy Campbell and Jordan Hayes!
After its successful premiere, Helix (Syfy, Fridays, 10/9C) has made a good impression. A large part of that is due to its cast, including Billy Campbell (as Dr. Alan Farragut) and Jordan Hayes (Dr. Sarah Jordan). Earlier this week, Campbell and Hayes spoke with a group of journalists/bloggers about such topics as favorite set, the […]
Maeda & Zagorsky: Helix Is Something More/Other Than An Outbreak Show!
Last Monday, Steven Maeda, showrunner of Syfy’s Helix (Mondays, 10/9C), and Kyra Zagorsky, one of the two female leads, talked with a group of journalists/bloggers about the 13-episode series and how it might appear to be an ‘outbreak’ show on the surface but there’s much more to it than that. As Maeda puts it, at […]
Archer Speaks: H. Jon Benjamin Talks Season Five of the Best Animated Series on TV!
When Archer (FX, Mondays, 10/9C) returns for the fifth season premiere, the employees of ISIS will discover that they’ve been living a lie since, well, forever. In terms of environment, the series will be completely new – but the characters are still the characters we know and love (in spite of ourselves, or themselves… you […]
Have You Heard The One About The Gay, White Rapper Fresh Out of Prison? Chozen Series Creator and Star Speak!
FX’s Chozen (Mondays, 10:30/9:30C) is a bit of an odd duck. It’s the first animated series to be built, as our headline suggests, around an ex-con, gay, white rapper. The show could be looked at in a lot of different lights: a satire of rap culture from a unique perspective; a straightforward sitcom about a […]
