Filed under: Features, TV News, Fall TV If the questions from the assembled television critics in the 'Mike & Molly' TCA panel are any indication, the press at large seem to view CBS's new comedy, which follows two overweight singles who meet at Overweight Anonymous and begin dating, as a prolonged fat joke masquerading as a rom-com. Thankfully, creator Mark Roberts and executive producer Chuck Lorre were here to dispel that notion. "This isn't a show about weight," Lorre insisted. It's about real people with real issues trying to have a relationship -- [I know] TV would have cast Chris O'... more

Injury List: Tami gets dragged into the culture wars when Luke's mother accuses her, practically, of personally giving Becky an abortion; Matt tries to reconnect with Julie but finds that it's probably too late; Tim gets thrown out of his Trailer of Love; and Luke's injury finally comes to light.... more

Filed under: Features, Fall TV Move over, screechy ladies of 'The View' -- there's a new talk show in daytime. CBS used their TCA presentation to unveil the imaginatively titled 'The Talk,' a show dedicated to discussing "news, pop culture, mom culture and our culture," according to the preview presentation. CBS mega-host Julie Chen and executive producer/actress Sara Gilbert will be joined by Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Marissa Jaret Winokur on the show, which they insist will not just be a 'View' clone, comparing the similarity ... more

Filed under: TV ReplayWe were not actually aware that people could hoard pets. Newspapers, yes. Trash and collectibles and even random canned goods -- these are all odd things that people collect, then hoard, and then refuse to throw out. But pets? Go figure. On the series 'Confessions: Animal Hoarding' (Wed., 9PM ET on Animal Planet), we get to hang out with people who gather cute little furry animals. But these people gather them to such an extent that it begins to negatively influence their lives. One such person is Janice, who currently owns 97 dogs and 15 cats. Ummm ... that's a lot o... more

Filed under: Celebrity Interviews, Summer TV If it weren't for SA, we wouldn't have Snooki, The Situation and Pauly D. And who is SA? SA is also known as SallyAnn Salsano. But the creator and executive producer of 'Jersey Shore' calls herself SA for short. In fact, she left a message on my cell phone referring to herself as SA in regards to this interview, and I almost didn't call her back until I put two and two together and realized SA was Salsano's nickname. Anyway, Salsano, er SA, who has also produced reality shows ranging from 'A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila' to 'Tool Academ... more

Filed under: Recaps, Summer TV(S07E18) 'So You Think You Can Dance' finally used the 'American Idol' double elimination concept, which helped the injured Billy Bell this week. Billy was showing the best of what he can do through the three dances he had to do. Whether or not he strategically decided not to dance because his two dances last week were a bit hard, he managed to get two routines this week that were both great. As we welcome our top six, most noticeably, Billy is sporting a knee brace. We welcome Toni Redpath as the guest judge; we saw her last during Vegas week, screaming at the... more

Filed under: TV News, Fall TV You've got to hand it to William Shatner; despite being 79 and being on TV for well over fifty years, he's still gets a thrill out of doing new things and learning his craft. How many actors who were around during the live TV era would be doing a sitcom in 2010 that's based on a Twitter feed? Only Shatner. Which is why he seemed to be more in a philosophical mood when he hit the TCA stage to sit on the last CBS panel of the day, for '$#*! My Dad Says.' First things first: While Shatner has had a "glowing and growing" experience with Twitter, he doesn't actu... more

Filed under: Features, TV News, Fall TV At the TCA panel for 'Hawaii Five-O' this morning, producers Alex Kurtzman and Peter Lenkov swore up, down and sideways that they're both huge fans of the original show from the '60s and '70s. But they also kept calling the show a "reboot" or "reimagining," trying to stay as far way as possible from the work "remake." According to Kurtzman, "I think, for me, the word "remake" suggests that we're doing exactly the same thing, just doing it again. And I think in our experience in 'Star Trek,' we felt like you have to find the spirit of what that origi... more

Filed under: Recaps, Summer TV(S12E09) It's becoming evident that they never did come up with a Plan B for when the saboteur got evicted from the 'Big Brother' house. All around the Internet, fans are coming down on the casting for this season. While some might enjoy the Brenchal sordid showmance, this is unquestionably the most boring cast in the history of the show. There. I said it. Nonetheless, I keep watching. If nothing else, perhaps I can revel in the stupidity of hamsters. If their actions, decisions and words can be mocked, all is not lost. And, if we get some excitement in the wee... more

Filed under: TV News, Fall TV Just when you thought that there wasn't room for another legal drama on prime-time, along comes 'The Defenders,' a new hour-long procedural set in Las Vegas. Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell are defense attorneys based on a couple of real-life Vegas lawyers, who were joined on the panel by co-stars Jurnee Smollett and Tanya Fisher, exec-producers Harry Gantz, Joe Gantz, Carol Mendelsohn, Kevin Kennedy and Niels Muller, and showrunner Greg Walker. Since the show hasn't started shooting yet, there wasn't much in the way of dirt from filming, but Jim Belushi kept... more

Auditions #1: Unheralded amateur chefs are brought together to compete for the coveted and apparently recently created title of Master Chef. But first, they must earn a spot in the competition by creating a dish to please Gordon Ramsay and his fellow judges. And that means tension and tears. Lots of tears. A veritable prix fixe menu of tears. Bon appetit.... more

Filed under: FeaturesLast week on vacation, I read the book 'Soccernomics' by Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski. It's a kind of 'Freakonomics' for soccer, but they mention the NFL enough that none of the bullies at the beach beat me up too badly for reading it. One of the many points that the authors make is that sports teams that actually try to turn a profit inevitably begin to death-spiral. The best teams are those that operate like a non-profit charitable trust, where every penny is put back into improving the team. This is why teams are owned by crazy rich people (George Steinbrenner) t... more

Filed under: Recaps, Summer TV(S05E18) "Howie wowie." - Nick to Howie Howie's got a new nickname. Piers would probably prefer giving Howie another nickname -- maybe bad judgy Howie -- but that's for another bickering match between the two judges. Good thing Sharon is separating them, no? The "wow factor" has been mentioned numerous time so far this season, mostly because Top 48 acts failed to show they had it. The wow factor is one of the most important criterion the judges are looking for when watching performances. Did last night's performances wow America enough to get a spot in t... more

Filed under: Recaps, TV News(S06E05) All season long, we've been waiting for Tommy to hit rock bottom with his drinking so we can finally start to see him begin a redemptive journey toward sobriety, and perhaps get his life back together. I say that with the anticipation that we're actually going to have a "happy" ending for 'Rescue Me.' Given the tone of the show throughout the years, it just wouldn't feel right to end on a tragic note. I'm not sure if the events of this week constitute Tommy's personal all-time low, but they are certainly in the running. When your family gets pulled into ... more

Filed under: TV NewsLogo, no stranger to Canadian programs, has picked up another with '1 Girl 5 Gays,' a talk show that features -- you guessed it -- one girl and a panel of gay men. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Aliya-Jasmine Sovani and her panel will discuss sex and relationships starting in October. '1 Girl 5 Gays' has been on MTV Canada since October 2009. Logo currently has Canadian shows 'The After Show' and 'Peak Season.' In other TV news ... Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments ... more

Filed under: TV News, Fall TV It's interesting how things change quickly at the press tour. Not that long ago, the cast of 'The Big Bang Theory' came to the tour eager to convince the critics that their show was worth watching. Now, three years later and with ratings that put them on par with 'Two and a Half Men' as the most popular comedy on TV, the group that sat before the critics this morning displayed a new degree of confidence. Not cockiness, mind you; this is a group that knows it has a good thing going. Co-creator Chuck Lorre, despite the fact that the show has had four differen... more

Filed under: TV ReplayKelly Brook is famous in England, but most people have never heard of her here "across the pond" in America. She's been a model since age sixteen -- specializing in bathing suits and lingerie -- and has ranked as high as 5th on the 'FHM Magazine' list of sexiest women in the world. Here's a fairly, um, racy photograph of her, in case you're interested. Brook is in America to shoot her new film 'Piranha 3-D.' (Which more sounds like a bad movie that would be released in 1977, not 2010, but whatever). On 'The Kilborn File' (weeknights, 7PM ET on Fox), Kelly discussed her... more

Filed under: TV News, Fall TVThis fall, a new set of masochists will descend upon the jungle to compete on the 21st season of CBS's 'Survivor.' This year, however, it won't just be a match of wits that will weed them out. CBS announced Wednesday that the show will divide the contestants by age, creating one tribe of competitors over age 40, and another tribe of those under age 30 for a face-off called 'Young vs. Old.' "The Espada Tribe, made up of individuals over the age of 40, must prove they have the life experience and knowledge that will ultimately help them outwit and outlast their yo... more

Filed under: TV News, Fall TVNina Tassler kicked off CBS's day at the summer press tour saluting the season that just passed, and not just the shows on her own network. She praised the strongest set of new series in years, singling out praise for 'Modern Family' and 'Glee' in particular. But the rest of the press conference was fairly tame by exec session standards; Tassler didn't really give out a ton of new info. She did get a flurry of questions about the reboot of 'Hawaii Five-O,' said she was "disappointed" in how few gay and lesbian roles were on last year's schedule, and defended Jul... more

Filed under: Celebrity InterviewsSince SomethingPitchy host Andy Scott got called out yesterday for his red cheeks during his Tim Urban interview, it's fitting that SP correspondent Gaby Dunn's flustered face is exposed today. The 'American Idol' experts went backstage with the season 9 Idols at the Newark 'Idols Live' tour last week and filmed interviews with the Top 10. First up today, Gaby was charmed by the country etiquette of 17-year-old Aaron Kelly. The two talked dental hygiene and tried to write a country song together.

Filed under: Recaps, Summer TV(S07E07) Pea puree. Say that five times fast. Sounds pretty funny after awhile, don't you think? The pea puree was a really big deal on tonight's episode of 'Top Chef.' In fact, this might be the first sign that there's something interesting about this group of cheftestants. Up till now, they've been a rather bland bunch. Before the pea puree became an issue, we had Kenny believing that the others were out to eliminate him because he was such a beast in the kitchen. The other hot topic was Tiffany's suspicion that Angelo had been sabotaging others -- like T... more

Filed under: TV NewsDon't believe the spin: Longtime 'The Price Is Right' host Bob Barker said comments he made to a TMZ.com paparazzo on Monday were not meant to disparage the performance of current 'TPIR' host Drew Carey.
