Congratulations to My TV favourites Carlo Rota (Othello), Christopher Plummer (Caesar & Cleopatra) Reagan Pasternak (Being Erica), Erin Karpluk (Being Erica), Leah Miller (So You Think You Can Dance Canada), Rick Mercer (The Rick Mercer Report) and Enrico Colantoni (Flashpoint) on their Gemini Award Nominations (the Canadian Emmys!) question though: why does The Tudors qualify […]
Gina Torres of Firefly fame will be joining the cast of the #1 guilty pleasure show Gossip Girl for a few episodes. Gina will be staring as none other than Vanessa’s (!) mom and it is being said that the role may be recurring after the initial episodes. It’s nice to see an amazing actress […]
The collaborations between the Whedon-verse and the BSG-galaxy just keep on coming. The one time blonde haired bad boy, James Marsters, is guest starring in a minimum of three episodes on the BSG spin-off Caprica, which debuts on the newly-renamed Syfy on January 22nd, 2010. But in the meantime, check out the pretty awesome pilot/miniseries […]
Joining Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) on the new East Dillon football field this year on season 4 of Friday Night Lights are newcomers Michael B Jordan (as Vince) and Matt Laurie (as Luke). Both new characters are being advertised as charming but flawed and there promises to be friction between them from the get go. […]
Paula Abdul has officially left her post as resident shoulder-to-cry-on on the American Idol judging panel. An irreconcilable contract dispute (aka being replaced by the vile but knowledgeable Kara DioGuardi) has left Paula out of FOX’s upcoming 9th season of the ratings juggernaut. Beloved by contestants for being the one consistently supportive voice on the […]
The hits just keep on coming as news broke today of yet another depressing celebrity death. This time it was 92 year old legendary newsman Walter Cronkite. The beloved anchor was once considered “the most trusted man in America”. His coverage of the JFK Assassination is iconic. He was the world’s most trusted source during […]
My favourite TV writer, Aaron Sorkin, is attached to fix the troubled script for Moneyball, a baseball movie starring Brad Pitt. Sounds like my kind of movie. For full details click here
One of the greatest things about Friday Night Lights is its ability to evolve with its characters instead of artificially holding on to them. Last season saw the departures of Jason Street (Scott Porter) and Smash Williams (Gaius Charles) from the town of Dillon. Both boys had graduated highschool and were ready to leave their […]
After you’ve recovered from the incredibly sad (read: ridiculous, wrong and simply unfair) cancellation of Privileged, don’t despair that you may never see your favourite cast members again. It seems that the adorable Joanna Garcia (Privileged‘s leading lady) will be heading to the upper east side to romance one Mr. Nate Archibald. Her 4 episode […]
Ana Ortiz, who plays Betty’s sister Hilda on ABC’s Ugly Betty, gave birth to her first child, a baby girl named Paloma Louise Lebenzon, on Saturday afternoon. Ortiz and her husband Noah Lebenzon married in June 2007 in Puerto Rico.
After the deaths of the prince of late night (Ed McMahon), the queen of the 70s (Farrah Fawcett) and the king of pop (Michael Jackson) earlier this week, you can now add the king of pitchmen Billy Mays to the tragic list. The familiar booming voice of Billy Mays has been convincing television viewers to […]
Starting with the sad, Emmy-winning/nominated actors Bradley Whitford (The West Wing, Studio 60) and Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle) filed for divorce on Friday; August would have been the 17th wedding anniversary for these parents of 3. Whitford (a TV favourite of mine) can next be seen alongside Richard Jenkins (Six Feet Under), Amy […]
There are few things I hold sacred in this world. I pretty much take most things lightly. But Buffy the Vampire Slayer might be the closest thing I have to a religion. Think about it. You’ve got it all. Moral Code? Check. Heroes? Check. A strong respect for life and souls? Check. Witty puns? Double […]
NEWS: Fox has made the (questionable) decision to air season 6 of beloved summer smash So You Think You Can Dance right after season 5 ends in the fall. The decision, no doubt, is their attempt to make their Idol-free fall months more Idol-audience friendly and put up a bit of a fight against the […]
Great news for fans of Josh Schwartz’s cult hit/espionage comedy Chuck! Against all odds, Chuck and friends will be returning to NBC next year. The highly improbable pickup comes on the heel of many a “save our show” campaign (including a clever Subway promotion) and even a shout out on The Daily Show (see our […]
I haven’t been this proud of the networks in a really long time. Not only does the notorious FOX seem determined to undercut its reputation as the least supportive network for intelligent programming (see their miraculous second season pickup for Dollhouse and the intense promotional power they’re putting behind Glee), but the alphabet network (ABC) […]
God, I hope I’m not jumping the gun on this, because being told the following and then having it taken away from me might be too much to bear, but… DOLLHOUSE IS RENEWED! That’s right, the terminally lowly-viewed, network-interfered, high-concept, twisty drama about what makes a human being is going to be back, boys and […]
More sad news for the world of television: Golden Girls actress Bea Arthur died of cancer this week at the age of 86. The dry-witted actress will be greatly missed but her memory will live on in hundreds of hours of classic sitcom moments on both Golden Girls and Maude.
My favourite famous couple had a baby! Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof (Willow and Wesley in Buffy/Angel)’s first child, a daughter named Satyana Denisof, was born on March 24th, her mother’s birthday, in LA. After meeting on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in 1999, the couple was married in 2003 and serve as godparents […]
It’s a week of sadness for TV fans as we lose yet another beloved symbol of TV greatness. Andy Hallett, who played the singing demon Lorne on Angel died on Sunday. Hallett, who has been suffering from a heart condition for 5 years now, was only 33. Though he was relatively unknown as an actor […]
We all complain all the time that good TV is dying. Every season another handful of enjoyable shows bites the dust because they can’t find an audience. Critical favourites are put in the intensive care unit after one episode and are lucky to make it through season 1. 3 years ago, one of the best shows […]
2 of TV’s most charming sitcoms are back on TV this week and I sure wouldn’t want you to miss out on seeing them. Christina Applegate’s Samantha Who? came back on Thursday. Be sure to tune in for next week’s episode and, in the meantime, catch up on this week’s on abc.com. Be sure to […]
Last week the world bit adieu to beloved actor, Ron Silver who died on in his sleep after a 2 year battle with cancer. The Tony Award winning actor (Speed the Plow) will always be fondly remembered at My TV as the man who gave life to one of The West Wing‘s most memorable returning […]
Your average TV fan is probably aware of Guys & Dolls. For one thing, the 1992 revival starred Peter Gallagher (also known as The OC’s Sandy Cohen) and the iconic Nathan Lane. What fans may also know is that Lauren Graham, beloved by all as a Gilmore Girl, is currently starring as Adelaide in the […]
The questions were: – How do I live with an unresolved cliffhanger? – What am I supposed to do without Ephram Brown? – My DVD collection is incomplete, how do I fix that? and- Is Colin alive? The Answer is… According to the TV Addict, Season 2 of Everwood will finally reach its impatient audience […]
In case you weren’t excited about the Gossip Girl spinoff already (a distinct possibility, I grant you), the latest casting news should have you not only jumping on the bandwagon but also jumping for joy. Brittany Snow and Krysten Ritter are set to star as the central sisters in the series. Snow, who is best known […]
