The My TV Nominee interview series continues with our second entry of the year. A nominee in both the “Best Variety/Talk Show Host” and “Be-My-Best-Friend” categories, Danielle Fishel is the host of the Style network’s pop-culture roaster The Dish (nominated for “Best Variety/Talk Show”). The charming host also happens to be a TV icon, […]
Now is that time of year in TV when news of what could be happening next year starts leaking out. It’s pilot season, a free-for-all of brilliant concepts and derivative sure-things battling it out for precious few primetime spots. My picks for the possible best of 2011’s fall season?

Glee’s greatest asset, Colfer’s […]
Little Mosque on the Prairie, now in its 5th season on CBC, is possibly Canada’s best-known sitcom at the moment. It’s leading man is Zaib Shaikh, a charming multi-hyphenate dedicated to the Canadian performing arts landscape. The actor-producer-writer-director got his start in the theatre before being cast as Amaar, a forward-thinking Imam who trades his […]
At the finale of Heroes vs. Villains, Jeff mentioned it might be fun to have the two power-player rivals back to go head to head one day. On February 16 we’ll finally get to see that as the 16 new Redemption Island castaways are joined by two of the greatest players ever to play Survivor. […]
