Book Review - 'Fringe: The Zodiac Paradox'
FOX's brilliant sci-fi series Fringe ended its five-year run in January, and it did so on a strong note. The series finale, "An Enemy of Fate," not only resolved the show's plot threads, but gave our characters an emotionally satisfying ending that felt earned. But it also left plenty of stories to tell through other media -- starting with 'Fringe: The Zodiac Paradox', the first...
Jimmy Kimmel didn't buy a $1.9 million nude portrait of 'Golden Girls' star for Jeffrey Ross
Jimmy Kimmel always manages to stay in the news, even when it's for something he didn't actually do. On Friday, comedian Jeffrey Ross (of Comedy Central's 'The Burn with Jeffrey Ross') tweeted a photo of himself holding a nude portrait of deceased Golden Girls star Bea Arthur -- one that looked very similar to the painting that head-scratchingly sold for $1.9 million...
British TV You've Never Seen (But Should): Murphy's Law
One of the most prominent genres in British television is the gritty cop drama -- the country's got loads of them. They're darker than most American fare, but they're also (as a rule) better written, with stronger lead performances and less predictable cases. But, the abundance of these shows makes it tougher to decide which ones are worth your time. Sure, the Helen Mirren-starring ...
CW to air burnoff 'Cult' episodes
A canceled midseason CW drama will be back on the air June 28. The network will burn off the six unaired episodes of “Cult” in two-hour blocks from 8-10 p.m. for three consecutive Friday nights. “Cult” had an underwhelming 0.3 rating in adults 18- 49 one week, then duplicated that number the following Tuesday night prior to its cancelation.

While the Nashville season finale was filled with tragedy and heartbreak, the episode offered up a couple gorgeous songs to fit the tone.

'Real Housewives of New York' down to one salary hold out
And then there was one. The cast of The Real Housewives of New York City decided to hold out for more money on the eve of the program's sixth season. Slowly they have worked their way back into Bravo's good graces and signed new deals (for pay raises, of course). There were two holdouts refusing to budge from their demands, but that number was cut in half after it was revealed t...

NHL to air hockey awards in new format this season
The National Hockey League has decided to throw a curveball at everyone (terrible mixing of sports there, I realize. Forgiveness, please) and change how it awards its end-of-season awards. Beginning this year, the NHL will conduct two televised specials that will present the awards. In the past, the league has done award shows similar to the Emmys or ESPY awards. The new shows w...
'Katie' loses another executive producer
Katie Couric cannot catch a break, can she? Her talk show, Katie, was expected to be a heavyweight and do really well among households and thus far, it has not disappointed in that regard. However, what is worrisome is the rate that executive producers are scurrying away from the program. Michael Morrison is the latest to jump ship. He joined the program in early 2012 after Jeff...

Have you ever sat down and watched an episode of Bravo's Inside the Actors Studio, or is your only experience with James Lipton been Will Ferrell's fantastic impersonation on NBC's Saturday Night Live?

Check out two new photos from Sunday's 'Mad Men' episode
We've got five episodes left in Mad Men's sixth season, and there's absolutely no telling what could happen. Even after six years, the show is exceptionally brilliant at keeping us guessing, from the shocking one-two punch that was "For Immediate Release" to the drugged-up fever dream that was "The Crash." That's what's brilliant about Mad Men: it keeps us guessing. ...
'Crossing Lines' heading to CBC
In a bit of a surprising move, the CBC has landed the rights to air a French-German co-production called Crossing Lines. What makes the move surprising is that the CBC is struggling financially and it did not seem the network would go after the program. Crossing Lines is developed by Ed Bernero (Criminal Minds showrunner)'s production company, the Munich-based Tandem Communications....
