First Look: NIKITA’s Second Season Premiere Puts the Change in the Game
Rather than read anything into the fact that NIKITA was the last of the Fall offerings to receive the sizzling season premiere photo treatment, we’re going to go ahead and assume that the CW Network was simply saving the best for last. Appropriately titled “Game Change” and “Falling Ash” respectively, the first two episodes of NIKITA’s much-anticipated second season sees Nikita and Michael on the run with Division’s Amanda and Alex hot on their tail and feature a handful of exiting new (Dillon Casey’s Agent Sean) and returning (Devon Sawa’s Owen) faces. See for yourself, after the jump. [Read more…]
Is BEING ERICA’s Journey Coming to an End? Erin Karpluk and Michael Riley Spill All, Plus Which Actors They’d Like to See Step Into Their Shoes on the ABC Reboot
While headlines would have you believe that the likes of Rick Mercer, Callum Keith Rennie and THE BORGIAS were among the big winners following last night’s 26th Annual Gemini Awards (Think: Canada’s Emmy equivalent), we like to think that the biggest winner was us. No really, despite the fact that the nominating committee has yet to take our suggestion for an “Outstanding Television Blogger” category seriously, we did get the opportunity for a brief one-on-two chat with two of BEING ERICA’s biggest stars. Meet Erin Karpluk (Erica Strange) and Michael Riley (Dr. Tom), the talented twosome who were only too happy to take a few minutes to discuss the future of the show, what’s fans can expect from the upcoming fourth season and which famous actor they’d like to see step into their roles in the proposed ABC reboot. See for yourself after the jump. [Read more…]
Get It While it’s Still Called COUGAR TOWN! Win The Complete Second Season on DVD
Inspired by last night’s [possibly alcohol-fuelled] tweet by COUGAR TOWN co-creator Bill Lawrence that let it slip that the much-maligned moniker might not be around for very much longer, we figured now might be a good a time as any to give away what might very soon become an incredibly valuable collector’s item: COUGAR TOWN: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON on DVD.
To enter to win, simply leave your best suggestion for what Bill Lawrence and Co. might wish to consider renaming the series in the comments below. One winner will be chosen at random and notified via email on Friday September 16th (So be sure to enter with a valid email address). Not a winner? Jam-packed with exclusive bloopers, deleted scenes, webisodes and outtakes, COUGAR TOWN: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON is available at Amazon for a mere $24.99. Or, to put it in terms the Cul-de-sac Crew might better appreciate, two moderately priced bottles of wine.

TWO AND A HALF MEN! ALL MY CHILDREN! THE OSCARS! The TV Addict Week in Rewind
Word Most In Need Of Defining: Okay, folks, listen up. Ashton Kutcher is not “naked” in the TWO AND A HALF MEN ads. Ellen DeGeneres is not “naked” in the ads touting her show featuring Ashton. If you write a headline promising us naked, we’d better see naughty bits!
Most Over-priced Gift: TMZ reported that JERSEY SHORE’s Pauly D agreed to DJ a Kardashian event during Fashion’s Night Out in New York City and waive his usual $40,000 fee. This despite the fact that apparently, his services weren’t requested. Can a Pauly be exchanged?
Exactly What Oprah’s Network Needed… Not: Apparently unaware of the fact that there are approximately 4,345,247 home improvement shows, OWN has hired perpetually perky Paige Davis to host yet another.
This Just In: Lifetime pulled the plug on THE PROTECTOR, a show I’m willing to bet not a single one of you even knew existed. [Read more…]
