For Ryan Shay (Parker Young), life will never be the same as he knew it. Before the holiday break, Ryan found out that his parents Sheila (Ana Gasteyer) and Fred (Chris Parnell) had adopted him and Ryan’s reaction was understandably strong. In fact, he had a major freak-out attack, which led him to test what was real around him by kicking various street posts, finally forcing him to as if he were running from a truth he could not bear. Ryan’s life will never be the same. He had been living comfortably content as a Shay, knowing who his parents were and that he was related to his sister Lisa (Allie Grant). But once one finds out that the family they thought was theirs is actually not, reality seems to shift. Ryan began to doubt his own reality and realness. It made perfect sense. But life should not make you doubt your on existence and the relationships to those closest to you. In true SUBURGATORY fashion, Ryan’s reaction was both hilarious and heart-breaking. We ached for the golden boy whose world had been shattered by the mere word “adoption.” [Read more…]

Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins Teases JUSTIFIED’s Fourth Season Return (Think: Mystery, Uneasy Alliances and Sins of the Father!)
The past three seasons of JUSTIFIED have taught us that Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) is not a man to be trifled with. He does not seek trouble, but if trouble comes looking for him, he will greet it head on, shooting first, and asking questions later. But as can be expected for a man who chose to be a U.S. Marshal and who found himself thrust back into the serpent’s nest of a community rife with lawlessness and criminal enterprises, trouble lurks around every corner.

We Preview What Fans Can Expect From COUGAR TOWN on TBS (Hint: More Laughs, More Wine, and More Outrageous Fun!)
Making its debut on its new network, COUGAR TOWN returns with everything fans have loved over the past three seasons. It offers an excess of wine, neighborly pranks and shenanigans, new obscure Jules’ rules, Travis and Laurie’s continuing dance of romance, and their fervent hope that Stan is not the devil-child they all fear is growing up next door.
COUGAR TOWN has long since embraced its inaccurate moniker and continues to mock it with every breath and title card each week. Having quickly abandoned the the world of women chasing much younger men and instead focusing on the humorous antics of an ensemble of friends living in a cul-de-sac in the suburbs of Gulf Haven, Florida, COUGAR TOWN offers instead a much warmer, hilarious, and charming environment regaling fans with delightful tales of their everyday lives. There is a strong thread of love woven through each episode and we follow along as it entices along on another crazy adventure. [Read more…]
