John Schneider: TV Guide News

Ringwald, Smallville Dad Find a Bit of Heaven | Today's News: Our Take | 4/3/2008
ABC Family on Wednesday announced casting for its new, as-yet-untitled series from 7th Heaven creator Brenda Hampton (which, in case you're curious, is currently referred to as the "Untitled Brenda Hampton Project"). Not only has the show signed on Smallville's John Schneider (Jonathan Kent) and Oz's Ernie Hudson (Leo Glynn), but also the former Sixteen-year-old America loved, Molly Ringwald. The series, to air this summer, will be a one-hour drama that — as Ausiello previously reported — centers on a family and their friends after 15-year-old Amy Nicholson becomes unexpectedly pregnancy (no, Diablo Cody is not signed on). The show's recurring cast members will also include newcomer Shailene Woodley (previously seen on The O.C.), Camille Winbush (The Bernie Mac Show) and Allen Evangelista (Zoey 101). How exciting will it be to see these new cast additions together? We'll have to wait for the drama to unfold. — Anna Dimond read more
Episode Recap: "Lulu Grandiron" | Nip/Tuck | 2/6/2008
As I've been quite verbal about in the past, I was a huge Knots Landing fan. So after reading about this episode and then seeing the coming attractions last week, I was, needless to say, excited. I mean, how could I not be? Donna Mills was portraying a rich Beverly Hills socialite named Lulu Grandiron and she and her friends married wealthy high-powered execs, "divorced them and then took all their money." And adding to a true Knots fan's delight, one of those friends (Annette) was played by Joan Van Ark. All they needed was Michele Lee and it would've been more of a complete set. But I'm thinking that Michele was asked but declined since the four rich women were all plastic surgery fanatics and maybe Michele didn't want to admit she's had work done? Those two other roles were filled by women who co-starred on other prime-time soaps in the '80s: Shari Belafonte (she's dropped the "Harper") from Hotel played Catherine in the really bad wig and Deborah Shelton from Dallas was Marla... read more
Episode Recap: "Duke Collins" | Nip/Tuck | 12/19/2007
Just like last week, I want to start with the ending. How many of you were reminded of the final episode of The Sopranos with that quick fade to black? I kept thinking something shocking or tragic was going to happen since I knew it was the final minute of the show. "Silent Night" was heard in the background simultaneously with a dramatic beat, while slow camera shots of each character were shown. Once Eden walked in with her fake smile and Sean looked down, avoiding her, the one thing I expected to happen was for Julia to collapse and that would be the cliffhanger since we won't get a new episode until January 15th. What was that liquid that Eden added to the fruitcake she made and then fed to Julia? It seemed like Julia was getting queasy or dizzy periodically throughout the second half hour, but she never passed out. And nothing shocking happened at the end. At least with this fade to black, I didn't think my cable suddenly went out like I did with The Sopranos (that was more of... read more
Episode Recap: "Dr. Joshua Lee" | Nip/Tuck | 12/12/2007
Where do I start? So much happened in this episode that my head is spinning. I guess I'll start with the ending: Matt catching himself on fire and jumping off the balcony into the swimming pool. Call me a drug novice, but I am guessing Matt was freebasing cocaine or crack or "cooking" meth and since he was so out of it, he accidentally set himself on fire. Can we assume since he was carefully trying to read the "how to" instructions that when Matt and Kimber would do their drugs, it was Kimber who was the expert? Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark. Nothing Sean and Christian can't surgically fix, we can assume. But I did feel bad for the newly-crowned Burger King employee Matt. Kimber really laid the honesty on him when she packed up her things and left him: "I can't move forward carrying your dead weight" and then "I never loved you, Matt. I told you I did, but I lied. And I'm really sorry. I hope some day we can be friends." You knew Matt was going to go ballistic after Kimber told... read more
Episode Recap: "Chaz Darling" | Nip/Tuck | 11/28/2007
TV villains throughout the years have ranged from characters that you love to hate to those you simply just hate and wish would go away. Ben (Michael Emerson) from Lost, Alexis (Joan Collins) from Dynasty, J.R. (Larry Hagman) from Dallas and Abby (Donna Mills) from Knots Landing would fall into the first category. Eden (AnnaLynne McCord) definitely belongs in the second one. Ugh! The character has no redeeming qualities — I actually cringe whenever she is on screen. Do I find fault in the actress' portrayal? No. I just think Eden is being written to be way too hateful. Interesting to know that everyone I talk to about the show agrees: Thumbs down to Eden! Same goes with most of you who have posted comments here (Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" runs thru my head when I read most of the comments).When Eden first appeared in this episode, it seemed she was heading in a better direction. When she encouraged her BGF (Best Gay Friend) Chaz (Jai Rodriguez from Queer Eye) to... read more
