  • Pilot News: Krause, Tierney and Nelson Try Parenthood | Today's News: Our Take | 3/24/2009
    Peter Krause's latest role is neither dirty nor inherently sexy. Instead, he has been cast as Adam Braverman — aka what we are calling "the Steve Martin role" — in NBC's Parenthood pilot based on the 1989 movie. Sarah Ramos (American Dreams) will play Krause's TV daughter, who actually was a son on the big screen. Yeah, this project is sounding more and more like "inspired by" than "based on."

    Also on board for Friday Night Lights creator Jason Katims' adaptation of the film is ER fave Maura Tierney ... read more 16 Comments

  • Maura Tierney Checks Out of ER for Good | Today's News: Our Take | 10/15/2008

    In its final year, ER (Thursdays at 10 pm/ET, NBC) will welcome back some old friends while other cast members make early exits. In the 15th-season premiere, Greg Pratt (Mekhi Phifer) died a shocking death, and tonight Maura Tierney's lovable but beleaguered Dr. Abby Lockhart checks out for the last time.

    TV Guide: You wanted Abby to be killed off, but she won't be. So how does she leave?

    See Tierney's answer and find out what's in Luka and Abby's future after the jump. read more 23 Comments

  • 300 Patients | TV Show Recaps | 12/7/2007
    As we celebrated the landmark 300th outing of ER tonight with a rare episode directed by series executive producer John Wells I was thrilled to see the powerhouse acting of Maura Tierney and Goran Visnjic as the centerpiece of the episode For those of us who have been fans since that very first episode 14 years ago is that even possible it is gratifying to see this show still telling compelling heartfelt stories about characters that we care about I havent always liked where the story went but Ive certainly enjoyed the ride Thank God Abby finally came clean to Luka I honestly didnt think I was going to be able to take much more of relapse Abby and I was so relieved that all the secrets and lies were out on the table There are a million things I could say about the unfortunate timing of Abbys disclosure in the wake of Lukas loss but my complaint would be mostly about the acrobatics that the writers have had to perform to work aro read more be the first to leave a comment
  • Your take, please, on my ... | Matt Roush | 12/7/2007
    Question: Your take, please, on my impression that television critics always focus on the new and buzzworthy while ignoring popular, good long-running shows. The most striking example from this season is the superb work of Maura Tierney in recent episodes of ER, as her character, Abby, succumbs to the bottle once again. Sure, ER's been on forever and its quality has waxed and waned, but Tierney's performance this season has been heartbreaking. Certainly among the best acting I've seen on the tube this year. But will we see her name on the list of Emmy nominations next summer? I doubt it, and in large part, it seems to me, because voices like yours aren't interested in what's considered "old" or so-been-there. So I'm curious as to whether critics recognize just how loyal many viewers continue to be to seasoned shows. I get that your job is to search out and critique the latest and greatest, but programs like ER endure for a reason. I would have followed Christine Cagney and Mary Beth ... read more
