Meredith Baxter: David Birney hit me
Baxter made the allegations in her new memoir, Untied. She said Birney's abuse was "so sudden and unexpected, I couldn't tell you which hand hit me, or even how hard." Baxter spoke at length about it this week on Today and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Birney, who already denied Baxter's claims to Today, added that the actress "conducted a relentless and brutal assault" against the joint custody of their three children for eight years after their divorce.
"During that time, she arrived ...

Glee, FlashForward
This week, television surprised and moved us. Meredith Baxter announced that she is gay. Sons of Anarchy shifted its focus abruptly from revenge to deep sorrow. And House admitted that without Wilson, he is truly alone. Also: Nathan Petrelli is dead and the ladies of Eastwick are witches. (OK, so not everything was a surprise.)

Cold Case
For a cop show, CBS' Cold Case isn't big on shoot-'em-ups. Maybe it's because the drama's Philadelphia detectives usually sift through evidence from long ago. The team recently closed the books on the murder of a 1919 suffragette. Let's just say they didn't have to call in a SWAT team to solve that one.
But Lilly Rush and Co. will end their fourth season (this Sunday at 9 pm/ET) with a bang. Two bangs, actually. "Our detectives are getting shot," reveals executive producer Veena Sud. "I can't say who. They're all in jeopardy. It's very big."
Almost unprecedented. Beyond the show's trademark flashbacks, George — the serial-killer tormentor of Rush (Kathryn Morris) — is the only character to have taken a bullet in nearly 100 episodes. Det. Kat Miller (

It was very hard for me to watch Brian dig into chocolate ice cream and chocolate brownies, seeing as how I recently gave up chocolate… temporarily. Can we just talk about Dave wearing that apron? Hilarious, sexy, cuddly? Take your pick. Just when he's getting his groove back, he sees Deena's Richard at the kids' school and then learns about Brian's promotion. Tough day?How perfect was Meredith Baxter as Deena's mother, though? I had a few Family Ties flashbacks — all that wise advice she gave Mallory, all those sentimental moments in the kitchen, let's take a moment to remind ourselves that Elyse Keaton does know her way around domestic troubles — but she's hilarious as this older mom, sweeping in like a hurricane, blurting things out. "Are you two having sexual intercourse?" My god, woman! She's still getting in the way of love — nothing like sending your grown daughter to bed in a nightie and her husband to his own room at the opposite end of the house. But sh...

Meredith Baxter, David Birney, Bridget Loves Bernie
Question: A long time ago there was a sitcom set in New York (I think). It involved a Jewish boy and a Catholic girl who got married. (I might have their religions reversed.) Of course, the usual problems developed. I want to say it was called Beth and Bernie. Am I right? Thanks.
Answer: Close, A.C. Actually, you're thinking of Bridget Loves Bernie, a sitcom that debuted on CBS in September 1972 in a cushy slot between All in the Family and Mary Tyler Moore. David Birney (St. Elsewhere, the TV version of Serpico) play
