Neal McDonough: TV Guide News

Neal McDonough Set to Steam up Wisteria Lane | Today's News: Our Take | 6/27/2008
Wisteria Lane just got a new local to contend with next season. Traveler and Boomtown alum Neal McDonough has been cast as a Desperate Housewives series regular, Ausiello reports. The deets on McDonough's character and story arc are tough to come by, but there is one detail that should spark some theorizing: He'll be playing one of the Housewives' new love interests (the Reporter's calling out Nicollette Sheridan's Edie Britt). Let the speculation begin. — Anna DimondUse our Online Video... read more
Neal McDonough: Sci Fi's Tin Man Is a Family Man | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/29/2007
Actor Neal McDonough (Traveler) based his decision to take on the lead in Sci Fi's anticipated Oz-take, Tin Man (premiering Dec. 2 at 9 pm/ET), on atypical reasons: "For me, having two babies now and the most beautiful wife in the world ? wonderful wife, best friend, everything ? I had to think about that," he told TV Guide at the media premiere. "Every decision I make now is 100 percent about my family, for (Tin Man) Wyatt Cain it was the same thing and he had it taken away from him." ... read more

Episode 8: "The Exchange" | Traveler | 7/19/2007
This may have been the worst breakup I’ve ever had. I began this blog with the hopes that Traveler would survive the bad decisions of network executives and continue to have a great story line. And although its great story line continued, it did not survive the network ax.... I hate ending relationships with no closure. I was left hoping that ABC had extended the episode to 75 minutes, and then the 11 o'clock news came on. What happened?The episode seemed rushed and unfulfilled. We were... read more
Episode 7: "The Reunion" | Traveler | 7/12/2007
On Sunday while vactioning, I was informed by a stranger that Traveler had been cancelled. I freaked out. He then looked at me and said, “Didn’t you say you worked for TV Guide?” I was a bit embarrassed. I go out of town for one week and my whole world changes!Apparently ABC has let the actors' contracts lapse. Basically this means the show will not return, but ABC will air its finale next week. And since this is my blog, I am just going to say it: The ABC executives who made... read more
