William Shatner: TV Guide News

Today's Preview: Boston Legal Goes to High Court | Roush Dispatch | 4/22/2008
However much some of us tend to wring our hands about it, there’s a reason ABC’s Boston Legal scores those Emmy nominations year after year that often make us wonder what the voters are smoking. Several of those Emmy-bait moments occurred a week ago, in an episode about a right-to-die case involving Shirley Schmidt (Candice Bergen) and her father suffering from Alzheimer dementia, with Alan Shore (James Spader) making his usual impassioned case for his client. What made this argument more affecting than usual was the fact that Alan used his soapbox to contemplate the day when he might eventually be called on to make just such a terrible decision regarding the fate of his best friend, that tragic buffoon Denny Crane (William Shatner.)The speech was an emotional blockbuster, and so was the tender climax as Shirley watched her father slip away. Scenes like this help convince Emmy voters that this show really is something, to paraphrase someone talking about Alan in... read more
Shatner: Star Trek Film Diss Is Not Logical | Today's News: Our Take | 11/21/2007
Set William Shatner on (still) stunned. As expressed in previous sound bites, the original Enterprise captain (no offense, Pike) questions the decision to not extend him the same courtesy as Leonard Nimoy and somehow include him in J.J. Abrams' prequel film lensing now. "How could you not put one of the founding figures into a movie that was being resurrected? That doesn't make good business sense to me!" the Boston Legal blusterer tells TV's Extra. To his credit, the Shat argues, "I've become even more popular than I was playing Captain Kirk. I'm good box office and I get publicity.... But, they are going in a different direction." Any snubs aside, Shatner predicts, "It'll be a wonderful film." read more
Boston Legal Preview: What's Weighing Denny Down? | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/13/2007
Tonight, in an episode rescheduled from Nov. 6, Boston Legal (10:02 pm/ET, ABC) addresses several weighty matters, not least of which is a suit against knucklehead Denny, who fired an associate for being ? Mr. Tolerance strikes again ? too fat. Why? "Because he's Denny Crane," says executive producer Bill D'Elia. "He read this article ? a study from Harvard that's been misinterpreted ? which indicated that being fat is likely to make other people fat. The thing that's so entertaining about it .. read more
CMA Nominee Jason Alexander on How He's Country | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/1/2007
"You mean you don't think of me synonymously with country music?" Jason Alexander laughs when asked how he came to be nominated for a trophy at Wednesday's CMA Awards (8 pm/ET, ABC). Best known, of course, for his iconic role as George Costanza on Seinfeld, Alexander has been branching out as a director, helming episodes of the CW's Everybody Hates Chris and Oxygen's Campus Ladies. But it's his work behind the camera on Brad Paisley's music video "Online" that scored him his first CMA ... read more
The New Season: Busy Enough for You? | Roush Dispatch | 9/25/2007
Already playing catch-up on only the second day of the official TV season. Geez, how will we ever survive Wednesdays and Thursdays? (Pause here for a silent prayer to the powers that protect my DVRs.)Anyway, the biggest news on Monday was how Heroes would bounce back from a first-season finale that disappointed many (I was not among them, but then, my expectations for this uneven show haven’t always been all that high). I was mostly enthralled, once I got over yet another tedious Mohinder speech to kick off the season with more blah-blah about destiny and the plague that threatens to eradicate these evolutionary wonder-heroes as “the fate of humanity itself hangs in the balance.” Seriously, they talk that way all the time on Heroes, and don’t I wish Mohinder would just put a sock in it.But then the story kicks in, and by the end, I’m even in awe of Mohinder, who’s in league with Noah Bennet (formerly HRG) to infiltrate The Company and bring them down.... read more
