Ginnifer Goodwin, Bill Paxton and Jeanne Tripplehorn
The cat's out of the bag in the fifth and final season of Big Love: Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton), Utah's newly elected State Senator, has announced that he and his family are polygamists — and it's not sitting well with everyone.
"I don't think Bill regrets [the announcement], although I think he has underestimated the amount of animosity and persecution he faces," Paxton said at the Los Angeles premiere on January 12. "But he has to try to reform the image of plural marriage and polygamy, otherwise it will be left to guys like Alby (Matt Ross) to promote."
Bill's three wives struggle to come to terms with living out in the open for a ...

Spoiler alert! Well, it's about time!
For at least the last three weeks, Jamie Lauren, the diminutive downer from Top Chef's fifth season, has been trashing up the otherwise exquisite All Stars edition with her bitchy attitude, boring creations and obvious annoyance with having to, you know, prepare actual food.

Come on, get happy! After dealing with a tragic school shooting last week, the docs of Seattle Grace Mercy West lighten up tonight (9/8c, ABC), according to Grey's Anatomy executive producer Krista Vernoff.

Law & Order: UK (Friday, 9/8c, BBC America)
The big trend this winter is the Americanization of British series (Showtime's Shameless, Syfy's Being Human, MTV's Skins), so it's rather refreshing to check back in on this British translation of one of America's most successful exports, the Law & Order mothership.

Josh Hopkins, Ian Gomez, Brian Van Holt, Dan Byrd
They joke around, drink and break into Bon Jovi tunes. Turns out, the guys who star in Cougar Town aren't so different from their characters who spend hours sipping wine, tossing pennies in a can and trading zingers. This motley mantourage of onetime cougar Jules Cobb (Courteney Cox) includes her bartender boyfriend Grayson (Josh Hopkins), fun-loving next-door neighbor Andy (Ian Gomez), college-freshman son Travis (Dan Byrd) and lovable loser ex-husband Bobby (Brian Van Holt). We got them together on Byrd's 25th birthday to talk comedy, women and what's next for the "cul-de-sac crew." ...

Fringe
Fringe moving to Friday may seem earth shattering to some of its fans, but at FOX's TCA party on January 11, Lance Reddick and Jasika Nicole previewed future plot lines that will literally put the Fringe division on shaky ground.
"The degradation of the physical universe that is happening in the alternate universe is going to start happening on the primary side," says Reddick. Adds Nicole, "It's no longer about ...
