The Closer Creator James Duff Previews Winter Season

Change can be both necessary and extremely hard to accept, especially when we have a say in the matter. If you don't believe in destiny, it's possible sometimes to escape it, but the required effort can seem almost worse than the fate we're trying to avoid.

In our more experimental winter season, Brenda starts out even more resistant to change than usual, especially when Fritz confronts her with a little rescue kitten named Joel. To the unpracticed eye, Joel might appear irresistible; to the scarred heart of Brenda Leigh Johnson, however, the tiny orange-and-white kitten looks less like change and more like the repetition of a journey that ended with her beloved Kitty's ashes in an urn on the mantle. Saying no to Joel's cute, little face might seem difficult, but Brenda believes she has a choice in the matter. Fritz employs some interesting relationship maneuvers in an attempt to convince her otherwise. The past does not necessarily dictate the future...read more

Mega Buzz: Scoop on House, Numbers, 24, and More!

Every week, editors Mickey O'Connor and Adam Bryant satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to mega_scoop@tvguide.com.

What's going on with Cuddy, Wilson, Foreman, Cameron and Chase while House is in the mental institution? —
RBlythe
MICKEY:
First off, have you seen this Season 6 preview? Because I just noticed something awesome: Dr. House is kissing the brilliant Franka Potente (Run Lola Run, the Bourne films), and she's wearing a lab coat. Hmm... Until we get to that, though, only Wilson and House will appear in the season premiere, which takes place at the Mayfield Psychiatric Hospital. After that, look for Foreman to take the lead back at Princeton-Plainsboro, which will cause a rift in his relationship with Thirteen. What do you people have against the lovely Olivia Wilde anyway?

Do you know if Amita accepts Charlie's proposal on Numbers? — Marie
ADAM:
Amita's decision will defintely be revealed in the season premiere, and I'm hearing that ... read more

The Closer Creator James Duff: "Terms of Extradition"

It's the end of our summer season and, regretfully, it's time to say good-bye. Coincidentally, our finale — a longer version of which will be available on-line and on iTunes after-air — seems mostly about going away. That's not only a clue to Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson's personal life, but also to solving the mysteries confronting Major Crimes.

I say mysteries because I like to remind people that The Closer is not merely about catching the criminal, but also getting the confession. This task ... read more

Nurse Jackie
10:30/9:30c Showtime
In the highly charged season finale, addiction and adultery make for a most volatile cocktail, and the tension fomented is so palpably thick you could cut it with a scalpel. Things spark when an angry Eddie decides to drown his sorrows at a bar — and not just any bar, but Kevin's bar. As Jackie's lover tosses back shots and beers, a cheery Kevin sings the praises of his lovely wife, and you just know that something's gotta give. Later at the hospital, a drunken Eddie confronts Jackie, who is so shaken that she attempts to self-medicate, and that sends her spinning.

Read on for previews of The Closer, Which Way Home, Rachel Zoe Project and Dating in the Dark. read more

The Closer Creator James Duff: "Maternal Instincts"

Our next-to-last episode of the season presents Brenda and Fritz with the unexpected problem of providing constant supervision for their imperfectly behaved teenage niece, Charlie, while continuing to do their jobs. This problem, which will be almost too familiar for most of our audience, challenges our heroic couple in ways both small and enormous.

Exactly how much responsibility does one assign to a child? How should a kid be raised? What are ... read more
