Gregory Smith
Quite possibly.
This much is certain — Everwood alum Gregory Smith is among the ensemble of guest stars on board for the 13th episode of Eli Stone's second season. Given recent events and scheduling announcements made by ABC, that outing would appear to be the Greg Berlanti-created legal drama's swan song.
Though unconfirmed, it appears that Smith will be playing ...

Two years after signing off the airwaves, the WB is returning with new programming — as well as some of its most memorable series — but not on TV. According to an article in the Hollywood Reporter, the Warner Bros. Television Group is reviving the network as a website, where viewers will be able to watch free streaming episodes of Gilmore Girls, What I Like About You and Everwood, as well as all other WB-produced shows. (The site's "working title," wb.com, currently jumps to a general Warner Bros. Studios roundup of movies, TV, DVDs, etc.)The WB, which merged with UPN in 2006 to become the bastion of twentysomething programming that is the CW, aired a string of fan-favorite shows in its 10-year existence, including Dawson's Creek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. It's not clear yet whether non-Warner Bros. shows will be available on the site, but new Web-minisodes are reportedly in the works, with series aimed at the WB's core audience.Warner Bros. hasn't confirmed the ...

Glenn Fitzgerald, Dirty Sexy Money
Question: I am really enjoying Dirty Sexy Money. I think the cast is amazing, and I love anything and everything that Greg Berlanti is attached to (I still miss Everwood). My one complaint is the storyline about how Brian treats his son, which I find cringeworthy and not funny in the least. I know this show is over-the-top and I appreciate that, but his behavior toward this boy is borderline verbally abusive. I actually fast-forward my TiVo through their scenes together. Is it just me needing to find my sense of humor, or is this actually a disturbing part of an otherwise fun show?
Answer: I'm liking Dirty Sexy Money, too, as I've recently noted. The problem with this subplot for me isn't so much that it's disturbing and cruel as that it's just so moronic for Brian to make his bastard child pretend to be an orphan. This show continuously walks a line between the sophisticated and the silly, and in this case, it goes too far over the top. That said, Glenn Fitzgerald's performance as

Gregory Smith by Jesse Grant/WireImage.com
OK, I know you're probably sick of me touting another episode of my Ausiello Report vodcast as "the best one ever," but this time it's really true. Seriously!Not only is it jam-packed with exclusive scoop — including news of a pivotal Grey's Anatomy character's return and a Nip/Tuck plot that's so gross I just had to reenact it — but it also features a live, in-studio visit from one of my all-time favorite Everwood peeps, the sorely missed Gregory Smith! Told ya: Best. Vodcast. Ever.Click here to watch, and then use that nifty white box below to tell me if it lived up to all the hype.

Ray Wise and Bret Harrison in Reaper by Michael Courtney/The CW
It took a year, but the CW (the network cobbled together from the ashes of the WB and UPN) is finally starting to look like a real network, albeit one aggressively and obsessively focused on the 18-34 youth market. Which no doubt is causing more than a few existential crises among those longtime vets of the TCA press tour who said goodbye to that demo a while ago.Dawn Ostroff, the network’s relentlessly perky entertainment president, took a “no regrets” approach to her upbeat presentation Friday morning. She’s serious about tapping into trends with her programming and with various online/digital offshoots (especially where the new teen soap Gossip Girl is concerned), but otherwise, there’s something kind of refreshing about a network that doesn’t take itself too seriously.There was loud laughter in the room during clips of the CW’s various lightweight reality shows, including a first look at the new twist on guilty-pleasure fave Beauty and the Geek...

Treat Williams, Heartland
Good ol’ Dr. Andy Brown is still putting people back together, only these days Treat Williams is specializing in cutting-edge transplants as Nathaniel Grant on TNT’s brand-new Heartland (Mondays at 10 pm/ET). TVGuide.com invited Williams to preview what’s ahead for his new surgeon, as well as reflect on Everwood’s unfortunate fate.
TVGuide.com: First off, let’s talk to the Everwood fans out there. What will they find familiar about your new doc, and what will they find different?Treat Williams: Hmm, that’s a good question. Not too much familiar, a lot different. This is the guy that Andy Brown probably was in New York, five years before he came to Everwood — very caught up in a very high-stress environmen
