The 13 Most Shocking TV Deaths

We really should've known better. We waited two weeks for Brothers & Sisters' "shocking death," when all along we should have realized that what the network had been teasing for weeks (months even, among insiders) in the end wasn't all that shocking — especially when it didn't even really happen.

Oh well, maybe we're all patsies. But to make ourselves feel better, after the jump are the TV deaths that actually delivered a gutshot and had us talking about a character's demise the next day — for all the right reasons.  read full article

What Emily in Marketing Is Watching

As the writers' strike drags on, I seem to find no shortage of old and current shows to catch up on. If you really stop and think about it, there are hundreds of quality television series that have been produced over the years, and I don't care how much TV you watch, no one has time to catch them all! To start with, I have been mixing some oldies with some newbies and have also revisiting some of my personal old faves. My DVR is getting a workout and I am finally starting to utilize the video functionality of my iPod. Isn't technology great? Here are just a few of the shows I am watching and how I am consuming them. 1) Six Feet Under on NetflixWhile Netflixing a long-running series with many DVDs takes a considerable amount of time, it's a smaller investment than buying the DVDs, at least until I figure out if I'm going to stick with it. And then if I decide to buy, each season is only $19.99 right now on Amazon.com. 2) Weeds on iTunesI received a lot of iTunes gift cards for Chris... read more

I just recently got into ...

Question: I just recently got into Showtime's Brotherhood and I have to say, I am totally loving it. The whole cast is great, the stories are interesting, and I'm glad Showtime had faith to keep it going after subpar viewership. I should be caught up soon to start Season 2. In another recent addition to my list, I found Dexter this summer and was equally blown away. Michael C. Hall has found another terrific drama after Six Feet Under; I can't wait for what's in store for Dex this year. Add in the sexy yet funny Californication (and hopefully The Tudors, which is next on my list) and Showtime is really on a roll. Do you think Showtime is surpassing HBO in terms of quality and "buzz" programs, now that The Sopranos and other flagship series are gone? And what new projects are currently in development for Showtime? 'Cause I know I will be watching. Thanks. Answer: And you left out Weeds, which has been pretty sensational again this season. Yes, I think it's fair to say that Showtime is ... read more

Peter Krause Is Over Under and Ready for Dirty Sexy Fun

Peter Krause is ready to get dirty. Not dirt as in a funeral plot, but as in scandals of the rich and famous. On ABC's Dirty Sexy Money, premiering tonight at 10 pm/ET, the Six Feet Under and Sports Night alum plays Nick George, a high-powered legal eagle who, begrudgingly, inherits his suspiciously passed-on father's role as consigliere to the Darlings of New York City. Headed up by Donald Sutherland and Jill Clayburgh, the ultra-affluent clan is littered by all manner of bad-seed offspring (and parents), giving Nick plenty to manage, spin-control and nip in the bud. Krause shared a sneak peek at the good 'n' dirty 'n' sexy times ahead. TVGuide.com: This is a r read more

Out of all of the Emmy snubs ...

Question: Out of all of the Emmy snubs this year, to me the most egregious were of Showtime's groundbreaking, genre-bending Dexter and Michael C. Hall, the brilliant actor who brings the disturbed title character to life. Not only was it the best performance of this TV season, but I can't picture anyone else conveying Dexter's subtle emotional arc while remaining true to both his monsterish and darkly comedic tendencies. When you stop to think that this is the man who played David Fisher on Six Feet Under, the accomplishment of his transformation here is even more stunning. Do you think the Emmys will ever appreciate this vastly underrated actor? Answer: He was nominated for a 2002 Emmy during the run of Six Feet Under, so at least he's on the radar. But yes, this was one of the more shocking oversights. The most common explanation I heard from people, including a few Showtime execs, was that this macabre show is just too "out there" for the Academy membership, many of whom are of an ... read more

Premise: Life---and death---at a family-owned funeral home in Los Angeles plays out in this provocative, at times macabre series created by Oscar-winning screenwriter Alan Ball (`American Beauty'). A recipient of several Emmys, it's a compelling, superbly acted drama laced with considerable wit and poignancy. Each episode begins with a fresh corpse (including the clan's patriarch in the premiere), which usually has something to do with the ongoing dysfunction in and around the Fisher household.
