Six Feet Under: TV Guide News

SIX FEET UNDER
20 photos
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.
  • What Emily in Marketing Is Watching | Today's News: Our Take | 1/16/2008
    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... read more
  • I just recently got into ... | Matt Roush | 10/19/2007
    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... read more
  • Peter Krause Is Over Under and Ready for Dirty Sexy Fun | Today's News: Our Take | 9/26/2007
    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... read more
  • Out of all of the Emmy snubs ... | Matt Roush | 7/27/2007
    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... read more
  • Sound Bites: Peter Krause on ABC's Dirty Sexy Money | Today's News: Our Take | 5/16/2007
    As part of a recent TVGuide.com Q&A, Peter Krause had this to say about ABC's Dirty Sexy Money:TVGuide.com: What are the chances of the show getting picked up in mid-May?Peter Krause: I have no idea, but I can't see how ABC would want to pass up the opportunity. I don't think there's any other show this year about a wealthy family like this. It harkens back to Dallas, Dynasty, Knots Landing, and, of course, it has a new twist. Craig Wright (Six Feet Under) wrote it and the cast is great... read more
  • Six Feet Under's Peter Krause Is Ready to Play Dirty | Today's News: Our Take | 5/4/2007
    For five critically acclaimed seasons, audiences knew Peter Krause as the troubled prodigal son who returned home to run his late father's mortuary on Six Feet Under. Since the HBO series concluded, the Minnesota native has been working on various projects, including Sci Fi's The Lost Room and the provocative thriller Civic Duty. Opening this weekend in limited release, the indie stars Krause as a recently laid-off accountant who begins to suspect that his new neighbor may be an Islamic... read more
  • FX and HBO are often compared ... | Matt Roush | 4/13/2007
    Question: FX and HBO are often compared because of their high-quality, risk-taking hour-long dramas. For the most part, I agree with every word of praise written about these shows. But I'm concerned about the one persistent flaw I've found in almost all of them, including The Sopranos, Rescue Me, Six Feet Under and The Shield: their Murphy's Law mentality, their fervent belief that honest drama begins with making characters unhappy and proceeds by making their lives increasingly worse. Joy,... read more
  • February 8, 2007: Dying Is Easy.... | TV Show Recaps | 2/9/2007
    So let’s start with the important stuff first. I am thrilled to report that all the bad facial hair in the ER has left the building (at least for the time being). The porn ‘stache is gone and the Stamos stubble is now a mere (five o’clock) shadow of its former self. The disturbance in the force has been resolved and now we can get back to focusing on important medical matters, like how ridiculously tall, dark and yummy Goran Visnjic is. (Oh, and you can be sure there will be more... read more
  • Dexter's No. 1 Gal — Julie Benz — Previews a Killer Finale | Today's News: Our Take | 12/15/2006
    The Ice Truck Killer, at long last, is definitively unmasked, yet on the loose. The race is now on for Dexter to suss out the serial slayer before our antihero's own sister becomes the latest victim. As Showtime prepares to premiere the freshman series' season finale, Sunday at 10 pm/ET, TVGuide.com spoke with Angel alumna Julie Benz about what's ahead, including a mystery of Rita's own that could prove to be boyfriend Dexter's next (severed) headache. TVGuide.com: I just finished... read more
  • December 12, 2006: Gala Gallardo (Season 4 Finale) | TV Show Recaps | 12/13/2006
    I don't know about you, but unlike last year's Carver-involved finale, I thoroughly enjoyed tonight's season finale and its ending with Christian surprisingly joining Sean in L.A. And I, of course, will tell you just why I enjoyed it:Bye-bye, Escobar, it's been nice knowing ya: I was overjoyed that Escobar was finally killed, and not by Liz. For a brief moment, I really thought Liz was going to pull the trigger. It would've been a good way to get revenge on the person responsible for her lack... read more
  • TV Guide Goes Inside Sci Fi's Magical, Mysterious Lost Room | Today's News: Our Take | 12/11/2006
    America loves it when an average Joe suddenly exhibits superpowers — witness the success of the Spider-Man movies and NBC's white-hot Heroes. Now Sci Fi Channel is taking that premise one crazy step further. In The Lost Room, a sprawling $20 million, six-hour miniseries (premiering tonight at 9 pm/ET), it's not the people who have amazing abilities, it's the simple, ordinary objects. There's a comb that stops time, a nail file that induces sleep, a pen that can microwave a body and... read more
  • In the Works: Sci Fi Revisits the Land of Oz | Today's News: Our Take | 11/22/2006
    Sci Fi Channel is producing Tin Man, a $19 million, six-hour miniseries that revisits The Wizard of Oz as a "relevant, modern and fresh" science-fiction fantasy. Per Variety, the update finds a young woman name DG plunged in a netherworld called the Outer Zone, where she meets up with Tin Man, a cowardly Wolverine-like creature, a sorceress named Azkadellia, and a larger-than-life entity called Mystic Man.... NBC has tapped Rick Cleveland (Six Feet Under) to bring the indie Thank You for... read more
  • Brothers & Sisters' Rachel Griffiths Revels in Her New Family Ties | Today's News: Our Take | 11/3/2006
    In a candid TV Guide interview, Brothers & Sisters' Rachel Griffiths reveals how she is so over Six Feet Under and so into motherhood. (Brothers & Sisters airs Sundays at 10 pm/ET, on ABC.) TV Guide: Brothers & Sisters is another series about a dysfunctional family. Does it feel familiar? Rachel Griffiths: It is kind of Six Feet Under meets Dynasty. TV Guide: How do you see your character, Sarah Whedon? Griffiths: She's really beautiful, really warm, really competent. Harvard... read more
  • October 19, 2006: Oh, the Guilt | TV Show Recaps | 10/20/2006
    As the episode's title hinted, overcoming guilt was certainly the ongoing theme tonight. The person most affected by her surrounding friends and fellow doctors was Izzie. My favorite two "Izzie influencers" were Burke and Webber. They both FTF'd her (Friends Tell Friends) — first Burke told her: "You quit. You quit being a surgeon. You have two good hands and you aren't using them. Feel guilty about that." And then I thought it was quite effective when Webber, trying to make Izzie feel... read more
  • September 21, 2006: Bloodline | TV Show Recaps | 9/28/2006
    Hey ER fans, better late than never, right? Thanks for your patience while we got the blog up and running. Thankfully, the 13th season of our venerable Thursday-night must-see kicked off right where the finale left off, with Jerry, Luka, Abby and Sam all in various states of peril. When we last saw Sam, she was being tossed into a van by Steve and his fellow prison escapee, Rafe. (For you Six Feet Under fans, Rafe was played by Michael Weston, the guy who brutalized David in a similarly creepy... read more
  • CBS Outbids Foes for Six Feet Scribe's Latest | Today's News: Our Take | 9/20/2006
    Per Variety, CBS has outbid at least two rival networks to land the next project from Six Feet Under writer-producer Kate Robin, an ensemble drama that (paging Daniel Benzali... ) will follow a single, high-profile court case over the course of one season. Now before you cry Murder One, Robin tells the trade, "The heart of the show is the personal lives of these very disparate characters" -- including lawyers on both sides, some of the jury, and the judge -- "who've been brought together by the... read more
  • I have a laundry list of ... | Matt Roush | 8/28/2006
    Question: I have a laundry list of questions about summer viewing: Is Life on Mars going to have a second season, or was it a one-off? (I'm scared to death of the American remake — I'm expecting Starsky & Hutch.) I was disappointed to hear about the bad ratings of Brotherhood — it's too good to be ignored. If there is no second season, will we be left hanging, or does the first series come to some sort of resolution? I know it's early, but what is the likelihood of Vanished making... read more
  • Julianna Margulies: From Scalpels to Snakes | Today's News: Our Take | 8/23/2006
    By now, we all know how the esteemed Samuel L. Jackson ultimately came face-to-face with those sinister (and box-office, title-worthy) Snakes on a Plane. But what is ER alumna Julianna Margulies doing flying the same deadly skies, as a flight attendant who, thankfully, proves handy with a fire axe? Again, it all ties back to her esteemed costar. "I got sent this script called Pacific Air 121 aka Snakes on a Plane, with a cover letter that said Samuel L. Jackson is attached," Margulies... read more
  • Evil Prez Explains Her Prison Break | Today's News: Our Take | 7/24/2006
    Patricia Wettig now has something in common with 24 alum Dennis Haysbert (currently on CBS' The Unit) — neither of them are any longer playing the president of the United States for Fox. While Wettig's Prison Break character, the crafty Caroline Reynolds, was set to play the leader of the free world in the show's sophomore season, the actress — who wasn't under contract to the Fox drama — opted instead to accept a role on B read more
  • Your Father's Emmy
    Listen up, TV Academy, we've got a plan to set things right | Stephen Battaglio | 7/13/2006
    A new and improved selection process for the 2006 Emmy Awards was supposed to pump some new blood into the nominees. Instead, we got more kudos for The West Wing, Will & Grace and Six Feet Under. There were some inexplicable snubs as well — what's House (nominated for outstanding drama series) without Hugh Laurie (the most glaring omission from the acting categories)? But if the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is serious about getting some new faces on read more
