  • A New Lease on Life | Roush Dispatch | 11/14/2007
    I’m still not convinced that NBC’s Life is a great series, but tonight’s episode (Nov. 13) is the best I’ve seen to date of a show that has toned down some of the elements that irritated me when it premiered. Detective Charlie Crews (the charismatic Damian Lewis), who is still trying to unravel the circumstances of the unjust murder conviction that kept him behind bars for 12 years, remains something of an acquired taste. But he is indulging his quirks (spouting Zen... read more
  • Heroes Preview: Dana Davis' Monica Is One Cool (Copy)cat! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/22/2007
    Yes, some of the many (many) Heroes newbies aren't quite yet dazzling us with their different-ness. But Dana Davis' Monica, introduced last week, perhaps boasts one of the coolest powers of the season: By merely witnessing an actor or talent, she can mimic it near-instantly. TVGuide.com invited the alumna of ABC's tragically truncated The Nine to preview what's to come for her plucky New Orleans heroine. TVGuide.com: Having done the short-lived The Nine and Point Pleasant, were you nervous ... read more
  • The Push Worked for Daisies | Roush Dispatch | 10/4/2007
    The early ratings are in, and it looks like the combination of aggressive promotion and laudatory media buzz paid off for the first round of ABC’s delightful Pushing Daisies, which handily won its time period Wednesday and is off to a solid start. Honestly, though, if any of the reality alternatives had prevailed (especially CBS’s snooze-inducing Kid Nation and the is-that-still-on stupid briefcase show over on NBC), I think I’d be wearing a black armband in to work for the rest... read more
  • Private Practice Preview: Great Expectations Scare Tim Daly | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/23/2007
    ABC's Private Practice premieres in three days. TVGuide.com is counting down to the Grey's spin-off's arrival with daily cast-member Q&As. Women across the country swooned when Pete Wilder planted a wet one on Addison last season. Now the good doc is flirting up a storm with America's favorite redhead as a hunky herbalist on Private Practice. We caught up with actor Tim Daly on a rare day off from the Oceanside Wellness Group. Here, he reveals the real reason ABC cancelled The Nine, why he ... read more
  • 24 Plus Nine Star and D.C. Setting Equals...? | Today's News: Our Take | 8/31/2007
    John Billingsley, formerly of The Nine as well as Fox's own Prison Break, has been added to the Season 7 cast of 24 in the recurring role of "Latham." No other details on the character have been disclosed, however. Also, says the Reporter, Jeffrey Nordling (a recurring player on Dirt) has landed a series-regular gig on 24 as an FBI agent named Larry. The coming season of 24 will largely be set in Washington, D.C., says the trade.PS to fans of The Nine: If the season/series finale, which broke... read more
  • Fans of The Nine: Got Burning Questions? | TV Matt'rs | 8/31/2007
    The "final" episode of ABC's The Nine was scheduled to break online Thursday, Aug. 30 (at ABC.com). If the non-finale finale left you with with any "burning questions" about the serialized drama — and I have to think it did — share them here and I may, just may, be able to track down the closure you crave. read more

    Did anyone out there in TV land watch the Spike TV miniseries The Kill Point? I loved it and was hoping there would be talk about it but can't find anything. I guess I'm the only one who saw it! read more
  • Finales: Big Love, Army Wives, Kill Point | Roush Dispatch | 8/27/2007
    Sundays are seldom as busy during the regular TV season as was the case this weekend, with season and series finales all over cable. So much for summer being the sleepy season. If you'd been watching any of these shows this summer, you wouldn't have wanted to miss the payoffs.Big Love: So much drama and trauma on HBO's increasingly addictive domestic melodrama about a family man and the three wives who alternately adore and tolerate his whims, schemes and transgressions. One reason I love the... read more
  • Ask Matt | 8/27/2007
    It seems that ABC's plan to burn off the unaired episodes of Knights of Prosperity and The Nine in August flatlined after just one Wednesday night. By the second week, they'd replaced the shows with According to Jim and Primetime repeats. Now, I'm a realist about the business side's effect on the artistic side, and I understand that a loyal, vocal online fan base represents but the tiniest fraction of the viewing audience, but in the case of Knights, there were only two episodes left ? just 60... read more
  • Ask Matt | 8/17/2007
    Please tell me that there are at least some rumors flying around about a possible renewal of the ABC show Traveler. From what I've heard online, this show has a huge following despite the Nielsen ratings. ABC did Traveler a great disservice by airing it in a 10 pm timeslot during the summer, following two reality shows. Traveler has action, suspense and all-around great acting. It's an intelligent show that appeals to all age groups. I can't believe ABC is canning it after only eight episodes,... read more
  • The Nine's Lives Are Up as Final Eps Move to ABC.com | Today's News: Our Take | 8/16/2007
    What happened in there? How about, "What's happening in the ABC programming department?" The poor and the beleaguered The Nine has been pulled from the Alphabet net's schedule, leaving the final four episodes to see the light of day (or at least the light of that crappy lamp in your home office) at ABC.com. Episodes 8 and 9 are already online, with 10 and 11 due imminently. Episode 12 will post Aug. 23, and the series finale goes up Aug. 30. A tiny ray of light at the end of this dark tunnel:... read more
  • A Push for Pushing Daisies | Roush Dispatch | 7/26/2007
    Could the third time be the charm? Being an eternal optimist when it comes to TV shows I love, I certainly hope so. For the third season in a row, the show I’ve picked as my favorite pilot of the fall season is on ABC, and once again, after two consecutive seasons of my pick failing to make the grade, this show’s projected success is far from a slam dunk. But let me tell you why I believe, despite all logical skepticism to the contrary, that the dazzling “forensic fairy... read more
  • ABC Redials The Nine as Traveler Hits the Road | Today's News: Our Take | 7/6/2007
    This Wednesday and next, ABC's underappreciated Traveler presents its final two episodes — and, yes, we do mean final, as series creator David DiGilio details in his TVGuide.com celebrity blog update. "We have sadly reached the point where our show is most likely not coming back," he writes. "ABC has officially let our cast contracts lapse." Read more about it here. Excellent blog entry.In keeping with that "Circle of Life" thing I hear about in my kids' Lion King DVD, shortly after... read more

  • Anatomy of a Spin-off: A Rocky Start | Roush Dispatch | 5/4/2007
    Watching Thursday night's underwhelming, overly frenetic "backdoor pilot" setup for the seemingly inevitable Grey's Anatomy spin-off, I was reminded how blown away I wasn't by the original Grey's pilot as well. The Grey's pilot had its problems, but this glossy new twist on the formula seems much more problematic.When Grey's first appeared, with the pilot held for mid-season in a year when Lost and Desperate Housewives exploded on the scene and turned ABC's fortunes around, my initial thoughts... read more
  • May 3, 2007: The Other Side of This Life | Grey's Anatomy | 5/4/2007
    Raise your hand if you're already hooked. Shonda, you have just sold me on Grey's 2.0, or what you are currently planning on calling it: Private Practice. I can't imagine ABC not picking the show up for the fall. To make this easier for me to write, but more importantly, to give it a more reader-friendly approach, I'd like to split this in two. I'll get to my comments on the very well-executed Kate Walsh pilot later. First, let's talk about Grey's...I. GREY'S ANATOMYWhen I heard that Meredith... read more
  • Grading My Fall 2006 Forecast: How Did I Do? | TV Matt'rs | 4/26/2007
    Two of my first Trivial Matt'rs blogs were dedicated to my early thoughts on the 2006-07 TV season, and at long last I have a few minutes here to revisit that "forecast" and see how I did. This is literally the first time I have looked back at those blogs, so here we go.Brothers & SistersI said: "Expectations were modest" given "foreboding backstage shuffles," but "by the end I was pulled in."

    John Billingsley, most recently seen on The Nine and perhaps best known as Star Trek: Enterprise's Dr. Phlox, will guest on the May 1 episode of CBS' NCIS. He'll play a visually impaired photographer with an acute sense of smell whom the NCIS team enlists to help solve the case of a deceased petty officer who shows up in one of the shutterbug's recent pictures.In other casting news involving actors from shows with numbers in the title, a 90210er and a Party of Fiver are Medium-bound.
