It's the beginning of the end of TGS as 30 Rock kicks off its seventh and final season tonight on NBC (8/7c). "I feel like I want it to be happy for these people and how they end up," says creator and star Tina Fey, who gave TV Guide Magazine the scoop on what to expect before the big goodbye...
Spoiler Alert! Do not read this interview with Warehouse 13 executive producer Jack Kenny until you have watched last night's mid-season finale. Or deal with the spoilers and don't blame us.
There may be ice water running through her veins, but Ellen Barkin's Jane is one hot mama — or maybe that's hot Nana — in tonight's The New Normal (NBC, 9:30/8:30c). It all starts in this exclusive first-look clip when Goldie's granny is approached by a vitamin salesman who goes from stranger to one-night-stand faster than you can say "that woman is a bigoted Republican homophobe." (And if you think their first meeting is prickly, just wait until you see what effect the fella has on Jane once they hit the sheets!)
"I am a Disney geek!" proclaims Ginnifer Goodwin, and apparently her fondness for the House of the Mouse isn't just because she plays Snow White on Once Upon a Time. Not only does Goodwin say she visits Disneyland with her animator sister "at least every other month," she's always felt a kinship with the more royal residents of the Disney universe. "My biggest dream, for the past 33 years, was to play a Disney princess," she confesses. Now that the stunner has scored that long-sought gig on ABC's hit drama, Goodwin makes for the perfect pick to host the additional features on the Cinderella: Diamond Edition release (out Tuesday) on DVD and Blu-ray.
It's the final frontier for the Fringe Division, as the sci-fi drama heads to the future to wrap up its run. "It's a truck to the end," says exec producer J.H. Wyman of the show's 13-episode farewell fifth season, which will pick up in the Observer-overrun year 2036 we first saw in last spring's "Letters of Transit" episode.
In eight days, the final season of Fringe will officially begin and as much as we hate to say that, we are loving the look of the end run's key promotional art. Taking a huge leap from its past campaigns — and reflecting the show's equally huge leap to 2036 — the grittier, Banksy-like images of Observer-battling rebels Peter, Olivia and Walter sprayed on a wall as the fedora-sporting bald wonders walk by pretty much screams that we are in for a wild ride. And for those of you needing a refresher on the why our team needs to "fight for the future," last season's epic "Letters of Transit" episode will be rearing on Fox this Saturday night at 11/10c.
She may be the most clueless mother on TV, but Cheryl Hines' Dallas Royce is such a hoot that we can see beyond the tacky outfits and terrible parenting she displays on Suburgatory. And clearly, so can her coworkers! In this clip from the extras on the ABC comedy's Season 1 DVD release (now on sale), Jeremy Sisto speaks the truth about everyone's favorite leopard-favoring neighbor...
The Mentalist isn't just about a hot dude with a lot of vests and a savvy Spidey sense. Patrick Jane also has a killer team in his corner and there is much fun to be had watching the CBI's inter-office antics. In the clip from "The Brotherhood" extra on the show's fourth season DVD release (now on sale), Simon Baker and his colleagues share their takes on the gallows humor that keeps their characters from cracking under the pressure of a seriously twisted job.
The battle to become "the new Rachel" began last night in Glee's season premiere, but even though Artie declared Blaine to be the winner of the "Call Me Maybe" showdown, that doesn't mean New Directions has locked in its star performer just yet. "Blaine...
Mystic Falls fans, you're gonna want to see this. When The Vampire Diaries' third season hits DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, Sept. 11, we're getting some juicy insights into why Stefan went so dark last year. In one of the extras, entitled "Stefan's Descent into Darkness," both executive producer Julie Plec and star Paul Wesley discuss taking the character from Elena's lovey-dovey, plasma-denying beau to cold-blooded S.O.B. And it turns out, the idea to jerkify the guy was Wesley's! Sort of.
Over the course of 30 Rock's run, we've met most of TGS' extended family: Tracy's wife, Jack's brawling siblings and Donaghy matriarch Colleen, Liz's folks and stunted brother, Jenna's mom, even Lutz's look-alike mother. But the one (albeit murky) bloodline that has eluded fans so far has been the kin of hillbilly page-turned-janitor Kenneth Parcell (Jack McBrayer). But no more!
He's been voted Wired magazine's sexiest geek, his YouTube channels regularly draw more viewers than certain broadcast networks and he's close chums with Sharkzilla. He's Internet celeb Phil DeFranco, and he's hosting Shark Week's 25 Best Bites countdown Thursday (10/9c, Discovery). So we tossed out a few questions to him about the finned wonders being featured in the 25th anniversary special and guess what? He took the bait!
Mark your calendars and start your plotting, Revenge fans. The hit soap's first season comes out on DVD on Tuesday, Aug. 21 and we have your first look at one of the set's extras: Interviews with stars Emily VanCamp and Madeleine Stowe in which they discuss the similarities between their characters. Pulled from the feature "Roadmap to Revenge," this clip catches the ladies laying out how both Emily Thorne and Victoria Grayson share an unhealthy love of lying and, in Stowe's words, "dark thoughts." One thing they don't get around to discussing, however, are...
That face. That smile. That...bastard! Of the guys who have made trouble in Rosewood, Pretty Little Liars' Noel Kahn is clearly one of the most twisted. And Tuesday night (8/7c, ABC Family), after too many weeks missing from the fun, he's back to stir the pot even more. So we grabbed some time with Brant Daugherty to discuss the weightiest of matters — crazy Mona, romance and when fans will get to see Noel a little more nekkid.
"Oh. My. God. Those are the only words I have for this episode," teases Ashley Benson, whose Hanna is clearly having a rough time at Rosewood's latest crime scene in Pretty Little Liars' August 28 mid-season finale. Where is Emily? And why are the cops so interested in talking to Paige (Lindsey Shaw)? All Benson offers is that "people get hurt...there might even be a...
The CW's Arrow hasn't even premiered yet, and already his list of DC Universe enemies is growing. First, fans saw a peek of Deathstroke's mask in the pilot screened at this summer's Comic-Con in San Diego, followed soon after by the announcement during the show's panel that Kelly Hu would be playing drug-cartel badass China White in the second episode. And now, TV Guide Magazine can exclusively report that...
CODE NAME Season 3. INTEL Hot on the Louboutin heels of her first kill at the end of last season, jet-setting CIA agent Annie Walker's world is blown apart by a federal-level shocker that makes other so-called "game changers" look like local government PR stunts. Yes, someone dies. In a horrible way. "We owe it to the audience to remind them from time to time that there is real jeopardy here," says executive producer Matt Corman of the July 10 jaw-dropping season opener. "Working as a CIA operative has real stakes." It also has perks: So far, production has taken the cast to Morocco, Puerto Rico and Barcelona, and "we have Moscow and the Dominican Republic planned," says Corman's fellow exec producer Chris Ord. "We're hoping to do Dubai. It's a spy show; people expect to go abroad, and that we are able to is really exciting." THE MISSION Top secret! As...
Usually, the secretary of state keeps company with foreign dignitaries in exotic, far-flung locales, not Teamsters in the shell of a business park by the Philadelphia International Airport. Then again, this Madame Secretary has saved the planet from some really illegal aliens before taking office, so who are we to judge? As Political Animals' former First Lady-turned-Secretary of State Elaine Barrish Hammond, Sigourney Weaver is back in badass form, only on a civic-duty level rather than a sci-fi one. And although she has three names and a philandering ex-husband, Elaine is not based on you-know-who. "I had to get over the slight feeling of, 'Oh, it's Hillary,' which she really isn't," says Weaver, citing inspiration from countless women in power, including a childhood headmistress and...
It's getting closer to the end of Design Star, and last night the remaining contestants faced someone familiar to fans of the show: last season's champ, Meg Caswell. Having braved a return to the series that put her on the HGTV map to judge a color-themed challenge that played out on the set of The Talk, the peppy host of Meg's Great Rooms gave us some great insight into the finalists...and which one she would love to go up against.
Got Fourth of July plans? We'll pencil in America's Lost Treasures (Wednesday, 9/8c, National Geographic Channel), folks. A cross between Antiques Roadshow and the high-school history class you skipped one too many times, the fascinating competition from Deadliest Catch executive producer Thom Beers features hosts Kinga Phillips and Curt Doussett as they scour the country for some seriously important artifacts worthy of being displayed in the National Geographic Museum in Washington, D.C.
Design Star's remaining finalists get served Tuesday (9/8c, HGTV) when they are tasked with taking on a kitchen renovation...and it seems like some of them can't stand the heat. So we asked the episode's guest judges, Kitchen Cousins hosts Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri, for their take on tonight's challenge, and grilled them about being named two of TV Guide Magazine's hottest handymen...
She may have shut off her black light, but former CSI star Marg Helgenberger is still a pro at giving rooms the once over. Last night, the woman who made DNA evidence sexy as Catherine Willows on CBS' hit drama popped in to inspect the work of Design Star's remaining contestants as they created lavish party suites in honor of Hollywood's 125th birthday. And even though they were a far cry from crime scenes, we still saw this as a grand chance to interrogate Helgenberger anyway!
