Exclusive Video: Does Fringe's Viral Link Unlock a New Alt-Verse?

OK, Fringe fans, did you crack the code? We posted the crazy fourth trailer for the April 20 episode, "Letters of Transit," yesterday and let you know it was embedded with the last clue to a secret URL for a fifth and final clip (other hints were buried in the three previously released trailers). Now we have the complete link and, surprise, surprise, it's not for another trailer at all. It's actually the opening credits to the highly anticipated 19th episode, which jumps out of Fringe's already out-there timeline for a futuristic tale guest starring...

Watercooler: Cougar Town's Got the Write Stuff

Check it out. ABC aired Cougar Town two weeks in a row! It's almost like a real-live show instead of "that thing that gets bumped at the drop of a DWTS recap special"! If it airs next week, we'll be tickling miniseries territory. Snarkasm aside, the episode last night was yet another proof that the network needs to do better by this show. If only so...

Fringe's Freaky Fourth Trailer Revealed!

Serve. Obey. Heed. No Hope. We're guessing Fringe is trying to say something and it's not just "Hey, Fox, renew us already!" Nope, this is all about #April20thIsTheNineteenth, the viral campaign centered on Friday's episode — the 19th of the season, which has traditionally been Fringe's craziest hour each year. Over the last few weeks, three mind-boggling and super mysterious trailers have hit the interwebs filled with shaky clips from the Observer-iffic, future-set "Letters of Transit" and embedded with clues to a URL that will link fans to a final video that's sure to shake whatever universe you're watching from. But the collection is incomplete, folks... until now.

First Look: Teen Wolf Packs In Excitement for Season 2

Full moon? It's more like full swoon with this exclusive first look at key art from Teen Wolf's second season. Set to premiere in early June, MTV's funny, sexy, scary and all-around addictive reboot of the campy film franchise looks to have even more bite this time around, especially now that Scott McCall has embraced his inner lycan.

Watercooler: John Noble...the Best of Both Fringe Worlds

Dear Academy of Television Arts & Sciences voters, Please go watch Friday night's Fringe and explain to us exactly how John Noble doesn't have an Emmy, much less a single nomination. Shame on you. Undeniably the awesome emotional center of Fox's sci-fi series, Noble doubled our pleasure last week when he took his tripped-out, socially inappropriate Dr. Walter Bishop across the universe (hashtag alert!)

Watercooler: Should SVU Revisit Its Past?

Oh damn, Olivia. Look what fresh hell you have wrought! If you didn't see Law & Order: Special Victims Unit last night, you missed a major turn of events that could give the series a whole new coat of pain. After realizing that she'd coerced a confession out an innocent man for a Fleet Week rape and torture eight years prior, Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and the squad had to scramble not just to catch the real culprit, they also had to exonerate the...

For a day of rest, Sundays sure are exhausting. Not that we're complaining, but good Lord!

Watercooler: In Praise of the New New Girl

Whoo whoo! We are loving the new Jess! When New Girl started, Fox's favorite misfit roomie was totally adorable (not gonna use that other word), but pretty odd. Like "socially stunted" weird. The kind of klutzy, sexually reversed freakish oddity who could only exist in hipster-porn fan-fic and on TV. And even there, her shelf-life seemed limited. How on Earth could we invest long-term in unicorn-flavored pin-up who was a just a few animated pixels away from being a Pixar creation?

Adam Pally On Happy Endings' Season Finale and Other Messed-Up Stuff

It's the end of the season for Happy Endings tonight (9:31/8:31c, ABC) and that makes us anything but happy. We're gonna miss this gang of Chicago pals who talk really fast, abbreviate like champs and use ancient Serbian memory-erasing techniques on one another. But before they go, we grabbed a few minutes with Adam Pally, whose Max is easily the greatest gay character on TV right now, to talk about the season finale, Madonna tunes and why his tattoo may strike a chord with a certain criminal element. Because when you have someone as hilarious as Pally, these are the things that must be addressed...

About. Damn. Time!After what's felt like the longest dramatic foreplay since Sam and Diane (if you don't get that, Google them), Gossip Girl's Blair and Dan finally got it on last night.

Giuliana & Bill... and the C-Word

Reality TV doesn't get any more real — or important — than this. In tonight's fifth-season premiere of Style Network's Giuliana & Bill, original Apprentice winner Bill Rancic and his bride, E! News host Giuliana Rancic, share the terror, tears and challenges that came from her recent battle with breast cancer. It's a brutal but ultimately inspiring hour that shows exactly how strong love, laughter and a lot bravery can be in the face of a disease that touches so many lives.
