Aren't you kind of glad ...
Question: Aren't you kind of glad Shonda Rhimes is such an "information Nazi?" At least now you can be surprised on at least one show, right? Answer: Don't you dare tell anyone I said this, but, yes, it is kinda nice. (Damn you, I asked you not to tell anyone!!!)
Scrubs prattle?
Question: Scrubs prattle?Answer: Major-ass prattle poop: Carla isn't the only one expecting.
I thought the April 4 episode ...
Question: I thought the April 4 episode of SVU was fantastic! Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni were amazing! What did you think of it? Answer: Honestly? I wanted to love it more than I did. The performances were (of course) stellar, but the whole thing felt a little… forced.
Does the choice Clark will ...
Question: Does the choice Clark will have to make in Smallville's season finale revolve around Chloe and her feelings for him?Answer: No. His choice is bigger than any one person.
I just read that Amy ...
Question: I just read that Amy Sherman-Palladino and her husband, Daniel, are not returning for next season's Gilmore Girls. Please tell me it's not true. My heart is breaking. She had a plan!Answer: Relax. Breathe. Read. No decision has been made either way. As I understand it, both sides — Team Palladino and Warner Bros. — are still trying to hash out a deal that would bring them back next fall for a seventh season. But I'd be lying if I told you there weren't some really scary moments yesterday. The situation is extremely fluid, but rest assured that the moment I have something definitive to report — no matter what the hour — I will post an update on The Ausiello Report. I am on thi

Question: OMG! Last week's Veronica Mars was so amazing! When Logan and Veronica slow-danced it was sooo cute! Answer: One of the best TV moments of the year.
Was Rose born with no arms ...
Question: Was Rose born with no arms and no legs? And when the plane crashed on the island she then sprouted them? Could that be what she has in common with Locke?Answer: I probably don't say this enough, but I seriously love you guys.
Are you going to be doing ...
Question: Are you going to be doing your Press Tour Diaries this year? They're the funniest blogs I have ever read. Answer: Despite an effort by certain members of the Television Critics Association to have the Diaries banned, I can assure you that they are slated to return for their fourth year at the summer tour in July. To be honest, it wasn't the blogs themselves that the TCA old guard objected to. They had a problem with us delivering them to their door every morning. Apparently, it was a little too in-your-face for their liking. As a result, this year we're discussing either doing a daily leaflet drop over the Ritz Carlton or hiring the cast of Mad TV to go room-to-room performing select passages. If that's not a fair compromise, I don't know what is.
Has your life finally gotten ...
Question: Has your life finally gotten back to normal after the craziness that ensued following your Veronica Mars appearance? Answer: Would you believe things are just now starting to calm down? Who knew two seconds of screen time would cause such mass hysteria? (Truth be told, I had my suspicions.) Meanwhile, with my episode of Next Food Network Star just four days away, my handlers are warning me to brace for another wave of insanity. Lemme tell you, this fame thing is exhausting.
How come you don't have a ...
Question: How come you don't have a message board where your fans can discuss stuff? Answer: Good things come to those who wait…. Until next Tuesday, when The Ausiello Report becomes an official 'round-the-clock blog!!!!!! (The crowd jumps to their feet and cheers!)
Will we finally find out what ...
Question: Will we finally find out what killed Mary Winchester in the Supernatural season finale? Answer: Yes, and it'll change Sam's life forever. Other spoilers from the May 4 finale: There is an exorcism in the opening act that gives the guys a lead on their missing father but spells big trouble for one of the brothers. And buckle up for safety — the final shot will redefine road rage.
Could you give me any news or ...
Question: Could you give me any news or spoilers about The Sopranos, please? Answer: According to the New York Daily News, Christopher (Michael Imperioli) will find love again in the arms of Third Watch's Cara Buono.
I am pretty sure it's you I ...
Question: I am pretty sure it's you I saw in the preview for the next episode of Next Food Network Star. Am I right? Who was your favorite? Answer: Yep, me and fellow TV Guiders Lisa Chambers, Matt Webb Mitovich and Carol Dittbrenner can be seen guest-grilling the final four contestants on this Sunday's show. We taped it back in November, so the only thing I remember is being blinded by Nathan's teeth and devouring about 16 of Carissa's shrimp puffs. I also recall thinking, "That Guy guy has this thing sewn up."
The characters of Luke and ...
Question: The characters of Luke and Lorelai have been trashed this season on Gilmore Girls, the romance has been broken, and the final image that we the fans will be left with over the summer hiatus is ******* in *** with *****. One hell of a plan you had, Amy Sherman-Palladino! Answer: I don't know what you want me to say. I agree, the show has been off its game this season. The whole April story line, which I was open to in theory, has been a disappointment. I also agree with all those who wrote in saying Lorelai is not the type of person who would sit idly by while Luke shut her out of his life. She would have spoken up long ago and demanded that April be a part of her life, too. If it makes you feel any better — and it probably won't — that scene is coming. In the season finale. Everything we've been wanting Lorelai to tell Luke these past four months finally comes out, and, from what I'm told, Lauren Graham knocks ano
For two weeks you said you ...
Question: For two weeks you said you would have some Criminal Minds scoop, but I have yet to see it. What gives? Answer: Sorry for the delay, but I didn't want to scoop the item I had running in this week's TV Guide, which went a little something like this: Think you're smarter than Mandy Patinkin? Here's your chance to prove it. In Criminal Minds' May 10 season finale, Patinkin and his fellow agents will find themselves at the mercy of a serial killer who leaves behind a series of coded clues and riddles — all of which lead them to a hostage. By the end of the episode, the team (and you guys) will have every clue they need to solve the case, and they'll have four months — until the second-season premiere in September — to do so. All of which brings me back to my original question: Think you're smarter than
Any news about Walt or ...
Question: Any news about Walt or Michael on Lost?Answer: Yes, big news. Michael will be getting a flashback episode on May 17, during which we'll learn what, um, Others stuff he's been up to these last couple of months. Whatever it is he's been doing, I understand we'll meet a very different Michael from the one we last knew. Walt will also be back, and yes, he'll still be played by Malcolm David Kelley, who is probably something like 24 years old now.
Please tell me I am having a ...
Question: Please tell me I am having a nightmare about the upcoming Gilmore Girls season finale. Why would ******* ***** **** ***********?Answer: Oh, that spoiler information. Well, all I have to say about that is this: ***** and *** don't necessarily mean the same thing. But if they do happen to mean the same in this instance, well, be afraid, Erin. Be very afraid.
Any hints as to who the death ...
Question: Any hints as to who the death is on CSI: Miami? Answer: No. I will tell you that all three CSI shows will be sending major characters to the hospital with life-threatening injuries in their respective season finales. And of the three patients, two are male and one is female. There, that's a hint.
How about some Big Love ...
Question: How about some Big Love scoop? Answer: Lots of drama coming up for the three wives. Nicki is going to face possible eviction from the compound when Bill discovers her not-so-little credit-card collection. Barb's "affair" will start to take an emotional toll. And those nosy neighbors are going to set up the increasingly isolated Margene on a blind date. There was something else I wanted to tell you, too. Oh, right, I remember: One of the guys on the show — close your eyes, Mandisa! — is gay.
So is Thumper's death the end ...
Question: So is Thumper's death the end of the whole "Who killed Felix?" story line on Veronica Mars? Answer: One can only hope. That whole thing confused the hell out of me.
OMG! Can't you give me a hint ...
Question: OMG! Can't you give me a hint as to who is expecting on Desperate Housewives? Answer: I can't because I don't know. I suspect it's either Susan or Lynette, because as I mentioned last week, I hear the mother-to-be does not take the news well.
