Ask Matt: Game of Thrones, Enlisted, Mindy, Salem, Good Wife
Send questions and comments to askmatt@tvguidemagazine.com and follow me on Twitter! Question: I love Game of Thrones. I think it is so ambitious, unique, well-acted and produced. My one issue is the time allotted for the ever-engrossing and expanding cast. If they follow the books at all, the cast would grow even more. How successful does a show have to be for HBO to consider making either more episodes per season or having longer episodes per season? It's not network TV so they don't have commercial considerations to fight against. Every year and week anymore, it seems like GOT is breaking some record in viewers. Always the most pirated show. Don't have a clue about DVD sales. Just seems to me that we are starting to and will continue to lose something from this show by only getting five minutes with each character. It's like by the time I'm really enjoying it, the episode is ending. Is adding to episode orders or time something that is possible or discussed? Would be such a shame if they didn't continue on a brilliant adaptation. And I would think this show makes HBO money and a lot of it. If it didn't, I would understand how my idea would be the stuff of grumpkins. — Trenton
Ask Matt: Hannibal Revisionism, Race Redemption, Blacklist In-Joke, and More
Send questions and comments to askmatt@tvguidemagazine.com and follow me on Twitter! Question: I've been enjoying the insights into the early Hannibal Lecter and Norman Bates on Hannibal and Bates Motel. I know that both shows are just based on the original works and can certainly invent stories for the characters. However, I expect the TV series to at least honor the future stories that we're so familiar with. What I mean: Bates Motel is terrific at bringing young Norman along where we can understand the Norman in Psycho and how he got that way. The taxidermy and now the blackouts are both critical, as is the relationship with Mother. However, I was very upset that they killed off Dr. Chilton in Hannibal since he is an important character in the novels. We can accept that what we see in Jack, Will, Bloom, Lounds, etc. are consistent (genders aside) with what we see later in Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs. But now, there is no place for Chilton in the future stories. Am I out of line and the only one who has complained? — Jerome
Thursday Review: Bad Teacher, Black Box, Hulu's Moone Boy
A week ago, I was raving about FX's inspired reinvention of Fargo from movie to TV series. But this week, we get a cautionary reminder that there are movies that just shouldn't be adapted for TV. Case in point: CBS's head-of-no-class version of 2011's Bad Teacher (Thursday, 9:30/8:30c) that flunks basic lessons of chemistry — starting with...

The Talk's Sara Gilbert Has a New Book, a New Sitcom and a Shocking Secret!
For someone who calls herself a "reluctant celebrity," Sara Gilbert sure is everywhere! On Monday, Sept. 9, she kicks off Season 4 of The Talk — the hit CBS gabathon she created — and that same day she starts work as a regular on the new CBS midseason sitcom Bad Teacher, based on the randy Cameron Diaz flick. Plus she just put out a book, The Imperfect Environmentalist (Ballantine), a guide to saving the Earth without driving yourself nuts. TV Guide Magazine spoke with Gilbert about her perfectly imperfect life.
