Jeff Goldblum

Jeff Goldblum is coming back to television (if the Screen Actors Guild doesn't go on strike)!

Chris Noth, most widely known for his turn as Mr. Big on Sex and the City, is leaving Law & Order: Criminal Intent after a three season run, and Goldblum is stepping in to fill the void. The show has been picked up for an eighth season of sixteen episodes (again, if the Screen Actors Guild doesn't go on strike).

According to an article released by MSN's TV News division a couple of weeks ago, the Law & Order creator, Dick Wolf,...

Much Ado about Katherine Heigl

I would be lying if I tried to say that Isaiah Washington's real world actions didn't affect the way I felt about his Grey's Anatomy character, Preston Burke. After reading about Isaiah Washington running around bad mouthing the Grey's Anatomy producers, it made it very hard for me to feel any sort of warm feelings for Preston Burke at all.

The same is not holding true for Katherine Heigl. Everybody is up in arms about her saying that the material she was given this last season wasn't Emmy worthy.

People, there was a writer's strike. Was anything that...

Long Before Lost

Dear JJ Abrams' Drooling Fans,

It didn't start with Lost.

Whenever you hear about anything new being produced by (or having anything to do with, really) JJ Abrams, it inevitably comes with the tagline "from the creator of Lost." Entertainment reporters talk about how sci-fi fans will flock to anything with JJ Abrams' name on it because he is the mastermind behind Lost.

Sure, Lost is a wildly popular show. In a television landscape of few hits and mostly misses, a show like Lost is a good one to be attached to. But…what about Felicity?

Felicity was JJ...

Desperate Housewives – But Are They Really Desperate?

After a hiatus due to the writers’ strike, Desperate Housewives is back. The antics of the women of Wisteria Lane continue with the usual angst, drama, and secrets. Although the last show before the break in episodes featured a major tornado striking Fairview, the show resumed with most of the debris cleared away and damage repaired.

I’ve watched the show since the first episode, and although I am glad to see the show return both to the ABC lineup and Sunday evening, I’ve...

Katie Couric Getting The Boot?

TV News, TV Personalities

An article in the NY Times suggested that Katie Couric may be a "lame duck" in her post as anchor of the "CBS Evening News". There appears to have been a meeting at CBS to discuss what Ms. Couric may do next. My questions to the world is: Does anyone care?? Since taking over in the slot about a year and a half ago, her ratings have gone straight down. Not a single person I know watches the evening news on any channel, so we are left with asking, does it matter if she goes or...
