For as much drama as HBO's 'The Newsroom' creates around Jeff Daniels' Will McAvoy and his supporting players, it's easy to forget that the show roots itself in real-life news events by keeping a timeline several months behind our own. Previously, we'd heard of a few guest stars joining the second season of HBO's buzzy Aaron Sorkin drama, but the latest confirms that former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney will play a large role in season 2! So, are you ready to meet our new recurring cast member, a link to the famous one-percenter?
When the youngest star of a mega-hit CBS sitcom finds religion and derides the show as "filth," prompting its previously-ousted lead to label the show "cursed," it might be time for 'Two and a Half Men' to call it a day. Following series star Angus T. Jones' now-infamous rant against the series, the inevitable has happened and disgraced 'Men' star Charlie Sheen has decided to throw in his two cents. Could 'Two and a Half Men' really be "cursed?'
While we make no personal habit of watching CBS' decade-long powerhouse 'Two and a Half Men,' there's no denying the absurd amount of popularity the former Charlie Sheen-fronted series has achieved in its day. That popularity hasn't always come easily, as recent years saw controversy with series star Charlie Sheen and creator Chuck Lorre explode into the media, but now it seems an all-new development with series star Angus T. Jones has stoked the fires all over again. Could Jones' new-found proclamation of religion put an end to 'Two and a Half Men?'
While AMC's 'The Walking Dead' has certainly never been light on casualties, recent episode "Killer Within" took quite a toll on Rick Grimes' group of survivors, seemingly shuffling off the mortal coils of Rick's wife Lori, fan-favorite T-Dog, and the scrappy Carol. However, might there be a bit of hope on the horizon? Of the three survivors believed to been killed in the episode, only one's body was ever fully recovered! The latest photos from this Sunday's "Hounded" might just crack the case!
With 'Lincoln' set to sweep the awards, and every historical figure this side of Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci being reimagined as crime-fighting sexy action heroes, sooner or later these things were bound to meet in the middle. Next up for the untold story angle, courtesy of NBC and director Barry Levinson is...is America's first president himself, George Washington! But will 'George Washington' re-imagine the man for modern audiences, or stick to the real story?
Whoever said America's country music kick didn't have staying power? While we wait for ABC to shore up its big-ticket freshman dramas 'Last Resort' and '666 Park Avenue,' the network has gone ahead with upping country drama sensation 'Nashville' to a full-season order. Meanwhile, the network has offered an additional display of faith in Tim Allen's 'Last Man Standing,' and even rookie Reba McEntire sitcom 'Malibu Country,' but how long until a final decision is made?
For all the gloom and doom of the recent 'Walking Dead' episodes, full of heartbreaking character deaths, isn't about time someone found a bit of happiness? Even if that happiness might be soul-shatteringly awkward for fans of the comic book series? Looks like we're about to find out, as a new clip from the next all-new 'The Walking Dead' episode "Hounded" confirms a long-hinted romance, but is their any way the new coupling won't end in disaster?
To those of you snickering 'Archer' jokes at that headline, we salute you. But nonetheless, Rick Grimes has quite a bit to rampgage about after the shocking, and heartbreaking episode of 'The Walking Dead' that capped off this Sunday, the extra-visceral "Killer Within." Rick didn't seems to be doing to well by episode's end, so how will he deal with his emotions in next week's "Say the Word?" And what sinister threat has Michonne discovered in the latest clip?
While 'The Hangover' franchise has long-since moved on from writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, and will supposedly conclude after the upcoming third installment, TV continues to be a thriving medium that attracts more and more film talent. Case in point with the eponymous writers, who will next take their talents toward a head-spinning ABC sitcom, perhaps even more difficult-to-put-together than 'The Hangover' itself? So what's the big twist around 'Mixology,' and when can we expect to see it?
In the past, we've heard about networks passing up some great dramas now and again, like when 'Breaking Bad' almost went to FX, before landing on AMC as the Emmy-winning bad-ass drama we all know it to be. But did you know that before AMC scored even bigger with Robert Kirkman's 'The Walking Dead,' HBO and NBC were in the market for the zombie-thriller as well? What made them pass on something that's become such a cultural phenomeon?
For a series with such a specific title as 'How I Met Your Mother,' the series has gone above and beyond these last eight years to tell a wealth of stories at times completely unrelated to the titular mother's identity. Still, with a ninth season of the show still yet to be locked down, the current may prove to be the last, meaning we'll meet her fairly soon! The big question is, who could play such a long-hyped role, and what does series star Josh Radnor have to say about it?
'Falling Skies' may have death, destruction and multiple alien races descending from the heavens on a weekly basis, but it only needs go as far as '7th Heaven' to find the President of the United States! Former TV dad Stephen Collins has been tapped to play the alien invasion drama's erstwhile Commander-in-Chief for the TNT drama's third season, having managed to survive the world's destruction and with a new purpose in mind for the 2nd Massachusetts. What might the former leader of the free world want, and how does he go about recruiting Tom Mason?
