As intriguing as it was to see acclaimed comedian Louis C.K. take on 'SNL' hosting duties for the first time a few weeks back, fans of the comic's FX series 'Louie' still lament the fact that the show's fourth season had been pushed all the way back to 2014. So, what better way to get our Louis C.K. TV fix than with an all-new HBO stand-up special in 2013? Will it prove just as award-winning as his last show?
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?
Like “Rubber Man” before him, “Bloody Face” has captured the frightful imaginations of ‘American Horror Story: Asylum' viewers, who after only four episodes obsess over clues to the masked serial killer’s identity. We’ve certainly been jerked around a bit as to the killer’s true visage, even across multiple timelines, but is the mask about to be lifted? According to series creator Ryan Murphy, we won’t have long to wait to find out!
By now, the world audience understands the rules of a reboot. One can pay gentle homage to past iterations, while crafting a new and unique vision of the source material. You certainly never remake something shot for shot in the vein of Gus Van Sant's take on 'Psycho,' but it seems CBS' 'Hawaii Five-0' reboot hasn't quite gotten that memo. The updated series will next tackle the task of remaking classic episodes, but what will be different this time around?
'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and even 'How I Met Your Mother' fans were recently elated to hear that the series would re-unite star Alyson Hannigan with two-time on-screen love interest Seth Green for an upcoming installment of the show's (likely) swan song season. The initial announcement gave a few details of Green's role as a forgotten friend of Marshall and Lily from their college days, but how would you like to see the pair officially re-united on the set?
Well, alright then. Comedian Patton Oswalt's TV career definitely seems to be taking off to new heights, first with a recurring stint on FX's gunslinger drama 'Justified,' and now as we've learned, another recurring gig on HBO's Aaron Sorkin drama 'The Newsroom.' Oswalt isn't alone however, as Rosemary DeWitt has also been tasked for a recurring role, but who will the former 'United States of Tara' stars (yes, both) play?
As if the point hadn't been hammered into our skulls a dozen or so times by now (in some cases literally), death might come for anyone on AMC's 'The Walking Dead.' This past Sunday saw two major unexpected deaths hanging a dark cloud over the series, but one idea yet to be explored has been the resurrection of dead characters via flashback, or even dream sequences. Given the traumatizing events of "Killer Within," is there any chance we might see certain dead characters going forward?
Hold the phone! Where just yesterday we were begrudging the likes of NBC's 'Whitney,' which like 'Chicago Fire' and 'Guys With Kids' had earned additional script orders from NBC, it seems the fire has just taken another leap forward. NBC has announced that the modestly performing Dick Wolf firefighter drama 'Chicago Fire' is on its way to a full-season pickup! How many episodes will the series see, and what are NBC bosses saying?
Granted the two series aren't actually in competition, 'Community' fans grudge against 'Whitney' has just gotten even bigger. Where once both series were scheduled to debut on Friday, October 19, NBC opted to delay the launch and fit each in at a later date. 'Whitney' quickly got placement into the failing 'Animal Practice' slot, leaving 'Community' to rot until February, so how could things get any worse? When NBC orders even more scripts for the critically-maligned 'Whitney,' of course!
How very rare that when we get to describe the ending to a TV episode as explosive, we mean it literally! 'Boardwalk Empire' season 3 has quite a few pieces to pick up in the wake of this past Sunday's "The Pony," but Gyp Rosetti (Bobby Cannavale) seems to be the one calling the shots for now. Gyp has moved in on Tabor Heights once more and made a big power play to take Nucky out of the picture, but what do the latest clips reveal about his plan?
