Boy, very little seems to go wrong for TNT these days.  On the heels of a major summer that saw big ratings upticks and renewals for buzz-worthy dramas 'Falling Skies' and the updated 'Dallas,' and on top of the recent announcement that 'The Closer' spin-off 'Major Crimes' would itself move onto another season, the network has good news for fans of legal comedy 'Franklin & Bash.'  The Mark Gos

Looks like school's about to be in session, Greendale gang!  'Community's season 4 debut might be one of the longest hiatuses we've had to endure, but the return to Greendale on October 19 will be well worth the wait as we settle in for the new 13-episode season, which looks to premiere with some of our long-running 'Community' favorites.  But what dramatic returns and unexpected hookups do the fi

Earlier this morning, tragic and surprising news broke that one-time 'Sons of Anarchy' star Johnny Lewis had died in a bizarre incident where the actor beat his 81-year-old landlady to death, got in an altercation with several men and died in a fall from the home in which he'd rented a room. Though the investigation is still on-going, 'Sons of Ancarhy' creator Kurt Sutter has issued his own respon

Very sad news to report this morning, particularly sad for fans of FX's motorcycle drama 'Sons of Anarchy,' as we've just learned that one-time series star Johnny Lewis has died under somewhat mysterious circumstances. The actor was known to play Kip "Half-Sack" eps on the first two seasons of the hit biker series, before requesting to be released from his contract, which 'Sons of Anarch

It's no secret that certain directors have a stable of actors they work with in an almost religious capacity. Tim Burton can't seem to do anything without Johnny Depp or Helena Bonham Carter, Wes Anderson has Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman, and so on, and so forth. So when HBO announced that famed mockumentary director Christopher Guest was to develop his own series, was it any surprise that Fr

'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' is coming back for its eighth season in a few weeks, and they've released this promotional video to get people excited. Suspiciously absent is the entire actual cast, but they've been replaced by the likes of 'Full House' alum Candace Cameron (New Charlie) and Xzibit (New Dee)...

While '30 Rock' gears up for its final 13 episodes on NBC, don't make the mistake of believing that a half-season means any less room for both new, and familiar faces to drop and send the acclaimed NBC meta-comedy off!  One of its many celebrity guest stars over the years, Matthew Broderick's downtrodden government employee Cooter Burger hasn't been seen since the show's second season, but will ma

Yes, you read that correctly, and we're not that hung over. A familiar hallmark of TV development is to take classic characters and jazz them up with some modern sensibilities, and in recent months we've heard of everything from a steampunk Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, to yet another adaptation of 'Sherlock Holmes.' So really, how long was it going to be before Thomas Edison, father of modern inventi

It's another Jimmy Fallon musical masterpiece.  This time he joins the cast of the new NBC show 'Guys With Kids' to celebrate the lost art of the TV theme song...by singing a four-minute medley of some of the greatest themes of all time. Added bonuses: audience singalong (naturally) plus a 'Mary Tyler Moore' freeze frame...

You know, say what you will about the myriad of programming on USA that sometimes slips beneath the radar, they sure do have staying power. Plenty of USA series remain on the bubble, but at least for the moment fans of con-man drama 'White Collar,' spy drama 'Covert Affairs,' and rich doctor drama 'Royal Pains' have it made in the shade with additional episode orders. Just how long will the new se

Admittedly, we've only heard a few details to date of 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' Season 8.  For instance, we know that Sean "Diddy" Combs will take on an unknown role for an episode, and that the October 11 premiere will see Charlie finally meeting up with his biological father (with a heart-breaking twist), but if FX was planning to replaice the entire cast of the show, don't y

Although NBC's hit competitive reality talent show 'The Voice' didn't win any Emmys this year, losing the award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Show to CBS's 'Amazing Race,' at least it was nominated. And it doesn't mean the Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton-coached series lacks a decent fan base. It doesn't, and the recent announcement from NBC that 'The Voice' i

If you want to start watching 'How I Met Your Mother,' but really don't have the time to sit through seven seasons, here's a video of Neil Patrick Harris' character, Barney, pretty much summing up the whole story to date in 52 seconds. That ought to save you some time...

'30 Rock' might be coming to an imminent end with its seventh and final season this fall, but don't expect series star and 'SNL' alum Tina Fey to lose her grip on the tube any time soon.  As her flagship show comes to a close, the star has inked a new lucrative development deal with Universal Television, but the question remains. Will Fey herself star in a new project, independent of '30 Rock,' or

For years now, many have lauded the Emmys as a predictable ceremony, including Jon Stewart last night, but one thing that certainly didn't surprise us was the lack of acknowledgement for 'Community,' in particular its outspoken star Chevy Chase. Over the last year we've heard Chase take potshots at everything from the series to departing showrunner Dan Harmon, but with Harmon gone and 'Community'

Good news, fans of 'Treme'! Well, half-good news anyway. While HBO's acclaimed post-Katrina New Orleans drama 'Treme' kicked off its third season last night (going against the Emmys, ouch), HBO has officially renewed the series for a fourth season. Only, the fourth season is set to be the last, and to recieve a reduced order, at that! So exactly how many episodes will the reduced season be, and wh
