Before we get into discussing tonight’s DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES return, we have to ask you about your time on BEVERLY HILLS 90210 TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES. Seeing as though we’re the type of TV viewer who has “issues” when it comes to getting over the cancelation of our favorites [Interjects Brian austin Green, “I get it, I’m the same way!”] we’d love to know if you ever had any conversations with [Executive Producer] Josh Friedman as to what would have happened had the show lived to tell the tale?
Brian Austin Green: Yeah, a lot of the next season was going to take place in the future, it was going to be in the desert and the tunnels in a manner similar to what the latest film was. And since it’s a future where John Connor doesn’t exist, the main thrust of the story would have seen him starting at the bottom and becoming the iconic John Connor that everybody knows. It would have been great, but you know what though, I feel that at least we went out on top and we have two really good seasons on Blu-ray and DVD… and it is the holidays… and people can purchase those now!

We Cast ABC’s BEING ERICA Reboot
Following yesterday’s news that has ABC developing a U.S. version of the Canadian hit BEING ERICA, it was only natural that our twitter stream flooded with suggestions as to who would be the perfect actress to take the reins from Canada’s Erica (Erin Karpluk). That said, despite some truly fantastic suggestion from the likes of @insidethetube, @tvdonewright and @ruebenrambling, who got the ball rolling with such deserving actresses as Shiri Appleby (LIFE UNEXPECTED), Autumn Reeser (NO ORDINARY FAMILY), and Katie Cassidy (GOSSIP GIRL) respectively, we’ve compiled what we believe to be, the definitive dream cast. See for yourself, after the jump.

You’ve probably been told countless times about how great TV has become in the last few years, that a supposed Golden Age is upon us. Whatever you want to call it, there’s definitely something extraordinary happening in TV right now: In my short experience as someone who writes about the medium, this was the hardest year yet to complete my top 10, there’s so much to choose from. In many ways, my list is rife with clichés: low-rated, critical darlings and niche programs – my completed lineup is made up of Shows You Should Watch, those shows professional critics keep telling you are great, get heaps of ink telling you further, and now here I am telling you all over again.
Acting 101: How to Succeed in Show Business…
What do actors Pej Vahdat, Joel Moore, Ryan Cartwright, Carla Gallo and Michael Grant Terry all have in common? Well, aside from helping fill out the Jeffersonian’s revolving cast of interns (or as they’re affectionally referred to by fans as “Squinterns”) on the hit FOX series BONES since the whole “Gormogon” incident left Zach… errr… otherwise occupied, each and every one has seen their career surge since doing so.
Evidently, struggling actors are no longer turning to Scientology to get their name out there when an internship on BONES has proven to be just as effective! Or at least that was our conclusion after spending some time investigating the pre-and-post BONES careers of the following actors five.
Michael Grant Terry (2008-2010)
BONES ID: Wendell Bray
Most notable onscreen characteristic: If the Squinterns were your run-of-the-mill boy band, Wendell Bray would most certainly be Sporty Squint, who, when he isn’t scoring on the ice playing hockey with Booth, is busy scoring points off the ice with Angela!
When he’s not assisting Dr. Temperance Brennan… Terry can be found guest starring in countless TV shows and movies including CRIMINAL MINDS, THE DEFENDERS, ELEVENTH HOUR, WITHOUT A TRACE and Post Grad.
