Good News: Former SMALLVILLE star Justin Hartley has inked a deal to headline a CW Pilot. Bad News: Nope, the creative team behind the Network’s ARROW reboot haven’t come to their senses and handed Hartley the cowl and arrow he so richly deserves, but rather a role on a thinly veiled GREY’S ANATOMY rip-off entitled FIRST CUT.

Two Heads Are Better Than One! Cherry Jones and BD Wong Discuss Their Pivotal Roles in AWAKE
Just because someone may be imagining a world where their wife or son has not died, does that make the person mentally unfit?

They are the voice of reason as Det. Britten tries to sustain a simultaneous existence in two very different worlds.

The Collapse of Primetime Television: Where Are Television Shows Going Wrong?
February is a make-it-or-break-it month for a lot of television shows. It is a sweeps month where ratings for all television show are vital to determine the longevity of any show. Sweeps occur in November to test the viability of new and returning shows; then in February, to test new mid-season shows and again check the pulse of existing shows; and in May, to show advertisers and networks that they are getting their money’s worth and demonstrate that there is an existing audience willing to come back the following Fall after the usual 3-4 month hiatus.
The average viewer has no real awareness of “sweeps” months — other than it guarantees some really cool guest appearances, big stunt episodes and a possible heads-up that there may be a hiatus period afterwards in which television shows are M.I.A. as they play catch-up.
This February, however, has been a blood-bath for most TV shows, new and existing alike. This is typically the time of year when viewership is at an all time high because people are stuck at home during the winter months and seek solace in front of their TV sets. However, 2012 is proving to be the exception to the rule. People are not sitting at home and watching TV. They are doing anything but watching their television sets at the appointed times — and it is sending sharp-spasms of fear throughout every television producer and programmer in the industry. Where have the viewers gone? [Read more…]

COUGAR TOWN Returns With More Romance, Comedy and Neighborly Shenanigans (feat. Video Interview with Courteney Cox and Josh Hopkins)
As a special treat for fans and new viewers, COUGAR TOWN returns on Valentine’s Day with an especially fun episode that will make romantics at-heart swoon. The entire episode (aptly entitled “Ain’t Love Strange”) is a love letter. It is a warm-hearted ode to the fans that have watched for the prior two seasons, and an enticing invitation to new viewers to check out a show that has been saddled with a misleading moniker.
The running joke for the past two years has been to poke fun at the title of the show. Contrary to its name, the show offers a lively look at a charming group of friends who have become a family over the course of their lifetime adventures and who have welcomed a few more lonely neighbors and co-workers into their lives. While divorces tend to drive people away, the divorce of Jules and Bobby Cobb did the impossible and managed to draw people to them because of their love of live and joy in exuberantly celebrating each and every small moment of life.
