'The Bob Newhart Show' Memorial Day weekend marathon: 'The show holds up,' says star
18 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Bob Newhart believes being smart, and not overly specific, about its time has helped his first sitcom's popularity endure.
Hallmark Channel presents 12 hours of evidence Sunday (May 27) with a 40th-anniversary marathon of "The Bob Newhart Show," a 1972-78 staple of the CBS Saturday-night lineup that included such other classics as "All in the Family," "M*A*S*H," "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "The Carol Burnett Show."
Newhart's famously buttoned-down humor perfectly suited his role as Chicago psychologist Bob Hartley, whose office misadventures were balanced by his home life with wife Emily (Suzanne Pleshette).
"First, Hallmark is very classy and secondly, the show holds up," Newhart tells Zap2it of his pleasure about this weekend's marathon. "It's enjoying a renaissance, and that's a tribute to the writing and performing. We didn't really go too much into the style of the era, which I think accounts for the longevity ... though in some scenes, »

Kimbra: Vows
23 May 2012 10:11 AM, PDT | Pastemagazine.com | See recent PasteMagazine news »
Kimbra Johnson is young (22), kinda-sorta sexy (not hating the Mary Tyler Moore hairdo) and blessed with both a genre-hopping musical sensibility and a hair-raising voice that swoons and soars straight to your deepest pleasure zones. If you’re a non-New Zealander, it’s likely your first brush with Kimbra euphoria came from the singer’s brief-yet-memorable cameo on Gotye’s lush break-up jam “Somebody That I Used To Know,” quite possibly the year’s most inescapable pop sensation. But Kimbra’s not exactly a newbie: Her solo debut album, 2011’s Vows, was a goldmine in both Australia and her home country—now the rest of us »
Crystal Bell: 'Glee' Season 3 Finale Recap: Places I Remember
22 May 2012 9:20 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Note: Do not read on if you have not seen Season 3, Episodes 22 of Fox's "Glee," entitled "Goodbye."
My love/hate relationship with "Glee" this season has, at times, been stretched to its limits. Things got a little heavy for the glee club this year, so it seems appropriate that Season 3 would end on such an emotionally confusing note.
Unlike last week's "Nationals" episode, everything wasn't tied up into a neat little bow. Rachel, Finn and Kurt didn't ride off to New York on the backs of unicorns (sad, I know), and Mr. Schue didn't fall into a vat of boiling hair gel (even sadder, I know). But we did end up with a graduation episode that was heartfelt, comical and, yes, absolutely ridiculous.
Things didn't go as planned for the New York hopefuls. Not surprisingly, Finn was rejected from "Inside the Actor's Studio." However, the McKinley High quarterback had been »

'30 Rock' finale: Lizzing is what happens while you're busy making other plans
17 May 2012 10:11 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
One never does well to make plans in the 30 Rock universe. Let us consider last year’s season finale: All Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) wanted was to spend the summer wearing comfortable clothes, spending time outside, and learning Spanish. And technically she did all those things — when she was sentenced to don a jumpsuit and work on a community service trash crew with a bunch of Latino criminals.
On 30 Rock, the best laid plans are often the source of the most perverse pleasure. They reveal, to quote Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin) in that same episode, “[the show's] version of normal.” And yet, »

Blu-ray Review: ‘Pariah’ Features Adepero Oduye’s Star-Making Performance
8 May 2012 6:41 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – 2011 featured a series of uncommonly affecting films from female directors about young women grappling with their sexual identities. In all three cases, the heroines strain to keep their lesbianism a secret from their families. Céline Sciamma’s “Tomboy” centered on a 10-year-old girl who posed as a boy, while Maryam Keshavarz’s “Circumstance” explored the forbidden romance of two Iranian teens.
These films are so good that it makes one wonder why there aren’t as many accomplished films about young men coming to terms with their homosexuality. Queer cinema too often falls under the stereotypical categorization of soft-core art house fare with earnest messages and amateurish production values. They seem tailor-made for a niche audience, but what makes “Tomboy,” “Circumstance” and Dee Rees’s “Pariah” so powerful is their resonance as universal human stories. These characters aren’t defined by their sexual orientations, despite what society would lead them to believe. »

From the archive, 24 April 1981: 'Coke' investigation adds strife to Hollywood's high society

Paranoia in Tinseltown as a congressional committee turns the spotlight on cocaine abuse in Hollywood
The joke in Hollywood these days is that when the film director shouts 'Cut!' the stars reach for their stash of cocaine.
A 'cut' is the byword in the private world of 'coke' users, when a 'line' of the white powder is prepared for sniffing up the nose - a 'toot' or 'snort.'
The processed derivative of the Latin American erythroxylon coca leaf is Hollywood society's 'high' - at £60 a gramme. The joke is now wearing thin, and the practice is becoming less private.
When a congressional committee from Washington arrived in Los Angeles this week to investigate drug abuse, Hollywood responded as though Senator McCarthy had returned from the 1950s with his blacklist.
Paranoia in Tinseltown is at another kind of high, and it was futile for the committee to assure the »

Evan Shapiro: TV's 17 Best Issue-tainment Shows of All Time
19 April 2012 6:25 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
On April 7, Mike Wallace, the lion of the TV news magazine died. Wallace was more than a news man. He was a former actor and game show host who found a way to seamlessly blend news and entertainment into a combination that was far more than a sum of its parts. Wallace -- first on Night Beat, then on 60 Minutes -- didn't just investigate or report. He turned interviewing into a blood sport -- becoming both one of the most liked and feared men on television as a result. He brought the same intensity and enthusiasm to every interview -- be it entertainers, world leaders or criminals -- even once calling Ayatollah Khomeini a lunatic, to his face.
This got him into trouble at times -- settling a lawsuit with General Westmoreland; losing a battle with CBS over a tobacco industry whistleblower -- but it also made him something rare »

Lena Dunham's Girls: it's the morning after and the critics have their say

After what seemed like endless hype, a roundup of reviews from across the web of HBO's much-buzzed-about new comedy
After weeks of breathless hype and speculation, HBO's Girls has finally aired. So, does Lena Dunham's show warrant the thousands of gallons of ink devoted to it? The critics have weighed in, and the consensus is: on balance, yeah.
Read some highlights from around the web. But don't be so passive about it. You have your own chance to weigh in at 1pm Et Monday during a Guardian live chat:
Ken Tucker in Entertainment Weekly:
What may prevent Girls from vaulting into top-tier status so far is the absence of one necessary element of the genre Dunham is working in: joy. Consider that even her HBO cousins Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mike White's Enlightened and Lisa Kudrow's mighty The Comeback – none of them Mary Tyler Moore-ish, hat-flinging life-affirmers »

Suzanne O'Malley: Glad Girls
16 April 2012 7:36 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
At the SXSW Festival 2012, HBO rolled out the red carpet, screened three episodes of Lena Dunham's Girls, and viewers wandered into a bona fide hit. Whose time, incidentally, had come.
What writer/actress/director, Lena Dunham has written is good and true. At least in my opinion as a single person perpetually amazed by cutting-edge social and romantic horrors.
Mostly, Girls makes me glad.
I'm a student of sitcom (and, all right, sometimes a teacher of its evolution). World War II, coming conveniently near the beginning of popularly available television programming, allowed room for a Gertrude Berg (in 1949 the writer, star & producer of television's first sitcom, The Goldbergs); an Ethel Waters (The Beulah Show, 1950); and a Lucille Ball (who in 1951 set sitcom standards still in use by many: shoot film, 3 cameras, live audiences).
Meanwhile the guys were back from war (not that there's anything wrong with that), but the »

Aaron Sorkin turns to TV journalism for new drama series
7 April 2012 4:10 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Critics say West Wing writer may struggle to find an audience with new series on the media
He became a giant of television for creating The West Wing, the drama series about machinations inside the White House, then the toast of Hollywood for The Social Network, his Oscar-winning film about the founders of Facebook.
Now Aaron Sorkin, one of the biggest names in American film and television, is to launch one of the most eagerly anticipated media events of the season.
The Newsroom, like The Social Network, will reveal a secret story behind the world of modern media. But this time Sorkin is setting the drama in the old-tech world of a television news studio. At a time when the internet is big news and television broadcasters are struggling to find an audience, some observers say he is taking a significant risk.

'Mary Tyler Moore' joins Hallmark Channel: She's gonna make it after all ... again
31 March 2012 4:01 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Mary Tyler Moore couldn't be prouder to have two iconic characters who never are away from television very long.
They're now back-to-back each weeknight on the nostalgic channel Me-tv, where her Mary Richards on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" is followed by her Laura Petrie on "The Dick Van Dyke Show." Each of the classic sitcoms also has another outlet: "Dick Van Dyke" marked its 50th anniversary by rejoining TV Land last fall; and "Mary Tyler Moore" becomes part of the Hallmark Channel lineup with a marathon of first-season episodes Sunday (April 1).
Seven-time Emmy winner Moore tells Zap2it she believes her 1970-77 CBS show's enduring popularity owes to something "The Dick Van Dyke Show" also maintained, "the tradition of good writing and character relationships. We took it another step forward with our show, and that was something to be very proud of.

The ladies of TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland — Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick, and Betty White — regularly work opposite great guest stars, from Regis Philbin to Joan Rivers.

Spade, of course, worked alongside Malick — who stars in the show as narcissistic ex-soap star Victoria Chase — for seven seasons on the NBC sitcom, Just Shoot Me. Cleveland »

Is Bethenny Frankel a 'Real' housewife worth watching?
26 March 2012 9:07 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Last year I found myself hooked into "Bethenny Ever After" (Mon. 10 p.m. on Bravo) despite myself. Yes, former "Real Housewives of New York" star Bethenny Frankel can be crass, loud and annoying, but mostly she had a self-deprecating sense of humor that made scripted scenes almost tolerable and displays of conspicuous consumption a little less irritating. In some ways, she was the neurotic Manhattan version of Mary Tyler Moore 2.0 -- married with a kid in the big city, she was going to make it after all. But I was prepared to sit out this season. Last year Frankel sold her Skinnygirl »
