House Report Card: Everybody Grades
24 May 2012 12:35 PM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
The grumpy doctor has checked out.
This past Monday, House wrapped up an impressive eight-season run with a finale that sent the title character and his best friend riding into the sunset. What were the best moments/episodes of House Season 8? And 7? And 6? And... you get the point.
Below, House guru Lisa Palmer takes a look back and life in and around Princeton-Plainsboro and then offers up a final grade for the series as a whole.
-------------------------------------------
Best Episode of Season 1: “Three Stories” is the first episode that breaks the formula of the typical House episode and one of the ones that does it best. We also get to find out what happened to House’s leg.
Best Episode of Season 2: In “No Reason” House is shot by a disgruntled patient and converses with him throughout the episode as we find out more about what House is really thinking. »

ABC Announces Fall Schedule – Get A Peek At What’s Coming

Terry O'Quinn as Gavin Doran in "666 Park Avenue" (ABC/Andrew Eccles)
ABC‘s slate of new shows for fall has a strange flavor to it, and it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The network has about as many new shows as returning ones (if you count all the midseasons), and a good percentage of the returning offerings are a year old or less, making this look a bit like a rebuilding year.
Not only is it a rebuilding year, but it’s the year of bringing back every actor and actress who ever had a decent run on a show before. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a network’s new season slate that was so crammed with people returning from something else. If you can’t make it good, I suppose, make sure viewers recognize the faces.
It’s tricky to get a solid feel »

'House' series finale - 'Everybody Dies': Deconstructing Gregory
21 May 2012 11:42 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The final episode of "House" brought back just about everybody (with one big exception) who's played a significant role on the show and presented us with a "This Is Your Life" sort of story for its central character.
It also mixed in some of the storytelling technique of one of the show's finest episodes, Season 1's "Three Stories," borrowed a little from "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and House's literary predecessor Sherlock Holmes and came to, if not the happiest of endings, at least a happy enough one for its central relationship, that of House and Wilson.
"Everybody Dies" was an ambitious episode, both thematically and in terms of production, and it's hard not to respect the show for going for it in its last episode. But for about 53 minutes, it was also kind of depressing. That mood reversed pretty quickly in the final scenes, and in a way that »

10 Most Promising New Fall Shows
18 May 2012 10:19 AM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
Every May, the major networks come to New York City with footage from the shows they've ordered for fall and a U-haul filled with booze as they try and tempt advertisers to buy airtime on their channel. This not only allows ad sales folk to rub elbows with the stars but also serves as the first time anyone gets to see snippets from all the new fall pilots!

New TV Season Breakdown: ABC
18 May 2012 4:33 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the third one announced. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on ABC.
An odd year for the once mighty juggernaut which can still pack 'em in. It had surprise success stories with "Once Upon a Time" and "Revenge", the latter becoming an unexpected international hit, and several shows have gotten renewals despite more modest numbers. Still, with it battling with NBC for the third and fourth position overall, the network has to introduce ten shows over the course of the season in the hope of getting a few stickers.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen include the fashion label dynasty soap "Americana", ABC's update of the 90's "Beauty and the Beast" TV series, the Roland Emmerich-produced thriller "Dark Horse", the »

Broadcast Networks Fall Sked: New and Old Genre Offerings, Part 2
17 May 2012 2:21 PM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »
With the broadcast networks done shoring up their fall schedule, let’s take a look at what genre fans (and the gays) have to look forward to:
ABC offers two genre themed show’s next season, one drama the other a comedy. 666 Park Avenue returns Lost alumni and bad-ass actor Terry O’Quinn to the small screen. Everyone has needs, desires and ambition, and for the residents of The Drake, these will all be met, courtesy of the building’s mysterious owner. But every Faustian contract comes with a price. When Jane Van Veen (Rachael Taylor) and Henry Martin (Dave Annable), an idealistic young couple from the Midwest, are offered the opportunity to manage the historic building, they not only fall prey to the machinations of Doran and his mysterious wife, Olivia (Vanessa Williams), but unwittingly begin to experience the shadowy, supernatural forces within the building that imprison and endanger »

ABC upfronts: a network in search of hit shows and a much-needed identity
16 May 2012 8:27 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Near the bottom of the network heap, ABC's new lineup is heavy on big stars but seems light on groundbreakingly good scripts
ABC was the third of the big four networks to present its roster of new shows to advertisers this week. Here's our guide to the potential hits and misses.
What ABC needs
ABC is good at creating buzz around its shows, which often makes it seem that the network is doing better than it is. In fact, ABC was easily beaten into third place in the ratings last year, and if you count the Super Bowl ratings (which I always think is a little unfair as it skews things) then it finished fourth behind NBC.
On the surface there's no clear reason for this – ABC had one of last year's most talked-about new shows, Revenge, and the season's only real breakout hit, Once Upon A Time. It has America's biggest comedy, »

The Neighbors Preview: Not a Joke!
16 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Last year, it was Work It, as ABC aired a comedy that led to viewers laughing at the actions on screen, as opposed to with.
This season, following the buzz reel that played at yesterday's Upfront in NYC, it's hard not to wonder if the same fate will befall The Neighbors.
This quirky sitcom features Jami Gertz and Lenny Venito at the Weavers, a married couple with three kids who move to a gated New Jersey community, only to learn that those around them are aliens. Really. That's the premise.

'Last Resort': Scott Speedman and Andre Braugher go nuclear in ABC's new drama
15 May 2012 4:52 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Last Resort" doesn't exactly seem on-brand for ABC, but the trailer for the new series sure has us intrigued.
Andre Braugher ("Men of a Certain Age") stars as the captain of a nuclear submarine who receives possibly sketchy orders to launch a strike on Pakistan. When he refuses and another U.S. warship fires on the sub, he and his executive officer (Scott Speedman, "Felicity" and "Underworld") decide to go rogue and set up camp on a sparsely populated tropical island, which suddenly becomes the world's newest nuclear-armed nation.
The trailer is tense and features some good action, but ABC Entertainment president Paul Lee also touted its "big-tent" qualities to reporters on Tuesday (May 15), saying it tested well with women and men. As for us, we're curious to see how much of a gray area Braugher's character lives in. He comes off as very principled at the beginning of the teaser, »

'666 Park Ave' gets supernatural and 'Nashville' gets soapy: First Impressions of ABC's 2012-13 dramas
15 May 2012 4:34 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
ABC's drama lineup for the 2012-2013 season is nothing short of ambitious. While it's hard to tell whether every show will succeed, there's one person who should be commended -- whoever edits the trailers for these things. Way to make the supernaturally creepy "666 Park Avenue" stick in our heads long before its fall premiere date. "Nashville's" soapy, serialized "Country Strong"-esque storyline could not seem more action-packed -- and this is all footage from the first episode.
Color us extremely impressed, except with a deplorable-looking Americanization of the British drama "Mistresses." Check out our first impressions of the network's new dramas below:
"666 Park Avenue"
Sundays, 10 p.m.
ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee calls "666 Park Avenue" an "utterly brilliant drama" that's "as delicious as its lead-in," "Revenge." Although it starts with a relatively common horror movie trope -- an innocent couple doesn't know what they're getting into -- the trailer strikes »

Last Resort: First Look at ABC's New Exotic Island Drama
From executive producer Shawn Ryan ("The Shield," "The Unit," "The Chicago Code") comes Last Resort, ABC's new drama centered around a group of naval officers who have gone Awol.
We open Last Resort 500 feet beneath the ocean's surface, where the U.S. ballistic missile submarine Colorado is patrolling the waters. One day, a message comes over a special radio channel, one that is only designed to be used if their homeland has been wiped out. Their orders: fire nuclear weapons at Pakistan.
But Captain Marcus Chaplin (Andre Braugher) isn’t eager to start a war and he demands confirmation of the orders. In response to his “insubordination”, the White House relieves him of duty. His replacement, Xo Sam Kendal (Scott Speedman), finds himself facing the same decision. Like his captain, Kendal also refuses to fire without confirmation. The Colorado is then targeted, »

First-Look Trailer, Stills Of Andre Braugher Leading The U.S.S. Nevada In "Last Resort"

Continuing on with first-looks at ABC's next season pickups... Damn it feels good to see Andre Braugher headlining this; and from the below trailer, I'm mos def digging what I'm getting from it, and look forward to that pilot. An actor I think we'd all love to see get more and more screen time (both on TV and in theaters) Mr Andre Braugher plays the lead role in this new ensemble ABC drama titled Last Resort. What's Last Resort about: The project centers on the crew of the U.S.S. Nevada, a nuclear submarine, who, after disobeying a suspicious order, become fugitives. They land on the island of Sainte Marina, where they take over the Nato Listening Station and declare themselves an independent nuclear nation. I like how that reads. And no it's not a J.J. Abrams or Shonda Rhimes project, since both names seem to be attached to everything (nyuck, »

ABC's New Schedule: 'Revenge' Heads To 'Desperate' Slot & More
15 May 2012 10:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
ABC is shaking things up for its 2012-2013 schedule.
"Revenge" is heading over to Sunday nights at 9 p.m. Et, the slot the now dead "Desperate Housewives" occupied up until last week. Old standby "Grey's Anatomy" is staying put, as is "Scandal," but they're paired with newcomer "Last Resort."
In a press conference call right after the schedule announcement, ABC Entertainment President Paul Lee said he's not concerned about launching a big action show at 8 p.m. -- especially not "Last Resort," from "The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan.
"I have so much faith in Shawn. You get a sense in this job of the showrunners who really know how to drive the train. Don't forget -- we've opened strong action shows at that hour, and certainly there's an audience for it. We believe strongly in the strength of this show.
