TV on Tap: Garret Dillahunt to “Burn” Again and “Mad Men”‘s Bob Benson Reveal
17 June 2013 5:11 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
News
Turns out, some Mad Men viewers guessed right about Bob Benson‘s secret. Too bad they aren’t the ones who picked “Peggy and Pete‘s time-traveler love child, Paul Paulson.” (I hope you weren’t spoiled by the revelation that Mad Men wasn’t taking on time travel.)
I like to think Dillahunt‘s Burn Notice character is still angry
about The Book Of Daniel getting cancelled.
I guess Garret Dillahunt was tired of being sweet and lovable but dim on Raising Hope because EW reports are that he’s returning to Burn Notice.
Lifetime’s Lizzie Borden movie just got more interesting now that the cast has added Billy Campbell and Clea Duvall. Campbell will play Lizzie’s lawyer, while Duvall will play her sister.

Chris Diamantopoulos Joins Episodes as the New Network Boss
4 June 2013 2:53 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
It’s been a good year for Chris Diamantopoulos. He’s been very busy taking on a variety of comedic parts in some of televisions best sitcoms, though it would be fair to say he didn’t appear at their creative peaks. Regardless of the conditions of the shows he’s appeared in, Diamantopoulos has been around a lot this year, making appearances in The Office (Brian the boom operator), Community (a German student) and the revived Arrested Development (Marky Bark). He’s done so well for himself that it felt like he was being rewarded when it was announced he was cast in the upcoming third season of Showtime’s Episodes. It was like someone saying, “Now you’re ready for the big leagues.”
Does anyone else besides me consider subscription-based networks like Showtime the big leagues? I think that’s a fair comparison to make, even though I »

TV on Tap: Chris Diamantopoulos joins “Episodes” and a New Kathy Griffin Special
4 June 2013 4:22 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
News
Chris Diamantopoulos is joining the cast of Episodes, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He’ll be in a season-long story arc as the new network head, who will probably will be key to explaining why Episodes is getting a third season. (That’s not a knock on Episodes, but it is getting tougher to explain why Pucks! continues to be in production.)
In frustrating news, TVLine says that time is running out for Happy Endings now that USA has passed on it. While Sony (who makes the show) continues to try to sell a fourth season to TBS, NBC (do they really want another Community at this point?), Amazon or Netflix). The cast’s contracts will expire in three weeks so they better hurry.

Stills from season 4 of Arrested Development emerge
24 April 2013 10:34 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Netflix and the stars of Arrested Development have done a pretty good job of keeping fairly coy about the upcoming season. Devoted fans have been kept waiting for a trailer or a sneak peek and Entertainment Weekly’s latest covers delivers with a detailed insight to the new episodes.
When describing the new season, creator Mitch Hurwitz said: “This year is about the enduring entanglements of family. They are 10 years older than when we met, so that means emotionally they’re, like, two years older than we met them. Amazing things happen when one goes from being emotionally 12 years old to emotionally being 14 years old.” If the thought of being able to watch the Bluth family again and the premise alone isn’t promising enough, there has also been a number of impressive guest stars announced.

'Arrested Development' Adds Kristen Wiig To Season 4
19 February 2013 9:30 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Just when you thought Netflix's "Arrested Development" revival couldn't get any more awesome, Vulture broke the news that "Bridesmaids" star Kristen Wiig would guest star in Season 4 as ... a young Lucille Bluth!
Yes, the "Saturday Night Live" Mvp will be playing a younger version of Jessica Walter's sociopathic matriarch, which hopefully means that the show is also on the lookout for someone to play a younger version of her nemesis, Lucille 2 (Liza Minnelli) when the show premieres on Netflix in May. Further details on Wiig's role are being kept under wraps.
In addition to Wiig and Seth Rogen, familiar faces such as John Slattery, Ben Schwartz, Chris Diamantopoulos, Conan O'Brien, Andy Richter, Isla Fisher and Terry Crews will be making their "Ad" debut in Season 4.
While it's a given that the entire dysfunctional Bluth clan will be back, other returning stars include Minneilli, Judy Greer as Kitty Sanchez, Mae Whitman as Ann Veal, »

As far as casting news goes, this is about as good as it gets: Former Saturday Night Live superstar Kristen Wiig is set to make an appearance in Netflix’s anticipated Arrested Development revival as a younger version of Jessica Walter’s boozy matriarch Lucille Bluth.

As noted by Vulture, which first broke the news, Ad leading man Jason Bateman likely orchestrated the casting coup, given his off screen friendship with Wiig (the pair co-starred in the comedies Extract and Paul).

'The Office' sets a series finale date
7 February 2013 10:20 AM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The end is nigh for "The Office." NBC has set a series finale date for its long-running comedy.
The show will end with a one-hour series finale on Thursday, May 16, the network says. The finale will also be the 200th episode.
Recent episodes of "The Office" have started to reveal the people making the documentary crew, in particular boom operator Brian (Chris Diamantopoulos), who clearly has a soft spot for Pam (Jenna Fischer) after working so close to her all these years.
Executive producer Greg Daniels said recently that turning the cameras on the documentary crew marked "the beginning of the end" for the show. He also urged people not to wait until the finale to tune in.
"I don't think we're planning on packing everything into the last episode," he said. "I would encourage people -- if you're waiting for the end of 'The Office' to re-tune in, »

Review: 'The Office' - 'Junior Salesman/Vandalism'
1 February 2013 5:00 AM, PST | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
A review of last night's "The Office" double-feature coming up just as soon as I redact my resume... When last week's episode introduced Chris Diamantopoulos as Brian the friendly boom mic operator, I was intrigued with the idea of getting more information about this Dunder-Mifflin documentary — who's behind it, where/when will it be shown, will it just be focusing on Jim and Pam (as suggested in the season premiere), etc. — and using that big emotional moment as a catalyst to put the crew on camera. The one aspect of it that I was not interested in was, unfortunately, the »

TV on Tap: Jamie Dornan Back at "Once Upon a Time," a Final Season for "Himym" and Which Bubble Shows Survive?

It's so hard to say goodbye to 30 Rock.

Yes! Hunky sheriff Jamie Dornan is returning to Once Upon a Time. Storybrooke has gotten a lot more hunky since the woodsman/sheriff died, but it'll be great to see him pretty up the town once more.
It's finally become official and CBS has ordered a ninth season of How I Met Your Mother, which will be the comedy's final season. Too bad the chance for Himym to go out on top is long past.
Comedian T.J. Miller has been cast in the HBO comedy pilot Silicon Valley, Deadline reports. That can't be a good sign for The Goodwin Games, the yet-to-debut Fox comedy starring Miller, Scott Foley and Becki Newton.

'The Office': Could Pam Cheat On Jim?
29 January 2013 3:54 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Last week's dramatic "Office" reveal took a surprising turn when the first member of the documentary crew viewers had ever seen -- a boom mic guy named Brian played by Chris Diamantopoulos -- comforted a crying Pam after she and Jim got into an argument.
The intense moment not only exposed a rift in Pam and Jim's marriage that's developed while he's been living in Philadelphia part-time, working on his sports marketing start-up, but seemed to hint at the possibility that Pam and Brian shared an emotional connection that could spell trouble for the couple at the emotional center of "The Office."
In an interview with EW, the NBC comedy's showrunner Greg Daniels discussed the development and previewed some possible marital drama to come for Pam and Jim in the show's next two episodes, which air back-to-back on Thursday night.

'The Office' boss on last week's big reveal. Plus, is Pam going to cheat on Jim?!

Last week’s episode of The Office pulled back the curtain on the show’s documentary in a way longtime viewers had never seen. We were introduced to Brian (Chris Diamantopoulos), a boom mic operator who has been following the lives of Dunder Mifflin’s employees for over eight years alongside the rest of the documentary crew.
But it wasn’t Brian’s mere appearance that had fans buzzing after the episode — it was the intimate moment that led to his reveal.
At the end of the episode, Pam got in a fight with Jim that, on the surface, was »
