NBC not moving forward with select pilots: 'Hatfields & McCoys,' 'Holding Patterns' and more
8 May 2013 5:09 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
NBC has announced some of the pilots that it will not be ordering to series this fall -- releasing actors and writers from their contracts. This doesn't mean that those not listed here will definitely be picked up; it simply means that they're still in contention for the (many) open spots in NBC's fall lineup.
Not Going To Series:
"Joe, Joe and Jane": A multi-cam sitcom centered on an author, Joe (Will Greenberg) who is torn between his clingy wife Jane (Sally Pressman) and his best friend and writing partner, Joe (Dave Annable). The series, from "The Office" and "Just Shoot Me" writers Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, also starred Larry Wilmore,
"Drop Off" (aka The Gates): Described as "an adult ensemble comedy set at the front gates of an elementary school drop-off," the show revolved around the parents and school staff, and their "social minefield" when picking »

DVD Review: Here Comes the Boom
11 March 2013 9:19 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Kevin James, Henry Winkler, Salma Hayek, Greg Germann, Joe Rogan, Bas Rutten, Charice | Written by Kevin James, Allan Loeb, Rock Reuben | Directed by Frank Coraci
“Biology teacher Scott Voss (Kevin James) attempts to become a successful mixed-martial arts fighter in an effort to raise money to prevent extra-curricular activities from being axed at his cash-strapped school…”
Much like his comedy-movie cohort Adam Sandler, the films of Kevin James can be hit and miss, for every I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry there’s a Zookeeper; and the mixed reception afforded his solo efforts (although I’m man enough to admit I actually enjoyed Paul Blart: Mall Cop) didn’t bode well for Here Comes the Boom… So imagine my surprise when the film turned out to be more than just another Happy Madison produced gross-out comedy and is in fact a sentimental tale of »

NCIS, Ep. 10.15, “Hereafter”: A search for answers brings an unexpected player to the forefront
21 February 2013 11:18 AM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
NCIS, Season 10, Episode 15: “Hereafter”
Written by Nichole Mirante-Matthews
Directed by Tony Wharmby
Airs Tuesdays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
Despite the strengths for which it is praised, NCIS has its share of recurring issues, occasionally exhibited by withdrawn characters, uninspired subject matter, emotionally weightless subplots, and flat attempts at humor. The greatness of a season or a single episode fluctuates depending on the emphasis given to each element. “Hereafter” manages to spotlight the best and the brightest, resulting in a well-rounded episode in spite of brief moments that recall those issues.
The episode assumes the task of dealing with the emotional aftermath of Jackie Vance’s death, allowing Rocky Carroll a shot at all the heavy lifting. He carries the story from beginning to end, though it takes a few undesirable twists. His confrontation with his wife’s lawyer and scenes with his children display the range of emotions »

NCIS Promo & Sneak Peek: Back in the Trenches
18 February 2013 7:34 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Vance is back this week on NCIS, but not everyone knows what to make of that.
The agency shot-caller has been noticeably Mia for two episodes following the stunning death of his wife, along with Eli David. Deputy Director Craig (Greg Germann) has been at the helm in his absence.
When Vance resurfaces this week, it's likely to result in some tension with Craig, as well as Gibbs, who will no doubt question Leon's reasons - and readiness. And then there's the safe deposit box.
Check out the promo for "Hereafter" below and see what you make of it:
NCIS 'Hereafter' Promo
CBS' official synopsis reads: "On leave from NCIS while still grieving the loss of his wife and his kids’ mother, Vance discovers unexpected personal information that causes him to question everything."
What do you think it is that the director finds out? And how will he react?

Vulture reports that Kyle MacLachlan will be making a return appearance to How I Met Your Mother. Do they really want us to remember the Zoey storyline we've all worked hard to forget ever existed?
I don't know what to think of this. The NBC pilot The Gates has replaced Aasif Mandvi in favor of Greg Germann. Mandvi is a great talent, so that's discouraging, but I'd also welcome Germann in another comedy role.
2 Broke Girls may have wasted its Super Bowl spotlight on an ad that only emphasized that the jokes are still lazy and hacky, but they did have the wisdom of getting the faboo David Lachapelle to direct the ad.

House Of Lies: The First Season
Stars: Don Cheadle, Kristen Bell, Ben Schwartz, Josh Lawson, Donis Leonard Jr., Richard Schiff, Greg Germann, Griffin Dunne, Dawn Olivieri | Created by Matthew Carnahan
When I read the winners list from the Golden Globes this year I wasn’t too interested, most of them are easy to guess and there were no real surprises. There was one winner that made me happy though because I know he deserves all the praise given to him and that is Don Cheadle for his role as Marty Kaan in House of Lies.
House of Lies looks at a group of management consultants who will do anything to succeed. Marty Kaan (Don Cheadle) as the team leader is the most cut throat of the group, without a seconds though he’ll sleep with a client, find their weakness and bribe them without a second though. His right »

NCIS, Season 10, Episode 12: “Shiva”
Written by Christopher J. Waild, Gary Glasberg and Scott Williams
Directed by Arvin Brown
Airs Tuesdays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
“Shiva” picks up where “Shabbat Shalom” left off: Ziva is grieving her father’s death, and Director Vance, the death of his wife. Although the shooter is dead, the one responsible for hiring the hitman is still at large, his whereabouts and identity unknown.
The deaths of Eli David and Jackie Vance bring an internal shift of power at NCIS as the Secretary of the Navy (Matt Craven) pays a visit to learn more about the attack along with Deputy Director Jerome Craig (Greg Germann) who arrives to assume daily operational duties in preparation for Vance’s eventual leave of absence. Germann’s NCIS debut as interim Director Craig simultaneously poses and answers the question of what it would be like if McGee (cir. »

The episode opened with Ziva in temple, praying — as well as questioning G-d, “Why should I not be angry, with all that has been taken? Show me, why I should not lose hope?” Tony interrupts, having had McGee do his “ping” thing to locate her. “Sympathy is the last thing I want right now,” she says. Rather, she needs “revenge. »

We're used to seeing Gibbs as the immovable and dependable rock for the NCIS team. In this episode, though, I believe that honor went to Tony.
In "Shiva," the team was under great pressure to find the mastermind to the shooting deaths of Mossad director Eli David and NCIS Director Vance's wife, Jackie. The possibility of a war loomed large, as Eli's Iranian contact - Arash Kazmi - was implicated. Eventually, they discovered that Eli's protégé, Mossad Deputy Director Ilan Bodnar, was the murderous traitor behind the deaths.
He knew about Eli's plan to work with Iran and wanted to kill Eli and take over Mossad while implicating Iran in his death.
The writers must be applauded: the story flowed exactly as it should have and there was a richness and depth to almost every scene. Gone (for the most part) was Tony the comedian and in his place was Tony the rock, »

CBS’ NCIS blindsided fans with a double-whammy last week, capping an already tense hour with an abrupt machine-gun assault on the Vance home, where Eli and Ziva David were guests for dinner. When the dust settled, two lives were lost – Ziva’s father, and Vance’s wife Jackie. As Gibbs’ team readies to mourn the dead in this Tuesday’s “Shiva” (airing at 8/7c), showrunner Gary Glasberg shared a look at the devastating aftermath for two of NCIS’ finest.

14 January 2013 1:38 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
Last week’s episode of NCIS, "Shabbat Shalom," felt like a huge cliffhanger you might see in a season opener or finale - exactly what Executive Producer Gary Glasberg wanted, he told TV Fanatic today.
With Ziva’s father Eli, dying along with Vance's wife, what can we expect in "Shiva," tomorrow's conclusion? Glasberg hopped on the phone with us to tell us that the thrills, twists and turns are not over yet.
TV Fanatic: In general, talk to me about the conversations you and the writers have about killing off characters, even recurring ones.
Gary Glasberg: This is something actually that we’ve been talking about for some time. I came with this thought – really, that’s all it was – as far back as last spring. I approached Rocky Carroll (who plays Vance) about it and he was open to the idea. Really, this will take the Vance »

The first NCIS promo for next Tuesday's episode focuses on Ziva's quest for revenge.
CBS' promotional photos remind us of the heartbreak she - and Vance - experienced.
After "Shabbat Shalom," how far will they go in order to protect their most vulnerable colleagues, while mourning their unspeakable losses, in "Shiva"? Part II of this arc should be fascinating to watch.
Matt Craven reprises his role as SecNav Jarvis, while Paula Newsome will appear in some capacity as Jackie Vance. Greg Germann (Ally McBeal) also guest stars as Deputy Director Jerome Craig.
