AfterElton's 2012 Summer TV Guide
24 May 2012 7:08 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Summer used to be a time when your TV choices were pretty limited. But then then the cable networks wised up and realized it was a perfect season to launch new programming, since their broadcast competition had little to offer besides reruns. As a result, the summer TV schedule now has enough to keep you thoroughly entertained - a relief on those days when the heat forces you inside and prostrate on the couch.
Whether your idea of great summer TV is light drama, ridiculous reality, supernatural angst or smartass comedy there seems to be something for everyone. Here are the new shows that have our curiosity piqued and the returning shows we're excited to see back.

TNT Upfront Report: Revisiting Dallas, Introducing New Hits
17 May 2012 6:04 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
The Turner Entertainment Networks plunged into the middle of an upfronts week dominated by the broadcast networks. As Conan joked in an otherwise anemic monologue, TNT/TBS had to settle for a 9 a.m. slot across from Penn Station while CBS grabbed cocktail hour at Carnegie Hall.
But the Hammerstein Ballroom was lovely as the network paraded out their current stars and introduced us to what they hope will be upcoming favorites.
President Michael Wright touted the networks' "popcorn mindset" as a plan to "entertain and excite viewers, while taking them on a ride that lands them safely at the end."
Premiering Wednesday, June 13 has to be the most anticipated of the new series. The resurrection of the classic over-the-top family drama, Dallas couples fan favorites with the next generation of the feuding Ewing clan.
Along with J.R., Bobby, Sue Ellen and several other original cast members we'll enjoy »

'Desperate Housewives' series finale: Eva Longoria and Vanessa Williams join Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman to reminisce
13 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Behind the wisteria lurk the secrets, affairs and lies one admits only to closest friends. Through marriages, divorces, births, deaths -- accidental and intentional -- illnesses, triumphs, children and crimes, one bond remains indestructible: the women's friendship.
ABC's "Desperate Housewives" comes to what will undoubtedly be an over-the-top two-hour finale Sunday, May 13. Even as the actresses head into their final weeks after eight seasons, they don't know what will happen, but they respect creator Marc Cherry's cloak of secrecy. Three of the four original housewives -- Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria (Teri Hatcher declined to participate) -- and Vanessa Williams, who joined two years ago, reflect on the show in long, separate interviews with Zap2it.
Felicity Huffman as Lynette
She's the housewife most women relate to. She loves her husband and kids, but they drive her crazy. She's had jobs, but taking care of her family trumped career. »

Long Delayed Twisted Pictures Film The Tortured Getting VOD/Limited Release
12 May 2012 10:55 AM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
This is truly a blast from the past. For those keeping track, Twisted Pictures (the producers behind the Saw films) announced The Tortured in 2007 during the peak of Saw mania, a staggering 5 years ago! It’s a bit ironic seeing this getting released now since the once in vogue torture genre has evaporated as of late but every film deserves it’s due, especially if said film stars horror veteran Bill Moseley! Luckily IFC swooped in and acquired it, which is now available on VOD and will be given a limited theatrical release beginning June 15th. IFC has also cut a new trailer which we’ve included below, was this worth the wait faithful readers?
Synopsis: “Craig (Jesse Metcalfe) and Elise (Erika Christensen) had all the ingredients for an ideal life: a great marriage, a wonderful five-year-old son, a charming home and a bright future. Then, on one sunny day, »

Jesse Metcalfe Was Unsure About Taking On Dallas Remake Role
11 May 2012 12:06 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actor Jesse Metcalfe was initially hesitant to sign up for a starring role on the new Dallas revamp because he felt the TV industry was already flooded with too many series remakes.
The former Desperate Housewives star had just filmed another new TV show in Texas when he was approached to join the original castmembers of the 1980s soap, Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray, for an updated version of the drama.
But Metcalfe was "critical of the idea" and wasn't convinced a modern-day Dallas would be a hit - until he gave the script a proper read through.
He tells PR.com, "Ironically, I was shooting another series in Dallas that was called Chase, on NBC. We actually didn’t get a full season. We did 18 episodes and I got a call asking if I wanted to put myself on tape for the new Dallas.
"Initially, I was reticent. I was definitely critical of the idea. There’s been such a huge wave of remakes over the last five to 10 years, most of which had failed. I wasn’t looking to come off of one show that was being cancelled and do a pilot that I thought had a great chance of being cancelled.
"But after I read the script and saw the strength of the writing, and how well developed and complex these characters were, I was interested."
Metcalfe actually auditioned to play John Ross Ewing, the part that eventually went to Josh Henderson - but he insists he's happier portraying Christopher Ewing, the son of Duffy's iconic character Bobby.
He says, "I had done an audition for John Ross and there was some interest there, and we were going to negotiate a test deal. But they decided to test Josh Henderson and they held on to him for the role. I think that’s just great casting and perfect. When they came back to me for Christopher, I was thrilled because I really identified with that character even more." »
Review: 'The Tortured' Might As Well Describe The Audience For Twisted Pictures' Latest
11 May 2012 12:02 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
For most viewers, there's no way to take a look at that Twisted Pictures logo and feel at ease. Sure, it's intimidating all on it's own -- dark lowercase lettering separated by barbed-wire, inky shadows. But it's an entirely different sort of fear that emerges from the house that James Wan built. The company piggybacked off three "Saw" films before it decided to expand into other hoary, blood-soaked horror cheapies, most of them in the direct-to-video realm. With "Saw" over, however, Twisted Pictures still has a few leftovers from the torture porn trend, and one is 2010's "The Tortured," currently, finally receiving a VOD release.

Patrick Duffy Relies On Young Co-stars For Techie Tips
7 May 2012 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Dallas legend Patrick Duffy is glad the relaunched show has a younger cast - he relies on his co-stars Jesse Metcalfe and Josh Henderson for advice on modern gadgets.
The hit drama series returns to U.S. TV next month after 21 years off air, and producers have drafted in several emerging actors to join original stars Duffy, Larry Hagman and Linda Gray.
And Duffy wasted no time in tapping into the young castmembers' technical knowledge, enlisting their help when his iPhone malfunctioned and he couldn't access his account on Twitter.com for more than a week.
In a post on the microblogging website, Duffy writes, "Sorry I have been 'off line' but my twitter app was broken. Had to start over. Glad to be back... Josh and Jesse told me how to fix it." »

'Dallas' sneak peek: Let the games begin
30 April 2012 10:02 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
The mother of all nighttime dramas is less than two months away from making its return to TV. And to ramp up the excitement about the newest iteration/continuation of "Dallas," TNT has put out an extended promo for the soap.
The series catches up with the Ewing family 21 years after the long-running show left the air. It features original cast members Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray. Added to the familiar faces are their now grown-up children John Ross (Josh Henderson) and Christopher (Jesse Metcalfe). From the looks of it, the infighting and backstabbing are going to be just as memorable as they were the first time around.
"The audience is going to have the comfort of the familiar but this really special chemistry of the new," says Brenda Strong, who plays Bobby's new wife Ann.
"Dallas" premieres June 13 on TNT with back-to-back episodes.

Dallas Bosses Recreate Infamous Shower Scene For Ad
29 March 2012 5:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Producers of the new series of legendary drama Dallas have made a cheeky reference to the show's most famous moment in a billboard advertisement for the relaunch.
Viewers were left stunned in 1986 when Bobby Ewing came back from the dead after he passed away following a car crash the previous season.
The infamous plot peaked when the character, played by Patrick Duffy, was found by his grieving widow Pamela enjoying a morning shower, and his death - and the entire season - was explained away as a dream.
The audacious move sparked anger and awe in equal measure among fans of the show - and producers of the upcoming relaunch have boldly referenced the programme's most famous moment in a new ad.
The poster shows Duffy and his original co-stars Larry Hagman and Linda Gray in a shower alongside newcomers Jesse Metcalfe, Josh Henderson, Jordana Brewster, Julie Gonzalo and Brenda Strong - with the slogan, "They're back. And no, you're not dreaming." »
