8 hours ago
Until scientists come up with a cure for what Office Space so brilliantly dubbed as “A Case of the Mondays,” we may have to settle for a prophylactic dose of Susan Lucci dropping hilarious one-liners on Lifetime’s Devious Maids.
So what if her every line and action as Beverly Hills maven Genevieve Delatour has been done on at least a dozen prior TV shows or movies? Lucci somehow makes fresh — or at least so uproarious, you don’t notice a lack of freshness — moments like warning her sexy young maid that she’s called dibs on the gardener, topped »

Ray Donovan: You Fixin' to Stick With It?
9 hours ago
Take Olivia Pope, relocate her to La-La Land, quadruple her intensity, cut her dialogue output in half and, oh yeah, make her look like Liev Schreiber — that, in a nutshell, is Showtime’s wildly entertaining, impeccably cast Ray Donovan.
The series, which bowed Sunday night and hails from Southland creator Ann Biderman, centers on Schreiber’s South Boston transplant Donovan, a “fixer” who miraculously makes the problems of Hollywood’s rich and famous disappear before they get leaked to TMZ. (On R.D.’s series-premiere plate: helping a basketball Mvp rid a dead woman from his bed and convincing the »

True Blood Recap: Sun Day, Bloody Sun Day
10 hours ago
In Sunday’s episode of True Blood — “You’re No Good” — Billith decides that he had his premonition of all his frenemies being deep-fried by the sun so that he could change the future and save them. (So, uh, perhaps the episode should’ve been titled “Okay, Maybe You’re Kinda Good”?) Moreover, he’s so convinced that he is now immortal that he greets the morning sun with arms outstretched — you know, Godric and/or boy band style. Unfortunately, like Godric before him (but sadly very few boy bands), Billith bursts into flames. So, if he isn’t the »
