ABC's "China Beach," nearly forgotten today, was an incredibly ambitious show for its time. It aired from 1988-1991, long before our current "golden age" of dramas, and is tends to be brought up in context of the longer running series writer/producer John Wells served as showrunner on in its wake -- "E.R." A network drama set in the Vietnam War with a large, strong cast, a big set and a budget that covered helicopters and a prodigious amount of period music, "China Beach" was most celebrated for an ensemble led by strong women characters at a time when this was still a rare thing indeed.

It’s about time, I guess you could say. Universal is finally moving forward on their planned remake of the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme time-travel actioner “Timecop”, based on the Dark Horse comics. The remake has been in the pipeline for at least 6 years now, but apparently the studio just remembered earlier this week. Hey, better late than never, I guess. The studio has writers working on the remake now. The original, of course, starred Jean-Claude Van Damme as a time enforcement cop who tries to stop Ron Silver from doing bad things. Mia Sara co-starred as Jcvd’s wife, and a pre-”ER” Gloria Reuben played his partner. I liked the original film, but I also liked the sequel starring Jason Scott Lee called “Timecop: The Berlin Decision” in 2003. If you’ve never seen the sequel, I would recommend it. Sure, it had a lower budget and it went straight to DVD, »

Psych star James Roday says that the show is planning to remake an episode from an early season, something that no show has done before. I have to admit, it’s an unusual idea (are they retelling the story from a different perspective? is it a Gus Van Sant-style remake meant to cause meltdowns?

John Krasinski is a perfect human being, and here are 20 reasons why:
1. He gifted us with one of the most realistic yet fairytale-like TV romances (all hail Jam!)
"I bought the boat tickets the day I saw that YouTube video. I knew we'd need a backup plan. The boat was actually plan C. The church was plan B. And plan A was marring her a long, long time ago. Pretty much the day I met her."
2. But that's not the only thing that made Jim Halpert God's gift to mankind.
3. He's also a spectacular pranksman in real life:
4. He doesn't wait till Movember.

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the third announced earlier today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on ABC.
The network is changing up some of its serialized dramas - removing random repeats in favor of two "uninterrupted runs" of twelve episodes each (one in the fall, one in the spring) for shows like "Once Upon A Time," "Grey’s Anatomy," "Scandal" and "Revenge". The large gaps between the two half-seasons will be bridged by "limited series" designed around only 12-13 episode seasons.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't be seen including the high-profile "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" rip-off "Gothica", McG's rip-off of Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" entitled "Westside", the series based on Disneyland's Big Thunder Mountain ride, the Annie Potts-led "Murder in Manhattan" about »

Robert Rodriguez’s El Rey Network has confirmed that the company will partner up with Univision on a number of forthcoming television projects. Fans of Rodriguez, or more specifically his brilliantly bonkers intense crime-thriller come violent vampire rampage From Dusk Til Dawn (which he directed from a screenplay by frequent friend and collaborator Quentin Tarantino), will be happy to learn the Titty Twister will reopen for bloodsucking business!
The 1996 genre bending cult classic made a superstar of George Clooney, with the film being the actors first role following his exit from hit series ER. Tarantino too, gave his best ever performance in the film as Clooney’s sadist brother Richard. However, the films success saw two Stv sequels fail to recapture the winning formula.
Are you excited at the prospect of a series based on the franchise? Do let us know!

Playwright Tracy Letts is one hell of a talent. Three of his plays have been made into movies, two of which were favorites of many fans of this site.

Next up is August: Osage County which features one of the biggest casts I have seen in a long time. Directed by ER producer John Wells, August: »

"The Michael J. Fox Show" is helping bring back the family comedy to NBC. The series stars Fox as Mike Henry, a news anchor with Parkinson's, who goes back to work thanks to some pushing from his family, particularly his wife Anne, played by Betsy Brandt.
"I was just excited when I heard he had a show because I love him and I want to watch him," Brandt said of her co-star. "I think he's one of the funniest people on TV ever -- such a gifted actor and also such a great guy. There are not enough good things to say about him."
The actress is going from the dark world of "Breaking Bad" to the comedy world thought up by Fox, "Cougar Town's" Sam Laybourne and "Easy A" veteran Will Gluck, but Brandt said it was an easy transition.
