Deconstructing the decade from 'Buffy' and beyond: Zap2it Hanh's favorite episodes

25 December 2009 10:30 AM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Zap2it's favorite TV episodes of the decade series continues with my picks for what moved me in the 2000s.

Let me preface my list with a shout out to my colleague Rick, who kicked off the series with numerous excellent examples, ranging from "The Wire" to "Freaks and Geeks." I actually agreed with quite a number of his selections, but since this is a very personal endeavor, full of unfounded opinions, naturally I must include some episodes I feel he overlooked or at least didn't value as much as I.

Case in point: Joss Whedon. Really, Rick? How could an episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" not even make your main list and only warrant an "also" mention? Hmph.

My list:

"The Body" ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer")

Although "Hush" and its creepy Gentlemen freaked me out (and earned "Buffy" its only writing Emmy nom), it aired in December 1999, just »

Maura Tierney on come back from cancer treatment

22 December 2009 12:00 PM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Maura Tierney, 44, is making a good recovery from treatment for breast cancer. The ER actress was forced to resign from her stint on NBC's Parenthood to undergo treatment and will return to her role in Rescue Me, said producer Peter Tolan. Tierney was replaced on Parenthood by Lauren Graham of Gilmore Girls fame. Tolan said: 'We are just about finished writing the entire sixth season, which is about 10 episodes, and then there are nine more [for Season 7] so we know we're going to bring back Maura Tierney, because we loved her and she loved us, which is even more fulfilling. She can take care of herself and come back.' Tierney will begin shooting »

TV bites: Kelly Bishop has 'Mercy,' Jeff Probst will 'Live for the Moment'

18 December 2009 11:32 AM, PST | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Former "Gilmore Girls" star Kelly Bishop will check into NBC's "Mercy" later this season.

The Tony Award winner will play a patient under Sonia's (Jaime Lee Kirchner) care in several episodes of the medical drama, NBC confirms to Zap2it. The network hasn't set an airdate for the start of her arc yet.

Bishop is best known for playing the prickly Gilmore matriarch Emily on "Gilmore Girls" for seven seasons (and before that, probably for being Baby's mom in "Dirty Dancing"). More recently she's guested on episodes of "Law & Order: Svu" and "Army Wives."

- "Survivor" finishes its fall run Sunday and will be back on the air sometime early next year, but fans of host Jeff Probst won't have to wait quite that long to see him on CBS again.

In blogging about Thursday's "Survivor: Samoa" for EW.com, Probst said that the network is airing a pilot for »

Exclusive: 'Gilmore' gal Kelly Bishop checks into 'Mercy'

16 December 2009 1:57 PM, PST | EW - Ausiello Files | See recent EW.com - The Ausiello Files news »

It's a Gilmore Girls mother-daughter reunion on NBC! Sources confirm to me exclusively that beloved Gilmore matriarch Kelly Bishop has booked a multi-episode arc on Mercy. She'll play a patient of Sonia's (Jamie Lee Kirchner) named Elaine. Where does the Gilmore reunion part come in, you ask? Well, Bishop's TV offspring, Lauren Graham, is also starring on a Peacock drama, Parenthood. And although Bishop's first airdate is Tbd, there's a good chance both actresses will be appearing on NBC at the same time. And in my book* that constitutes a reunion. * Bending the Truth to Achieve Higher Page Views is »

Promo Videos for 'Parenthood'

9 December 2009 7:59 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

March may seem like a long ways off, but its closer than you think, and it's when NBC will finally roll out their new dramedy Parenthood which stars Craig T Nelson, Bonnie Bedelia, Lauren Graham, and funnyman Dax Shepherd, just to name a few.  Below is an overview of Parenthood as well as some new promotional clips of the show.

"Parenthood" is a one-hour drama inspired by the box-office comedy hit of the same name.  This re-imagined and updated NBC Universal Media Studios/Imagine Television production introduces audiences to the very large, very colorful and imperfect Braverman family.

All Allison wants for Festivus

9 December 2009 7:02 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

The Festivus season is upon us, and the spirits of joy and viewing visit TV Squad, giving us a chance to make our media wishes known. Oh, the wonder of a TV world of my own making. If only the Festivus wishes I make will come true. Yes, Allison, there is a Festivus! And so, my TV wishes:

-- Last year I wished for Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman Palladino to get another shot at TV after the horrible Jezebel James. Well, she's got a deal with HBO. Good for her. Now, for me, let's get her to write and film the finale for Rory and Lorelai and Luke and Star's Hollow that she intended for Gg. It's time to do it now while all the principals are still active. The Mary Tyler Moore reunion with Rhoda came two decades too late.

First look at Lauren Graham on NBC's Parenthood

9 December 2009 6:34 AM, PST | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Parenthood was supposed to be one of NBC's fall shows this year. They really could have used it too, since it's actually good, and "good" seems to be in short supply at NBC these days. However, star Maura Tierney had to stop filming early on due to health reasons. Eventually she needed to leave the cast permanently, and re-shoots had to be done with her replacement, Gilmore Girls' Lauren Graham.

NBC has just released the first two promos for Parenthood, which is now premiering in March, after the Olympics. The first one features Graham as Sarah, a single mom to two difficult teenagers. Her daughter is played by Arrested Development's Mae Whitman. It's a short clip, but it's a pretty good indication of the character, which is basically what would have happened to Lorelai Gilmore if Rory hadn't turned out so perfect.

Welcome to Parenthood, Lauren Graham

30 November 2009 3:26 PM, PST | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »

Lauren Graham replaced Maura Tierney on NBC's new Parenthood because of the ER alum's battle with cancer. Now the network is offering a first look at the 42-year-old Graham's take on the role of Sarah Braverman, one of the key players on the new series.

Maura Tierney leaves Parenthood to accommodate cancer treatment

The scene is one that Tieney also performed before her departure from the series — which gives audiences a rare chance to compare two top-notch actresses playing the same part, and wonder what might have been if Tierney had been able to stay with the series.

Gilmore Girls: Series Creator Not Happy with Ending, Still Hoping for a Movie

17 November 2009 10:53 AM, PST | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »

If you're a fan of Gilmore Girls, the dramatic series that starred Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel, you might be happy to know that series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino hasn't given up on her plan to make a movie.

EW's Michael Ausiello has had a mini (major, actually) obsession over the idea for sometime and recently re-grilled Sherman-Palladino about the possibility.

The show creator, who left the year before the show ended, isn't happy with the way the series finished in her absence, though she admits she's never actually watched it either. She says, "I wanted different things for Rory... I wanted her to follow a different sort of path… [go] off on her own adventure, which I guess she sort of did. I haven't [actually] seen the last season, but I heard about it from other people."

Amy Sherman-Palladino hints at Gilmore Girls movie

17 November 2009 1:27 AM, PST | GordonandtheWhale | See recent GordonandtheWhale news »

Yes, I am a heterosexual male, but I have a confession to make: I love me some “Gilmore Girls.” There, I said it and I feel better. I put the series off for many years, despite its critical acclaim, because I wasn’t sure I’d have much in common with a fast-talking mother-daughter duo, but that changed when a friend forced her DVD sets on me.

Gilmore on big screen?

16 November 2009 10:18 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

  I have to admit I never watched a single episode of the WB/CW show "Gilmore Girls", but I did hear good things about it and since it's one of the shows that carried the smaller of four networks, I'm guessing there's a few fans of it in here. Show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino wasn't a fan of the last season though, having left the show by then. So her own vision of how it should've ended never got realized, and she won't say what it is because "If there is a movie »
