Warehouse 13 is Sci-Fi’s newest product that they’re giving a lot of advertising support to.
Sitting around watching the Sci-Fi (Soon to be SyFY) Channel I’ve noticed that the network is doing what they do best and that’s pummel the viewers with ads about the show repeatedly.
Warehouse 13 is about two Secret Service agents played by Eddie McClintock (Bones) and Joanne Kelly (Vanished, The Dresden Files) who get themselves transferred to a massive top-secret warehouse located in South Dakota.
The warehouse stores odd and strange artifacts that have been collected by the U.S. government. Think about it like that giant warehouse we saw at the end of the first Indiana Jones movie when they took the ark to a storage facility.
The warehouse is run by Artie, played by Saul Rubinek. He’s the one that sends the agents out to retrieve purported artifacts

The American remake of the U.K. '90s sitcom, "Absolutely Fabulous," is scrapped. Fox has decided to abandon the plans to order for a full season after making the pilot episode.
Online reports are saying that the remake of the BBC show have been scrapped after Fox wondered if the show would click with the American audience.
The show was supposed to be headlined by "Crossing Jordan" actress Kathryn Hahn and "3rd Rock from the Sun" star Kristen Johnson as the fashion-obsessed friends. The roles were originally played by Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley.
Saunders and Christine Zanders were credited as executive producer.

Last week, NBC and 16 million viewers said goodbye to the venerable medical drama, ER. This week, the network debuted a new show co-produced by ER's John Wells. So, how did Southland stack up?
Southland is police drama that's billed as a raw and authentic look at Los Angeles as seen through the eyes of the men and women of the Lapd. In the pilot, we meet John Cooper (Standoff's Michael Cudlitz), a seasoned and no-nonsense cop who's assigned to guide a young rookie named Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie from The O.C.). Others in the cast include Regina King (Leap of Faith), Tom Everett Scott (Grace Under Fire), Michael McGrady (Day Break), Kevin Alejandro (Shark), Shawn Hatosy (Felicity), and Arija Bareikis (Crossing Jordan).
NBC certainly needs a hit and hasn't had much luck lately with the likes of Kings and The Chopping Block. It appears however that the peacock

We were forced to say goodbye to several veterans of the TV shows from the past. Some are well known to the public and some are not. Either way, the medium of television wouldn't be the same without their contributions.
They include Ron Silver (Chicago Hope, Law & Order, Crossing Jordan, Rhoda, and The West Wing), Alan Livingston (creator of Bozo The Clown), Morton Lachman (The Red Skelton Show, Sanford, All In The Family, Gimme A Break, and Kate & Allie), Millard Kaufman (Mister Magoo), Harry Harris (Fame, Gunsmoke, Kung Fu, Lost In Space, Hawaii Five-o, Falcon Crest, and 7th Heaven, and Andy Hallett (Angel, Buffy The Vampire Slayer). Here are the details...
Ron Silver, 62, passed away on March 15th after a two-year battle with esophageal cancer. A veteran of many movies (Reversal Of Fortune) and Broadway plays (Speed the Plow), television audiences know the talented actor from Chicago Hope, Law & Order,

Lost</i>" style="margin:0 5px 5px" />Lost's Michael Emerson had warned TVGuide.com readers that moments would come along this season where you leap off the sofa and shout, "They can't do that! Can they...?" One such shocker expelled from Sayid's gun and landed in a young Benjamin Linus' chest at the end of last week's episode. Sterling Beaumon, 13, shared with us a look at how that blast in the past may change Ben's future. Or not.
TVGuide.com: I know you've done episodes of ER, Heroes and Bones. But was Lost your first death scene?
Sterling Beaumon: No, actually. I was on Crossing Jordan and I had to lie on a coroner's table for almost the whole episode. And on ER, I died in the end, with a tumor in my brain....
TVGuide.com: Of course, my question presumes that Young Ben died from Sayid's gunshot. Might that not be the case?

HBO's vampire drama True Blood has just gotten a little hotter. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Cuban-American actress Valerie Cruz has signed on to play an "elegant Hispanic vampire" named Isabel on the new season.
Dexter fans will recognize Cruz as having played Syvia Prado on the Showtime series, but she's also made appearances in several other television shows, including Nip/Tuck, Crossing Jordan and an episode of Grey's Anatomy.
This is a great move for Cruz, whose most recent film The Devil's Tomb (with costars Cuba Gooding Jr. and Taryn Manning) is going straight to DVD this May.
Where will she fit in among Sookie (Anna Paquin), Tara (Rutina Wesley) and the other vampiresses of Bon Temps? It's interesting that her character description includes that she's supposed to be "elegant" — I assume this means she won't be working as a waitress at Merlotte's.
How do you think Isabel will fit into True Blood?

In this edition of Gays Of Our Lives, we introduce “In The Spotlight,” a new recurring feature where we examine in depth a particular series, character or storyline of gay interest.
First up, Casualty’s Dr. Toby De Silva, played by Matthew Needham, who bid goodbye this past week to the long running BBC medical series after a story arc during which the character struggled not only with his sexuality, but with his decision to become a doctor as well.
When Toby first joined the show in September 2007, his conflict over whether or not to be a doctor was quickly apparent as we learned that his overbearing parents had forced him into medicine. And while his relationships with women were rare, fleeting and usually disastrous, there hadn’t been much of an inkling regarding Toby being gay – at least not until he was found in bed with Ben Harding (Mark Letheren
