14 hours ago | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Did Save Me have you shouting hallelujah?
NBC’s newest comedy premiered Thursday (8/7c) with two back-to-back episodes. In them, we meet Beth Harper (played by Anne Heche, Men in Trees), a Midwestern wife and mother who has a near-death experience in her kitchen after choking on a hero sandwich.
When she’s revived, she claims to be able to receive messages from God. This mortifies her daughter Emily (Madison Davenport, Shameless) and stymies Beth’s husband Tom (Michael Landes, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman)… who’s got a different kind of religious moment happening on the regular »

Are we really in a 'second golden age for television'?
23 hours ago | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Steven Soderbergh is the latest Hollywood director to praise TV over film, but this second coming of great drama, including The Sopranos, The Wire and Spooks, may already be over
Cinema has historically considered itself superior to television, with executives and critics frequently sneering that a movie or documentary has a "made-for-tv" feel. But a number of significant Hollywood film-makers – including David Lynch, Steven Spielberg and Oliver Stone – have moved to the junior medium for mini-series or documentaries and now Steven Soderbergh has paid a compliment, if a slightly qualified one, to home entertainment. "In terms of cultural real estate," Soderbergh said at the Cannes film festival, "TV has really taken control of the conversation that used to be the reserve of movies. It's sort of a second golden age of television, which is great for the viewers. … If you like your stories to go narrow and deep, TV is exciting. »

Now and Then: Obituary for 'The Big C,' Starring Luminous Laura Linney
22 May 2013 9:18 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Cathy Jamison was a brave bitch. Through four seasons of Showtime's "The Big C," which ended its run Monday, she suffered the indignities of metastatic melanoma, chemotherapy, brain tumors, hospice, and bad insurance, yet remained steadfast in her belief that "surviving" and "living" do not necessarily amount to the same thing. She will be missed. I'm not spoiling anything by telling you that Cathy eventually succumbed to the disease. Her death was not a plot point. It was, rather, the series' structuring logic: creator Darlene Hunt's sardonic comedy of cancer thrived not on the hope for miracles but on the certainty of death. "Your insides are dying, too," Cathy tells a mall worker who makes a ham-handed effort to sympathize with her plight. "Right now. Every day." A brave bitch -- her words, not mine -- indeed. Like the other women of premium cable in recent years (Nancy Botwin, »

‘The Kings Of Summer’ Red Band Trailer Released
21 May 2013 9:40 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The redband trailer for coming-of-age comedy The Kings Of Summer has arrived and it promises a heap of laughs, inappropriate jokes and teenagers living in the moment. The Kings Of Summer sees three teenagers sick of their parents trying to run their lives make a bid for freedom for a summer they will never forget. Hiding out in a custom made tree house in the woods they take control of their own destiny and fend for themselves for the first time.
Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, who premiered the film at Sundance 2013, has said he was inspired to make the movie by his favourite childhood movies; those from Amblin Films and the quintessential coming-of-age movie Stand By Me. The homage to the later is apparent even in this trailer; a portrayal of the transition to adulthood that is both genuine and funny.

Series finale review: 'The Big C: Hereafter'
21 May 2013 7:47 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Showtime's "The Big C" — or, specifically, the concluding miniseries titled "The Big C: Hereafter" — came to an end last night, and I have a few thoughts coming up just as soon as you don't take cash... "The Big C" was a show that I initially admired but didn't like (because Cathy's insistence on keeping her cancer a secret seemed insane to me), then one I grew to like but not love (because she told her family, but the series still had a certain smugness to it that can be endemic to Showtime's half-hour series), and then one I simply »

Omg TV Moments: Bates Motel's Shocking Finale Death, Hawaii Five-0's Emotional Exit and More!

Spoiler alert! We're about to dig into the biggest, most jaw-dropping moments from Monday night's TV. If you haven't yet watched a particular show, and don't want to be spoiled, skip to the next post!Bates Motel: Oh. My. Bates! Norman (Freddie Highmore) killed again in the A&E breakout hit's season finale. His victim? Miss Watson, the teacher who drove him home from the school dance, after he had one of his visions of his mother, Norma (Vera Farmiga). But that wasn't the only major shocker to go down in the hour: We learned that Norma was molested by her brother when she was younger, and Romero (Nestor Carbonell) killed Jake Abernathy.

'The Big C' series finale: 'Go get 2 forks' ... and some tissues, please
20 May 2013 9:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"The Big C" brought Cathy Jamison's journey (not "battle") with cancer to a close Monday night (May 20) with the fourth hour of "Hereafter," the shortened Season 4 that wrapped everything up.
The course of "Hereafter" obviously did not run smooth for Cathy, but it was such a beautiful look at someone dealing with the last year of her life. In the final chapter, Cathy came home, since insurance would not pay for her to stay in hospice any longer, and she struggled with wanting to end things on her own terms.
We're glad the show didn't go that way. It's not that assisted suicide would have been an outrage, but it didn't feel right for Cathy and Sean. Plus, if she'd gone too early she wouldn't have had that day with her father and Adam's graduation.
Yes, both those things were giant tearjerkers, particularly Adam working his butt off to graduate »

'The Big C' Postmortem: Cathy Was 'Lucky and Unlucky at the Same Time'
20 May 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
[Warning: This story contains spoilers from the series finale of Showtime's The Big C.] It's over for Cathy Jamison. After four seasons, Showtime's cancer dramedy The Big C ended its run Monday with its fourth and final episode in Hereafter. Cathy's (Emmy nominee Laura Linney) journey progressed from celebrating life once she was diagnosed with cancer, to anger, bargaining, depression and finally acceptance, when she made the life-altering decision to quit chemotherapy. This year, executive producers Darlene Hunt and Jenny Bicks used four hourlong episodes to tell what they said were four slices of Cathy's journey to tell --

‘The Big C’ Finale Airs On Showtime Tonight
20 May 2013 5:23 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
Ray Richmond contributes to Deadline’s TV coverage. Showtime and the producers of The Big C end Cathy Jamison’s personal cancer saga in hospice care tonight with its fourth and Hereafter season finale. Executive producer and showrunner Jenny Bicks naturally declined to divulge whether Cathy (Laura Linney) dies tonight, though she and fellow exec producer Darlene Hunt co-wrote. The mini-series’ four last episodes span a year in the life of the lead character, each separated by roughly three months. The finale follows Angelina Jolie’s shocking May 14 announcement that she had undergone a preventive double mastectomy, which spurred a slew of press calls to Showtime and the Big C team. Bicks, herself an early-stage breast cancer survivor, told Deadline. “It has really drawn attention to us in a way we couldn’t have anticipated,” she said. “I hope we’ve done something to help more people recognize that cancer »

After four seasons, Laura Linney bids farewell to Cathy Jamison, her alter ego for 40 episodes on Showtime's The Big C, which over the course of its run put the spotlight on the courageous struggles of those who have faced cancer and the loved ones sharing in the journey. During the series, Cathy has endured ups (remission) and downs (her tumors returned and were growing) in addition to meeting a slew of people who shared in her emotional and physical journey (Phyllis Somerville's Marlene and Hugh Dancy's Lee, among others). But it's been the interaction with fans, especially those from

Dana Ivey, Not Maggie Smith
8 May 2013 8:14 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
From originating the titular role in the stage version of "Driving Miss Daisy" to playing a key part in "The Addams Family" films, there's quite a lot of variety on Dana Ivey's resume.
The 71-year-old Georgia native has had more than 30 film roles and appeared in close to two dozen TV shows, which makes her a perfect subject for "Isn't That ... ?," a new HuffPost feature highlighting those character actors you recognize from a variety of projects, but don't know much else about.
The five-time Tony-nominated Ivey will appear in one of the final episodes of "The Big C" as a fellow cancer patient of Cathy's (Laura Linney). "I was thrilled to be asked to be on it," Ivey said in a phone interview with HuffPost. "It's such a good show. I've been watching it since the beginning and DVRing it and watching every episode. I just love it. I »

'Borgias' canceled? Season 4 may morph into two hour finale special
7 May 2013 6:50 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Showtime's soapy historical drama "The Borgias" could be headed for a premature end after three seasons.
Deadline is reporting that Showtime is currently leaning toward scrapping a planned Season 4 of the show in favor of a two hour wrap-up movie instead. While four full seasons would match the run of "Borgias" unofficial predecessor "The Tudors," Showtime recently transformed the fourth and final season of "The Big C" into a limited series of four one hour episodes.
Series creator Neil Jordan indicated "Borgias" could be headed for a similar fate earlier this year in an interview with U.K.'s Broadcast.
"['Borgias' has] gone on for three years and there's only four years in it," Jordan said. "At the moment, we're discussing it with Showtime. I would like to finish it with a two-hour movie. Another 10 episodes is kind of exhausting. I've mapped out a movie, which, if they agree, will shoot in June with the same cast, »
