'American Horror Story' and 'The Big Bang Theory' lead Critics' Choice TV Award nominees

22 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

The third annual Critics' Choice Television Awards features what is becoming the awards' signature mix of no-brainer and under-the-radar nominees.

So while "Breaking Bad" and "Homeland" are nominated for best drama series, so is "The Americans." The best comedy nominees include "The Big Bang Theory" and "Louie," but also "The Middle."

"Big Bang" and "American Horror Story: Asylum" lead the nominees with six apiece. "Parks and Recreation" and Sundance's miniseries "Top of the Lake" have five each. There were a couple of surprise omissions too: "Mad Men" was shut out of the best drama nominees, and of the cast only Elisabeth Moss scored an acting nomination. Ditto for "Modern Family" on the comedy side; Sarah Hyland was the only cast member nominated.

The Critics' Choice Television Awards are set for June 10. "Parks and Rec's" Retta will serve as host.

Here's the full list of nominees:

Enjoy Today with These First Images from The Tomorrow People

18 May 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

The fact that The CW's new series "The Tomorrow People" is providing a regular home for the wonderful Mark Pellegrino is reason enough to give it a shot, but it will also be interesting to see if lightning can strike twice for the Amell family - on the same night.

Check out the first stills and a promo photo, and look for a premiere date announcement soon.

Series Synopsis:

They are the next evolutionary leap of mankind, a generation of humans born with paranormal abilities — the Tomorrow People. Stephen Jameson stands at the crossroads between the world we know and the shifting world of the future. Up until a year ago, Stephen was a “normal” teenager — until he began hearing voices and teleporting in his sleep, never knowing where he might wake up. Now, Stephen’s issues have gone far beyond the usual teenage angst, and he is beginning to question his sanity. »

The CW Releases Clips for The Tomorrow People, The Originals, The 100, and Star-crossed

16 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

The CW has long been one of the best supporters of Our Kind of Shows, and at this year’s Upfronts they put even more money where our hearts are. Of the six new shows announced for the fall and winter schedule, four are for us: The Originals, The Tomorrow People, The 100, and Star-Crossed. Now of course more than one has that trademark The CW soap opera-ish spin on it, but hey, not Every show is for every one of us.

Here to assist in our prejudging are synopses for all, via Deadline, and maybe even better, clips and/or TV spots. There’s not really anything new for The Originals, but fans will want to see it all again anyway. The Tomorrow People features the wonderful Mark Pellegrino so it’s my favorite of the four.

The 100 (pronounced “the hundred”, not “the one hundred”) has an encouraging clip, »

However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined.

New 2013 TV Season Breakdown: The CW

16 May 2013 11:43 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fifth and final one announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on The CW.

After targeting teen girls for so long, The CW has widened their demographic focus and in the process have improved their fortunes with three of their five new shows from last year returning. One in particular, "Arrow," has been a big hit for them. As a result this year's line-up sticks heavily with genre fare - sci-fi, supernatural, and even a period piece.

The network's troubled "Nikita" has scored a six episode third season order to wrap up its story lines, no word on when those episodes will air just yet. In fact, specific premiere dates for all their shows have yet to be set.

'The Crazy Ones' preview: Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar team up in new CBS comedy

15 May 2013 5:14 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Working in advertising is tough. Working with your dad? Also tough. Working with your dad when your dad is Robin Williams? Tougher still. Welcome to "The Crazy Ones."

The new fall CBS comedy, from executive producer David E. Kelly, boasts two of the 2013-14 season's most impressive casting achievements in the form of Williams, returning to series TV for the first time since "Mork and Mindy," and Sarah Michelle Gellar, giving comedy a try after her first attempt at a post-"Buffy" comeback, The CW's "Ringer," proved a flop.

"The Crazy Ones," one of CBS' forays into the world of single-camera comedies this fall, centers around the father-daughter duo of Simon Roberts (Williams) and Sydney (Gellar). Simon, the head of a powerful advertising agency, is unorthodox, unpredictable, larger-than-life ... basically, he's Robin Williams. Sydney is his exact opposite, often finding herself playing the parent in the relationship. The cast is rounded »

USA’s Drama Palette Adds Darker Shades

They are young, good-looking and in the business of hunting bad guys under Southern California’s sunny skies.

Sound like the ingredients for a USA Network drama series? Sure — until “Graceland” opens with an undercover federal agent pretending to shoot up heroin as part of a drug bust.

USA is very deliberately trying to move a few yards out of its blue-sky comfort zone with its latest original drama. The ensembler toplined by Broadway vet Aaron Tveit and “Rescue Me’s” Daniel Sunjata revolves around a clutch of top law enforcement agents who live in a fancy beach house.

The tone is a little darker than USA’s signature dramas (think “Burn Notice,” “White Collar” and “Suits”), which tend to blend action with a lighter touch of romance or buddy comedy. The characters in “Graceland” are a little less charming than on other USA fare, and most notably, there’s »
