While most would agree that this past weekend's 'SNL' host Kevin Hart did an admirable job picking up where 'Django Unchained' star Christoph Waltz left off, this weekend 'SNL' really pulls out the big guns tapping five-time guest Justin Timberlake as both host and musical guest.

'Freaks and Geeks' Then and Now: The All-Star Cast Reunites After 12 Years

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 18:02:17 +0000

Many classic but cancelled series hold the distinction of featuring a number of A-list stars before making their big breaks, but few hold such a distinguished roster as Judd Apatow's cancelled 2000 NBC series 'Freaks and Geeks.' The retro series featured the likes of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Linda Cardellini, Lizzy Caplan, Busy Philipps, Martin Starr and even Thomas Wilson (Biff of 'Back to the Future'), despite only running 18 episodes. Twelve years later, are you ready to see the entire cast reunite?

NBC Keeps 'Ironside' Rolling with New Reboot

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 01:00:59 +0000

NBC may not have had much luck reviving 'The Munsters' into 'Mockingbird Lane' earlier this year, but if CBS can revive past shows like 'Hawaii Five-0' successfully, who's to stop NBC from trying again? The peacock has next gotten the ball rolling on rebooting '60s-era wheelchair-bound detective 'Ironside,' who was famously forced to find alternative methods of fighting crime after being left paralyzed from the waist down. Who might be ready to take the chair as the new 'Ironside?'

'SNL': Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Renner to Host

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:47:29 +0000

See? Everything gets better when the storm is over. In spite of all the many weather-related cancellations, earlier we learned that Louis C.K. would indeed go on to host 'SNL' this weekend with musical guest Fun., but what of future hosts? It seems the next two weeks are set as well, with returning host Anne Hathaway, and first-timer Jeremy Renner! So what musical guests will accompany them?

What's The Big 'Mockingbird Lane' Twist That's Totally Irrelevant Now?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 01:45:52 +0000

We have to admit, we're fairly disappointed that NBC and Bryan Fuller's 'Munsters' reboot 'Mockingbird Lane' isn't likely to continue beyond its special Halloween airing of the show's pilot. Campy and re-hashing a premise though it might have seemed to begin with, once NBC released the first full photos and even a trailer we started to see how the tone actually seemed to work for the series. So while October 26 will see the pilot airing and likely closing out the show's run, what twist do new photos introduce for the series going forward?

NBC's 'Hannibal' Casts Gina Torres as Laurence Fishburne's Wife

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 16:45:10 +0000

Well, that certainly won't be a stretch. As NBC's Bryan Fuller-adapted 'Hannibal' continues casting toward its mid-season 2013 premiere, the core roster of characters around the good Dr. Lecter seems more and more intriguing. We've known for sometime that former 'The Matrix' and 'CSI' star Laurence Fishburne would take the role of FBI director Jack Crawford, but now we've learned he'll get to star opposite his own wife! Who will former 'Firefly' and current 'Suits' star Gina Torres play in the 'Hannibal' universe?

NBC 'Munsters' Reboot 'Mockingbird Lane' Confirmed to Air As Halloween Special

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 14:45:23 +0000

Well, we may not be able to see how 'The Munsters' get reborn as 'Mockingbird Lane' on a weekly basis, but at least we'll get to see what Bryan Fuller came up with for the pilot. Having already sunk over $10 million into the project, NBC seems to have made the official decision not to move forward with Fuller's 'Mockingbird Lane,' instead airing the pilot as a spooky Halloween special. When will the episode air, and will that be curtains for the project?

NBC Renews 'The Voice' for Fifth and Sixth Seasons

Nick Romano — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 20:36:51 +0000

Although NBC's hit competitive reality talent show 'The Voice' didn't win any Emmys this year, losing the award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Show to CBS's 'Amazing Race,' at least it was nominated. And it doesn't mean the Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton-coached series lacks a decent fan base. It doesn't, and the recent announcement from NBC that 'The Voice' is getting renewed for both a fifth and sixth season is proof of that.

"Revolution" TV Series Has Erin McCarty Shopping for Survival Gear

Robert and Erin — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:01:47 +0000

The new TV show Revolution on NBC has me hooked! The network hasn’t had much success with recent shows, but this one might change things for the Peacock people.

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:00:05 +0000

Like a high school football team, seasons of 'Saturday Night Live' always feel somewhat bittersweet given the notion that sooner or later the best players will have have to throw in the towel and move on. All summer long we've been worried that 'SNL' would lose a third heavyweight alongside Andy Samberg and Kristen Wiig, but has Jason Sudeikis finally made up his mind about leaving? Will we hold onto his political impressions for one more season?

Jeff Giles — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:21:17 +0000

‘The Voice’ hasn’t even started its second season yet, but rumors are already flying about the show’s third season — specifically, that Christina Aguilera was in danger of being fired from her position as one of the competition’s coaches.

Xtina fans can breathe a sigh of relief, however because a network spokesperson has refuted the rumors, and it sounds like her chair at the judge’s table is safe.

NBC golf commentators have apologized for a big oops that has people fired up and very angry with the network.

At age 89, Betty White isn't showing any signs of slowing down just yet.

About a year after she famously hosted 'Saturday Night Live,' the multiple Emmy-winning TV star will return to NBC for a new hidden-camera show, tentatively titled 'Betty White’s Off Their Rockers,' in which senior citizens "make it their mission to play pranks on unsuspecting younger people."
