While HBO’s GAME OF THRONES – which ends its first season tonight at 9 PM – closely follows the plotlines, characterizations and dialogue of George R.R. Martin’s novel of the same name, the series is run by its executive producers David Benioff and D.B. (Dan) Weiss. Did Martin have qualms about giving up control? “Yeah, to some extent,” the novelist acknowledges in Part 2 of this interview. “I use the analogy it’s a little like sending your kids off to school. They’re your kids and you’ve had them since they were born and you’ve been in total charge of them […]Read On »

Many SOUTH PARK fans were a bit perplexed and concerned by Season 15’s spring finale “You’re Getting Old” which featured Stan turning into a “cynical ***hole” on his tenth birthday and ending with the divorce of his parents. Many thought this was the end of SOUTH PARK as we know it – and considering creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were Broadway sensations with BOOK OF MORMON (and took home a slew of Tony’s last week too), there could have been some truth to this. However, not only did both Parker and Stone thank SOUTH PARK fans upon accepting their […]Read On »

In Hallmark Channel’s original movie ROCK THE HOUSE (which airs tonight), lawyer Max, played by Jack Coleman, finds a way to reconnect with his daughter and his old sense of joy when he gets back together with his music-making friends from his teenaged years.

Lately, he’s had a recurring role on THE OFFICE as a Senator dating Angela (Angela Kinsey) who may be […]Read On »

George R.R. Martin’s novels in his A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE series about the mythical kingdom of Westeros are each almost the size of a piece of furniture. The saga of the battle for the crown is now being played out on HBO’s GAME OF THRONES, which concludes its first season Sunday night at 9 PM. The series was picked up for a second season almost immediately after its first episode premiered. Martin says he is among those who are surprised that his huge tome – the HBO show takes its name from the first volume – was brought […]Read On »

FLASHPOINT is a series that is not only filmed in Toronto, it’s actually set in Toronto. The show concerns a Canadian SWAT team, which provides Canadians with a homegrown action drama and Americans with a window into how our northern neighbors handle violent crime and hostage situations. In one of those odd international scheduling situations, Season Four of FLASHPOINT began earlier in June in CTV, while in the U.S., Season Three is concluding on CBS tonight. This makes discussing spoilers a somewhat tricky issue for leading man Enrico Colantoni, who stars in the series as Sgt. Gregory Parker. Toronto native […]Read On »
