Stars: Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Fiona Gubelmann, Chris Klein Writer: David Baldy Director: Randall Einhorn Network: FX, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: July 28, 2011 After playing with some strange metaphors for the past few weeks, WILFRED returns to a plot that makes sense, at least within the general craziness of a show about a guy who imagines his neighbor’s dog as a man in a dog suit. “Conscience” is amusing without being a laugh riot – on the other hand, it doesn’t encompass a huge “ick” factor. Human Ryan (Elijah Wood) and canine Wilfred (Jason Gann) are both seriously […]Read On »

Stars: Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Fiona Gubelmann, Rashida Jones Writer: Michael Glouberman Director: Randall Einhorn Network: FX, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: July 21, 2011 One has to hand it to the writers of WILFRED. They consistently come up with roundabout, intricate ways for Elijah Wood’s character Ryan to learn important life lessons after being repeatedly manipulated and abused by his neighbor’s dog Wilfred (Jason Gann), who Ryan and only Ryan sees as an Australian man in a dog suit. Conceptually, the notion of Ryan being taught that he shouldn’t court the opinions of others, especially based on false pretenses, […]Read On »

On October 27, BEAVIS AND BUTT-HEAD returns to MTV and today at the network’s TCA session, creator Mike Judge revealed details about the dim-witted duo’s return. The original 1990s series had the characters (voiced  by Judge) make outrageous comments on music videos, this new version will tackle many of MTV’s TV series like JERSEY SHORE and 16 & PREGNANT, as well as movie reviews, “internet stuff and some UFC fights,” notes Judge. Music video wise, they will still make their comments on videos from such bands as Dead Mouse, MGMT and others. The big question though, is why bring them […]Read On »

Season 2 of SPARTACUS (dubbed SPARTACUS: VENGEANCE) is a half a year away from debuting, but creator and executive producer Steven S. DeKnight says the new season will outdo things that have already been seen in BLOOD & SAND and GODS OF THE ARENA. Part of this stems from the show getting out of the gladiator arena and sending the slaves on the run. “It’s exponentially more difficult and gigantic,” says DeKnight while speaking at today’s 2011 TCA session for Starz. “I ship the scripts off to [producer] Robert Tapert and dump a huge problem on his table. I’m always […]Read On »
