Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Travis Aaron Wade, Michelle Morgan, Richard de Klerk Writer: Jenny Klein, series created by Eric Kripke Director: John Badham Network: The CW, Wednesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: March 18, 2015 Sooner or later, most action TV series have the old Army buddy episode. This would seem to be difficult on SUPERNATURAL, since neither Sam (Jared Padalecki) nor Dean (Jensen Ackles) has served. Furthermore, with all the flashbacks we’ve seen, it’s getting harder and harder to bring in any significant past relationships we don’t already know about. Castiel, of course, has served as part of […]Read On »

In NBC’s THE SLAP, Thursdays at 10 PM, a family get-together in Brooklyn erupts when the father of one little boy slaps another child, not his own, for recklessly waving around a baseball bat. The incident has long-lasting repercussions. The eight-part miniseries, adapted by Jon Robin Baitz and Walter F. Parkes from an Australian miniseries that was in turn based on a novel by Christos Tsiolkas, shows each episode from a different character’s point of view. Zachary Quinto (Mr. Spock in the new STAR TREK films and Sylar on NBC’s HEROES) had coincidentally just produced the nonfiction series THE CHAIR, […]Read On »

After a midseason hiatus, Fox’s BONES is back for the second half of its tenth season on Thursdays at 8 PM. The long-lived series celebrated its 200th episode – which aired right before winter break – by departing from its usual storylines about forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and her crime-solving partner/husband, FBI Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) and giving the regular cast roles in a playful one-hour ‘50s Hitchcock-style murder mystery. Michaela Conlin, who customarily plays artist and computer genius Angela Montenegro, portrayed an LAPD stenographer in “The 200th in the 10th.” She talks about the change of […]Read On »

ABC’s CASTLE is in its seventh season, Monday nights at 10 PM.

Penny Johnson Jerald, who has played Beckett’s boss, Captain Victoria Gates, since Season 4, is a big fan of a recent plot development that saw Castle becoming a New York private investigator.

The main set for CBS’ SCORPION, now in its first season Mondays at 9 PM and picked up for Season 2, looks pretty much the way you’d expect. The team of geniuses assembled by Walter O’Brien (based on the real-life person of the same name, played in the series by Elyes Gabel) operates out of a ramshackle warehouse space in downtown Los Angeles. When the Television Critics Association is invited for a tour of the interior built on a soundstage in Manhattan Beach, Calif., there are bare pipes and grimy windows galore, all carefully crafted by the production design department.
