Stars: Emily VanCamp, Madeleine Stowe, Henry Czerny, Josh Bowman, Nick Wechsler, Gabriel Mann, Ashley Madekwe, Christa B. Allen, Connor Paolo Writer: Sallie Patrick & Liz Tigelaar Director: Bobby Roth Network: ABC, Wednesday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: May 9, 2012 Remember that picture Lydia (Amber Valleta) found that had a long-haired Emily (Emily VanCamp) serving at a New Year’s Eve party? In “Legacy,” we get to see how that picture happened and what sets Emily (well, Amanda Clarke at that point) on her quest for REVENGE. It’s 2002 and Nolan (Gabriel Mann) is pulling Amanda out of a club. As it turns out, Amanda is a mess and hasn’t read her father’s journals […]Read On »

Stars: Donald Driver, Katherine Jenkins, William Levy, Maria Menounos, Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: May 15th, 2012 All I can say is …Wow! Tonight’s DANCING WITH THE STARS was a shocker to say the least. The couple who came in first went home!  Yes, you heard me right. Maria Menounos & Derek Hough were eliminated from DWTS, ending Hough’s chances of winning a record breaking fourth mirror ball trophy. However, his dismissal allows the possibility of pro Cheryl Burke, along with star William Levy, tying Hough’s record of three wins. Hough seemed unshaken when told their journey would […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: Clark Gregg chats about THE AVENGERS and his future with the franchise

In THE AVENGERS, most of the title characters – Robert Downey, Jr’s Tony Stark/Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers/Captain America and Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner/Hulk – have superpowers, while Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow and Jeremy Renner’s Clint Barton/Hawkeye have extraordinary fighting skills. S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury has Samuel Jackson’s awesome glower to keep the Avengers in line, but anyone watching THE AVENGERS or most of its predecessors – the two IRON MAN films and THOR – knows that the glue holding everything together is loyal, tenacious and calm Agent Phil Coulson, played by Clark Gregg. Gregg, […]Read On »

Stars: Debra Messing, Christian Borle, Megan Hilty, Katharine McPhee, Jack Davenport, Angelica Houston Writers: Theresa Rebeck Director: Michael Morris Network: NBC, airs Mondays Original Telecast: May 15, 2012 My biggest regret of the entire 2011-2012 TV season – sticking with NBC’s Broadway musical series SMASH to the bitter end. And it’s been a hard pill to swallow. It’s a show that started off strong, and then, through a series of bad decisions and one awful storyline after another, destroyed the show’s entire existence. The story was all about finding the right Marilyn Monroe for a new Broadway production – and […]Read On »

Stars: Donald Driver, Katherine Jenkins, William Levy, Maria Menounos Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: May 14th, 2012 Unbelievable is how I would describe tonight’s DANCING WITH THE STARS Semi Finals. No one received less than a nine and Bruno Tonioli was giving out tens like candy! By far the closest competition in DWTS history, it’s anyone’s game who will win at this point. The couples had two dances to deliver tonight and boy did they deliver! Maria Menounos & Derek Hough, again, scored a perfect 30, as did William Levy & Cheryl Burke. But right on their heels, […]Read On »
