18 hours ago | | See recent news »
In tradition of "The Amazing Race" finales, the fifteenth edition also took the final three teams back to the United States to compete for the ultimate prize. From Prague, Czech Republic, Cheyne and Megan; Brian and Ericka; as well as Sam and Dan hopped on the same plane to Las Vegas, Nevada where they explored the casinos, literally.
Once in Las Vegas, they had to find an Elvis with a clue inside a wedding chapel. They were then directed to The Mirage where they should perform the Road Block. One team member must stapled his or her way down The Mirage face first in order to get the next clue. Ericka actually finished first and was so far ahead the two others.
Inside Mirage, teams had to participate in a Cirque du Soleil-esque type of challenge where one team member was suspended with bungee cord and the other member had »

2 hours ago | | See recent news »
A teenager accused of murdering his younger brother told cops he was inspired by TV serial killer Dexter.
Andrew Conley, 17, is charged with strangling 10-year-old Conner Conley at their Indiana home late last month (28-29Nov09).
After committing the crime, Conley turned himself over to police officers and allegedly described in detail how he killed his brother to satisfy a "hunger" - likening himself to the killer played by Michael C. Hall in the hit series.
He reportedly told cops, "I had to.... like when people have something like they are hungry and there is a hamburger sitting there and they knew they had to have it."
Conley has pleaded not guilty to murder. »

23 hours ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Desperate Housewives troubled teen Danny Bolen (the polite Canadian actor Beau Mirchoff) has seen better days. At the end of the Nov. 29 episode, Danny was hospitalized after taking a fistful of pills. He's Ok, but he's insisting that the nurse call him Tyler, which is presumably his given name, from before his family went on the run. TVGuide.com spoke to Mirchoff about how Danny is involved in Sunday's plane-crash story line, who he'll befriend and/or romance and how long the Bolens will be sticking around.
TVGuide.com: How did things go so wrong for Danny?
Mirchoff: He's been on the run his whole life, he's never really had a solid friendship or long-lasting relationship...

"Dallas" Reboot Has Found It's Writer
1 hour ago | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Primetime soaps wouldn't be what they are now if it wasn't for the granddaddy of them all… Dallas.
A couple of months ago, we reported on the possibility of the Texan drama making a comeback to our television screens. This morning, The Hollywood Reporter announced that TNT, who is behind the nouveau Dallas 2.0, has hired Cynthia Cidre ("Cane", Mambo Kings) to write the pilot episode. TNT is keeping mum about plot details and want to see what Cidre brings to the table first before moving forward with the project.
The concept thrown around a couple of months ago would have had the revival to follow the exploits of John Ross Ewing III, the son of the evil J.R. Ewing and alcoholic Sue Ellen Ewing, and Christopher, Bobby and Pam Ewing's adopted son. No word on whether or not these elements will end up in the Cidre version of the show. »

The Polymath: J.J. Abrams Does Everything on His Shows, and Does Everything Well
1 hour ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
J.J. Abrams is a former actor (he was hilarious in Six Degrees of Separation) who also happens to direct, produce, write, and dream. We can't be too sorry he's focusing on his work behind the camera. If he hadn't, we might never have been formally introduced to Alias' Sydney Bristow, Fringe's Dr. Walter Bishop or any of Lost's fascinating ensemble of enigmas. TVGuide.com spoke to Abrams about the impact his shows have made, why he creates so many strong female characters, and who inspired him.

The Bookworms: Lost's Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have made appointment TV cerebral
1 hour ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Lost is one of the most influential shows on television, but also one of the most influenced. Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse (or "Darlton," as they're known to fans) have created a baffling, intensely seductive story that blends sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, romance, and more than a little comedy. You can probably guess both men are obsessive consumers of pop culture, from Star Wars to The Prisoner. But they're also well-read writers whose obsessions stretch from ancient mythology to Stephen King. Fans obsess over whether the show is rooted in Greek myth, the Old Testament, both, or something else entirely. TVGuide.com spoke to the pair about who inspired them, why they set an end date for the show, and how they created their own myths.

The Brand Manager: Dick Wolf's Family of Crime Dramas Took Advance Planning
1 hour ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Former advertising executive Dick Wolf got his start in television writing for shows likHill Street Blues and Miami Vice. But his greatest accomplishment is Law & Order, which mastered the TV-show-as-brand concept by cornering the market on cops-and-courts procedurals. (This year it ties Gunsmoke's record for longest-running scripted television program.) L&O laid the groundwork for two successor series: Law & Order: Svu and Law & Order: Criminal Intent. TVGuide.com spoke to Wolf about the germ of the idea that lead to his gritty TV empire. Also: What does Dick Wolf watch on TV?

The Humanist: Shonda Rhimes Hones In on Ethical, Moral Grey Areas
1 hour ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Shonda Rhimes wants her characters to feel like human beings — even if it makes them less likable. Rhimes revels in her characters' moral and ethical gray areas. In the first episode of Grey's Anatomy, the title character (Ellen Pompeo) goes binge-drinking before enjoying a one-night stand with a strange man. It didn't necessarily make her lovable, but it made her feel real. TVGuide.com spoke to Rhimes about how The West Wing and Buffy inspired her, her race-blind approach to casting and what she's learned about portraying lesbians on television.

The Perfectionist: Matthew Weiner Turns the World Mad
1 hour ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Long before he was an awards show darling at the helm of one of the most obsessively consumed shows on television, Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner was a bitter hater. "I think expressing myself changed [that], and realizing that it was all my problem, and that if I wanted my life to be different, it was up to me," Weiner says. His expression has become a smoke-filled, whiskey-soaked drama about capitalism, consumption, and careerism at their highest and lowest. It's an incisive look at American history, a titillating tale of sex and power, and a heartbreaking story of a doomed marriage. We chatted with Weiner about the enormous success of his show, what tips he took from his stint on The Sopranos, and TV becoming more powerful than movies...

The Groundbreaker: Shawn Ryan Searches for the Truth
1 hour ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Who would have guessed the man who created Vic Mackey began his career on My Two Dads? Shawn Ryan went on to create CBS' The Unit, and is now the executive producer of Fox's Lie to Me. But his biggest gift to television has been The Shield, which set the standard for basic cable drama and proved cable dramas could be not just as good as network shows, but better. The Shield paved the way for Mad Men, Damages, and Battlestar Galactica's basic cable-success, but Ryan insists that if his show hadn't, another would have. "Cable TV was ready to explode like that," he says. Ryan talked with us about The Shield's influence, the cable-drama boom, and how TV audiences have changed forever...

The Reporter: David Simon Creates Commentary Disguised as a Cop Drama on The Wire
1 hour ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
David Simon started out as a reporter, not a screenwriter. His street's-eye view of Baltimore inspired two successful books, Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets and The Corner. Both became TV shows focused on cops and the violence of the drug world. Simon's HBO series The Wire was even more ambitious. A social critique disguised as a cop drama, it offered a bleak picture of the American city, and Simon's views on how to save it. He was still reporting, but in a different way than ever before. We talked with Simon about different ways of breaking stories — those that are true, those that are fiction, and those that are both...

The Dramatist: How Aaron Sorkin Made Politics Entertaining
1 hour ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
With The West Wing, Aaron Sorkin made it cool to care about politics. Sorkin's band of quippy White House staffers and a president who was hard not to love helped him walk the line between politics and entertainment and score repeated Emmy wins. We chatted with Sorkin about his beloved political drama, why it struck a chord with viewers, and how a similar approach to melding Hollywood and Washington hurt his follow-up, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip...

The Opinionators: Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann
1 hour ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann are engaged in one of the most visible rivalries of the decade — a conflict that may be rooted more in their similarities than differences. Both talk show hosts are former straight news reporters who share not only a formula for talk-show success, but a mutual respect for Tom Snyder, whose 1970s talk show Tomorrow set the bar for thoughtful, entertaining talk. Olbermann and O'Reilly make our Players list for best epitomizing the transformation of news in the 2000s. While CNN ruled the '90s with an emphasis on breaking, opinion-free reports, The O'Reilly Factor helped Fox News become the cable news leader with a show that mixes reporting, reflection, and rampant editorializing. It's the same formula adopted by Olbermann's Countdown, which has led MSNBC's increased emphasis on opinion. Critics paint O'Reilly and Olbermann as blustery, cartoonish bloviators of the right and left, respectively, and take »

Batman and Robin did their Christmas shopping at Zayre

When I was a kid, the big department store in my area (Boston) was Zayre. Anyone else remember that chain?
Here's an interesting TV commercial for the stores. Apparently Batman and Robin shopped there. And not as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, they actually shopped as Batman and Robin, in their costumes. Yeah, I'm sure that didn't cause a ruckus.

Still Little Unity Between AFTRA And SAG
2 hours ago | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
With negotiations on new TV and movie labor contracts set to begin in less than 10 months, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and the Screen Actors Guild have yet to take formal steps to agree on joint bargaining with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, Daily Variety observed today (Monday). "We've had a lot of internal discussion about joint negotiations but we haven't formalized anything," AFTRA President Roberta Reardon told the trade publication. Reardon implied that AFTRA members may have some misgivings about teaming up with SAG, which is deeply divided between members that would like to form a single performers union and those who oppose such a merger and who believe AFTRA undermined SAG's own dealings with the AMPTP during the last round of collective bargaining. "We would [engage in joint negotiations] if it were something that's to the advantage of all our members," she told Variety. SAG declined to comment on her remarks. »
Fox Hires Lambert For Live-TV Gig

Apparently Fox has few qualms about putting Adam Lambert back on live television. The network announced today (Monday) that Lambert will appear on the season finale of So You think You Can Dance, scheduled to air on December 16. It will mark the controversial performer's first appearance on the network since he was announced as the No. 2 finalist in last season's American Idol last May. The dance contest is produced jointly by 19 Entertainment, which also produces American Idol, and Dick Clark Productions, which, along with ABC, yanked Lambert from an appearance on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve show scheduled to air on December 31.

“Monk” Goes Out With A Blast
2 hours ago | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »
The series finale of Monk went out impressively Friday night, setting a ratings record for a series episode on basic cable. The USA Network comedy-cum-detective-drama drew about 9.4 million viewers of which 3.2 million were adults 18-49, the group compulsively courted most obsessively by advertisers. By contrast not one show that aired on the broadcast networks Friday night drew as many viewers. The highest-rated show on the broadcast nets was CBS's Ghost Whisperer with 8.23 million viewers. And Fox, airing back-to-back hour-long episodes of the canceled Dollhouse, averaged just 2.05 million viewers for the entire night.

ABC is confirming that 24 cougar bait Elisha Cuthbert is joining the cast of The Forgotten in a recurring role. According to the hot-of-the-presses ABC press release, Cuthbert will play Maxine Denver, a "strong and successful Chicago professional who is forced to put her skepticism of 'amateur detectives' aside when The Forgotten Network begins investigating a case close to home." Cuthbert is slated to debut on the ratings-challenged freshman drama in February, which is not long after she wraps up her multi-episode 24 return.
