90210: ‘Wide Awake and Dreaming’ Preview

Ha ha!
Well, we all know what’s on Annie’s mind during the “Wide Awake and Dreaming” episode of 90210 if the following clips are any indication. Both could easily be named “Busted,” the second time by daddy and his colleagues, no less.
Reliable old 90210 — so irrelevant, so cheesy, so lightweight, so meaningless, yet so […]

Army Wives: Meet Pamela’s Stalker

If you’re an Army Wives watcher, then you already know Pamela Moran learned she has a stalker when he first called her radio show Have At It during the episode “Great Expectations.”
Since then, the series has carefully kept the weirdo’s identity hidden. Luckily for those who are interested, however, I have a couple of […]

Army Wives: 2.14 ‘Payback’ Preview

The glitzy Emmys may be airing tonight at the same time, but that isn’t stopping Lifetime from airing a fresh episode of Army Wives, which should make fans who aren’t into awards shows especially happy.
I love the title of this one, too — the very succinct and gritty “Payback.” That makes last week’s depressing […]

Getting My ‘Sanctuary’ On: Meet the Cast

One of the highlights of this month in my life as a TV blogger was the day I received something very special from the Sci Fi Channel, an uncommonly beautiful gift I’d longed for for quite some time.
Yes, I’m talking about the two-hour series premiere of Sanctuary, starring and executive produced by Stargate powerhouse Amanda […]

CCH Pounder’s ‘Warehouse 13’ Gets Series Order

Good news here for fans of science-fiction television shows starring superbad women. Back in May, I wrote about The Shield star CCH Pounder getting a plum bosswoman role in the two-hour pilot for the paranormal dramedy Warehouse 13, a prospective original series from the Sci Fi Channel.
Well, “prospective” just became “forthcoming” because the basic […]

Next TNT Hit Drama Jada Pinkett Smith’s ‘Time Heals’

It may not be true just yet, but I’ve got my fingers and my toes crossed that this happens. According to an official statement released by TNT today, the network has given the thumbs up to Jada Pinkett Smith (The Women, The Matrix Reloaded, Menace II Society), who will executive produce and star in […]

Ratings Report: 90210, FRINGE, GOSSIP GIRL Thriving

Privileged and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles not so much.
I’ve been keeping track of the Nielsen ratings — those all-powerful numbers that help networks determine advertising rates and thus the future of TV shows — for various rookie and seasoned series covered her at Grrl TV.
Although most shows have yet to start airing fresh episodes, […]

TNT Gives ‘Saving Grace’ a Third Season

This was a no-brainer in so many ways — Oscar winner Holly Hunter, for starters — but still the network has to make it official before Saving Grace fans can properly jump for joy.
The time to have at it is right about now, then, because TNT has done the deed and renewed the series for […]

When Booth’s son Parker finds a corpse’s severed finger in a bird’s nest, the discovery leads to a search for the rest of the body and eventually the Dog Whisperer himself, guest star Cesar Milan.
A handful of photos from the episode follow the jump.

New on DVD: ‘Private Practice’ and Vintage Comedy

Quick Note: If you’re a Private Practice fan and were hoping the Season One DVDs would include the two-part backdoor pilot “The Other Side of This Life” that launched the series at the end of Grey’s Anatomy’s third season, you’re out of luck. For whatever reason, those episodes aren’t included, despite a strike-shortened freshman […]
