wilfred & ryan
1. Elijah Wood – Wood’s portrayal of Ryan is flawless, as if even he, as the actor, believes what his character sees and feels. His confusion and angst are palpable, even at his funniest moments. And it can’t be easy playing next to a man in a dog suit.
2. Jason Gann – Gann is hilariously brilliant as the title dog, Wilfred, mixing just the right amount of typical dog behaviors with the seriousness of a guru and leading Ryan along the journey of life.
who will be Kelly’s co-host?
On November 21, 2011, “LIVE! with Kelly” debuted following the departure of longtime host Regis Philbin, and in the following months, 59 different men and women sat next to Kelly at the co-host desk, top personalities from every area of broadcasting and entertainment. One individual from that immensely talented group has been tapped to fill one of the most coveted jobs in television.

TV and film director and producer, Tony Scott, died Sunday after jumping from a Los Angeles County bridge. He was 68.
Most well known as directing such blockbuster movie hits such as “Top Gun,” “Days of Thunder” and “Beverly Hills Cop II,” Scott and his brother, Ridley Scott, ran a production company – Scott Free Productions – that branched into television in 2005 to produce the CBS drama Numb3rs and then current show, The Good Wife. The company also produced a 2011 History Channel documentary about the Battle of Gettysburg.
Scott is survived by his third wife and two children.

We ended last week with a game changer of sorts; I mean Todd shooting someone wasn’t really in the plan that Walt and Jesse had when they were going to steal from a moving train. So now the team has to deal with the consequences.
And from this derailment in their plans, changes are in store that could possibly be leading to the end game…? We’ll see.
To prepare you for another season of television enjoyment, we present the following quick reference table of the weekly Fall 2012 Television Schedule for the major networks. Curious about a show? Visit our New 2012/2013 Shows – Alphabetical Listings for details.

As we gear up for next week’s season finale, tonight’s episode was all about setting up the action for the finale. Power crazy Bill is ready to face off with (read: murder) the other members of The Authority who all believe they are only The Chosen One (it’s very Highlander-esque).
Meanwhile, Russell makes his way to the Moulin Fae to eat our protagonist.

Sorry everyone that I’m running a little late on this recap. School started back this week and it has been crazy! Anyway, we leave off the last episode in an emotional state and we begin this one with just as much emotion. As soon as the show starts, we learn that Kevin is paralyzed and there is no answer whether or not this is a permanent condition.
As you might imagine, Jackie is absolutely devastated with this development but she does what she can to help Kevin. She makes the house more convenient for him to get around in his wheelchair.

“Perception has captured the imagination of TNT’s audience of armchair detectives with wonderfully intricate cases, emotionally charged situations and, of course, a terrific cast led by Eric McCormack,” said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). “Daniel Pierce is a truly unique and fascinating addition to television’s pantheon of crime solvers. We look forward to seeing where Perception takes us next.”
ABC Family, the Millennial-skewing network, continues its forward momentum as it greenlights additional seasons of its hit series. The network has ordered a third season of “Melissa & Joey,” a second season for both “Baby Daddy” and “Switched at Birth,” and has given a back-order pick-up to “Bunheads,” Michael Riley, President of ABC Family, has announced. The original dramas will premiere in Winter, with the hit comedies returning in Spring 2013.
After launching a successful Wednesday night comedy block with “Melissa & Joey” and “Baby Daddy,” cable TV’s #1 telecasts in their half-hours across the network’s core Adults 18-34, Adults 18-49 and Millennial demos, ABC Family has ordered a third season of “Melissa & Joey” and a second season of “Baby Daddy.” Already established as a destination for hit dramas, the network will also produce a second season of the award-winning hit series “Switched at Birth,” and ordered additional episodes of the critically-acclaimed series “Bunheads.” These pick-ups join the previously announced “Beverly Hills Nannies” reunion special that will air on September 4.
[UPDATE: According to TVLine.com, “Jane By Design” has been canceled after its first season.]

Three weeks ago, I wrote another piece about Seth Peterson, who guest starred in a web series called “Curve Your Vampirism.” It was through him that I discovered the show, but I started from the beginning and I’ve become fascinated with the humor and talent found in each episode. I wanted to tell you a little more about the series and the awesome people behind it. Before we start talking about it, take a look at the first episode!
