The current season of 'SNL' has braved the departures of Andy Samberg, Kristen Wiig and Abby Elliott, with Jason Sudeikis and Seth Meyers rumored to follow, but can it handle another?  That friends, is the question we face after learning that 'SNL' vet Kenan Thompson and executive producer Lorne Michael have begun development of a new NBC sitcom, with Thompson set to star.  What premise does the s

Though the series itself has yet to secure a mid-season premiere date, we've been hearing quite a bit about the various Bryan Fuller alum chosen to take part in the director's upcoming NBC drama 'Hannibal,' an adaptation of author Thomas Harris' classic Hannibal Lecter mythos. And while most castings have focused on original characters, we've just learned that Fuller vet Raul Esparza has been cast

As anyone who ever watched 'Pushing Daisies' well knows, Bryan Fuller is the man to go to when you want distinctive visuals on a TV budget.  For that, and other reasons, we regret that Fuller's 'Munsters' reboot 'Mockingbird Lane' never managed to make it off the ground apart from its pilot airing as a Halloween special, however successful it may have been.  So while NBC obviously didn't share Ful

Liz Lemon would be proud.  With the final season of '30 Rock' now six episodes into its run, the home stretch seems imminent.  And amidst life-changing announcements and and endless array of returning guest stars, there's always room for new ones, right?  Thankfully yes, as we've just learned that 'LOST' vet and occasional 'Fringe' guest star Rebecca Mader is set for an appearance in one of the fi

While a number of NBC viewers still find themselves inside the darkest timeline, a world where NBC pushes 'Community' back to February, and slots 'Whitney's second season in with the network's increasingly three-camera lineup, it seems 'Guys With Kids' isn't going anywhere quite yet.  The peacock has officially ordered additional episodes of the Jimmy Fallon-produced series, though not quite for a

With 'Lincoln' set to sweep the awards, and every historical figure this side of Thomas Edison and Leonardo Da Vinci being reimagined as crime-fighting sexy action heroes, sooner or later these things were bound to meet in the middle.  Next up for the untold story angle, courtesy of NBC and director Barry Levinson is...is America's first president himself, George Washington!  But will 'George Wash

Don't tell us you thought the final season of '30 Rock' would go by without a visit from the Beeper King, dummy.  As '30 Rock' continues its farewell tour after seven seasons, the long-running NBC meta-series has targeted a number of past guests stars to come sing swan songs, but who could be more deserving of such an honor than Liz Lemon's one-time beau Dennis Duffy (Dean Winters)?  Learn the det

The current season of 'SNL has traveled up and down the spectrum of celebrity hosts, ranging from returning greats like Anne Hathaway, to risky ventures like Daniel Craig, Bruno Mars and Louis C.K., with varying degrees of success.  This Saturday's coming installment should prove pretty solid, with upcoming 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' and 'The Avengers' star Jeremy Renner!  Will the inten

Sadly, outside of the occasional Old Milwaukee commercial, occasional 'SNL' appearance, or maybe even the latest episode of 'Bitch Hunter,' we're unlikely to see Will Ferrell take any regular presence on the small screen again.  That's okay though, considering the imminent arrival of 'Anchorman 2' with director Adam McKay, and an upcoming NBC series with both behind the camera!  And hey, why not t

Is Liza Minnelli embarking on a comeback tour?  Sure, plenty of theatre geeks would argue that she never left, but between recent returns to the 'Arrested Development' reunion and an upcoming guest spot on the second season of NBC's hit musical drama 'Smash,' we have to wonder.  The legendary singer and daughter of Hollywood icon Judy Garland will make an appearance in the new season, laying who e
