Considering the pilot episode alone boasted a cameo appearance by Gwyneth Paltrow, it should have been fairly obvious that Ryan Murphy's NBC hit 'The New Normal' wasn't going to be hurting for guest stars anytime soon.  Among the latest to join the show's freshman season are legendary 'Star Trek' star and LGBT icon George Takei, along with fashion star Nicole Richie.  But how big will either appea

Looks like school's about to be in session, Greendale gang!  'Community's season 4 debut might be one of the longest hiatuses we've had to endure, but the return to Greendale on October 19 will be well worth the wait as we settle in for the new 13-episode season, which looks to premiere with some of our long-running 'Community' favorites.  But what dramatic returns and unexpected hookups do the fi

While '30 Rock' gears up for its final 13 episodes on NBC, don't make the mistake of believing that a half-season means any less room for both new, and familiar faces to drop and send the acclaimed NBC meta-comedy off!  One of its many celebrity guest stars over the years, Matthew Broderick's downtrodden government employee Cooter Burger hasn't been seen since the show's second season, but will ma

Yes, you read that correctly, and we're not that hung over. A familiar hallmark of TV development is to take classic characters and jazz them up with some modern sensibilities, and in recent months we've heard of everything from a steampunk Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, to yet another adaptation of 'Sherlock Holmes.' So really, how long was it going to be before Thomas Edison, father of modern inventi

Ah mid-season.  You tantalize us with your casting announcements, but all the fall season premieres in the world couldn't detract from you mysterious allure.  Wait, what were we talking about?  Oh, right.  By this point the second season of NBC's hotly anticipated Broadway drama 'Smash' is primed to explode if it throws in any more big name theatre talent, but thankfully the latest has already bee

Although NBC's hit competitive reality talent show 'The Voice' didn't win any Emmys this year, losing the award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Show to CBS's 'Amazing Race,' at least it was nominated. And it doesn't mean the Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton-coached series lacks a decent fan base. It doesn't, and the recent announcement from NBC that 'The Voice' i

'30 Rock' might be coming to an imminent end with its seventh and final season this fall, but don't expect series star and 'SNL' alum Tina Fey to lose her grip on the tube any time soon.  As her flagship show comes to a close, the star has inked a new lucrative development deal with Universal Television, but the question remains. Will Fey herself star in a new project, independent of '30 Rock,' or

For years now, many have lauded the Emmys as a predictable ceremony, including Jon Stewart last night, but one thing that certainly didn't surprise us was the lack of acknowledgement for 'Community,' in particular its outspoken star Chevy Chase. Over the last year we've heard Chase take potshots at everything from the series to departing showrunner Dan Harmon, but with Harmon gone and 'Community'

Can you say "casting announcement of the year?"  While 'The Office' officially returns tonight for its ninth, and final season (please don't remind us about 'The Farm') it's no secret that the upcoming year is bound to attract new and old guest stars alike, including some big names.  Well, if we don't yet know if Michael Scott will make the trek back to Dunder-Mifflin, how about Steve Ca

Whether or not you're still following 'Saturday Night Live' after all these years, it's hard to deny that Seth MacFarlane did a pretty bang-up job bringing the long-running sketch comedy show into its 38th season, parodying everything from "Gangnam Style" to Clint Eastwood, and even introducing its new Barack Obama.  With 'Looper's' Joseph Gordon-Levitt ready to take the reigns for this
