Tonight on Ten's Before the Game, Kangaroos star Andrew Swallow will be there to answer the tough questions over Friday night's loss against Carlton. Beau Waters will also be on the show after the Western Bulldogs versus West Coast Eagles game ...
cinemablend.com In addition to the casting of John Goodman as the study group's new nemesis, and the news that Michael Kenneth Williams (The Wire) would be also appearing as an intense biology professor, NBC's popular comedy Community will also be adding Martin Starr to the mix. He is most famous, perhaps, for his role on Party Down, the critically acclaimed comedy on Starz; and might ...
Ex-Late Late Show host Craig Kilborn will appear on NBC's Chuck as a "conniving investor". He will feature in the show's fifth and final season of 13 episodes. It will premiere on October 21, 2011 with "Chuck versus the Zoom ...
HBO HBO has released premiere dates for some of its most popular shows, including Hung and Boardwalk Empire (see the full press release at Spoiler TV). But there are also some other shows to get people excited, including the Dustin Hoffman-starring Luck. Here is what you need to know: RETURNING SHOWS September 16 - Real Time with Bill Maher - Season 9 (Returning after hiatus) September ...
AMC Mad Men Season 5 will start shooting on August 8, with Jon Hamm directing its premiere episode, according to EW. Hopefully this means it will premiere in early 2012 on AMC. This follows the show's 19 Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor (Jon Hamm) and Outstanding Lead Actress (Elisabeth Mos ...
imdb.com After all of the speculation over who would play Ron Swanson's first wife "Tammy 1" on Parks and Recreation, the role has finally been cast- and it's Patricia Clarkson, who has been seen most recently in Friends With Benefits alongside Justin Timberlake. While I initially hoped the role would be played by Debra Messing (to set up a Will & Grace synergy of sorts with Tammy ...
If there's anyone qualified to judge a new comedy variety show it's Mick Molloy. While he's never really had a bonafide TV variety show hit with his two "solo" efforts The Nation and The Mick Molloy Show, it's hard to doubt his staying power, with The Jesters being a comedy he can be proud of and he has been a welcome addition to Before the Game. So today on the Hot Breakfast (Triple ...
Hamish and Andy's Gap Year premiered Thursday night on the Nine network, and viewers seem to like what they see... So far. It rated 1,456,000, clearly winning its timeslot, with the nearest being Ten's The Renovators on 909,000 and Seven's Law and Order LA on 620,000. Earlier in the week, I predicted, perhaps a little optimistically that they would rate 1.8-1.9 million. Clearly I underestimated the lower viewing figures on Thursday night- even the top show for the night, MasterChef only slightly ...
There haven't been many shows in recent times that have been more anticipated than "Hamish and Andy's Gap Year"... ... Oh wait, yes there has - there was a little show called Angry Boys. And what on earth happened there? Well, it landed with a great thud and was met with overwhelming disappointment. And this only increased the pressure on the two lads. Now, more than ever, Australians ...
Tonight on the Footy Show we hear from retiring Saint/Swan/Bulldog Barry Hall. St Kilda's Nick Dal Santo will be with Chris Dawes on the panel tonight- it is Dawes' first appearance on the show. Sam is promising an "explosive" Street Talk in Castlemaine. And after Andrew Walker's screamer on Saturday night versus the Dons, the team asks who should win mark of the year? Damien Barrett will also appear to likely drop some bombshells regarding potential new Adelaide coaches. And ...
This isn't a show that really deserves a lot of analyis- it's a simple show with a simple premise which plays heavily on people's personalities. So let's have a quick look at the format- a woman (or man) has to date three guys (or women) at their places- and here's the wacky twist: the guys have to cook for the woman. And the premise itself is quite good- not revolutionary by any stretch, but it does add another interesting dimension to the average dating format. But in essence, it's basically ...
Following in the wake of the supposed Rove McManus - Kyle Sandilands feud being reignited, another one of Rove's mates has stepped back into the fray. And it just happens to be the bloke that Kyle said he would "punch in the throat" - Dave Hughes... even though that was in response to Hughesy calling Kyle a "dickhead" at the Logies. Anyway, it doesn't change the fact that there ...
Spoilers ahead (Australian viewers)! UPDATE: Even though Alan Sepinwall reported that series creator Vince Gilligan said it was Tyrus, the official AMC Breaking Bad site has it that it was indeed MIKE: Late that night, Walt approaches Gus's house, gun in hand, but loses his nerve when Mike calls telling him to "Go home, Walter." His every move is being watched. I guess you have to go with that, then... Here's my original post... Fans of Breaking Bad would have been left in agony once again ...
Yes, you read that right- it's partly in French. That's because Craig Ferguson recently filmed a week's worth of shows in Paris, France, to be broadcast next week.And it will be well worth watching not just for Craig and his robot pal Geoff's usual hilarity... And not just for the fact that it will feature Kristen Bell, Eddie Izzard and Jean Reno...But also for the fact that it has been filmed literally (literally) out and about in Paris - which will be a first for late-night TV for the sheer ...
And here's yet another reason why the multi-channels have been so successful... Tonight Ten's multi-channel is finishing up Season 6 of The Office with the finale "Whistleblower", and barrelling straight into Season 7 of the show with the premiere episode "Nepotism". Once upon a time (a time not so long ago), once the networks had dumped a show such as The Office (which Ten did many moons ago), it was anyone's guess when it would be seen on Australian TV again - if ever. Now, since channels like ...
Note: Some spoilers for Australian readers... In an interview with TV Guide about her character (Mary Alice Young) and her role on the ABC show Desperate Housewives, Brenda Strong has again reiterated that the cast and crew and prepping for the end of the show. She reveals that she will have more screen time in the shows eighth season, in what will be a busy year for Strong, she will also be appearing on the new Dallas. Here's what she has to say about the season's central mystery: "My presence ...
In response to a Season 7 that wasn't exactly met with rapturous reception, House seems to be taking things in an entirely new direction in Season 8. For starters, we know that Lisa Edelstein will be leaving the show- so people will not have to worry about the whole "Huddy" dynamic weighing the show down (if you felt that way)... And then there's the small fact that House rammed his car into Cuddy's living room, this will mean he will be spending at least the start of Season 8 in a jail cell. Today, ...
Yesterday I wrote a post about how Ten crowbarring The Renovators into its schedule was anything but good news for its other new show Can of Worms. And I take no pleasure in saying that I was unfortunately correct in my estimations. According to TV Tonight, Can of Worms rated a very, very average 591,000. It isn't disastrous, obviously, but to lose over a third of its audience is horrible- and to think it was all Ten's doing. Yes, they want to promote their new show The Renovators (which pulled ...
Wow, to say that Community casts out of left-field is an understatement. Well, possibly that's the wrong term to use, but their guest-casting is forming a trend of being diverse and interesting to say the least. John Goodman will join the popular show for at least 6 episodes in its third season, as a new "nemesis" for the study group to deal with. Of late, TV has been a new home to Goodman, appearing on Treme and Damages, but it's good to hear him appear on a comedy. This is of course in addition ...
What do we know? Hamish and Andy will host a show from a "desk" in a warehouse, where they will interview various celebrity guests, as well as cut to pre-filmed segments, out and about in New York. What the rest of the show will be made up of is unknown. Who's in it? Hamish Blake and Andy Lee will host. Their radio show's "button pusher" Jack Post will feature as a "butler" of ...
Can of Worms premiered on Network Ten three weeks ago, and despite a luke-warm reception to its uneven premiere and its polarising nature, its ratings have been remarkably decent and more importantly, remarkably consistent. Most of this is due to Ten's bold strategy of thrusting it into an imposing primetime slot- Monday 8:30, following MasterChef's strong rating elimination night. It was no doubt given a leg-up in the ratings, helping it to reach the very respectable heights of 900 thousand ...
Here is the newest promo for Season 6 of Dexter set to Marilyn Manson's "Personal Jesus". This one is certainly the longest and most comprehensive trailer we have seen so far. It also features guest stars Mos Def, Colin Hanks, Brea Grant and Edward James Olmos, though there are not many more clues as to how they will relate to Dexter, apart from the fact that there is some sort of religion-based ...
In an interview with Nova FM's Fitzy and Wippa, Karl Pilkington has revealed that he has filmed some parts for his upcoming show, An Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List. This is the follow-up to the highly succesful An Idiot Abroad, in which Karl visited the Seven Wonders of the World. Fitzy and Wippa spoke to Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington about all manner of things, ...
Quite an awkward exchange occurred this morning on Channel Ten's weekday chat show The Circle. Hayden Quinn was eliminated from MasterChef last night, so he appeared to do the obligatory post-elimination interview on a Channel Ten program, but this isn't to say it would be all smooth-sailing. After being praised for his good manners and general handsomeness, Yumi Stynes- never one ...

Tonight sees the finale of Lawrence Leung's Unbelievable. In his final "investigation", Lawrence "tests the boundaries of rationality by confronting an unsuspecting individual with increasingly unbelievable experiences. Can Lawrence turn a sceptic into a believer?" It hasn't exactly set the world on fire in terms of blowing the lid on any undiscovered hoaxes, and it's decision to ...
Tonight David and Margaret will be having a look at the following flicks; Larry Crowne (Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston) The Conspirator (James McAvoy, Robin Wright) The Eagle (Channing Tatum. Jamie Bell) Bad Teacher (Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, How I Met Your Mother's Jason Segel) The DVD Classic for the week will be Classic Sweet Smell of ...
This week on The Footy Show, there will be a firm spotlight on Port Adelaide - is it a "club in crisis"? Matthew Primus will be in studio to answer his critics. Roughy (an injured Jarryd Roughead), Spike (Mark McVeigh from the Bombers) and Billy Brownless will be on the panel. There will also be a discussion about Jonathan Brown - "is he too brave for his own good"? And this ...
We're already at the point end of the AFL season, which also means there are only a handful of Before the Game episodes left for the year- and maybe even forever! Here are the guests for this week: St Kilda coach Ross Lyon, who will, for the first time in a while, be able to talk about his team without being apologetic. Lions star Luke Power will also be on the panel, and will likely ...
Recently TV Guide interviewed How I Met Your Mother creator and executive producer Craig Thomas about the upcoming season of the show, as well as things beyond that. One question in particular has caught people's eye: Are you still approaching Season 8 as the last one for now? Thomas: All of our contracts are up after 8, so we're preparing for that to possibly be the end... So, ...
