June 5, 2013 Tom Comi

The Burn Notice Season 7 premiere on USA Network comes with great anticipation this week (the season begins June 6 at 9pm ET/PT on USA Network), but it’s also bittersweet for fans who aren’t ready for the series to conclude.

Longmire recap: “Carcasses”

June 3, 2013 StayTuned Staff

It’s not often you can link Latin and turducken into a murder mystery, but this week’s episode of Longmire — the splendidly titled “Carcasses” — does so within the first few minutes. OK, so now we know why we love this show; let’s find out what happened. It starts out as so many Longmire hours do, with a quiet, serene drive along the roads of Absaroka County, Wyo., when all of a sudden death intervenes. This time it’s a lady named Holly who earns what is apparently a good living collecting animal carcasses off the road and putting them in […]

Liev Schreiber takes the lead in Showtime’s “Ray Donovan”

June 3, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Ray Donovan Sunday, July 30 Showtime, 10pm ET When discussing why he never saw himself doing TV, Liev Schreiber brings up some of the usual concerns: He didn’t want to get locked into the same character for years on end, and moving his New York-based family to Los Angeles just didn’t seem logical. But there was another overlying issue that might sound surprising. “I’ve always felt that no one would ever want to watch me as a lead,” says the veteran of more than 40 films, the vast majority of which have seen him play supporting roles. “I’ve got kind […]

The Fosters Monday, June 3 ABC Family, 9pm ET (Don’t miss the live-chat on Twitter with executive producer Jennifer Lopez during the East Coast premiere at 9pm. Just head to @JLo to participate.)

In The Brady […]
