March 16, 2009 StayTuned Staff

By Stacey Harrison Talk about perfect casting. Celebrated rock star/spoken-word artist — and occasional actor (Heat, Bad Boys II) — Henry Rollins will guest-star in six episodes of Sons of Anarchy, when the FX biker drama returns for its second season this fall. According to the network, Rollins will play a new adversary who sets up shop in the show’s fictional setting of Charming, Calif. Last season, the members of SAMCRO dealt with a rival gang, heavy investigation from law enforcement, as well as massive internal strife as it sought to keep its gunrunning empire afloat. “Henry will bring his […]

TSST! “Dog Whisperer” Becomes U.S. Citizen

March 13, 2009 Jeff Pfeiffer

By Jeff Pfeiffer I wasn’t aware that “Dog Whisperer” Cesar Millan, pack leader on the hit National Geographic Channel series, was not an official U.S. citizen. That has now been changed. Don’t worry — he hasn’t been here illegally to do his dog training, but has been a legal resident for years. He passed his citizenship test earlier this year, then attended the official swearing-in ceremony yesterday in Los Angeles, joining dozens of others as new Americans. He was accompanied by his wife and two sons, who are already U.S. citizens. On his website, Millan, who was born in Mexico, […]

Harper’s Globe, the online companion to CBS’ upcoming mystery series Harper’s Island, has gone live.

Large Family Affairs

March 12, 2009 Jeff Pfeiffer

By Jeff Pfeiffer You know it’s only a matter of time before “Octo-Mom” Nadya Suleman gets a reality TV series. The intense public fascination about her case has come as no surprise, really, since television has become filled with the pitter-patter (or, in some cases, stampeding) of little feet. Several popular programs have already been chronicling the adventures of similar people who have suddenly found themselves saddled — er, blessed — with multiple kids all at once. And like the parents, these types of shows are reproducing quickly. In fact, a new one called Table For 12 starts March 23.

Glen Campbell (And Kids!) On BIO Channel’s “The Chris Isaak Hour” Thursday, 10pm ET

March 11, 2009 Lori Acken

By ButtonKnows Wichita Lineman? Check. Galveston? Check. Rhinestone Cowboy? Check, check and check. Tommy Smothers saddled up on a hippopotamus? GRAVY! If it’s been a while since you’ve seen television’s original Good Time guy, Glen Campbell, on the tube, Thursday night’s episode of The Chris Isaak Hour, has everything you’re hoping for and then some. With one caveat. Because Campbell’s public appearances have been few and far between of late, you may need a few moments to adjust to the reality that the once boyish-faced Campbell is now 70-something, not above a little Burt Reynolds-esque “freshening” and sometimes a tad […]

Don’t Forget To Put On A Sweater!

March 11, 2009 Jeff Pfeiffer

Even if you didn’t grow up watching Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood (1968-2001), you likely are familiar with the infectious — and almost inhuman — friendliness, kindness and patience displayed by Fred Rogers on that series and in his real life. The gentle Rogers, who passed away in 2003, remains a shining example of being a caring neighbor to one’s fellow person. Last year, Family Communications, Inc., a nonprofit company founded by Rogers, began recognizing Rogers’ legacy of promoting neighborliness with its first Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Day. This event is now becoming an annual tradition, and the second Won’t You […]
