January 6, 2014 Barb Oates

Of all the notorious lawmen who patrol the violent Texas frontier, none are more storied than the Texas Rangers. But being one of the first female rangers in this elite squad isn’t going to stop ballsy, badass Molly Parker (Tricia Helfer). Molly is committed to finding the truth and seeing justice served. Killer Women is from executive producer Sofía Vergara (Modern Family). She’s sore, dirty and tired after days of intense filming, but Tricia Helfer is comfortably at home in the role of Texas Ranger Molly Parker in ABC’s new crime drama Killer Women. The 5’10” self-described tomboy has been […]

5 Things To Love About Justified Season 5

January 5, 2014 StayTuned Staff

Justified Season 5 is upon us, and while it is indeed sad that Elmore Leonard won’t be around to enjoy it with us, the writers and producers have given us plenty of reasons to rejoice in returning to Harlan County, Ky., to follow the exploits of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant). The three episodes the network has sent out for preview contain the same laconic charm mixed with brutal violence that has been the show’s hallmark. Here are five reasons I already love Justified Season 5: 1) Guest Stars Galore: What’s so cool about the roster of guest stars […]

January 3, 2014 Lori Acken

When Oxygen’s Bad Girls All Star Battle Season 2 premieres Tuesday night, the show’s host Ray J says fans should expect all of the things he and they love about the Bad Girls — but with a more competitive twist. “I love the show, I love hosting the show, and I love being the guide and the person to instruct the girls on whatever tactics and plans they have to win this $100,000,” he explains. “But what I like about the second season is that in the first season, we had a lot of fights and a lot of arguing and […]

January 3, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

The fan-favorite mystery/comedy series Psych is USA Network’s longest-running series, and it continues that run when Psych Season 8 premieres Jan. 8 at 9pm ET/PT. When I spoke with Psych creator/writer/director/executive producer Steve Franks last month about the special Psych: The Musical, he also talked a little bit about Psych Season 8. How many episodes make up Psych Season 8? Can you talk about some of the episodes? Steve Franks: There are only 10 episodes, but some of my favorite stuff that we’ve ever done. … The first one that I did was born out of something I couldn’t do for […]

January 2, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl 2014 is the 10th anniversary edition of the hugely popular (12.4 million viewers last year) Super Bowl Sunday counter-programming event. Puppy Bowl helped popularize the trend of networks airing special programming “bowls,” and Puppy Bowl X will now also have cute competition from Hallmark Channel’s first Kitten Bowl, airing on the same day (Feb. 2). How does Animal Planet look to stay leader of the pack with Puppy Bowl X? Aside from the usual cuddly canine competitors and the Kitty Halftime Show, Puppy Bowl 2014 will have new additions, including penguin cheerleaders and even the first […]

Interview: Billy Campbell of Syfy’s “Helix”

January 2, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

“I kind of think of this show as a mashup of The Andromeda Strain, John Carpenter’s The Thing and The Walking Dead,” Billy Campbell tells me of his new Syfy series Helix, premiering Jan. 10. Prior to the interview, watching the pilot, that is almost exactly what I thought about this 13-episode thriller (except, for me, parts of the show called to mind 28 Days Later more so than The Walking Dead). Helix does indeed combine classic sci-fi elements from those titles — a disease outbreak, a group of people at a fairly claustrophobic, remote Arctic outpost, and, eventually, at […]

January 1, 2014 Lori Acken

Has everyone refreshed their beverages and their munchies and their Advil and their special crying pillowcases and whatever else we might need to get through the next hour New Year’s Day Dance-Moms-a-palooza?
