Rebel Wilson new show, Super Fun Night, based on some real-life moments

Rebel Wilson new show – Super Fun Night — comes to ABC on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at 9:30pmET/PT. “I’m just a girl from the bush who is very, very lucky,” Rebel Wilson tells us. Luck may have a little to do with some of her success, but don’t let Wilson’s modesty fool you, as she’s truly one of the funniest females in the business today. From her hilariously creepy, touchy-feely sister/brother thing in Bridesmaids to a cappella great Fat Amy in Pitch Perfect, Americans can’t get enough of the Australian funny girl. ABC was quick to recognize the opportunity and […]

Sept. 29, 2013: The greatest day of TV ever?

Do you have a DVR? Good. Go out and buy about six more of them, because Sunday, Sept. 29, 2013, could just be the greatest day of TV ever! And I can say that without hyperbole. I’m responsible for picking out the featured program from among our daily TV Best Bets. (That’s right. I’m the one to blame/thank for hyping up all those Saturday Hallmark Channel movies.) I’ve scanned through just about every notable TV program there is 365 days a year for about the past four years. So trust my professional opinion on this: Sunday, Sept. 29, 2013, is going […]

The Breaking Bad series finale airs Sunday, Sept. 29 at 9/8CT on AMC. So how’s it all going to go down, Breaking Bad fans? Who’s destined for the rest of that ricin? Traitorous Gretchen and Elliot? Tea-loving Lydia? Walt himself? And is that automatic rifle in Walt’s trunk meant for Todd and his trigger-happy posse? Will Walt ride to Jesse’s rescue — or his doom? Who’s got Brock? Could Walt save him, too? Is Skyler really dispatching taxis? Is Saul really managing a Cinnabon in Montana? But most of all, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?! So many questions to answer […]

Betsy Brandt on transitioning from Breaking Bad to The Michael J. Fox Show

Betsy Brandt is enjoying a well-earned glass of wine after a long day of press for her new series The Michael J. Fox Show, having done the same drill just a day before for that other series she’s on. “Don’t let me get drunk or I’ll tell you how Breaking Bad ends!” she quips cheerfully, taking a sip from her glass and settling into a sofa in the lobby bar of a Beverly Hills hotel. I tell her we first met when Breaking Bad began, six years ago on the Bad set as the show filmed its first episodes. At the time, Brandt stretched out […]
