This weekend has two highly anticipated premieres on Sunday night. Discovery begins airing its miniseries "Life" - an incredible and lushly filmed nature series that took more than 4 years to complete. We've seen the first several episodes and they are jaw-dropping... more ›

It's not very often that one gets to sit with a legend (ok sure, we did just get to hang out with Betty White a few weeks ago), so we were thrilled to have a chance to speak with veteran character actor Len Lesser who has been in hundreds of TV and film productions in his 60+ year career. more ›

What'd you think of HBO's "The Pacific"? We thought it was shot in adequate "epic-style" but the soundtrack makes us think of just about anything on the History Channel. Also, we didn't feel an immediate engagement with the characters that we felt with "Band of Brothers", or more recently, "Generation Kill". Perhaps by the 2nd or 3rd chapter we'll have that connection but this just seems a little off for the time being. more ›

This weekend is all about HBO's new mini-series, "The Pacific" (see the promo above), which is also being renamed by some as "Band of Brothers - Part Deux". What made "Band of Brothers" so compelling was that we followed the same group of guys, Easy Company, throughout Europe, which made the storyline somewhat easier to follow. It was also incredibly interesting because these were true stories about real people, many of whom are still alive. more ›

We spoke with guerilla TV creator and comedian Tom Green at his house which is also headquarters for www.TomGreen.com's Web-O-Vision. He had literally just touched down a few hours earlier from an extensive US tour but gave us a few minutes to tell us about: the tour experience, his excitement about going to Australia for the first time, Canada's Olympic victories, and his upcoming weekend of shows at the Brea Improv. more ›

On Sunday, March 7th, 2010, the E! network held an Oscars after-party at Drai's Hollywood club at the W Hotel. While nobody who was nominated or who won at the Oscars showed up before we left at 10:30pm, we took advantage of the chance to speak with Josh Sussman (aka Jacob Ben Israel of FOX's "Glee"), Iqbal Theba (aka Principal Figgins of FOX's "Glee") more ›

Last night's broadcast of the Oscars had the most viewership since 2005 which is in line with the popularity of most of the awards shows this year. We were shocked that Farrah Fawcett was not included in this year's "death montage" - true, she was honored specifically at the Emmys but it was a mistake to ignore her work in film which is where she ultimately proved herself worthy of recognition. more ›

On Saturday March 6th, 2010, at the Saban Theatre, the Paley Center for Media's PaleyFest2010 held its "Vampire Diaries" night to honor the series from the CW. We managed to get a few words in with Paul Wesley aka Stefan Salvatore, and Nina Dobrev aka Elena Gilbert & Katherine Pierce. Fans had been lining up to spend most of the day in rain showers as they waited for the show to start at 7pm. more ›

Although Michael C. Hall, who is still receiving cancer treatments, did not walk the red carpet to speak to the press last night, he received a standing ovation as he walked onto the stage at the Saban Theatre for the Paley Center for Media's PaleyFest2010 "Dexter" night.

Sometimes it's not until one sees a group of creators, producers, and talent onstage together that the reasons why a TV show is so good becomes so incredibly apparent. At PaleyFest2010's "Community" night at the Saban Theatre... more ›

Tonight we sadly mark the end of one of the most over-the-top TV shows to ever make the screen: FX's "Nip/Tuck". Seven seasons of outrageous gore, near pornography, and twisted shenanigans have finally come to an end. MSN has a photo rundown and summary of some of the series' highlights but generally speaking, the show really hit its stride when plastic surgeons Sean McNamara (Dylan Walsh) and Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) moved their practice from South Beach to Los Angeles. more ›

Today, check out our fan video (above) of The Roots playing Olympic Plaza last Thursday - hopefully Jimmy Fallon will show some of that great show tonight at 12:35am since he was there to get the crowd pumped up before they went on. more ›

We spoke with John Irwin, a producer for VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" to have him give LAist's readers his Pitch on why you should watch the show (Thursdays @ 10pm). more ›

We're watching a lot of Canadian TV up here at the Olympics and while it does have its own problems with some spotty commentary, the wall to wall coverage is impressive. Since we're not able to watch NBC it was with interest we read today's AP summary which included comments from Universal Sports exec Calude Ruibal who states that NBC will be bidding for the rights to the Olympics beyond the 2012 games - say it isn't so! more ›
