So You Think Jennifer Lopez Can Dance? She Can!

54 minutes ago | People.com - TV Watch | See recent People.com - TV Watch news »

Jennifer Lopez fans have another reason to catch her comeback performance live at the 2009 American Music Awards on Sunday. That's because when the "Fresh Out the Over" singer takes the stage, she'll be moving to choreography by So You Think You Can Dance's Emmy-nominated husband and wife team Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo -- or as they’re affectionately known in the dance community, Nappytabs. "It is an exciting thing for us and one of the things we've always wanted to do,” Napoleon tells People of their chance to work with one of their longtime dance idols. “You can expect »

Even outside of her show Tina Fey digs at NBC

1 hour ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Every week we can be guaranteed that Tina Fey and the people at 30 Rock will make fun of NBC in some way, whether it's product placement or The Jay Leno Show or last night's line about the green NBC peacock in the corner of the screen. Fey also isn't shy about dumping on NBC when she's away from the show either.

The other night she gave a speech at an Ad Council meeting at the Waldorf in New York. Her barbs were mostly about NBC's ratings, including pointing out that "NBC is sadly the fourth-place network. Actually we're in ninth place if you count the radio stations ahead of us right now." She also suggested that if the 1200 people in the audience watched NBC for just one night there would be a huge jump in the ratings.

I've been wondering what will happen if and when Comcast takes over NBC. »

Fox News caught using wrong footage ... again

1 hour ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Remember the old saying, "Fool me once (awkward pause), shame on (another awkward pause), shame on you (another longer and more awkward pause). Fool me, we can't get fooled again"?

Less than a week after Fox News host and conservative pundit Sean Hannity apologized for accidentally using the wrong footage from Glenn Beck's "9/12 Rally" as footage for Rep. Michelle Bachmann's "Super Bowl of Freedom" rally, the network used the wrong footage in another story. This time, they used the wrong footage for a story on the "crowds" that showed up during Sarah Palin's book tour.

Think Progress, a blog created by the liberal think tank the Center for American Progress, discovered the footage. The dead giveaway was the "Country First" campaign signs indicating the footage was taken during Palin's campaign run with John McCain back in 2008. The network called the clip mix-up a mistake and issued another apology. Hold on, »

Fans of Say Yes to the Dress, Platinum Weddings, My Fair Wedding or any other show about tying the knot should set their DVRs for a new take on walking down the aisle.

Cheech and Chong and ... Ann Coulter?!?

2 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

First there was the Lincoln-Douglas debate. Then came the Nixon-Kennedy debate. Now Fox News' Geraldo Rivera continues that great American tradition of the public debate with the Cheech and Chong-Coulter debate.

It might sound like the world's most lopsided episode of Celebrity Deathmatch, but the world's most famous pot comedy duo squared off against the famed conservative pundit on Rivera's "Geraldo at Large" show recently to discuss the opening of the country's first cannibus club in Portland, Oregon and the legalization of marijuana. Despite the craziness of the casting, they actually have a very frank, civilized and enlightening discussion on the subject.

What You Missed Last Night: Jimmy Fallon almost gets sued by Twilight producers

3 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

The entire time I watched this clip from last night's Late Night, I was thinking, "if Taylor Lautner smashes into a wall face-first or falls off of the mini-bike and cracks his head open, Fallon is going to be in big trouble." The two guys raced around the NBC hallways on mini-bikes. The winner wins because he cheats.

Exclusive: Taylor Kitsch leaving 'Friday Night Lights'?

It looks like Tim Riggins will be warming the bench for at least a portion of Friday Night Lights' fifth season. Executive producer Jason Katims confirms that Taylor Kitsch will be off filming his lead role in John Carter of Mars, Disney's big-screen adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' book series, during production of Fnl's probable final season. As a result, he says Kitsch "will miss part" of the season.

Granderson has Stadium Secrets to share

4 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Lately, Detroit Tiger all-star outfielder Curtis Granderson has been in the news because he might be joining the New York Yankees. However, if Major League Baseball free agency doesn't make him a household name, television might. Granderson has an idea for a reality series that's being shopped around now and it's not like anything else other athletes have pitched.

Granderson's series is called Stadium Secrets and it will be like History Channel's Cities of the Underworld. In fact, it might be suited to the History Channel. Granderson would host the show and lead viewers into the inner recesses and hidden passages of famous stadia around the world -- although it'll probably start with American locations.

NBC dusts off Trauma's corpse

4 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Oh my God! It's a zombie! Quick! Get a shovel or something heavy that will remove a human head or destroy its brain! Yes, TV shows can become zombies too.

NBC has revived its once doomed drama Trauma giving it a full 13 episode order plus a few more after they canceled it last month.

What made the network breathe life back into the expensive action drama? Apparently the show saw a brief boost in the ratings and NBC had a change of heart, assuming of course that they have one in the first place.

The family business: Let's talk about 'Supernatural's' 'Abandon All Hope...'

5 hours ago | The Watcher | See recent The Watcher news »

Let's discuss Thursday's "Supernatural" episode, "Abandon All Hope," below. Well, "Supernatural" sure has created one high-class problem for itself. The question is, when the bar is set so high by episodes like "Abandon All Hope…," it sure makes things more difficult for the "haunted wax museum" outings. I had a couple of quibbles with "Abandon All Hope…" -- mostly of the "why doesn't Lucifer just go ahead and smite Dean already" variety -- but by and large, this episode was terrific. It supplied a lot of the mythology goodness that I'd wanted, but it did so in a way that... »

Review: FlashForward - Believe

5 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

(S01E09) I've thought since the beginning that Bryce was more one of the more intriguing characters on the series. The fact that he was on the verge of suicide when he had his flashforward was indicative of some deeper hurts that we hadn't explored yet, but this week he finally got his due. We also got to meet the mystery woman from his vision, and now his sketches.

I've also realized that a lot of you are right about one thing. The character of Mark Benford isn't working for me anymore. He's a dick through and through, and he absolutely proved that this week in how he handled trying to track down some information.

In fact, even though Olivia's a little better than Mark, I'd say the "first family" of FlashForward are the two least likable or interesting characters on the show. I think the drama may have been »

TV's Coolest Moments: Barney's Alter Ego, Palin's Sit-down with Oprah and More!

5 hours ago | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »

15. Worst Reveal: After five head-scratching hours of AMC's The Prisoner, we learn that The Village basically exists inside the brain of Two's wife back in the real world. After Two's son, 11-12, kills his mom and hangs himself, a distraught Two (aka Mr. Curtis) convinces Six and the rest of the villagers that Six is the new leader and 313 is the dreamer whose brain will keep the utopia alive. So Six is No. 1? Wait, he's dressed like Two? Oh, who cares really?

14. Best Reveal: How does Sons of Anarchy top Gemma's announcement that she's been raped? A guilt-ridden Tig tells Opie how and why Donna was killed. In a satisfying twist, a raging Opie shows mercy on Stahl and vows to keep the secret from the other brothers for the sake of the club.

Chuck to return in January

5 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »

Chuck will be returning to the airwaves on NBC on Sunday January 10th at 8 Pm. The third season will start with a two-hour premiere and then the show will be on again the following night in its regular timeslot right after Heroes. This is three hours of Chuck over two days.

The pity is that Chuck is actually a good show and Heroes hasn't been as such since the first season. Perhaps Heroes should be the lead-in for Chuck? With the boost in the number of episodes and the guest-stars galore slated for the coming season, it's a very exciting time to be a Chuckaholic like me. This could also be a sign that NBC is giving more support for Chuck and less for the dying Heroes.

Zachary Levi is great in his role and Yvonne Strahovski is much fun to look at, but what really makes the show is Adam Baldwin. »

Calendar Man: Observations on Last Night's Phenomenal Episode of "Fringe"

5 hours ago | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »

Oh, Fringe, I've missed you. Last night's episode of Fringe ("August"), written by J.H. Wyman and Jeff Pinkner and directed by Brad Anderson, was to me the absolute ideal installment of the sci-fi procedural series. Despite being a close-ended plot about the disappearance of a young woman, it provided answers to some of Fringe's most enduring mysteries so far and broadened out the mythology of the series and the character's inner lives to boot. Plus, the series was firing on all cylinders, using each of its characters to their best effect: placing Olivia and Peter in the field in pursuit of the suspect, Walter and Astrid in the lab, and Broyles in an advisory capacity (and good to see they realized he'd still be injured after last week's events; nice continuity!). So what did I think about the episode? Let's discuss. As I mentioned earlier, I was head over »
