What is SNAP JUDGMENT, you ask?

So which show amused us today?
HART OF DIXIE!
Look, there might be nothing special about this photo by the time the episode actually airs, but Lemon is looking particularly fierce here, right?

Read on to see what’s new tonight, and let us know what you’ll be watching!

CASTLE: Stana Katic Previews ‘Kill Shot’ and Teases an Upcoming Noir Episode
November 20, 2011 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, Castle
CASTLE’s Beckett has gone through a lot in the three-plus seasons we’ve known her, but in Monday’s brand new episode, fans will see a side of her we’re not used to — vulnerable and out of control. It’s one of my favorite hours the show has done thus far and Stana Katic (Beckett) clearly took the opportunity to shine as Beckett unravels.
I sat down with Katic after her recent SAG Foundation panel and she talked about what it was like to watch “Kill Shot” for the first time (with a whole group of strangers!) and what it took for her to tap into Beckett’s darker place. Plus, is there a noir episode coming our way?!

FRINGE Recap: ‘Wallflower’
November 19, 2011 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under Fringe Recap
“I’ve been investigating Fringe events for three years. I never thought I’d become one.”
Oh, Peter. You are a Fringe event, but unfortunately for you, you aren’t what the team is investigating this week.
Part of the fun of FRINGE for me is their opening credits. I don’t know how closely you pay attention to the words in the various versions (and yes, they are different in each color), but the word that always prompts a chill to run down my spine in this new universe is the inclusion of “existence.” While Peter is the obvious tie-in, tonight’s hour brought a whole new layer of heartbreak to the mix.
CHUCK Recap: ‘Chuck vs. the Business Trip’
November 19, 2011 by Al Mosier
Filed under Chuck, Chuck Recaps

THE MISSION- Carmicheal Industries has no paying client (yet again!). After their big score with the U.S. Government they find they must protect one of their own. Clyde Decker, the C.I.A.’s agent you love to hate, has posted a kill order on Morgan Grimes. With the help of General Beckman and a pair of slick new shades, Morgan is de-intersected. The hit is called off, with the exception of “The Viper,” an assassin that goes dark and is unreachable whom Decker says he may have used on purpose. Chuck plans to lure “The Viper” out of hiding by pretending to be Morgan at the Buy More sales convention.

BONES may be off next week for the Thanksgiving holiday, but Fox just sent out a screener for the December 1st episode, “Male in the Mail.” And while that may seem like painful boasting to you guys, the good news is that after I viewed the hour, I answered a few of your burning questions!

Want New Episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT? You Got It! Find Out Where and When

Filed under #1 featured, Arrested Development

At long last…it’s actually happening.
Are you ready for this?
New episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT are coming our way in 2013. Yes, I said new episodes.
According to Variety, Netflix has worked out a deal with 20th Century Fox and Imagine Television to bring the Bluth’s back. The studio just confirmed a deal with the streaming service that will launch new episodes of the Emmy-winning comedy as early as 2013.
Last month, at The New York Television Festival ,the producers announced that the much discussed ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT movie was indeed happening, but the news of new episodes took a lot of fans by surprise.
Star Jason Batemen confirmed the news via Twitter saying, “It’s true. We will do 10 episodes and the movie. Probably shoot them all together next summer for a release in early ’13. VERY excited!”
We hear you Jason, and we are VERY excited, too.
Where are all by Bluth-heads? Are you all excited for the return of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT? Talk to me.

Filed under #1 featured, ABC, TV News
Oh, ABC…how could you?!
Just days after NBC caused an uproar by benching COMMUNITY, ABC’s midseason schedule was just revealed sans the already MIA COUGAR TOWN.
Sigh.
Also missing from the midseason schedule (so far) are the Shonda Rhimes-produced SCANDAL and new comedy DON’T TRUST THE B—- IN APT. 23.
The good news is there are some excellent midseason shows debuting in 2012 from ABC, so take a look at those premiere dates…

‘Tis the season to…panic like crazy if you’re supposed to cook for the holidays and you have absolutely no talent in the kitchen.
So what’s a girl to do?
To try and get some holiday advice, I went to THE CHEW’s New York set and talked with co-hosts Carla Hall and Daphne Oz. Which Thanksgiving dish is the most fun for them to prepare? And what wisdom do they have for people who aren’t great cooks in order to help them survive the season?
Take a look…
NIKITA Preview: ‘Fair Trade’
November 18, 2011 by Marisa Roffman
Filed under #1 featured, Nikita
With things ending pretty dramatically for Michael and Nikita in last week’s episode of NIKITA, the momentum doesn’t slow down in tonight’s brand new hour, “Fair Trade.”
If you need an incentive to watch, Nikita manages to be badass (make sure to check out the clip below for one of crazy-awesome moves) and intensely vulnerable as she continues on without her absent boyfriend. The episode also features one my all-time favorite Maggie Q scenes of the series, but I don’t want to say too much to spoil it.
Elsewhere, as if Amanda wasn’t scary enough before, her tactics in tonight’s hour will make you squirm. She’s badass in an entirely evil way.
Intrigued? Check out this clip from “Fair Trade”…

It seems DEXTER’s time isn’t up quite yet — Showtime has officially renewed the series for two more seasons.
“DEXTER’s enormous success is a real tribute to the great achievements of its cast, producers, and the powerhouse performance of Michael C. Hall,” David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc, said in a statement. “The series is bigger than it’s ever been in its sixth season, both in terms of audience and its impact on the cultural landscape. Together with Michael, the creative team on the show has a very clear sense of where they intend to take the show over the next two seasons and, as a huge fan, I’m excited to watch the story of Dexter Morgan play out.”
Michael C. Hall added, “On behalf of the entire DEXTER family, we relish the invitation to delve ever deeper into Dexter’s world.”
What do you think? Are you happy DEXTER will be on our screens for at least two more years?
