PLAYING HOUSE is ending its season with a special back-to-back block of episodes. At 10 PM, Maggie and Emma help Mark put on a policeman’s ball. And at 10:30, the women are determined to see Kenny Loggins’ concert while he’s in town…but unfortunately their plan goes awry. (And, as you can see in the photo on the left, that prompts the return of Maggie’s alter ego, Bosephus.)

Loggins is appearing as himself in the finale (appropriately called “Celebrate Me Scones”), but he isn’t the only familiar face to expect: LOUIE’s Pamela Adlon is also guesting in the final episode of the year.

“We had Pamela Adlon [for the finale]…for this beautiful scene with [Zach Woods’ Zach],” Jessica St. Clair (Emma) shared on the set of the finale. “And she’s been one of our favorites. We actually saw her at the WGA Awards [for LOUIE]…and so we went into the writers’ room, wrote her a part, wrote her a letter, that looks like we’ve been stalking her her whole life — which we have.”

PLAYING HOUSE went all out for its second season finale: the beloved USA Network comedy nabbed Kenny Loggins for a guest spot.

Emma and Maggie’s love of Loggins’ music was a delightful part of the series (starting all the way back with the pilot), and the finale finds the duo trying to get into one of his concerts. (Loggins plays himself in the episode.)

I was on the set of the PLAYING HOUSE finale — right before creators/stars Lennon Parham (Maggie) and Jessica St. Clair (Emma) met/filmed with Loggins — and the duo was still giddy about landing him for their show.

RAISING HOPE: Logo.

RAISING HOPE’s Mike Mariano opted to give the underrated Fox comedy proper closure in its season 4 finale in case the show wasn’t renewed for a fifth season (he bet correctly), and so the Chances ended on a quiet note…with the exception of Virginia’s father, Arnold, moving into Jimmy’s old room.

I spoke with Mariano about the ending, what season 5 ideas they had, getting Kenny Loggins, and more…
