Tonight’s a big night for GLEE fans: It’s the last Regionals for seniors, including Finn, Rachel and Kurt. Who will win? What will they sing? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

If you’re not a fan of the New Directions (Don’t tell Kath!), check out the new episode of COUGAR TOWN. Yes, I will be promoting it every week because I don’t want it to get canceled!

SMASH Recap: Enter Mr. DiMaggio (with Musical Numbers)

Oh no…

Please tell me they were kidding.

After two weeks of promising television, building legitimate buzz among mainstream audiences, THIS is the direction that SMASH had to go?

“Enter Mr. DiMaggio” was the weakest of SMASH’s first three episodes, and could not have come at a worse time for NBC to maintain momentum behind the show. After an impressive debut, SMASH lost over twenty-five percent of its audience in week two. To hold those viewers, and justify the program’s large production budget, NBC has very little room for error.

Sadly, “Enter Mr. DiMaggio” was a comedy of errors.

ALCATRAZ: Sarah Jones Talks ‘Johnny McKee,’ Why Rebecca is Keeping Her Cool and More

As if poor Rebecca Madsen hasn’t had enough problems during the first season of ALCATRAZ, the tease for tonight’s brand new episode says, “more details emerge about Madsen’s grandfather.” And given that so far her grandfather has killed her partner and was revealed to be an inmate at Alcatraz, odds are this isn’t going to be news that is particularly bright and shiny.

So what’s to come? I talked with ALCATRAZ star Sarah Jones (Rebecca) about “Johnny McKee,” dealing with those pesky serial killers, and why she’s happy with Doc and Rebecca remaining platonic…
