First Look: Will Arnett visits 'Parks and Recreation'
2 hours ago | EW - Ausiello Files | See recent EW.com - The Ausiello Files news »
"It's a terrible first date," says Parks and Recreation showrunner Michael Schur of the Jan. 14 episode, which finds Amy Poehler's Leslie on a date with an Mri technician played by her real-life hubby, Will Arnett. "He finds out that she's never had an Mri, so he offers to give her a free one. She's trying to be a good sport, but suffice it to say, they don't have a second date." »

It's time to start worrying about One Life to Live
34 minutes ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
In 2009, the television industry closed shop on Guiding Light. In 2010, CBS will pull the plug on As the World Turns. Is it time to start worrying about One Life to Live, too? I'm afraid so. Over the holidays, One Life to Live posted horrible Nielsen numbers, the lowest ever in fact.
There are other reasons to be concerned about One Life to Live. All My Children was the New York soap opera that ABC decided to move to Hollywood. It was also the show that was transitioned to HD. One Life was not only left behind in New York -- in AMC's old studio space -- but the plans for it to begin broadcasting in high-def was delayed. ...It doesn't take a Rhodes scholar to see that One Life to Live is vulnerable and the network is not doing much to alter that impression.

Sneak Peek: the singing and dancing episode of How I Met Your Mother
58 minutes ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
More and more shows are doing musical episodes now. We've had The Simpsons doing several over the years, and then Buffy The Vampire Slayer had one too. Eli Stone had a lot of music and of course Glee takes it to a whole new level. Now How I Met Your Mother is getting into the act this Monday for its 100th episode. Here's a sneak peek. The episode is called "Girls vs. Suits" and you can see why.
Soon every show will have Neil Patrick Harris singing and dancing on it.

Barbasol + trucks + hot wife = America
2 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
You know what's weird about Barbasol shaving cream? Their cans come without a cap. That has always struck me as odd, as if they got lost in shipping and the store decided to put them on the shelves anyway.
That has nothing to do with this new commercial though. I don't know how effective it is. I thought it was a beer commercial at first, or possibly a truck ad.

Kim Kardashian's tweeting may have landed her in bit of trouble. Dr. Sanford Siegal, the creator of the Cookie Diet, has sued Kardashian, claiming she defamed him on Twitter.
Kim Kardashian gets sultry in new commercial

'The Bachelor': Ed and Jillian's 'special announcement' was a wedding date
2 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
That "special announcement" nixed from "The Bachelor" premiere? It was Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski setting a wedding date. Not, as one commenter guessed, that they were getting a dog.
ABC confirmed to Zap2it that Ed and Jillian decided not to air their wedding date announcement on Monday's premiere of "The Bachelor."
"The announcement was supposed to be about their wedding date. The couple filmed their premiere visit in October and thought revealing the information would infringe on their personal life once they thought about it," an ABC rep tells us. "They along with the producers decided not to air the announcement."
While we certainly respect Ed and Jillian's right to privacy, as fans of the couple we are disappointed we didn't get to see the big announcement Monday night. Hopefully sometime soon they'll decide to go public with their wedding date -- if they get down the aisle, »

Photos – The Vampire Diaries 1.11 "Bloodlines"
2 hours ago | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
The Vampire Diaries has not had a new episode in 50,000 years. At least, that's what it's felt like. So all you Vd fans (heh) will be happy to know that the show returns will all new episodes on January 21st. Like, Finally! You can also check out a promo for the new episodes that we previously posted.
The CW has released a few (very few) promo photos for the new episode, along with a synopsis. It's the synopsis that's the most interesting and I'll tell you why: because I think it debunks most of the rumors that were floating around the internet when the show was on hiatus. Which I will address in the next paragraph and which may be a bit spoilery – so just skip to the synopsis below if you don't want to read it.

Eternal Bonds: An Advance Review of Season Four of HBO's "Big Love"
2 hours ago | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »
Those of us who watch HBO's gripping drama series Big Love know that it's a series of contrasts: between light and darkness, love and hate, tolerance and injustice. The never-ending push and pull of these elements is what drives the series, which remains one of the most intelligent and emotionally resonant series on television today. (My only complaint: that more of you aren't watching it.) Season Four of Big Love, which begins this Sunday evening, picks up the threads that were left dangling at the end of the series' outstanding third season, which I rank as one of the very best complete seasons of television ever. Taut, provocative, and gut-wrenching, Season Three of Big Love pushed the Henrickson clan past their breaking point, throwing them on a series of soul-searching exercises as varied as a family road trip, excommunication, a new wife, and the unearthing of some long-buried secrets. (Not to mention storylines involving murder, »

'Project Runway 7' sneak peek: Personality back in style
3 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
It looks like the latest season of "Project Runway" is back on track.
While the rather lackluster sixth season of the Lifetime reality competition show lacked designers with any winning personalities, the promo for the seventh season appears to have that spark that was missing.
Or at least one designer, Anthony Williams, has plenty of personality for everybody. Check him out:
Check back with Zap2it for your first look at the models and the designers!
"Project Runway 7" premieres on Thursday, Jan. 14 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt on Lifetime.
What do you think? Are you "stacked, packed and ready to attack" the new season?

What You Missed Last Night: Triumph goes to a dog spa
3 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
Whether you love Conan's Tonight Show or hate it, you have to admit there aren't many "must see" segments on the show. Most of them are the segments where Conan or someone else goes on location somewhere. Like last night, when Triumph The Insult Comic Dog visited a spa that caters to dogs.
I'd like to see a casino for turtles.

James Bond 23 woos Sam Mendes
3 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
James Bond's fate may have taken an unexpected turn.
Director Sam Mendes is in talks to direct the 23rd installment of the popular 007 franchise, says The Hollywood Reporter.
Mendes, known for the Oscar-winning "American Beauty," isn't the most obvious choice for an action film director. He did, however, helm the war film "Jarhead" and has worked with 007 himself Daniel Craig before on "Road to Perdition." Mendes' latest film was the comedy "Away We Go" starring John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph.
MGM, which produces the Bond films, is currently up for sale though, so this may delay hiring any director for the job at the moment.
Production could begin as early as June, with a 2011 release in sight.

Channel Surfing: Team Darlton Talk "Lost" Final Season...
3 hours ago | Televisionary | See recent Televisionary news »
Welcome to your Wednesday morning television briefing. The Hollywood Reporter's James Hibberd has an interview with Lost showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse in which they speak about the looming ending of the iconic ABC series, which launches its sixth and final season next month. While Cuse and Lindelof's involvement with the franchise will end at that time, both were quick to point out that they don't own Lost and that the studio could revive the series in some fashion down the road. "The Walt Disney Co. owns Lost," said Cuse. "It's a franchise that's conservatively worth billions of dollars. It's hard to imagine Lost will rest on the shelves and nothing will ever be made with Lost. Eventually somebody will make something under the moniker of Lost -- whether we do it or not. We just made a commitment to this group of characters whose stories are coming to a conclusion this May. »

Discovery Channel also going 3D
4 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
The only way a 3D version of Espn could be cooler is if Espn aired some kind of awesome competition at the X-Games that involved skateboarders and sharks.
So until some stoned extreme sports team organizer invents "sharkboarding," we'll just have to settle with a three-dimensional Discovery Channel.
The network is teaming with Sony and IMAX to launch its own 3D, 24-hour channel by 2011. It doesn't say exactly what the programming will entail, but expect a lot of giant man-eating animals trying to jump out of your TV and claw their way up the food chain.

'Spider-Man 4' caught in villainous web of script delays
4 hours ago | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Damn you, "Spider-Man" villains and your interfering ways.
The fourth installment of the Marvel hero franchise was supposed to start production in spring, but that's been delayed due to an epic fight between Sony and director Sam Raimi about which criminal our webslinging hero should battle next, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Raimi, who fought to have the Vulture join Sandman in "Spider-Man 3" and lost, wants to go big on the Vulture this time around, whereas the studio would like to mix up Spider-Man's (Tobey Maguire) love life with a romance with a burglar known as the Black Cat and add another villain to be determined.
The road to "Spider-Man 4" has been fraught with peril and script rewrites, trying to meld the two visions. So far, James Vanderbilt, David Lindsay-Abaire, Gary Ross and Alvin Sargent have taken a shot at the story.
It's a tad premature to worry, »

Review: Scrubs - Our White Coats / Our Couples
4 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
(S09E07 / S09E08) I don't usually do a joint review when two episodes of a show air in the same night, but both these episodes were so interestingly similar in tone, that I felt it was better to discuss them together than separately. Also, I've got a case of the winter lazies.
But back to that first point: Many of you couldn't understand why I hated the episode on New Year's Day so much; many of you felt that it did a nice job of showcasing the med students as well as a maturing Turk and Elliot. But there was something so off about how those characters were written last week that it didn't sit well with me. This week's episodes showed me why. They also gave me a good indication of the pace and tone that Med School should settle into. Just hope it's not too late.

Consider yourself warned: Carlos Mencia is returning to television
5 hours ago | AOL - TVSquad | See recent AOL - TVSquad news »
Just when you thought you were rid of him, your television sucks him back in with a big emphasis on the "suck."
ABC approved a last minute deal for comedian Carlos Mencia to have his own sitcom.
The show will focus on his own life growing up in a "very large multigenerational immigrant family." How can we be sure its his actual family and not one that he stole from another comedian? Kidnapping is a still a felony offense, you know.
