Most Memorable TV Wedding Episodes

By

Many of us love to watch weddings on TV more so if they involve our favorite drama or comedy series. An event such as the tying of the knot provides a great relief to the emotions and all the drama that takes place. It’s magnetic and something that touches the heart.

Ross and Emily of Friends

For sure you have your own favorite TV weddings. Here we share some of the best episodes that saw the main characters starting their happily ever after journey.

Grey’s Anatomy featured the most unique twist of events. Izzie played by Katherine Heigl took charge in organizing the wedding of Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) and she planned it according to her dream wedding. In The engaged couple agreed to Izzie’s every detail and in the end, the wedding planner also ended up saying “I do” to Alex (Justin Chambers) while Meredith and Alex exchanged vows via the post-it.

New TV Dramas to Watch Out For

By

Do you often find yourself in tears, falling in love or feeling the action when watching TV dramas? Do you feel that you can’t live without watching them every day of the or at least a few times each week?

You have a reason to rejoice as new TV dramas are set to be launched during this first quarter of 2013.
The_Carrie_Diaries
First up, The Carrie Diaries premiers on January 14. Considered a prequel to Sex and the City, 16-year-old AnnaSophia Robb plays the lead role. The series starts in a 1984 setting with Carrie dealing with the loss of her mom and her high school life in suburban Connecticut. Then came the opportunity to work as an intern in a law firm in Manhattan, New York where the youngster became in awe of her new environment and many things about it.

The Following is another new show to watch out for. Airing on January 21, this crime series stars Kevin Bacon who is trying out the small screen for the first time. In this drama, Kevin plays the role of Ryan Hardy, a former federal agent who was called back to work. Apparently, the serial killer he helped catch and who was sentenced to death was able to escape from prison. So expect a lot of action from Kevin Bacon here. [Read more…]

Fox orders 5 new shows, renews Lie to Me & Human Target

By

Ahead of its upfront presentations next week, Fox has announced five new series it has picked up for the Fall 2010 season, as well as two (somewhat  unexpected) renewals: Lie to Me and Human Target. Neither of those shows are huge hits in the ratings, but Lie to Me has an A-list star, and Fox might be looking to Human Target to fill the “action hour” void that 24 is going to leave on the schedule.

The five new shows Fox ordered are:

  • RideAlong – an hour-long police drama from creator Shawn Ryan about a cowboy-style cop and a female police chief who try to clean up the streets of Chicago.
  • Midland – a drama about a con artist working in the oil industry. (Boy, that show practically writes itself, doesn’t it?)
  • Keep Hope Alive – a single-camera comedy from creator Greg Garcia about a single parent.
  • Traffic Light – another single-cam comedy centering on male relationships.
  • Wilde Kingdom – a single-cam rom-com starring Will Arnett as a hedonistic Beverly Hills resident who falls in love with an environmentalist, charitable woman who hates his lifestyle and values.

It looks like with those last three, Fox is hoping to build an entire night of back-to-back live-action comedy as a companion to its entirely animated Sunday night of comedy.

NBC orders The Event + 2 more

By

NBC has picked up three new series for its fall season — ahead of the much-anticipated “fall upfront” announcements that are coming in a few days.

Perhaps most exciting of the three is The Event, a high octane conspiracy thriller starring Jason Ritter (pictured) as an everyman who investigates the disappearance of his fiancee, and unwittingly begins to expose the biggest cover-up in U.S. history. His quest will send ripples through the lives of an eclectic band of strangers, including the newly elected U.S. President, the leader of a group of mysterious detainees, and the main character’s own father-in-law. NBC’s press release states, “Their futures are on a collision course in a global conspiracy that could ultimately change the fate of mankind.”

Outsourced is a new comedy by one of the producers of The Office. It’s about a culture clash that occurrs when an “all-American company” that sells novelty items outsources its call center to India. Todd Dempsy stars as the company’s new manager who learns that he’s being transferred to India to run the new call center.

Lastly, Love Bites is an hour-long romantic comedy anthology (there’s three words you don’t see together often), featuring three loosely connected, modern stories of love, sex, marriage, and dating. Each episode contains multiple vignettes, all illuminating the theme of love with an edgy, irreverent spin. Becki Newton and Jordana Spiro anchor the series with their ongoing tales of attempted romance, while other characters will come and go each week.

NBC is proving to be the most web-savvy network of the new season, as it’s already registered Twitter accounts for all three series: @NBCTheEvent, @OutsourcedNBC, and @NBCLoveBites.

Nurse Jackie Back and In Great Shape

By

Nurse JackieShowtime series’ really do justice to their motto “TV at it’s best.” I very rarely watch the movies but am really hooked with their “dramedies”. I first got hooked with Weeds then Dexter and now, on its second season it seems like Nurse Jackie (played by Edie Falco) will be another one on my “must follow” list.

I actually missed most of season’s 1 episode and only saw the last couple but even they were enough to grab my attention. Who wouldn’t enjoy seeing her sleight of hand as she lectures the hospital staff about taking just the right number of prescription meds from the dispensing machine that has been document while tucking away an extra vial for her personal use (though someway along the road she’ll surely get caught if only for the drama it bring)? Who wouldn’t want to watch as Jackie as she lets her walls down more often at work? And who wouldn’t want to see the other characters’ stories get more colorful? This season it’s obvious that things are starting to stir up with the comic reliefs (Mrs. Akatilus) getting more serious screen time without of course losing the comic edge of the entire show. The truth though is that while I find myself laughing  I end up identifying more with the tragic side of Nurse Jackie, a thing I found/find myself doing with Dexter and Weeds. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nurse Jackie’s humour starts getting darker as well. It’s ok though, because no one does it better than Showtime.
