Firefly at Comic-Con?!? Is the Serenity is a time-machine? Nope, fans just really love the show, even after it’s been gone a decade. This panel features Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, Alan Tudyk, Sean Maher, and Michael Fairman (Niska), as well as never-before-seen footage.

Fox has cancelled one of my favorite shows of this past season, The Finder. While cancelled shows rarely get renewed because of fan effort, there’s a bit more hope that they get picked up by a cable network instead.
I think USA Network should pick up The Finder.
The Finder is a perfect match for USA – zany, original characters having hilarious adventures while solving very real problems in unorthodox ways. In fact, when my brother first told me about the show, he thought it was on USA Network.
USA Network has a feedback page, where you can offer suggestions for shows. Scroll down to the email form, fill in your info, select USA Network Programming (Shows, Movies, Specials) under topic, then select Other – Suggest a Program near the bottom of the programs drop-down box. Write a brief note in the message box suggesting that USA Network pick up The Finder and explaining why the show would be a great fit for them.
Then spread the word to get other fans of The Finder to do the same! If enough people suggest the show, they will be able to see the strong fan support The Finder has, and be more willing to consider picking it up!
I love TVLine’s spoiler posts, and this one is full of info on shows I watch, like Castle, Bones, Community, Leverage, and more! Find out about Carrie Preston’s fate on True Blood and The Good Wife, the Bones bonus episode “The Gunk in the Garage”, and where New Girl’s Max Greenfield would love Schmidt’s relationship with Cece to go.

My Once Upon a Time wish came true! When Meghan Ory was promoted to series regular, I hoped Emilie de Ravin would receive a similar promotion, and she has! I’m looking forward to seeing a lot more of Belle in season 2 of Once Upon a Time, and I’m sure RumBelle fans are rejoicing! Rumpelstiltskin and Belle were recently voted as the #2 speculative couple here on TV Breakroom, beating out fellow Once Upon a Time couples Emma and Sheriff Graham, and Snow and Charming!

Fun interview with White Collar’s Matt Bomer! He talks about his upcoming movie, guest-starring on Glee (yes, I just played his rendition of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” for a friend this evening!), and how long he plans to stay on White Collar. There’s some discussion on more serious topics, including a bias against USA Network shows in the Emmys. But there are also some lighthearted yet insightful questions. For example, this:
Q: Neal Caffrey has to be one of the funnest characters to play.
A: He is. It’s so rare, especially as a younger actor, to find a role where it’s not just one-dimensional and it’s not just a stock leading man. He is smart, intelligent, slick. He has grace under fire. He’s excellent under pressure. He’s on point. He’s firing on all cylinders. But at the same time, he’s really a 4-year-old. He has terrible impulse control. He makes really irrational decisions, especially when it comes to anything romantically-inclined. He is a hopeless romantic to a fault. … It’s a real dream of a role to get to play. More and more, as I play the role over the years, I come to find so many things in my life that I thought were futile or silly at the time, that I may have studied or read about or practiced, led up to this opportunity for me.

Pellegrino will play Jarold Kempfer, an old high school buddy of Hank’s, whose daughter goes missing. What Hank doesn’t know is that his friend is also a coyotl, a coyote-like wesen.

Yay, after years of being a reoccurring cast member, Brian Dietzen has finally been promoted to series regular! Hoping he’ll end up in the season 10 intro!

Okay, this news is just amazing! Adam Baldwin (one of my favorite actors) is guest-starring on Leverage (one of my favorite shows)!
Baldwin and Leverage’s Christian Kane both appeared in Angel’s fifth season, and Kane’s character was one out of only two characters to appear in both the pilot and the finale of the show. Baldwin is best known to TV fans for playing Jayne on Firefly and John Casey on Chuck.
TV Guide shared this:
Baldwin will play the possibly recurring role Col. Michael Vance, an ex-Army Ranger who now runs a government counter-terrorism unit. However, Vance often ruffles the feathers of other intelligence community bureaucrats with his unorthodox method of recruiting small teams of agents — and even civilians — from a wide range of expertise. Sounds like the kind of guy who might call on Nate & Co. for help, right?

I’m excited about Meghan Ory’s promotion to series regular – I think Red can play a big part in the battle to take back the kingdom in fairy tale land. I’m also curious to see what her life will be like in Storybrooke – her dual nature and current unattachment (no kids, no significant other) open a wealth of possibilities. I’d love to see Emilie de Ravin (Belle) be made a series regular as well, though her scenes will likely only be on the Storybrooke side.

Here’s an interview with the new showrunner for Alphas, Bruce Miller (Eureka). What does season 2 hold for the team? For one thing, a new member, Detroit 1-8-7’s Erin Way. Plus the fallout of the world finding out Alphas exist. And a Civil War episode? Find out more at the link below!

Also, here’s a quick look at season 2:
The CW has finally corrected its too-short preview clips of new fall shows Arrow and Emily Owens, MD by releasing extended trailers!
Emily Owens, MD will air Tuesdays at 9, following fellow medical drama, Hart of Dixie. The show stars Mamie Gummer, Justin Hartley (who played the Green Arrow on Smallville), Kelly McCreary, and Michael Rady (who I’m most familiar with as Kostos in the Sisterhood movies; he’s also been reoccurring on The Mentalist and House of Lies recently). WARNING: This preview seems to give away the entire plot of the pilot, so if you’re already eager to watch it, I’d skip the trailer.
Arrow will air Wednesdays at 8, and will be followed by Supernatural. From this trailer, Arrow looks dark, intriguing, and awesome! This isn’t No Ordinary Family, or even The Cape – bad guys aren’t likely to be tied up and left for the police. And from The Hunger Games to The Avengers, archers are “in” right now. I’d describe this show as Hawkeye meets Batman meets The Count of Monte Cristo (only with an island instead of a prison). Arrow stars Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy (Monte Carlo, Melrose Place), Susanna Thompson (Kings, NCIS), Willa Holland, and Paul Blackthorne (The River).
Another spoiler post, this one full of news about shows I love! Some highlights:
Those hoping for some Finder action on Bones aren’t crazy: Don’t think the thought hasn’t crossed the mind of the man in charge of both shows. “I would love that so much,” says Hanson. “But you would have to make sure it wasn’t self-indulgent. And I don’t have a sense right now how much the Bones audience would like to see that. And I don’t know if the Finder audience would want it to happen. But I personally think it would be great.” Hanson concedes that he’s still “exceedingly depressed” about The Finder‘s cancellation, confessing, “It’s hard to let go.” He also says that after some “initial wariness,” the Bones cast warmed up to “the Finder upstarts,” adding, “They all became very fond of each other. David [Boreanaz] really liked working with Geoff [Stults]. They got along terrifically well, so it would be fun to have them on [Bones].”
White Collar’s Sara Ellis will be in several episodes of season 4, but she won’t be a regular cast member (yay!).
Once Upon a Time will pick up right where it left off, and be on the lookout for more Disney princesses getting their stories told!
