San Diego Comic-Con Releases Friday Schedule

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:18:02 GMT

First, let's get this out in the open: initial reports said that Supernatural and Smallville will have their panels on Sunday so don't freak out that the shows aren't included in the first two days.

Other than that, Friday's schedule looks amazing. Although my TV favorites aren't on the list, my movie favorites are. There a a couple more timing conflicts and I'm guessing that people are going to have to make some tough choices. When in doubt, stick with Whedon, Rodriguez, Cameron and Jackson.

Below are my picks for Friday's schedule. Once again, it was hard to narrow down the list. Check out the full schedule here.

Check out the other schedules: Thursday Saturday Sunday

Eli Stone: Preview of Episode 2.11 "Mortal Combat"

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:46:02 GMT

On tonight's episode of Eli Stone - the second since its return last week and the third before it finally bids goodbye for good - we encounter the case of the news anchor that's been removed from his job. Either he was fired or resigned, there appears to be something more to the case, and both sides are determined to go to court and not settle.

Also, after sleeping with Maggie (Julie Gonzalo), Eli (Jonny Lee Miller) faces off against her in their latest trial, only to realize that she has become quite a formidable attorney. Meanwhile, Matt (Sam Jaeger) tries to assist his former firm - which ultimately leads to a profound decision on his part.

'Eli Stone' Returns with "Sonoma"

editor@buddytv.com — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 01:39:06 GMT

If you turn on your television and see Eli Stone, don't jump for joy just yet. Yes, the ABC legal dramedy will make its return tonight after nearly six months of absence, but only to air the last four episodes en route to its second and final season, set to conclude on July 11.

On "Sonoma" a news anchor from one of the biggest media corporation loses his job, resulting in Eli, Taylor, Matt, and Maggie to share an awkward car ride to Sonoma to question a witness.

editor@buddytv.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 03:05:44 GMT

Not the whole canceled ABC show; but the actor who plays the titular character on the dramedy Eli Stone is set to head to Broadway after being cast in the upcoming production of After Miss Julie, the Roundabout Theater Company reports.

British actor Jonny Lee Miller, 36, who stars as the modern-day prophet candidate and San Francisco lawyer Eli Stone, will likewise play the title character on the Broadway stage in its American premiere. The new version of August Strindberg's stage drama Miss Julie is also his Broadway debut.

Eli Stone: Preview of Episode 2.8 "Owner of a Lonely Heart"

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 06:00:00 GMT

Last week on Eli Stone, Eli (Jonny Lee Miller) was setup on a date with Ashley Cardiff (Bridget Moynahan), one of Dr. Chen's (James Saito) patients. Tonight, the Six Degrees actress reprises her role as Eli's love interest in the episode called “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” in which Eli is determined to find out if he'll ever find true love.

Eli Stone: Preview of Tonight's Episode, Plus Jonny Lee Miller Becomes a Dad

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 07:00:00 GMT

With Eli Stone halfway through its second and final season, fans are getting more and more eager to find out what the future holds for the baffling attorney. But before the show closes its curtains, viewers still have a handful of remaining episodes to enjoy, including tonight's installment which features musical guest Seal.

Read on for a preview of “Help,” the seventh episode of Eli Stone's sophomore season.

ABC Cancels 'Pushing Daisies,' 'Dirty Sexy Money' and 'Eli Stone'

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:37:01 GMT

Pushing Daisies has been canceled. Dirty Sexy Money has been canceled. Eli Stone has been canceled. ABC isn't using that dreaded c-word in its statements today, but it matters not. You can't argue your way out of reality, and semantics only serve to soften the blow. The producers on all three of those shows were informed today that ABC would not be picking up the second halves of their respective seasons, and that they have no intention of ever ordering new episodes. This is the harsh reality of the television business, but it is little solace to the fans, rabid as they were, for each of these three shows. That shows like Two and a Half Men and CSI: Miami can thrive while the likes of Pushing Daisies are largely ignored is at once unfathomable and depressing.

'Law and Order' Alum Joins 'Eli Stone'

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 09:00:00 GMT

After the much-hyped about appearance of Mrs. Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Eli Stone welcomes Jamey Sheridan on the show. Sheridan played Captain Deakins on Law and Order: Criminal Intent for more than five seasons and was also on Chicago Hope.

Sheridan will play an evening news anchor on Eli Stone, who is "banished" to 5 am Siberia when his reporting starts raising the hackles of network advertisers. When he gets sacked eventually, Eli and the gang must navigate around the sticky wicket of an incriminating email in which Sheridan's character effectively quit, thus voiding his lucrative, multi-year contract. Of course, there should be something more to it than meets the eye.

'Shark' Actress To Guest Star on 'Eli Stone'

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Another guest star has been added to Eli Stone's star-studded sophomore season. Most recently, Shark's Danielle Panabaker has signed on to join the cast of the ABC surrealistic drama about an attorney who is discovered to have a brain aneurysm that causes hallucinations or, as Dr. Chen suggests, divinely inspired visions of the future.

Not much has been revealed about Panabaker's role on Eli Stone though Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello reports that her involvement on the show is quite big. Fans will just have to stay tuned for more updates.

Eli Stone: Preview of Episode 2.3 "Unwritten"

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 05:00:00 GMT

Last week on Eli Stone, Eli found himself attracted to a mysterious girl (Katie Holmes) who initially came to him as part of his vision. At the same time, Eli and Maggie represented a father who's trying to stop his son who died in Iraq, from receiving a military burial. In tonight's episode, however, viewers will learn something shocking about Eli's visions, a twist that no body, not even Eli, will see coming.

Read on to find out what's in store for “Unwritten.”

Katie Holmes Returns to TV Tonight on 'Eli Stone'

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 06:00:00 GMT

Tonight's installment of Eli Stone marks the return of Katie Holmes to the small screen after the teen drama Dawson's Creek as Joey Potter, a role she portrayed five years ago. It also marks her reunion with show co-creator and executive producer Greg Berlanti, whom she previously worked with on Dawson's Creek.

As hinted previously, the appearance of Holmes on Eli Stone will involve a song and dance number when Eli has one of his visions. To find out more about tonight's episode, read on.

ABC Wants More 'Eli Stone'

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Eli Stone has garnered much buzz in the couple of months before its sophomore season aired, and this is much due to the fact that their new season is very star-studded. We have numerous reports on the distinguished actors and actresses who will be gracing Eli Stone, and among them are Dawson’s Creek actress Katie Holmes and Academy Award-nominee Sigourney Weaver.

Meanwhile, the more important point to consider is that ABC has reached an early decision regarding the fate of Eli Stone. It’s highly unusual that the network decides before the ratings are released, but ABC has moved forward and ordered four additional scripts of the show.

'Eli Stone' Finds Big Faith and a Little 'Alias'

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 23:26:02 GMT

Eli Stone returned for its second season bigger and better than ever. The season 2 premiere featured a big musical number, powerful visions and a dramatic court case involving Jordan Wethersby trapped in a collapsing bank. But this wasn't any normal bank, it was Credit Dauphine.

Fans of the J.J. Abrams spy drama Alias let out a collective squeal of delight at the mention of the bank's name because Credit Dauphine was the bank Sydney Bristow pretended to work at as a cover for SD-6. The reason this reference was so positively awesome was that it involved Jordan, played by Alias star Victor Garber.

'Eli Stone' Returns Tonight for Season 2

editor@buddytv.com — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 05:00:00 GMT

Tonight marks the return of Eli Stone, ABC's legal dramedy that stars Jonny Lee Miller as an attorney who is discovered to have a brain aneurysm that causes hallucinations or, as Dr. Chen suggests, divinely inspired visions of the future. The second season opener was written by Marc Guggenheim, whose credits include Brothers & Sisters, CSI: Miami and Law and Order, and Andrew Kreisberg, whose credits include Boston Legal and Hope & Faith.

But before we find out about what's in store for tonight's episode, let's revisit last season's finale. When we last saw Eli Stone, Eli took a case involving a cancer-stricken man, who wanted to die with dignity, which was intertwined with the aftermath of Eli's surgery to remove his brain aneurysm. In the process of Eli's operation, he had a face-to-face meeting with God, who came in the form of George Michael.

'Six Degrees' Star Joins 'Eli Stone'

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 07:00:00 GMT

Bridget Moynahan, who portrayed Whitney Crane on Six Degrees, has signed on to appear on ABC's Eli Stone. According to TV Guide, the 37-year-old actress will be playing a love interest for the visionary title character, though her duration run on the sophomore drama is unclear yet at this point.

This marks the latest casting news for Eli Stone. As mentioned before, the upcoming season of Eli Stone will also feature Dawson's Creek alum Katie Holmes as a lawyer, Academy Award-nominated actress Sigourney W.aver as a therapist, and multiple Grammy Award-winner Seal, who will appear as himself in an episode, which will tentatively air in late October or early November.

'Eli Stone' Adds Another Face to the New Season

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:00:00 GMT

As early as now, fans are clamoring for the star-studded sophomore season of Eli Stone, which continues on from where we left off last season, when Eli (Jonny Lee Miller) came face to face with God himself, who closely resembled who else but George Michael?

We recently reported that the upcoming season of Eli Stone will be filled with some Hollywood A-listers including Dawson’s Creek actress, Katie Holmes. Holmes is said to be portraying a lawyer who will break into song in one of Eli’s visions. Add to the list Academy Award-nominated Sigourney Weaver, who will be playing a therapist who will try to figure out the on goings inside Eli’s precious brain. This weekend, TV Guide reports that another celebrity has joined the list of guest stars in the upcoming sophomore season of Eli Stone.

Following a series of movie projects, Katie Holmes returns to the small screen to guest star on ABC's Eli Stone this coming fall.

ABC Upfront Preview: 'Boston Legal' Renewed, 'Scrubs' Switches Network

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 12 May 2008 16:27:06 GMT

While many networks might be in trouble next Fall due to the writers' strike shrinking the new pilot season, ABC is looking quite good. It has a solid stable of returning favorites (Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives), hit reality shows (The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars) and a solid 2007 freshman class that will return for sophomore seasons (Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, Samantha Who?). This doesn't leave much room for new or bubble shows, so this season ABC is cleaning out its closet, dumping a lot of iffy shows while picking up a few gems from other networks.

'Eli Stone' Maiden Season Ends with Moderate Numbers and Uncertain Future

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 05:30:00 GMT

Thursday night was the finale of the first season of the surrealistic drama, Eli Stone. By many accounts, the series chose a perfect ending to its experimental maiden season. But will it be enough to merit another go for Jonny Lee Miller and the rest of the Eli Stone cast and crew?

To date, Eli Stone's cast, crew and fans are still waiting for news from ABC on whether the show will get a second season. And, as far as the finale's numbers go, there remains no solid basis to achieve any certainty of its return unless the network finally says so.

TV Tonight: Thursday, April 17

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:25:39 GMT

Every day, we here at BuddyTV will let you know all the new shows airing that night to help you plan your TV-viewing schedule. In addition, we’ll highlight two episodes we think are worth checking out to help diversify your love of TV.

Tonight is full of repeats from both Lost and CSI, so I’ve decided to do something a bit different: in addition to promoting one new episode tonight, I’m going to spotlight a repeat that you may have missed the first time because you were too busy watching new episodes of Lost. It’s an episode of the CW’s Supernatural called “Mystery Spot,” and it’s a Groundhog Day-inspired tale that will make you laugh and cry.

'Eli Stone' Gets a Glimpse of the Future on Tonight's Episode

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 09:00:00 GMT

Last week on Eli Stone, Eli's visions propelled him back in time to the day his father died. At the same time, his brother Nathan was being sued for giving a heart transplant to another patient. By the end of the episode, Eli finally understood the emotional secret his brother has been hiding for years and made amends as he got the chance he missed to say goodbye to his father. Eli also learned that Matt slept with Taylor.

The comedy-drama continues tonight as Eli Stone takes viewers to the possible future that lies ahead for the mercenary attorney. After his larger-than-life visions, caused by his inoperable brain aneurysm, prove to be more and more truthful than ever before, Eli must now face the painful reality waiting to unfold.

Miller "Not Fatalistic" About 'Eli Stone'

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 06:00:00 GMT

Jonny Lee Miller is happy to have landed a starring role on American television, but experience has taught him that one shouldn't express too much enthusiasm nor expect great results every time something good like this happens.

“Everyone was very excited about Smith,” Miller told Boston Herald, referring to ABC's short-lived drama in which he starred, “and it's the same thing with Eli Stone. Now I'm not fatalistic about it. But it's just that I know not to get overexcited and not to expect certain things to happen.”

Pilot Review: You Gotta Have Faith in 'Eli Stone''

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 20:35:19 GMT

As George Michael sings in the pilot episode of Eli Stone, this show is about “faith.” It's rare for television to offer a substantive program that deals with religion. On the spectrum of religious TV, Eli Stone falls somewhere between the esotericism of John from Cincinnati and the naïve simplicity of 7th Heaven.

Eli Stone, premiering tonight at 10pm on ABC following the season premiere of Lost, tells the story of a young lawyer (Johny Lee Miller) who suddenly begins to hear and see things that aren't really thee, from cable cars in his building's lobby to George Michael performing a concert in his living room. Over the course of the premiere, he attempts to understand the significance of this.
