Casting News: Foley, Banks on 'Scrubs'; Willard on 'Pushing Daisies'

August 19, 2008

So far, a number of Scrubs people have announced that they will be leaving the show after season 8.  That list includes Judy Reyes, and, of course, Zach Braff.  On the heels of a less-than-stellar season, Scrubs also transferred homes from NBC, where it spent its first seven seasons, to ABC.  However, Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence did swear that Scrubs will go on forever, or at least up to season 9.  Now Reyes is saying that even Lawrence will be leaving the medical comedy after season 8.

Despite the major overhaul that the cast of Scrubs seems to be undergoing, Elizabeth Banks and Scott Foley both announced that they are returning to Sacred Heart for guest-appearances; Banks for a two-episode arc and Foley for one episode.  The two Scrubs alumni will still play J.D.'s love interest  and Sarah Chalke's ex respectively.

BuddyTV Fall 2008 Preview: Oscar Dahl's Top 5 Returning Shows

August 18, 2008

Lee Pace, Chi McBrideFor exclusive on-set videos and hot features on the new TV season, check out BuddyTV's Fall 2008 Preview.

Since we're keeping our Top 5 Returning Shows to series that premiere in the Fall, that eliminates 24 and Lost from contention (not to mention American Idol and Scrubs), so that makes things easier.  Cynics taking note of the state of modern television may be blinded by the cacophony of downright putrid reality programming on the cable networks (I'm looking at you, Dina and Ali Lohan), but don't be fooled: the upper echelon of television is currently better than it's ever been.  The sheer volume of good to great shows on network television is nearly staggering.  Every night, there is something of worth to be watched, and some nights (Monday, for instance) have almost too many quality options.  In previous years, finding five returning shows to get excited about might have been an arduous task.  This year, the options were vast.

Stephen Root Gets Role in 'Pushing Daisies'

August 4, 2008

Stephen RootIf you think about it, the return of the ABC hit series Pushing Daisies is still a long way, but that doesn't mean that there isn't anything going on behind the scenes of this creative show.  The series creator Brian Fuller revealed to Entertainment Weekly that actor Stephen Root has been tasked to play a guest role in the series.

Fuller says that his character “has a shared history with both Ned's (Lee Pace) dad and Chuck's (Anna Friel) dad.  He stirs up a lot of hullabaloo for everyone, particularly Aunts Lily and Vivian (Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene)."  He is set to appear in a four-episode story arc for the show's upcoming season.

Live from Comic-Con: Happy Happy Time with 'Pushing Daisies'

Check out the rest of our coverage from San Diego Comic-Con.


Fans of Pushing Daisies believe that it's a magical show, and the people who make it wholeheartedly agree.  It makes sense that the Pushing Daisies panel at Comic-Con was the most joyous panel I've been to all week.  Pushing Daisies is exactly what creator Bryan Fuller wanted it to be: an hour-long smile.  The crowd incessantly showed and spoke their praise for the series, its cast, and its creative team.  The cast heaped praise onto each other and Bryan Fuller.  Barry Sonnenfeld, the panel moderator and, as director of the pilot, creator of the show's all-important aesthetic, he could not contain his love for everything Pushing Daisies.  He loves Bryan and the actors.  On the panel were Bryan Fuller, with the entire cast: Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Kristin Chenoweth, Chi McBride, Swoozie Kurtz, and Ellen Greene

Live from Comic-Con: The Minds Behind 'Chuck', 'Lost', 'Terminator' and 'Pushing Daisies' Talk Shop

July 25, 2008

Check out the rest of our coverage from San Diego Comic-Con.

Entertainment Weekly is putting on a series of panels this year featuring “visionaries” from different mediums.  Today, they held their “TV Visionaries” panel.  The five-man panel featured some of the best and most well-known TV show runners working today: Josh Schwartz (The O.C., Chuck, Gossip Girl), Josh Friedman (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse (Lost), and Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies).  Moderated by Entertainment Weekly's Jeff Jensen, the panel took a light, introspective tone.  Or, at least that was the tone it took when Cuse and Lindelof weren't dodging specific Lost questions.  All five men showed a deep appreciation for the work of their peers.  It was a veritable love fest out there, the main link being Lost, which all three non-Lost show runners seem to love (especially Bryan Fuller).  But, mostly, the five smart men discussed television as a medium, what their influences are and gave a little inside info about their own shows.

Emmy Nominations Podcast: Best Actress - Comedy

July 16, 2008

Below is the audio of our discussion, and the ten semi-finalists for the category and the episode they sent in for consideration.

The Lead Actress category is a tough one to decipher.  You have the three ladies from Desperate Housewives, you have a wild card in Sarah Silverman, you have cable darling Mary Louise Parker, and you have the old veteran of Julia Louis-Dreyfus.  The overwhelming favorite is probably Tina Fey.
