Since being sexy is almost a requirement these days for young stars on soap operas, it's no surprise that Leven Rambin will undoubtedly win over more than her fair share of male admirers. The All My Children star joins the cast of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles for season 2 as John's new high school friend (though new doubt they'll stay just friends for long).

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is deserving of your attention. It's surprising that the series hasn't become a bigger phenomenon. Although it was, technically, the highest rated new series of the last TV season, this has a lot to do with The Sarah Connor Chronicles premiering in the middle of the writers' strike, against no competition, and after excessive hype from FOX. The series only aired nine episodes in its first season, but those were enough to kick off a worthy extension of the Terminator mythology, while creating something entirely its own. Show runner Josh Friedman has a clear vision for the franchise, and anyone who loves action or sci-fi owes it to themselves to tune in. If you missed the first season, no problem. Starting August 10, FOX will be re-airing the season in its entirety in the weeks leading up to the fall season.

The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles cast and crew are a jolly bunch. And, they probably should be. The series arrived last season with the utmost skepticism. Rightly so, too – film to television adaptations rarely work out. But, thanks to a lot of hype and an impressive pilot, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles became the highest-rated new show of last season. Today, the Comic-Con crowd was given a special sneak peek at the second season, plus a lively discussion with the entire cast, including newcomer Shirley Manson (lead singer of Garbage).

The second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is to premiere on September 8, and in anticipation of that, the show's producers and stars talked about upcoming changes to the program on their recent press tour in Los Angeles.
Like most shows, Terminator's first season was forced to pack up early due to the writers' strike, and producer Josh Friedman is intent on using some of the ideas for that season into the new season. “We had stuff planned for a whole season arc that we didn't get to and we're still working off some of the material in a macro sense, but in terms of the micro sense, it's different,” he said.

It's absolutely impossible for one person to attend San Diego Comic-Con and see everything of interest. The schedule is so jam-packed with panels, celebrities, special screenings and Q&As that things often overlap each other and create conflicts of interest. For example, if you want to see the stars of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles you're going to have to miss the panels for Lost and Heroes. Want to see the cast of Pushing Daisies? Prepare to miss the cast of Chuck. While Comic-Con is a TV fan's dream come true, it can also be a regular Sophie's Choice full of gut-wrenching decisions.
The folks behind Comic-Con recently released the busy schedule for Friday, July 25 and Saturday the 26th. Read on for all the important TV-related panels, and remember that BuddyTV will be reporting from the convention beginning next week.

Now that we're only a few months away from the kick off of the fall season, numerous television shows are recruiting new actors. Premiering programs are adding main cast members, returning series are booking recurring roles, and familiar faces from other shows are landing new, exciting jobs. It feels like nearly every actor in Hollywood is signing up for something. Let's just cross our fingers and hope that the rumored Screen Actors Guild strike, which could happen in July, doesn't derail things.
Today we have casting news for Knight Rider, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and a few other shows. Read on for all the details.

It's been obvious since Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles premiered that FOX thought very highly of the series. Their star-studded premiere of Terminator last January was a big, highly-hyped event, and the promotion for the series was far-reaching. FOX's belief in Terminator is not ill-founded; the series is good, a worthy entry into the Terminator canon. Though the series received respectable ratings numbers over its nine season one episodes, they probably weren't what FOX was hoping for. If The Sarah Connor Chronicles weren't inextricably linked to a massive film franchise (and, remember, FOX is making the fourth Terminator film as we speak) it probably wouldn't have been picked up for a second season. But, it was, and now FOX has to try and sell the show to TV viewers who declined to tune in for the first season. How will they do this? Well, FOX announced today that they will be airing all nine season one Terminator episodes in a span of two weeks this August.
