Sons of Tuscon premieres, Castle is back from hiatus. Season finales from  Psych, White Collar and Numb3rs (Series finale?).

Sons of Tuscon 1.01 – Pilot (FOX) Series Premiere

This is a new comedy and I will wait until a few episodes to say anything. Unless it totally rocks my world.

Sunday 14

In the tradition of “Malcolm in the Middle” and “The Bernie Mac Show,” SONS OF TUCSON is a family comedy about three brothers who hire a charming, wayward schemer to stand in as their father when their real one goes to prison. What begins as a business relationship evolves into something more complex and compelling: a family unlike any we’ve ever seen.

The three brothers find their dad-for-hire, Ron Snuffkin (Tyler Labine, “Reaper”), at the local sporting good store. Ron will be forced to draw on a wide array of skills and a vast bag of tricks as he steps into the patriarch role to take care of the boys of the Gunderson family.

Robby Gunderson (Davis Cleveland, “How I Met Your Mother”), 8, is a loose cannon who doesn’t respond well to authority;

Gary Gunderson (Frank Dolce, “Doubt”), 11, is a bright and street-savvy leader who is every bit the con man his father is;

Brandon Gunderson (Troy Gentile, “Entourage”), 13, is a gentle free spirit who simply goes along for the ride.

Maggie Morales (Natalie Martinez, “Saints & Sinners”), Robby’s second-grade teacher and the object of Ron’s affection, might just be the only stable figure in the lives of this quirky quartet.

While SONS OF TUCSON is grounded in the day-to-day challenges of a single-parent home, nothing in the Gunderson household is quite what it seems. An ongoing chess match between Ron and the boys will keep both parties on their toes, as neither side can afford to give up too much power or independence.

Pilot: When the Gunderson boys Brandon, Gary and Robby hire Ron Snuffkin to pretend to be their father after their real father goes to prison, they find out that there’s more to their “fake” dad than meets the eye. Ron has to enroll them in school, convince Robby’s teacher to keep him in her class, sweet-talk the principal, locate mint-condition toy soldiers at his grandmother’s house and avoid a thug who wants his money.

Vampire Diaries (Back After Hiatus)

Thursday, March 11

In the meantime, the main Vampire Diaries cast members gathered this weekend as part of a nationwide mall tour and answered questions from fans in Los Angeles. TV Guide Magazine was on hand for the event.

Asked what’s in store for Elena and Stefan, Paul Wesley replied:

There will always be conflict… Her mortality is a huge thing. What if she wants to turn? But for now they’re going to [be] a little less sort of serious and more like, ‘Let’s be a normal couple. Let’s laugh and do stuff that normal humans do.’

But for how long can Stefan and Elena be happy when Damon is around? A bored, aimless Damon (due to the news about Katherine), no less?

“Damon having idle time, not having a mission, is a very, very problematic situation,” Ian Somerhalder said. “I think there are more shenanigans [to come].”

Echoed Nina Dobrev: “I think his presence always has an effect on their relationship, even if he doesn’t do anything… You’re definitely going to see a Damon, Elena, Stefan trio, the three musketeers.”

We’re also gonna see at least one more flashback to 1864 before the season concludes.

Trauma will kick ass if they follow tru from this. Watch IT!

I’ll show you Parenthood to, it’s not my kind of TV but the Cast looks promising, promising indeed:

Mercy might be a strong contender in the hospital war. Romance, Adultry, Hot nurses. Point of View are from the nurses. Did I say Hot Nurses? :-)

Community is a hot new comedy. It got potential.

NBC will announce more later this month. Chuck is believed to be renewed then.
