True Blood have had an amazing third season with some twisted turns and characters, The Gates had a shaky start but has been picking up steam. Of the non genre shows Covert Affairs has been the best of the new ones, but Jake2.0 and Coyote Ugly in a Club Med CIA can’t avoid being good.

New On TV in July 2010

TV Series View Comments
Jun 302010

July is here with a full harvest of entertaining summer TV.  In the new series that premieres this month we have a village that hides a secret in Syfy’s Haven, young CIA agent action in Covert Affairs and science versus gut feeling in Rizzoli & Isles.

Some great returning shows this month too especially Warehouse 13 and Eureka.

We have the ongoing Futurama, The Gates and True Blood to keep us company too.

New Series

Haven – Series Premiere (Syfy). I might be too scared to watch this. I loved most of the Movies and TV miniseries made of Kings works. The promos are thin in content but makes me want to watch.

Syfy’s all-new one-hour drama series Haven, starring Emily Rose (Jericho, Brothers and Sisters) is based on the novella The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King. The series follows the shrewd and confident FBI agent Audrey Parker (Rose) who has a lost past, and arrives in the small town of Haven, Maine on a routine case. Before long, her natural curiosity lands her in the epicenter of activity in this curious enclave, which turns out to be a longtime refuge for people that are affected by a range of supernatural afflictions.

As the townspeople’s dormant abilities begin to express themselves, Audrey helps keep these forces at bay while discovering the many secrets of Haven — including one surrounding her own surprising connections to this extraordinary place.

Covert Affairs - Series Premiere (USA) Tuesday July 13.

Good with some light summer entertainment, Mr Jake 2.0 is in it too beside Piper Perabo who I liked since Coyote Ugly in 2000. CSI-SciFi expected.

In COVERT AFFAIRS, USA’s newest original series, we meet Annie Walker (Piper Perabo), a young CIA trainee who is suddenly thrust into the inner sanctum of the agency after being promoted to field operative. While it appears that she has been hand-picked for her exceptional linguistic skills, it may be something from her past that her CIA bosses are really after. Christopher Gorham plays Auggie Anderson, a CIA military intelligence agent, blinded while on assignment, and Annie’s guide in this world of bureaucracy, excitement and intrigue.

Peter Gallagher is Arthur Campbell, the formidable director of Clandestine Services for the CIA. Sendhil Ramamurthy plays Jai Wilcox, an agent with a rich family history within the walls of the CIA. Anne Dudek plays Danielle, a married mother of two and Annie’s older sister who knows nothing of Annie’s life as a spy. Kari Matchett plays Joan, head of the CIA’s Domestic Protection Division…and Arthur’s wife.

Rizzoli & Isles –  Series Premiere (TNT) July 12. This is a series I hope work out, I like the synopsis.

RIZZOLI & ISLES follows Boston detective Jane Rizzoli (Harmon) and medical examiner Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander), complete opposites and good friends who solve crimes and bust some of Boston’s most notorious criminals. Growing up at opposite ends of the economic spectrum, the two remain strikingly different from one another in many ways. Jane, the only female detective in Boston’s homicide division, is a tough and gutsy cop who doesn’t let her guard down (except with Maura), dodges her overprotective mother and is better at basketball than her brother. Maura, meanwhile, is usually more comfortable among the dead than the living. She is always impeccably dressed in designer duds with a steady, sometimes icy temperament. And she is working on curbing her tendency to diagnose the people she meets – including her first dates. Jane and Maura often find themselves working together as both use their brilliant minds and expertise to figure out the “who done it” as well as the “how done it” of Boston’s most complex cases.

Despite their many differences, Jane and Maura are best friends, with a quirky and supportive relationship. As Tamaro explains, “That Jane and Maura are so different and yet so effective as a team makes them unusual.… There’s something rare about their relationship that I see in the world but not enough on television: two smart, strong, competent women who instinctively drop the protective shield when they’re with each other.”

Returning series

Warehouse 13  - Season 2 premiere (Syfy) July 6. Peter, Myka, Artie and Claudia is back to retrieve quirky fantastic artifacts for the  big warehouse. The first season ended in a pickle we should see resolved this season. The first episode is named Pisa.

Secret Service agents Pete Lattimer and Myka Bering are appointed to a secret storage facility housing unusual artifacts in South Dakota after saving the life of the President. The agents are responsible for tracking down missing objects from all areas of the country, as well as monitoring for supernatural activity that might hint at the presence of a new object that they must acquire

Eureka – Season 4 premiere (Syfy) July 9. I love Jack Carter and the quirky town of Eureka.

Small town. Big secret. A car accident leads U.S. Marshal Jack Carter into the top-secret Pacific Northwest town of Eureka. For decades, the United States government has relocated the world’s geniuses to Eureka, a town where innovation and chaos have lived hand in hand.

Episode one is Founder’s Day - The 60th anniversary of Eureka becomes life-changing in more ways than one when a marriage proposal is eclipsed by a mysterious transport to a military site and a new face in the crowd.

The Closer – Season 6 premiere (TNT) July 12. Brenda is one of my favorites cops on TV.

“They’ll bring you in. She’ll make you talk.” Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson (Kyra Sedgwick) is a police detective who transfers from Atlanta to Los Angeles to head up a special unit of the LAPD that handles sensitive, high-profile murder cases. Despite a tendency to step on people’s toes, Johnson manages to convert even her strongest adversaries with her unique ability to get to the truth

First episode: The Big Bang – The investigation into the murder a man who loved to take pictures of celebrities from the privacy of his own balcony, Brenda & the squad think their maybe a connection close to the woman who was having an affair with him. There is one problem Brenda might not have anticipated a missing murder weapon and moving into a new office.

White Collar – Season 2 premiere (USA) July 13. Another delightful con man is back.

It is about a convicted white collar criminal who winds up working for the FBI man who caught him. To stay out of prison, convicted bond forger Neal Caffrey offers to help the FBI capture other white collar criminals using his expertise as an art and securities thief, counterfeiter and racketeer.

First episode is Withdrawal – Neal helps the FBI foil a chain of high end bank robberies.

Psych – Season 5 premiere (USA) July 14.

Fake Psychic. Real Detectives. Shawn Spencer has developed a keen eye for detail after being instructed by his police officer father to note even the most minute details of his surroundings. After conning the police into believing that he’s a psychic, Shawn opens a detective agency with best friend Burton Guster

First episode is Romeo and Juliet and Juliet – When the daughter of a Chinese Triad family disappears, Shawn and Gus take on the case.

New on TV in June 2010

TV Series View Comments
May 312010

Summer is usually rerun country but this year we have some new exciting genre shows to look forward to and some returning with new seasons (for an overview see the New SF Season). New on TV this Week will be published later today.

The Gates (ABC, June 20) is the new show I am looking forward to most in June. It is some happy summer entertainment with a bit of a bite in it. It is about a cop and his family that moves into a gated community for a change of pace. But everything is not what it seems (more about it below).

The Scoundrels (ABC, June 20) also looks like an entertaining new non genre show. Persons Unknown (NBC) June 7, Memphis Beat (TNT, June 22), Rookie Blue (ABC, June 22) also looks interesting.

Season Finales

Stargate Universe (Syfy, June 11) is a must see, the Destiny gets invaded in the two part finale that starts the week before.

Saving Grace (TNT, June 21) 2 hour series finale is something else I am looking forward to.

Past Life (Fox, June 18) series finale might be worth a look. The show so far hasn’t shown much promise.

Justified (FX, June 8 ) has been a great newcomer and my favorite nonSF show this season.

Glee (Fox, June8 ) was great the first year but I have not felt as watching so much this year.

Treme (HBO) June 20 season 1 finale is another newcomer i have enjoyed. Great music and very rustic.

Gravity (Starz) June 25 season 1 finale is another amusing newcomer.

Returning Shows

True Blood (HBO) my favorite vampire show returns on Sunday June 13 with season 3. This season starts off in the aftermath of Bill’s disappearance.

Happy Town (ABC) returns from hiatus June 2. Will they be able to sort it out before the series ends?

Futurama (Comedy central) June 24 season 6

Of my nonSF favorites Burn Notice (USA) and Royal Pain (USA) returns Thursday June 3, Flashpoint June 4, Lie to Me (Fox) returns June 7, Leverage (TNT) June 20, Hawthorn (TNT) June 20.

The past month of May

The networks have spoken read about the New SF Season and the new Pilot Watch.

This was a month of some great season finales in Supernatural the Impala took the lead and the Devil and Arch Angle Michael both got vanquished to hell. We also got a Spoilery Sneak Peak on the Synopsis for  Season 6. Fringe’s finale [my review] was also great Olivia got switched out! You know I love Chuck and they blew up Buy More and Chuck found out his father’s secret [my review].

On The Big Bang Theory Sheldon got a date! I can’t wait for the next season to see how it all plays out.

I love Castle but the season finale left a little bit to wish for, at least they didn’t do a cliffhanger, I hate when you have to wait six months to see what happens.

The Gates – New Series

Nick (Frank Grillo), his son Charlie (Travis Caldwell), daughter Dana (McKaley Miller) and  Sarah (Marisol Nichols) open The Gates to their new home.

THE GATES – PREMIERES SUNDAY, JUNE 20 (9:00-10:00 p.m.) – Nestled inside a private mountain community are The Gates. The image of perpetual suburban bliss, each street is lined with perfectly manicured homes protected by the massive iron gates, but a dark and delicious secret is buried just beneath the surface of this picturesque neighborhood. (ABC/STEVE DIETL)

This post contains Spoilers! You have been warned.

New ABC drama The Gates fleshes out to what might appear as an Eureka for supernatural beings or Desperate House Witches. It’s about Nick Mohohan, a cop who gives up his job in a major city to be the chief of police in a planned gated community. But there is more to the residents than meets the eye. There is a werewolf football linebacker (hello Teen Wolf), a vampire housewife desperate not to fit in and even two magical tea shops at war with each other. I foresee a busy 13 episodes for our dear chief of police as he tries to keep order in this supernatural mess.

Marisol Nichols (24, In Justice, Blind Justice) plays Nick’s wife, Sarah who relocates to the community looking for a fresh start not expecting anything out of the ordinary. She is the ‘girl next door’ type, who grew up into a real beauty. Born and raised on the south side of Chicago. She is a survivor who’s been through a lot. Chief of Police Nick Monohan is played by Frank Grillo (Blind Justice, Prison Break). He grew up in the same area as his wife and is driven by a fierce commitment to justice. Is it only I that see the resemblance to sheriff Carter in Eureka? I love that show and it might be wishful thinking seeing this as some kind of supernatural Eureka?

I also imagine his family and kids having trouble fitting in at first. Travis Caldwell (Lately from Parenthood) play their 15 year old son Charlie, who is very cute in an offbeat way. Usually the smartest kid in the room, but not from a neighborhood where that’s a good thing. He has yet to find his place in the world which is true for most teenagers.

He quickly falls for a local girl Andie Bates played by Skyler Samuels (most famous for playing the snob on shows such as That So Raven, Wizards of Waverly Place and Drake and Josh). I wonder what kind of supernatural she is? The casting says she Mixed race, exotic, 15. Seems human…at first. Even more intelligent than she is beautiful. Quick witted and unafraid of confrontation. Guys want her, girls want to be her. Has a dark secret… A normal American teenager landing in a supernatural community can have all kinds of wonderful and entertaining plot possibilities.

Andie’s boyfriend Brett Crezski is a star linebacker for the football team who also happens to be a werewolf played by Colton Haynes. He is not a dumb jock, though. He is genuinely smart. Usually highly successful in his love life too. Struggles with his anger occasionally, which has serious implications since he’s a werewolf. I am pretty sure there is a jocks versus Charlie senario coming up (see picture). Justin Miles is on board as Brett’s best-friend Marcus Jordan, a surfer dude who likewise is a werewolf.

We also have some interesting drama with the sexy beautiful proprietors of the towns two competing exotic-slash-magical tea shops. Peg Mueller is played by Victoria Platt (she is known for Guiding Light, but she also played a uncredited brothel madam in the soon to be premiered supernatural western Jonah Hex) is the owner of the original shop but now her less-than-scrupulous pupil Devon played by Chandra West (She recently played Maggie Vega on my favorite non SciFi show Castle) sets up her own shop across the street. Devon is a witch and much more dangerous than she looks. A “Queen Bee” type. She will do anything and everything to gain power over those around her. She knows everyone in The Gates and as many of their secrets as she can acquire. She lures you in with her charm and empathetic ear. I think we have a villain here!

Other members of the cast include:

Luke Mably (The Prince and Me) as Dylan Radcliff the mysterious owner of a bio-tech company. Am I wrong if I sense a villain here? Did I mention he’s a vampire? He is extremely handsome and put together, late 30s. Even keeled with an exterior that’s hard to read even if you know him well. A brilliant and strategic mind. Beneath his cool front is a passionate and deeply emotional man. Would do anything to protect the life he’s built for his family at The Gates. Has a real soft spot for Claire even though her addictive personality continues to put their family at risk. Maybe not a villain then but a keeper of secrets. My photo of Luke is a bit old but I haven’t found any better new ones, only ones where he has beautiful girls draped on him.

His wife Claire is played by Rhona Mitra (SGU, Nip/Tuck, Boston Legal, The Practice) a vampire housewife not as keen on assimilating as her husband. I love her acting since The Practice. She is so hot. Here she will play stunning in a tasteful, suburban way which should be easy for her. She is deeply devoted to her husband and adopted daughter. The kind of woman who cleans the house, drives her daughter to school and makes cookies for the bake sale…all before Noon. Behind the perfect exterior though, she’s falling apart inside. Unhappy constantly subverting her Vampiric impulses, Claire struggles to stay “on the wagon”. Her addiction to hunting humans is a perpetual source of tension between her and her husband, Dylan.

Janina Gavankar (The L Word) plays Leigh Turner, a “sexy and cool” cop that works for Nick. According to a recent interview on desihits.com her character also have a dark secret, a good one. Maybe it has something to do with the immigrant feeling she channels in her role?

The pilot will air June 20 this summer will be directed by Terry McDonough (“Breaking Bad”). Grant Scharbo and Richard Hatem (@RichardHatem) co-wrote the pilot and are executive producing alongside Gina Matthews. Filming has begun in Louisiana. Robert Hewitt Wolfe (Andomeda, The 4400, The Dresden) is also on twitter @writergeekrhw.

Latest news I heard was that the actors had strict safety procedures to follow since they where using real wolves at the shoot and Colton Haynes had an outdoor nude scene they shoot in an ordinary neighborhood with a girl hanging out of a window to watch.

You can follow the cast on twitter #thegates or the cast members that tweet @janinaz, @ColtonLHaynes, @Travis_Caldwell and@OfficialSkyler (page not there any more). Now Marisol Nichols have also joined twitter  @marisolnichols. Justin Miles joins the tweetverse with @justinbmiles. @andipowell joined May 3.

Time to move inside the Gates …

I must say I really look forward to this show, way to go ABC.

New on TV in May 2010

TV Series View Comments
Apr 302010

May is a month of season finales and renewal and pilot-to-series announcements. Not much new at least not scripted and science fiction. The only new non-reality series I found was this drama-comedy The Good Guy from FOX. It’s a a new action comedy about what happens when an old-school cop and a modern-day detective expose the big picture of small crime. It looks promising (more of it at the end of the post).

Returning tv series. Ashes to Ashes season two premieres May 11, but thats not a show I am following. Past Life is expected to return with the remaining episodes after it’s first run was prematurely canceled, expect it to suck.

Legend of the Seeker has its Series Finale Saturday May 22 since it’s been canceled (Read the post). I have really enjoyed the series even if it wasn’t perfect all the time. Richard, Kahlan and Zed, you will be missed.

It’s time for Season Finales now as spring hits nature here on the northern hemisphere. Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, Smallville, Chuck, Castle, V, Ghost Whisperer, Medium, Lost, The Big Bang Theory and FlashForward all spring their’s season finales in May. Most of them are expected to return but I doubt that FlashForward will and some other shows are still on the bubble Chuck and V for example.

Of the finales I am especially looking forward to the Apocalypse on Supernatural.

A few non SF shows I follow is also ending their season NCIS, House, Cougar Town, Bones, Gossip Girl, The Good Wife, Two and a Half Men and The Mentalist. Hmm, wonder if Two and a Half Men will be back, Charlie Sheen might want to get out according to the papers?

Recaps of April: Many of my favorite series returned after hiatus. Fringe came back with the truth about Peter arc, it’s better than ever. SGU picked up the pace and returned with aliens and a whole new positive beat, worth watching. Chuck and Sarah are finally together, and yes they are still spies (so are Morgan and Casey – on a mission together). Chuck has been fantastic this season. Two new shows you should try are Romantically Challenged, a comedy of four friends staring the talented and funny Alyssa Milano and Gravity, a comedy show about suicide and two star crossed and quirky people that meet through a suicide support group. Treme on sundays is also new and worth a non SF watch, great music. Happy Town is not a comedy, I am watching the premiere as I write this. It was okay, I will watch a few more episodes before I write a review. I also watched the first two episodes of Miami Medical but wasn’t impressed. Did I miss anything good?

The God Guy – A New Comedy on FOX

Premieres May 19, looks promising enough for me to give it a try.

From Matt Nix (“Burn Notice”), comes THE GOOD GUYS, a new action comedy about what happens when an old-school cop and a modern-day detective expose the big picture of small crime.

Once upon the 1970s, DAN STARK (Bradley Whitford) and his partner, Frank Savage, were big-shot Dallas detectives. So big, in fact, that they were lauded as American heroes after saving the Governor’s son. Thirty years later, Dan Stark is a washed-up detective who spends most of his time drunk or re-hashing his glory days. A stranger to modern police work who would much rather trust his old-school police instincts, Dan has the reputation as being a bit of a wild card. Able to skate by on the heroic deeds of his yesteryear, he is still a semi-active presence on the force, and with the help of his liquor of choice, occasionally comes through to solve a petty crime.

Dan’s new partner, JACK BAILEY (Colin Hanks), is an ambitious, by-the-book and overall good detective, but is sometimes a bit too snarky for his own good. His habit of undermining himself has earned him a dead-end position in the department, and he is stuck solving annoying petty theft cases that nobody else wants. Worse, he’s been given the thankless task of babysitting Dan, the drunk pariah who can never keep partners for long. Jack may not see it, but he has little chance of getting out of his situation; his knack for making enemies at the station has assured he is not going anywhere.

His only ally is ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY LIZ TRAYNOR (Jenny Wade), a quick witted former girlfriend whom Jack hasn’t quite gotten over and the one person he turns to for help with his current professional predicament. Until Jack finds his way out of this situation, he is stuck awaiting the day when he can turn everything around, get back to solving actual cases and return to being a real detective.

On one fairly typical day, as Jack and Dan are pursuing a Code 58, the Dallas police code for routine investigations, which puts them hot on the case of a stolen humidifier, they inadvertently become engaged in a shootout over a stolen golf bag belonging to a notorious drug smuggler. This starts Jack and Dan on a wild chase to retrieve the bag, recover the contents inside and go after the drug smuggler – all while dodging his hired assassin!

The excitement of the case reminds Dan of the way he and Frank busted punks back in the good old days, and he convinces Jack to go along for the ride. Needless to say, many departmental rules are again broken in the reckless pursuit, showing their boss, LIEUTENANT ANA RUIZ (Diana Maria Riva), that Jack and Dan will be spending many more days in the Property Crimes Division, assigned to investigate seemingly minor crimes in order to keep them out of major trouble.

It”s going to be a fantastic month with all these season finales!
