SNEAK PEEK: BIG LOVE 4TH SEASON TRAILER

Clocking in at only about a minute, this trailer really packs in several plots and lots of intense drama.

The fourth season of "Big Love" kicks off on Sunday, Jan. 10.

"Big Love" nabbed three Golden Globes nominations for the past year, including one for best drama, best actor in a drama (Bill Paxton) and best supporting actress (Chloe Sevigny).

MAGNUM PI: WHERE ARE THEY NOW

 
Released by Kim Potts/TV Squad

It's been 30 years since Tom Selleck introduced us to his Hawaii-dwellin', Tigers cap-wearin', Ferrari-borrowin', generally-mooching private investigator Thomas Magnum.

'Magnum P.I.' premiered Dec. 11, 1980 and ran for eight seasons on CBS -- and was a top-20 rated show for the first five. It followed formal Naval intelligence officer-turned-P.I. Magnum as he lived on the palatial estate of wealthy writer Robin Masters; the estate was operated by fussy Jonathan Higgins, who may or may not have been the same person.

Magnum's BFFs Rick and T.C. helped him out on his cases, and, though the action mostly revolved around the four main characters, a slew of guest stars passed through the show, including Frank Sinatra, Carol Burnett, Sharon Stone, Ian McShane, Ted Danson, Dana Delany, Dennis Haysbert, Tyne Daly, Angela Lansbury and TV uber-producer Stephen J. Cannell.

And though playing the P.I. in 'Magnum' cost Selleck the lead in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' -- his 'Magnum' shooting scheduled would have conflicted with the 'Raiders' production, though a writers' strike later made the issue moot, after Harrison Ford had already landed the part -- movieland's loss was a big gain for TV viewers.

In honor of the show's 30th anniversary, we're checking in with what the 'Magnum' gang has been up to since the show's May 1988 series finale.

Tom Selleck:
Thomas Magnum
He won an Emmy and a Golden Globe, and made Hawaiian shirts, short shorts for men and, of course, the mustache, sexy. Magnum was a seemingly irreverent beach bum who had actually been a Navy intelligence officer and athlete, and who went out of his way for his friends and clients. At the end of the series, Magnum found out he had a daughter and he resumed his Naval career to give her a stable life. Post-'Magnum,' Selleck focused on his big-screen career, starring in a sequel to his hit 'Three Men and a Baby,' 'In & Out' and, most recently, 'Killers.' He also operates a working avocado ranch in California, and has never really left TV land, with a memorable stint as Courteney Cox's boyfriend Richard on 'Friends,' taking over for James Caan on 'Las Vegas,' starring in and producing the popular 'Jesse Stone' movie franchise for CBS and, this year, starring as NYPD commissioner Frank Reagan in CBS' family cop drama 'Blue Bloods.' Selleck has also confirmed that he and co-stars Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg are awaiting the script to begin another 'Three Men and a Baby' sequel, and fans continue to hope that the star will have some part in the long-in-development 'Magnum, P.I.' big-screen movie that, throughout the last decade, has been rumored to be headed to theaters with everyone from George Clooney to Jason Lee as the movie Magnum.

John Hillerman:
Jonathan Higgins
Higgins, a WWII veteran and a member of Scottish nobility, was tougher than his fussy image might have made him appear, as he retired, post-military career, to the Hawaiian estate of author Robin Masters, where he became the majordomo of "Robin's Nest." He spent much of his time exasperated by Magnum and his tendencies to come and go, say and do, as he pleased. The two liked and respected each other, though, despite the fact that Magnum often prompted Higgins' trademark "Oh. My. God, Magnum!" response, as well as the ire of Higgins' Dobermans, Zeus and Apollo, who he referred to as "The Lads." In the series finale, Higgins confirmed Magnum's suspicion that Higgins was Robin Masters, but then later told him he had lied, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger. As for Hillerman, who was best known as Ann Romano's boss Mr. Connors (who referred to her as "M.S. Romano") on 'One Day at a Time,' his post-'Magnum' career has consisted of a stint as Jason Bateman's grandpa Lloyd on 'The Hogan Family,' and a pair of guest appearances on 'Murder, She Wrote.' The 77-year-old Hillerman, who, like Selleck, won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe for 'Magnum,' is now retired and living in his native Texas.

Roger E. Mosley:
Theodore "T.C." Calvin
Former Naval aviator and officer T.C. (who was often seen sporting his Da Nang cap) was one of Magnum's closest pals (the two had been prisoners of war together during the Vietnam War), and, as the proprietor of a tourist chopper business called Island Hoppers, one of Magnum's go-to guys when he needed to get somewhere that the Ferrari wouldn't take him -- or when he needed muscle back-up. In the series finale, as Magnum goes off to raise his daughter, T.C. also reunites with his wife and children. Mosley, meanwhile, has remained active in TV land since 'Magnum,' with recurring roles on 'Hangin' with Mr. Cooper' and the Showtime drama 'Rude Awakening,' and a reunion with Selleck and Larry Manetti on an episode of 'Las Vegas' in 2007. Mosley also had a memorable role as the doomed partner of psycho cop Ray Liotta in the big-screen thriller 'Unlawful Entry,' and, currently, he plays the grandfather of Donald Faison's character -- Donald Faison -- in NBC's Web comedy 'FCU: Fact Checkers Unit.'

Larry Manetti:
Rick Wright
Rick was Magnum's other best friend, also a fellow Vietnam War vet (he was T.C.'s door gunner during the war); in fact, the three each sport a Team Ring, a black ring with a Croix de Lorraine -- a symbol of wartime bonding -- on it. A well-connected playboy with a fondness for fancy clothes, Rick ran the exclusive King Kamehameha Club, which was owned by Robin Masters, and also did many a favor for his P.I. buddy. In the series finale, Rick was engaged to marry former hooker Cleo, though, in another cliffhanger, we never actually see him say the words "I do." After 'Magnum,' Manetti guest starred on TV shows like 'Quantum Leap,' had recurring roles on 'Walker, Texas Ranger,' 'Renegade' and 'JAG,' and reunited with Selleck and Mosley at the 2009 TV Land Awards, where the trio was given the Hero Award for their 'Magnum' days. Manetti also wrote the fun book 'Aloha Magnum,' about his experiences on the show and meeting fellow celebs, including 'Magnum' guest Frank Sinatra, with whom he became friends. Autographed copies of the book are for sale at Manetti's website, which also includes his personal photos from the 'Magnum' set.

Jeff MacKay:
Lt. Mac MacReynolds
The only TV character who possibly loved doughnuts more than Homer Simpson, Mac was Magnum's Navy intelligence pal who was killed off in a car bomb -- that was meant for Magnum -- and returned later as a ghost and as a completely different character, con man Jim Bonig. MacKay, a cousin of Robert Redford who had already co-starred with Larry Manetti in the 1970s series 'Black Sheep Squadron,' also starred in the cult classic, one-season adventure series 'Tales of the Gold Monkey' and voiced Fireflight in the 'Transformers' cartoon during his stint on 'Magnum.' After the show wrapped, he reunited with John Hillerman in the short-lived drama 'Berlin Break,' and played Patrick Labyorteaux's father on 'JAG.' MacKay died of liver failure in 2008.

Kwan Hi Lim:
Lt. Yoshi Tanaka
Magnum often encountered funny Honolulu homicide detective Tanaka while working on cases, and the two became friends, bonding over their mutual love of the Detroit Tigers. In a Season 8 shocker, Tanaka was killed off during an undercover drug investigation. Lim, who didn't begin his acting career until he was in his forties, was also an attorney who continued to practice law while starring on shows like 'Hawaii Five-O' and 'Magnum.' After 'Magnum,' he made an appearance in the Vietnam War series 'Tour of Duty' and continued his legal career, working as a family court judge in Hawaii. Lim died in Hawaii in 2008.

Gillian Dobb:
Agatha Chumley
An English socialite with a big crush on Higgins, Agatha's feelings, sadly, were not reciprocated. They were good friends, however, especially since she provided him with a connection to the high culture he felt he lacked in the presence of Magnum and his friends. Agatha, to Higgins' annoyance, was actually fond of Magnum. As for Dobb, she was a local actress who, according to 'Magnum, P.I.' set designer Rick Romer's blog, was very much like her character: the charming, fan-favorite Agatha. 'Magnum' was her only major acting job, and she died, at age 71, in 2001.

Orson Welles:
Robin Masters
Yes, that Orson Welles. Welles was the voice -- his face was never shown -- of wealthy author Robin Masters, who wrote bestselling novels with titles like 'The Seamy Side of Dawn,' 'Blood of the August Kitten' and 'Die and Die Again.' After Welles died of a heart attack in 1985 (just hours after appearing on 'The Merv Griffin Show'), Magnum began to question whether or not Robin Masters actually existed, or if Higgins was actually Masters.

"SPARTACUS" RENEWED FOR SECOND SEASON

Released by Rick Porter/From Inside the Box

Starz has given a second-season pickup to its series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" -- a month before the show begins its first season.

The pickup allows the series, which is produced by Sam Raimi and is based on the Roman gladiator who led a slave revolt, to go back into production early next year -- and presumably deliver new episodes to Starz sooner than it otherwise would have. It stars Andy Whitfield as the title character and also features John Hannah and Lucy Lawless.

Season two is likely to be titled "Spartacus: Vengeance," Starz says. Here's the cable channel's latest blood-soaked trailer for the first season, which premieres Jan. 22.

SNEAK PEEK: THE BIGGEST LOSER FAMILIES

Check out this brand new promo for the upcoming season of "The Biggest Losers Families", which premieres Tuesday, January 5th.

"FLASHFORWARD" DVD COMING IN FEBRUARY

Released by Bob Sassone/TV Squad

Here's an interesting tactic: releasing a DVD set for a show smack dab* in the middle of the first season.

Disney/ABC has announced that they will release FlashForward: Volume 1 on February 26. That's "Volume 1" and not "Season 1," because the season isn't over yet. This release will come a week before the show returns to the network on March 4 to finish out the first season (with the big event that affects the entire world happening on April 10).

Looks like they're trying to get the attention of viewers before the show returns and maybe get people to buy the DVD set so they can get caught up on what has happened so far (and be reminded of what has happened so far - four months is a long time to wait when you have a first season show that isn't a ratings hit). Glee is doing this too, but I can see people buying that.

Couldn't they just have a marathon of the episodes a few days before it comes back? I'm really curious to see how many people will jump at the chance of buying this.

* People don't use the phrase "smack dab" enough.

MEET THE NEW CAST OF "THE BIGGEST LOSER"

Danny Cahill became the latest person to win The Biggest Loser, when he dropped 239 lbs. in 7 months. NBC has now introduced the latest cast to participate is the couples edition of the series.

This new season, set to premier on January 5, is the heaviest cast ever with one of the contestants weighing an astonishing 526 lbs. The 526 lbs man is Michael Ventrella, a 30-year-old DJ from Chicago, who will be participating with his mother, Maria Ventrella, a 51-year-old corporate travel agent.

“I would do anything for Michael,” mom Maria, weighing in at 281 lbs., told PEOPLE. “At first I didn’t think I could do it because I have too many responsibilities at home. I have a husband who is disabled, my mom in a wheelchair, a full-time job, home cleaning — it’s a lot. But then he needed it so bad and so I am here, and I need it for myself, too!”

NBC is already starting to feel the heat as many are criticizing them for having such an obese man as a cast member. Critics believe the extent of activity the cast has to go through might be dangerous for some of the more obese cast members. “I’m waiting for the first person to have a heart attack,” said Dr. Charles Burant, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan telling the NY Times in a recent article. “I have had some patients who want to do the same thing, and I counsel them against it,” Dr. Burant said. “I think the show is so exploitative. They are taking poor people who have severe weight problems whose real focus is trying to win the quarter-million dollars.”

The show is set to return January 5th on NBC as the contestants will be competing for the grand prize of $250,000 or $100,000 at-home prize. Host Alison Sweeney and trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels are all set to return to The Biggest Loser: Couples.

"tHE GOODE FAMILY" TO AIR ON COMEDY CENTRAL

 
Released by Comedy Central

"The Goode Family," the satirical animated series from Mike Judge, John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky, will air on COMEDY CENTRAL beginning January 4, 2010 in a secondary run. "The Goode Family," which premiered on ABC in May 2009, is produced by Media Rights Capital, Ternion Pictures and 3 Arts Entertainment.

 

The complete first season of "The Goode Family" will air on COMEDY CENTRAL on Monday nights at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, giving vegans, lesbians, right-wing conservatives, Prius owners, Texas-rednecks and liberals-who-canlaugh-at-themselves a second chance to fall in love with the Goodes.

"Mike, John and Dave certainly turn the tables on liberals with this show. That's not done very often on television, but the humor comes from skewering extremism and taking things too far, either to the left or the right," said Modi Wiczyk, Co-CEO of MRC. "We know COMEDY CENTRAL viewers will embrace 'The Goode Family.'"

 

Meet Gerald and Helen Goode, a couple who live by the motto WWAGD (What Would Al Gore Do?). Gerald, a college administrator, and Helen, a community activist, are determined to obliterate their carbon footprint on the planet: they're zealous vegans, drive a hybrid and recycle everything possible. Even the family dog, Che, is vegan. In the words of Helen, all the Goodes want to do is buy organic apples and call minorities by their right names. But despite their best efforts, something always goes haywire with their politically correct plans.

"The Goode Family" is voiced by Mike Judge as Gerald, Nancy Carell as Helen, Dave Herman as Ubuntu, Linda Cardellini as Bliss and Brian Doyle Murray as Charlie.

When Vampire Diaries returns, Elena (Nina Dobrev) will have a lot of questions. Mainly, why on Earth does she look like Stefan's dead lover? Based on the sneak peek below, it looks like she'll turn to the other Salvatore brother for "comfort" — and the two of them becoming friends can only mean bad things are ahead.

Also, Bonnie (Katerina Graham) is coming closer the uncovering the past, and goes to the place where all the murder began in Mystic Falls. Get a sneak peek at the return of Vampire Diaries below, and don't forget to tune in all this week for the Dairies marathon on the CW.

TNT TO AIR "SUPERNATURAL" REPEATS STARTING MONDAY, JANUARY 4

Released by Miss TV Girl

TNT has required the off-network rights to one of my favorite shows The CW's "Supernatural".  This is a great show that I am highly recommending to people who have not had to pleasure to watch. 

"Supernatural" stars Jared Padalecki(Sam Winchester) and Jensen Ackles(Dean Winchester), as brothers who hunt demons and other figures of the paranormal.  The show premiered in 2005, and I promise you  have never missed an episode.

This is a show that gets better every year and that is a saying a lot, when it is already great.  There are rumors that this could be the  last season.  I believe the creator(Eric Kripke) has stated publicly that his plans were to always stop the show after 5 years.  I sure hope he changes his mind.

DEXTER: SEASON FINALE REVIEW (SPOILERS INCLUDED)

Released by Miss TV Girl

Let me first start out by saying the season finale of Dexter did not disappoint.  I swear my heart was racing from the moment the opening credits started.  This episode was so hard to watch and  I am still a bit horrified by what I saw in the last 5 minutes.  To say the least.

As any fan of Dexter knows someone always dies in the season finale, but with those deaths, there is no residual effect, it is usually a relief for the audience, because Dexter has once again gotten the bad guy.

If you haven't yet seen tonight's season finale episode, do not read another word.

The finale picked up exactly where last week left off with the faceoff between Dexter and Arthur.  I don't think as a viewer we have ever seen an emotionally out of control Dexter before and thank God, because there would be no way to explain how he could be so successful at not getting caught. If this episode showed us anything, it is how important it is for Dexter to follow the code.

After the calm, but intimidating confrontation between Dexter and Arthur at the precinct, we knew that Arthur would pay with his life.  I think Harry said it best when he asked Dexter "Do you have a plan?

Well, by now we all know now that he didn't and in the world of Dexter, that is a big mistake.
                 





The Trinity Killer killed Rita and left Harrison sitting in her blood. I never saw this one coming. If just for the fact that Rita and the kids are what helps Dexter feel somewhat normal and whole.  What will happen to Dexter and his family now that she has been murdered? How will Dexter deal with finding his son sitting in his mother's blood in the same way that Harry found Dexter?

When Jennifer Carpenter spoke with TV Guide last week and said that "you will need a therapist after the season finale", boy was she right.

Believe it or not Rita's death wasn't the only big reveal of the night.  Deb found out that the Ice Truck Killer" and Dexter were brothers. Although it seems like this piece of shocking news didn't change her feelings towards Dexter, I do believe next season Deb will start to pay a little bit more attention to Dexter's peculiar behaviour.

 I think Dexter has been picked up for two more season, but I feel this season finale episode was also the start of Deb finally learning that Dexter is a serial killer.  I  don't know about you , but I can not wait for next season.

There are so many questions about how this season ender will affect Dexter.

1.Will  Batista remember he saw Dexter talking with Arthur at the precinct?
2.Will Dexter continue to follow the code?
3.Will Deb become obscessed with finding out why Trinity targeted Dexter?
4. Will Dexter raise all three kids?
5. Will Arthur's family return and discover that Kyle Butler is really Dexter Morgan?
6. Will Quinn back off or will Rita's murder make him more curious about Dexter?

I will stop right now because these types questions are going to drive me insane until September.

My hat off to the writers for giving the fans one of the all time great season enders.
