NCIS Spoilers: A Love Interest For Gibbs?

20 hours ago | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

There's no new episode this week, but we do have a Christmas to look forward to on NCIS come December 15. Might Leroy Jethro Gibbs hang up his mistletoe that night?

It looks like it - at least soon, if not that week. Executive producer Shane Brennan tells TV Guide that Mark Harmon’s Gibbs is going to have someone to kiss this season!

We haven't seen Gibbs get romantic with a woman since Col. Hollis Mann in Season Four. That drought is about to end, as Brennan says “there is a kiss in Gibbs’ future."

This new female will stick around for a while, too. But Gibbs had better watch his back, because Brennan warns her kiss may be “romantic or a Judas kiss.” Thoughts?

Looks like NCIS fans will get a glimpse of Gibbs' love life in early 2010.

“It’s snowing for our nostalgic Christmas episode on NCIS, with Gibbs, »

Kelly Hu to Guest Star on The Vampire Diaries

30 November 2009 6:22 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

The Vampire Diaries doesn't return with new episodes until January 14.

But at least The CW hit is giving fans a lot of casting news to discuss in the meantime.

Last week, it was announced that Dexter star James Remar would appear on the show in the key role of Stefan and Damon's father, Giuseppe Salvatore.

Now, we can confirm - via the actress' own Twitter account - that Kelly Hu been cast in the possibly recurring role of Pearl.

Earlier this month, the network sent out a casting notice that described Pearl as:

Early 30's, Chinese, attractive. Seen in flashbacks, she is an apothecary for the town of Mystic Falls. Going door to door on sales visits she stops at the Salvatorre residence and meets Katherine. Unaware of what Katherine is, she tries to sell her vervain and quickly finds herself in danger.

Hu has guest-starred on a number of shows, »

Donny Osmond Takes Home Disco Ball

25 November 2009 4:01 PM, PST | Studio Briefing - TV News | See recent Studio Briefing - TV News news »

Donny Osmond, who had the advantage of spending a lifetime as a performer and commanding an enormous fan base, danced off with the top award, a silver disco ball, on the season finale of ABC's Dancing With the Stars Tuesday night. He beat out singer Mya and Osbourne family member Kelly. The show had been expected to draw the biggest ratings of any nonsports show of the season, but while its ratings were impressive, they were not overwhelming. The two-hour finale averaged 19.19 million viewers, but an hour earlier on CBS, the newly empowered NCIS beat that figure with 20.26 million, and its spin-off, NCIS: Los Aangeles gave Dancing a run for its money by attracting 17.18 million viewers.

Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths Trailer

25 November 2009 12:48 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Warner Home Entertainment’s newest animated effort featuring DC Comics Heroes and villains: Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, arrives on DVD February 23rd, 2010.  The film features villains from the classic DC Crime Syndicate.  Check out an image and the trailer after the jump.

Created back when goatees marked your obvious ill intent, the Csa is made up of evil, alternate reality versions of Earth’s own heroes, who didn’t wear masks!  Though the Csa met it’s end in the original Crisis on Infinite Earths storyline, they none-the-less returned years later in a classic story arc by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely.

Like Green Lantern: First Flight and Warner’s other recent DC Comics Home Entertainment entries, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths, will carry a rating of PG-13, reminding us that Warner doesn’t just consider these super hero adventures as “strictly for kids”.  Though February seems far away, »

'NCIS' first look: Abby's awesome 'LA' crossover!

23 November 2009 7:46 AM, PST | EW - Ausiello Files | See recent EW.com - The Ausiello Files news »

Crossover stunts have become as ubiquitous as season-ending character deaths. And let's face it, more times than not they're probably conceived at a network marketing retreat instead of inside a writers room — which is probably why many of them come off feeling like blatant ratings-boosting promotional gimmicks. But I'm here to tell you that this week's NCIS/NCIS: LA mash-up is different, and I can give you at least two reasons why. First off, it revolves around the undeniably awesome Pauley Perrette. And second, because it results in the first face-to-face encounter between Abby and Linda Hunt's Hetty »

Looks like Thanksgiving plans are put on hold this week at NCIS.

The team investigates the horrific death of a Marine, and their efforts to crack the case lead them to government think-tank filled with child prodigies, where the special agents then have to protect a 12-year-old child who may be the next target of the killer.

Finally, Tony gets to hang out with someone his own age!

Here's CBS' preview of the episode ...

Welcome to Los Angeles, Abby

19 November 2009 7:57 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

Next week's new episode of NCIS: Los Angeles will feature a familiar face.

When Callen and Hanna come across a serial killer, NCIS forensics expert Abby Sciuto flies across the country to offer her expertise on the man she refers to as "The Phantom."

She's been following his killings (14 in two years) and wants to help bring the murderer to justice. Might she end up as his next victim, however?

We doubt it, but the following promo for "Random on Purpose" hints that things don't go so smoothly on the west coast for Abby:

Before she gets apprehended, though, Abby gets her drink on. Check out the following NCIS: Los Angeles episode stills:

NCIS Round Table: "Power Down"

18 November 2009 10:19 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

TV Fanatic's review of "Power Down" touched on just how good last night's NCIS was because of the blackout, whereas so many other shows would have fallen short.

Below, our staff members break down the latest episode of TV's #1 show in further detail in an NCIS Round Table discussion. Here's what our panel had to say ...

1. What was your favorite NCIS quote from the episode?

The Barnacle: Tough call! Either Abby's "joke" that she admitted was only funny if you have a PhD in chemistry, or Gibbs' nonchalant "Book 'em, Da-Nozzo" after Tony had been annoying everyone with outdated TV show reference all night.

Dr. Shepherd: I'm going to go with all the NCIS quotes Gibbs does not produce even when he's directly spoken to. This must have happened 5-6 times last night. Gibbs is a man who does not utter a word unless he deems it directly necessary for survival. »

Geffen Playhouse Presents Equivocation, 11/18

18 November 2009 1:30 AM, PST | BroadwayWorld.com | See recent BroadwayWorld.com news »

After playing some of theater's most famous roles, actor Joe Spano takes on the role of theater's most famous scribe: William Shakespeare. Spano, best known for his roles on television's NCIS and Hill Street Blues, portrays Shakespeare (fondly called ‘Shag' after playwright Bill Cain's favorite contemporary spelling of the Bard's name: ‘Shagspeare' or ‘Shagespeare') in the Los Angeles premiere of Equivocation. Spano is joined by two-time Tony Award nominee Harry Groener as Richard, the second in command of Shag's winsome acting troupe, as well as Patrick J. Adams, Brian Henderson and Connor Trinneer, who comprise the rest of Shag's theater company - Sharpe, Armin and Nate, respectively. That said, as Equivocation's tale unwinds onstage, the actors ultimately play about two dozen roles ranging from conspirators and priests to Lady Macbeth and King Lear. The cast also features Troian Bellisario as Judith, Shakespeare's omnipresent daughter. »

NCIS: Preview of Episode 7.8 "Power Down"

16 November 2009 1:14 PM, PST | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

There's a city-wide blackout on tonight's episode of NCIS, so when the team literally finds themselves in the dark, quite literally. They're investigating the death of a lieutenant and an attempted robbery, and somehow, this is connected to the power outage.

What does this mean? This means, all of Abby's (Pauley Perrette) high-tech gadgets are for naught, and everyone's trying to approach the case just like they do in the olden times - of course, reference to Gibbs' (Mark Harmon) age will be a running joke.

NCIS Producer Gil Grant Dicusses Gattaca TV Show

13 November 2009 8:36 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Sometimes, when you hear a movie is being turned into a TV show, you can’t help but cringe. It’s not always easy to make the transition from feature film to television show, especially when the movie has a loyal following. Some of the movies that have made the best transition into the TV world include M.A.S.H, Stargate, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Could Gattaca join that list?

Though often overlooked, Gattaca was one of the more interesting science fiction films to come out of the 1990s. Featuring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law, the movie explored a futuristic society where genetic engineering was the norm, creating a world where “Valids” (individuals who had been genetically enhanced before birth) live in a socially superior position to “Invalids” (average Joes like you and me).

TV Tidbits: Gattaca Series Will Be a Police Procedural, ABC Eying Charlies Angels and Goes Crazy with New Sitcom, New Caprica Poster

12 November 2009 11:12 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

Let's start with the most interesting TV news tonight: MTV got to sit down with Gil Grant (24, NCIS:La), writer of the upcoming Gattaca television series, and managed to get some fascinating info from him. If you were wondering how Andrew Niccol's film would be adapted to TV, I have two words for you: Police procedural. While it's far from a unique concept on television, the idea of making one of the cops an Invalid (a person born without the benefit of genetic diagnosis), and another a genetically superior Valid, does seem somewhat inspired. There's a reason police procedurals have taken off so much---they're simply perfectly suited to TV storytelling. It also works well for this particular project because being in a police station will give us an inside glimpse into Gattaca's society of genetic have and have-nots. Grant is also adding another concept not found in the film, »

Gattaca TV Show to Become a Generic Cop Show?

12 November 2009 9:32 AM, PST | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »

The idea of a “Gattaca” TV show sounds like a winner when I first heard it, but the idea of turning Andrew Niccol’s perfectly honed world into another generic TV cop show on TV? Aw, man, I don’t know, that sounds, well, generic to me. In any case, Gil Grant, who has been assigned to adapt the movie into a TV show for producer Denis Leary recently talked to MTV about his approach to the show. Grant confirms that Andrew Niccol has nothing to do with the show, will probably have no involvement whatsoever, and for better or worst, Grant plans to introduce a more procedural cop show vibe into “Gattaca”. Grant is no stranger to procedural shows, having worked on the incredibly dull but unfathomably popular “NCIS” shows, as well as the more enjoyable “24″. “I came up with a world which is populated with Valids and Invalids, »

12 November 2009 5:39 AM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

There's still no word on when Chuck will debut on NBC.

But more casting news continues to trickle in about this beloved series. The latest involves a guest star even tougher than Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Fans can look forward to an appearance by Robert Patrick midway through the third season. The actor is best known for playing the T-1000 in Terminator 2. He popped up, as Colonel Merton Bell, on an episode of NCIS this year.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Patrick will portray Col. Keller on Chuck. The character is a mysterious figure from Casey’s past.

We can't wait for this show to return. »
