Video: The Kings of Summer Making-Of Featurette

CBS Film's has just released a making-of featurette for their hot Sundance pick-up The Kings of Summer.  Easily one of my favorite films of the festival, The Kings of Summer is a unique and comical coming-of-age story that follows three high school friends who decide to spend the summer building an elaborate house in the woods and living off the land.  The catch?  No one else knows about it.

Does Unforgettable Have Second Life on Cable?

Many industry insiders were surprised when CBS cancelled their solid-preforming freshman cop-drama series 'Unforgettable' last week.  The decision came down to the wire, but eventually the show was on the outside looking in on the industry's most watched network.

Joe Manganiello Headed to CBS

After a stellar premiere episode that welcomed over 27 million viewers to the Ashton Kutcher era, CBS has tapped another star to beef up the ratings:  Joe Manganiello.

2 Broke Girls Episode Recap: Pilot - Cupcakes & Ketchup

If you are like me, you already have your favorite new shows of the season picked out before they even premiere. And if you are like me the new CBS comedy '2 Broke Girls' was already considered one of my ultimate favorites, even before its premiere last night.

Fall TV Preview

There are quite a few new shows premiering this fall; some of the shows are good and some are just awful. Everyone has a hectic schedule, so finding time to sit down and watch a show you recorded, much less when it comes out is rare. So here is my guide to help you decide what is worth your time this fall and what isn't.

TV Networks Bet Big With Fall Programming

The biggest television networks in the country are set to launch more new shows in one week than they have in years.  This proves an expensive bet for each of them as the future of broadcast television remains clouded as the internet is quickly gaining as a main source for entertainment. Over the next seven nights some 58 shows will premiere on the four big television networks (ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox) with 17 of them debuting for the first time.  The target, claim Friday nights and build off their successes of last season.

With a new device from Apple Inc. set to pipe more content than ever before into homes across the country, they are pulling out all the stops and working hard to make sure people tune in.

But last year studios saw their first increase in years in terms of overall viewership during the prime-time hours.  It was a huge win for everyone as they looked to be regaining strength.  But with so many switch-ups from last season, the jury is still out as to whether they can expand on their previous success.

For years networks have worked hard to create as many unscripted 'reality' shows as possible.  That changes this year as most new shows are scripted dramas and comedies.  'Mike & Molly' from the creators of 'Two and a Half Men' shows promise, as does 'The Event', 'Detroit 1-8-7' and 'Law & Order: Los Angeles'.  But if there is anything I have learned over my years anticipating new shows, nothing is a hit unless it has survived winter hiatus.

As a documentary, My Kid Could Paint That showcases the talent and work of 4 year old Marla Olmstead, who’s painting have been showcased in numerous art galleries and brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars. However, amid Marla’s success, CBS’ 60 Minutes did a full hour expose strongly suggesting that Marla’s paintings were that of her father, an amateur painter himself. As quickly as the public built Marla up, they tore her down. It took no time for the Olmsteads to be ransacked with hate mail, as the town turned a cold shoulder causing Marla’s art dealer to consider moving.
