NBC has given Revolution, Go On and The New Normal a giant vote of confidence, giving all three freshman shows full-season orders.

“We’re impressed with the imagination and creative direction of the entire team on Revolution, not to mention the immediately strong response we got from the audience,” said NBC entertainment president Jennifer Salke in a statement. “We’re also very proud of our new comedy block of Go On and The New Normal.”

Revolution‘s debut episode ranked as NBC’s best drama launch in adults 18-49 in five years (since the premiere of Bionic Woman in 2007), and it…

This is simply awesome! Though I must admit that there’s something a little bit off about the pacing of the cuts, things don’t seem to have the snap and pizzaz that the Buffy credits did, this is still really fun to watch and think about how a TV show of The Avengers would work with Whedon at the helm.

Actually, now that I think about it… YES PLEASE!

With Fringe being Fringe – that is, a sci-fi drama that has proven over and over again that everything is possible — showrunner J.H. Wyman has at his disposal, entering the final season, any number of super-cool storytelling devices in his toolbox.

Yet what he most wants to play with is the characters’ — and thus viewers’ — emotions, as the Fox series unspools its last13 episodes.

“I realized this is not a season for tricks and multiple universes, new introductions of things,” Wyman tells TVLine. “So I had to do some soul-searching and say, ‘What would I like? What would I want,…

Fringe‘s fifth and final season (sniff!) officially kicks off this Friday, taking the team and fans to an Observer-ruled 2036, a time when eggs come in stick form and being preserved in amber is all the rage!

We’ve got an exclusive first look at the group reunited in this season five promo shot. It’s time to fight for the future, y’all!

In the shot, our beloved cast stands defiantly together in front of a wall plastered with anti-Observer messages such as “End the Oppression.”  Included in the shot along with Anna Torv, Josh Jackson, John Noble and Jasika Nicole are Lance Reddick as…

The following contains spoilers from this Monday’s episode of NBC’s Revolution.

In just its second episode, NBC’s Revolution this Monday night answered a huge question that was on many a fan’s mind: Why would you hire the always awesome Elizabeth Mitchell to appear only in flashbacks?

Answer: You don’t, because Charlie’s mother, Rachel Matheson, is in fact alive and well. Or at least alive, based on a reveal that capped Week 2 of the adventure drama.

And yet with that not-entirely-surprising twist comes new questions, such as: Where and for how long has Rachel been held captive? What…

When Season 6 left off, Michael & Co. had trekked to Panama to track Tyler Grey, the sniper who’d been hired to kill Nate Westen — only to realize, too late, that they’d all been led by Tom Card into a trap. Amazingly, and in one of the series’ most explode-y sequences ever, Michael, Sam, Jesse, Fi and Tyler survived Card’s attempt to do ‘em all in with an F-18′s bombing run.

Card, though, doesn’t know they escaped, and Michael’s living, breathing status may give him the upper hand with his fallen mentor and finding out why good people still want him dead.

One of TVs best shows,…

The day is drawing closer! Two more days!

Is it Friday yet?

Premiering Friday, Sept. 28 at 9/8c, the 13-episode farewell run is set almost exclusively in the year 2036 — as was Season 4′s Episode 19, “Letters of Transit”* — as Fringe team members past and future try to solve the hairy problem that is an Earth ruled by Observers.

Check out the poster here (spy the callouts to the series’ assorted “bumper” icons, like the handprint and apple?), then scroll down to read more about Season 5.

I’m really looking forward to this season even though it’s only going to be a thirteen episode final run. I am sad of course that there isn’t going to be…

Bones returned Monday night with the premiere of season 8. As a cable cutter, I could not have watched it until Tuesday via Hulu (or any other non-broadcast means). As it was, I was unable to watch it on Tuesday, catching it on Hulu via my Apple TV last night instead.

The season 8 premiere picks up three months after Brennan (Bones) took off with her dad and daughter Christine because she was suspected of murder due to implanted evidence by serial killer and super computer wizard genius — who can do things with computers not even possible in the real world - Christopher Pelant.

Being on…
