Oscar-nominated actor Michael Clarke Duncan passed away on Monday, seven weeks after suffering a heart attack, his fiancée Omarosa Manigault said in a statement to The Associated Press. He was 54.

Duncan was admitted to the hospital in mid-July after suffering a myocardial infarction, from which he never recovered; three weeks later, he was moved out of ICU but remained hospitalized.

Well, that’s a bummer. The Finder wasn’t my favorite TV show ever, but it was enjoyable and Michael’s Leo Knox was defintely a great character.

Bones exec producers Hart Hanson and Stephen Nathan — a.k.a. Team Hathan — took time away from plotting their next grisly death to chat with reporters about the show’s upcoming eighth season (premiering Monday, Sept. 17 at 8/7c).

Herewith are the 10 scoopiest highlights from the call.

Don’t click through if you don’t want spoilers for this new season of Bones. That said, they aren’t earth shattering or big, revealing spoilers, just small ones.

Also, here’s one. Again, this is a spoiler.

This season’s landmark 150th episode is a “weird episode,” said Hanson. “It’s going to be an…

Fringe‘s latest Observer-centric teaser comes with a haunting message for anyone planning to rise against the fedora’d future-dwellers: “Heed. Obey. Serve.” — else be subject to a full cerebral scan, or (gulp) worse.

It is described as an action-packed buddy cop show, set in the near future, when all LAPD officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. Wyman is writing and will executive produce with Bad Robot’s Abrams and Bryan Burk. Kathy Lingg is co-exec producing.

Umm, okay… this will either be really good or really…

Many movie enthusiasts grew up on reruns of Alfred’s Alfred Hitchcock Presents television show. Call it ‘a twisted treat’ of mine that whenever I have need to take a few sick days off work I have a self-enforced Alfred Hitchcock Presents watching marathon. It’s one of the few programs that’s guaranteed to keep my mind off my dismal condition, and it helps that characters in his stories are going through worse problems.

A new promo for the upcoming season premiere of Bones offers some new clips and clues as to what’s to come. Like the first Bones Season 8 promo, it also shows us plenty of blonde Brennan.

One of TV’s most beloved couples clearly has its work cut out for it in the wake of this latest obstacle, but something tells us they’ll be able to pick up the pieces. Love can conquer a great deal.

This show has come dangerously close to jumping the shark more than once and its longevity is something of a mixed bag as far as I’m concerned. Still, it is one of the better shows on TV and I’ll happily…

Fringe is the best show on TV right now. And yes, I’m still sad this is the last season.

I am really cautiously excited to see how they end it though. I’ve been disappointed too many times by the ending of great television (*cough* Battlestar Galactica *cough*).

Here are the promos.

ABC has ordered a pilot for S.H.I.E.L.D, a live-action series from The Avengers writer-director Joss Whedon, Marvel TV and ABC Studios.
