CBS 'Under the Dome' Will Pay Homage to 'The Simpsons'?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 03 May 2013 17:29:29 +0000

The moment CBS announced it would take Stephen King's 2009 thriller 'Under the Dome' to series, certain fans rallied behind a cry of "Simpsons did it" given that the 2007 feature-length adaptation of America's favorite animated family featured a similarly domed premise. Both domes proved mere coincidence, with a 2010 'Simpsons' episode even addressing the similarity, but how will CBS' upcoming summer series pay homage to 'The Simpsons' in turn?

With the talent of 'The Shield' creator Shawn Ryan at the helm, and the promise of a recurring guest role for original film series star Eddie Murphy, we'd be hard pressed to think that CBS' forthcoming 'Beverly Hills Cop' TV series will have a difficult time making it past the pilot stage. And while CBS won't announce a decision for some time, the network has continued casting the pilot with 'Argo' star Sheila Vand as the female lead, and opposing detective for Brandon T. Jackson's Aaron Foley. Get the latest on the 'Beverly Hills Cop' TV series inside!

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 18:15:51 +0000

'How I Met Your Mother' has faced quite a bit of turnaround in the last few weeks, not only culminating in a surprise proposal from mid-season finale "The Final Page," but also from the eleventh-hour news that the cast had very likely agreed to stay on for an additional ninth season. With a new wedding to plot and an additional season to map out, where will Robin and Barney head next when the series picks up in 2013? Show-runners Carter Bays and Craig Thomas reveal what's to come inside!

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 19:15:55 +0000

It has nothing to do with that other 'Twilight,' nor is it merely a series about a scary door, but 'The Twilight Zone' might be ready for a new generation. Sources are saying that acclaimed 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' director Bryan Singer has closed a deal to update the sci-fi/horror classic anthology series for the modern generation (again), likely to land on CBS. What will Bryan Singer bring to a modern 'Twilight Zone?'

'The Big Bang Theory' Preview: Will Sheldon Accept "The Santa Simulation?"

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Thu, 13 Dec 2012 22:30:05 +0000

As fans of 'The Big Bang Theory' well know there are one or two things about society that egghead Dr. Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) finds a trifle superfluous. Yet you'd think for all the childish pursuits he and his fellow 'Big Bang Theory' nerds undertake, he'd be a bit more open to the magic of Christmas. Will the latest episode of CBS' mega-hit comedy "The Santa Simulation" find a way to change his mind? Check out a sneak peek inside to find out!

CBS Goes 'Under the Dome' With Stephen King in Summer 2013

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 17:27:30 +0000

In a rare move that sees major broadcast network CBS taking on a show originally developed for pay-cabler Showtime, CBS has announced that it will take to series an adaptation of esteemed horror author Stephen King's novel 'Under the Dome.' The project is to be written by 'LOST's' Brian K. Vaughn, but will it bring in the post-apocalyptic buzz that 'The Walking Dead' and 'Revolution' have managed to pull in? And will it continue beyond the initial order?

Davey Jones — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 10:51:21 +0000

Some how, some way, Angus T. Jones will be allowed to finish his 10th filth season on “Two and Half Men”. If for some reason CBS cans him before that (which in my opinion they should) he could have a new gig with Uncle Charlie Sheen over on his FX

'Two and A Half Men' Star Angus T. Jones Finds Religion, Calls the Show "Filth"

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 16:11:20 +0000

While we make no personal habit of watching CBS' decade-long powerhouse 'Two and a Half Men,' there's no denying the absurd amount of popularity the former Charlie Sheen-fronted series has achieved in its day. That popularity hasn't always come easily, as recent years saw controversy with series star Charlie Sheen and creator Chuck Lorre explode into the media, but now it seems an all-new development with series star Angus T. Jones has stoked the fires all over again. Could Jones' new-found proclamation of religion put an end to 'Two and a Half Men?'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 15:44:34 +0000

By now, the world audience understands the rules of a reboot. One can pay gentle homage to past iterations, while crafting a new and unique vision of the source material. You certainly never remake something shot for shot in the vein of Gus Van Sant's take on 'Psycho,' but it seems CBS' 'Hawaii Five-0' reboot hasn't quite gotten that memo. The updated series will next tackle the task of remaking classic episodes, but what will be different this time around?
