Question: Is it too early to talk Emmys? (Or Golden Globes for that matter?) I say never too early! And especially now that the young season is a few weeks old, I wanted to get your take on potential new nominees that can hopefully replace some of the dead wood (*cough* Entourage *cough*). If I look at the comedy category, I'm already predicting Glee to make a splash. It’s got the buzz, the press coverage, the iTunes, the uniqueness. I'm expecting nominations for, at the very least, Jane Lynch and hopefully Kristin Chenoweth for her brilliant guest turn, as well as show, direction, writing and a host of other technical awards. I want to talk for a minute, however, about my household's favorite new comedy (and perhaps favorite comedy overall): Modern Family. I'm consistently bowled over by this genuinely unique and funny show. Not since Arrested Development have I been this engaged week in and week out. With a talented ensemble this large, however, how do you pick from among them for awards consideration? Who goes lead? Who goes supporting? This much is certain: Hopefully the Academy will recognize Ty Burrell. His Phil is the character that keeps my wife and I in stitches nearly every time he's on screen. He's a great actor, and a fantastic physical comedian. I hope he gets recognized. I also think a supporting actor nod is in the cards for Eric Stonestreet's Cameron, and he should submit the episode when he tried to save Lily from a locked car. We watched that scene, like, a dozen times and couldn't breathe. Hopefully, Shelley Long gets recognized for her outstanding guest work, and I'm hoping other members of the ensemble get recognized as well as the excellent writing and direction. If any show deserves to kick off 30 Rock from its throne, this one is it! Do you agree?—Andy

Matt Roush: One of the most encouraging accomplishments of this season has been the successful launch of some terrific new comedies that, if the Emmy voters can rouse themselves from their typical slumber and their infatuation with all things HBO, should result in some refreshing new blood in the comedy categories. Glee has to be seen as a contender in many of the creative categories, and Jane Lynch is as close to a shoo-in as you’d hope not to jinx by pointing that out. The show will probably suffer from the Emmy prejudice against younger performers, and the show is so reckless and uneven from week to week that it could inhibit its chances for being appropriately celebrated for the risks it’s taking. But Modern Family? As you said, an embarrassment of comic riches. I agree that if its quality holds up through the first season, and I don’t see why it wouldn’t, it’s the best chance we’ve seen in a handful of years to stop the 30 Rock losing streak. 30 Rock is still very funny and twisted, but Modern Family is real funny. As in: about human beings, not ironic comic constructs and wicked in-joke industry satire. My sense is that Modern Family is enjoying great buzz not just among critics and fans, but in the industry as well, which can recognize an instant and enduring classic when it sees one. As for nominations: Hard to say who will be seen as lead and/or supporting in that flawless cast. If most of them (as I’d expect) put themselves up as supporting players, I’d agree that Ty Burrell and Eric Stonestreet are easily the obvious first tier of breakout players, but I’d be happy to see many others in the mix as well: Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Sofia Vergara, Ed O’Neill, Julie Bowen doing classic straight-man/woman material, and so on. The writing and direction, if only for the pitch-perfect pilot, will also break through. If the Emmys waste any of those precious nominations on shows like Entourage or new and underwhelming misfires like Hung and Bored to Death (with the exception of Ted Danson), it will be a sad coda to a great year in TV comedy.

Question: V has finally premiered and I can now see why you watched the pilot so many times!!! The show simply blew me away, with all of the reveals and the interesting way they set up I guess what will be the main overarcing plot of the season. I still have it saved on my DVR and might have to go rewatch it again just for sheer pleasure. Anyway, I know ABC is doing a quad pod of episodes or something like that now and the rest will premiere next year. Still not happy about that, but hey what can you do? Since V is based on a miniseries, do you think it has staying power on a network like ABC? ABC really hasn't had that type of show for quite some time. They are more about comedies now and straight-up dramas and then of course they have Dancing With the Stars. I just don't want ABC to give up on the show like NBC did for Southland. Also, will any other cable channels rebroadcast the episodes that premiere on Tuesdays at later dates? I only ask because I know that after Heroes premieres a new episode on Monday, G4 plays that same episode Tuesday night.—Dwayne

Matt Roush: I wouldn’t worry about ABC pulling a Southland on V, and for what it’s worth, this is a network that has aired Lost for six seasons, so it’s not a stretch to think they’re more than willing to get behind a new serialized fantasy-adventure. (They’ve also committed to the first full season of FlashForward, an even riskier show.) I’m not crazy about ABC’s strategy of airing four episodes then taking a long break until after the Olympics, but there’s no doubt they launched the series like an “event” and it paid off at least the first week. Depending on where the story leaves off before the break, it’s entirely possible ABC will be able to make the show’s return feel like another event.

Question: So I am on board with wherever V is going to take us, but I have a few thoughts. First off, one of the best things about the first episode was the interaction between Alan Tudyk and Elizabeth Mitchell. I was so disappointed to find out he was one of them. I know it was a great shock moment, but I feel cheated that we won't get to explore their partnership. I hope we get more of the amazing Mr. Tudyk because what a waste if he was only cast for such a minor role. My other problem with the premiere episode is probably one that most people didn't even notice. In the opening scenes, the gentleman in the wheelchair was halfway up the steps to the church. I am at a loss to explain it. There was no ramp, no elevator. How on earth did he get halfway up, and why halfway? If someone was assisting him into church, why wouldn't they take him all the way up? Frankly, it looked stupid. Yes, I am open to accept spaceships and alien lizards in people suits, but this particular scene bothered me. Also, have you seen Stargate Universe? This is a show I really wanted to love. I enjoyed SG-1 and loved Stargate Atlantis, but this latest installment leaves me feeling flat. I understand that they want to create a different show, more serious then the previous two, but so far for me nothing is working. The characters are boring. I can't seem to care about any of them, and with actors as talented as Robert Carlyle, David Blue and Ming Na, that shouldn't happen. The choice to keep the set so dark just makes me think they have something to hide, as in a bad set design. It doesn't strike me as moody or gritty, but rather that they are trying and failing to achieve that. The lines for Eli are trying way too hard to be comic relief. None of the peril feels real, I have no sense of danger for any of the main characters. I adore science fiction and was really looking forward to having a new Friday night show, but I’m afraid that this isn't it.—Linda

Matt Roush: First, V. The shock value of having a recognizable actor (from past genre work) like Alan Tudyk be revealed to be a “visitor” was an important twist for the show to be able to pull off. His name is still listed in the guest cast in ABC’s releases for the next few episodes, so maybe you will be seeing more of him. (I’d like to be surprised if that turns out to be the case.) Your nitpick about the man in the wheelchair on the church steps is something that got past me each time I screened the pilot, but yes, continuity lapses can really take you out of the “reality” of the story if you let it. I’ve got nothing to add to that. Secondly, Stargate Universe. I can’t really argue with you that the show’s relentless grimness (in the episodes I’ve seen; I’m one or two behind) could work against its in the long run, especially for those weaned on the previous Stargate series’ lighter touch. The big proble, as you note, is that unlike the camaraderie and chemistry of the previous casts, very few characters have popped yet, although I like the intensity of Robert Carlyle and the “math-boy” nerdiness of David Blue. And I do think the show has managed to sustain a fairly consistent tone of danger and fear, given that much of what happens on this Ancient ship is out of their control. But since we know there’s not a show if they don’t somehow survive, it’s probably true that if it doesn’t become a little more of a joyride in the near future, complaints will likely get even louder.

Question: Thank you for your kind words about Supernatural, especially last Thursday's barn-burner of an episode (and thanks for catching up). "Changing Channels" reminds me why this seems to be the one show I continue to look forward to week after week. It was so packed with humor, yet brought the story forward with a gut-punch of genuine emotion. I feel sad for anyone who has given up on the show and is missing out on this season, because everyone seems to be hitting on all cylinders, and even the "non-mythology" episodes are bringing something extra to the table. We haven't even met Michael yet! I am so looking forward to seeing how things play out.—Mary

Matt Roush: You and me both. Got a lot of feedback to that episode and to my column touting it. JG wrote in with this observation: “I know the late Kim Manners, who worked on Supernatural, had also worked on some of the best episodes of The X-Files, and there is always that familiarity for me of The X-Files with this series. I always felt when The X-Files did humor on some of its finest episodes, they were funnier than most of the comedies on the air at the time, and it is true with Supernatural, also. Bravo to the Winchester boys for another top-notch episode. If this is the last season, I am going to miss this show terribly.”

Again, you and me both. But as discussed in earlier columns, if this does turn out to be the final season, it’s a doozy, and as long as everyone involved with the show is on board with the decision to end or continue the story, I’ll be satisfied to see it go out on top of its game.

Question: Syfy's Eureka is one of my very favorite shows (well, maybe Warehouse 13 is now, too), but I am seeing a lot of Eureka's characters on other shows, like Henry on The Good Wife and Tess on Eastwick. The way the season ended also rather seemed like an finish, so my question is: Is Eureka not coming back next summer?—TL

Matt Roush: Eureka will be back, probably next summer, although no timetable has yet been announced for its fourth season (which like the previous one could be split into two mini-seasons). The show is doing too well for Syfy for them to let it go just yet. The reason you’re seeing an actor like Joe Morton (Henry) show up in other series is that he’s an in-demand character actor, and when Eureka is between seasons, he’s free to take jobs elsewhere. However, Jaime Lee Newman being a regular on Eastwick would seem to be a greater conflict, except for the very strong likelihood that by the time Eureka is gearing up for its return, Eastwick may be just a distant memory unless things improve for that show.

Question: Word over here in England is that V has been a ratings smash. I'm so pleased. I grew up with this show as a kid and having watched the first nine minutes online, I was pining for more. My question is: Given that recent re-imaginings have given guest appearances to original cast members, can we expect to see any of the delightful 80s cast in this new edition? I'm thinking particularly Marc Singer, Jane Badler and Michael Ironside as personal favorites. Have the producers any plans to give old favorites meaty roles? I say meaty because cameos rarely do any justice to the fans (The Hoff in Knight Rider), but Richard Hatch's recurring stint in Battlestar Galactica was a most memorable and morally ambiguous character. And of course from one Farscape fan to another, any movement on the webisodes? Last I heard (Comic Con), they were still moving forward. I miss that show dearly. With the exception of Dean in Supernatural, I don't think there's been a sci-fi character since John Crichton that made me laugh and cry so much.—Jason

Matt Roush: I haven’t seen or heard anything suggesting former V actors will be brought in as an homage, but I’m sure it’s possible. I agree that Richard Hatch’s role on Battlestar Galactica was a meatier comeback than is usual for the genre. V is nowhere near as heavy a show, so I’d bet if they go that route—and if there are spoilers about this, I’m happily in the dark—it would probably be a bit cheekier. (Jane Badler in charge of rodent control, maybe?) Regarding Farscape webisodes: Every time the question is asked, the answer is always the same: It’s still on the drawing board, but no word about when or exactly what to expect. That’s the sort of thing that, when all systems are go, it’s hardly likely to stay a secret for long. I miss Farscape too and always will. It put the former Sci Fi Channel on the map, and I loved covering that show all the way to its premature end.

Question: Why remake The Prisoner? For people like me—who never saw the original and know nothing about it, and probably would never check out the 60s show without something like the remake making it relevant again. I'm quite curious to check out the Jim Caviezel/Ian McKellen miniseries. Considering my enjoyment of Dollhouse, FlashForward, Sliders and other mind-bending shows like that, it should be interesting! Sounds like Six might have something in common with Echo, having the self-awareness that no one else seems to have.—Liz

Matt Roush: AMC’s Prisoner remake (which begins airing on Sunday; my review is in the current issue of TV Guide Magazine and will be posted online later this week) is without doubt interesting, which isn’t the same as being altogether successful or even a good idea. I realize that vintage TV isn’t everyone’s bag, and there is much about the original Prisoner that appears primitive by today’s standards and totally trippy from anyone’s perspective. It was very much ahead of its time, and yet also very 60s in flavor. The remake, however, adds little to the Prisoner legend, and feels to me like a much more lugubrious affair, with little of the visionary quality (and irrepressible wackiness) that Patrick McGoohan brought to the original. Ian McKellan is, as you’d expect, sensational as Two, but I found myself missing the whimsy of having a different Two appear in every episode. I’m curious what the critical and audience reception will be. But I’m reasonably sure that whereas the original was a landmark that anyone who’s seen it has never been able to forget, the remake won’t linger nearly as long on the cultural landscape.

Question: Many of my friends and I are very disappointed that you never mention our favorite show Castle in your reviews. Nor has it been mentioned in the Highlights column. We agree that it is one of the very best shows on TV. It is humorous, story- and character-driven, with good story lines and wonderful, witty dialogue and has the feel of Moonlighting and Remington Steele. A welcome relief from the heavy blood and guts and violence that dominates and is so prevalent in other shows. Nathan Fillion is perfect in his role as Richard Castle. Not only is he an excellent actor, he is extremely appealing and funny with great timing. Stana Katic is really good as his reluctant partner. It is always enjoyable. Obviously we think it deserves mentioning along with our other favorites NCIS, Brothers & Sisters, Mad Men, The Closer, Drop Dead Diva and Bones. I would hate to think it is being ignored because it is different and clever, and not loaded with violence, blood and guts, and “tricks.”—Jacquie

Matt Roush: I hope you got your hands on the current issue of TV Guide Magazine (with Sesame Street on the cover), because Castle’s Nathan Fillion is the lead feature in our Highlights section this week. It’s like we were anticipating your needs. Castle has many fans at the magazine, including me. I reviewed it positively when it first premiered, and I’ve given it shout-outs when appropriate (like when Fillion donned his old Firefly space-cowboy costume in the Halloween episode). But it’s probably true that shows like this, which don’t make a lot of noise but are perfectly enjoyable, tend to get taken for granted and don’t always surface as often as they should in the regular watercooler discussion. Doesn’t mean we aren’t enjoying it or that we aren’t thrilled that ABC is sticking with it. But it’s also true that Castle wasn’t the breakout ratings hit that CBS’s similarly light-touch The Mentalist was—there are a number of obvious reasons for that, including CBS’s across-the-board success with procedurals—which may also explain why the media doesn’t make a bigger fuss over it.

Question: So I know you're a big fan of Cristina and Owen on Grey's Anatomy, like many of us. But after seeing the promo of Cristina kissing the new doctor, Jackson, it is so disappointing to watch Grey's all season 6 take this amazing relationship that they built throughout season 5 and flush it down the toilet week after week. Between Cristina's professional hysteria and Owen being a blockhead about her feelings for four episodes, it's as if everything we left off with at the end of season 5 has disappeared. If they're going to bust up this couple, I need to know as soon as possible, because I just can't bear to watch it onscreen. Please give us Cristina and Owen fans something good to look forward to. I don't want to watch Cristina or Owen cheat on each other. The Nov. 5 episode was titled, ironically, "Invest in Love;" I've invested an awful lot of love in this couple and season 6 has not given me any return at all on my investment. If the show plans to just break my heart, I need to take my love somewhere else.—Jennifer

Matt Roush: Does the course of true (or even untrue) love ever run smooth on Grey’s Anatomy? I still get hysterical e-mails every week from fans who are terrified that Shonda Rhimes and her writers are going to break up Meredith and Derek any minute now, unable to relax and enjoy them in their current happy state. I understand this, because of the torture the writers put that couple through before they reached this plateau. But Cristina and Owen clearly have many obstacles to overcome before their relationship settles down, if it ever does. I totally agree that this season has been unduly harsh to Cristina, both professionally and personally. She is way overdue a win in one arena or the other—but the arrival this week of Kim Raver as a former war colleague of Owen’s is surely only going to make things worse for a while. It’s called conflict. Grey’s thrives on it, being a combination medical show/romantic soap opera. It can be very frustrating for the hardcore “shippers,” depending on who they’re rooting for at the moment. But I’m still invested, especially after the last few unusually strong episodes. I’ll let the relationships take care of themselves if the show is delivering drama this entertaining.

Question: Just watched the season premiere of Friday Night Lights, which I won't say anything about in detail since I know there are only a minority of us watching it on DirecTV (or via other online methods, as I am). I will say that it was another great hour of drama that wasn't always easy to watch because I'm so invested in these characters. It's tough to say goodbye to old favorites, but I look forward to getting to know the newbies. So my (largely rhetorical) question is: Now that NBC's lineup is such a disaster, what do they really have to lose by airing such a terrific show in the regular season? Last I heard, they were waiting until summer, but looking at Leno's ratings, FNL could certainly match them—and give NBC at least a shred of dignity. Sadly, considering the unceremonious cancellation of Southland for being "too dark” (ludicrous!), I suspect NBC will continue airing garbage while FNL sits on the bench. It's a sorry state of affairs for a once-great network.—Keira

Matt Roush: No argument here. But to be clear, as long as DirecTV is directly responsible for keeping this show alive, it’s contractually impossible for NBC to air Friday Night Lights until after DirecTV’s first run is finished. Which doesn’t mean the show deserves to be sidelined until summer, which seems to be the current plan. In the best of all worlds, should NBC schedule this to return shortly after the Olympics, perhaps trying to appeal to sports fans to join the show in this transitional season? Of course—although some would argue that nothing is likely to budge FNL’s numbers at this point. Still, how could it hurt a network that’s already in such obvious pain?

Question: Just saw your review for Place of Execution on PBS Masterpiece Contemporary and it made me wonder if there are to be any more broadcasts of Wire in the Blood, which is my favorite British mystery series. Have you heard anything about new episodes being filmed? It seems like BBC America has become the British equivalent of A&E, because they televise so many reality shows now, and I really miss their Mystery Monday lineup, but I guess I should be grateful for the Sci-Fi Saturday programming. As always, love your column. You have a positive impact on my viewing habits. I know that there is a lot of dreck being broadcast now but there are also many good shows out there to enjoy. For several years, my TV time dropped significantly as favorite series disappeared but now the shows that I watch (and record) are at an all-time high and my reading time has dwindled. Thanks for your work in letting us know what is worthy of our time.—Sara Anne

Matt Roush: Happy to help, and thanks for the feedback. I hope you enjoyed Place of Execution, which really was an exceptional drama. The book it was based on, by Val McDermid, turned me on to this writer long before the Wire in the Blood episodes began airing here. Speaking of which: There does appear to be a season’s worth of episodes that did not air in the States. (And at present, there apparently are no plans to make any episodes beyond that for now.) But BBC America does not have any plans at present to air these episodes. As you note, the channel has made a noticeable shift toward reality and documentary, leaving little room for imported mysteries—although sci-fi continues to be a draw on weekends. A shame, because some of these series (especially Wire in the Blood) were among the best of their type.

Question: Once upon a time, there was some terrific original programming on Hallmark: Mystery Woman, Jane Doe, McBride and another starring Jane Seymour. Is there any hope of any new episodes of these?—Vicky

Matt Roush: Probably not. Hallmark is planning to announce a number of original series to begin airing next fall, both scripted and unscripted, as well as keeping the weekly movie franchise going on Saturday nights (mostly heart-warmers, not as many mysteries, I’d think). No details yet on what these series will be, but the mystery “wheel” franchises tended to skew very old—I call it the Matlock factor (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Sounds to me like Hallmark, like so many cable entities, is in the process of reinventing its brand. Including having launched the Hallmark Movie Channel HD, which is wall-to-wall movies.

Question: I've been recording FlashForward and am quite interested to see where it goes. However, I'm afraid that it may end suddenly in its first or second season, like other shows of this supernatural kind have. In past years I got hooked on Invasion, The 4400 and The Nine, which were all canceled abruptly, with no final episode, so viewers were robbed of any resolution. No endings really make me very angry. So why should I start watching any of these types of shows that are coming out now, like V and The Forgotten (and FlashForward)? One other thing I'd like to ask you: Doesn't The Mentalist seem to be a male version of Murder, She Wrote? I've watched it twice(when my favorite shows were reruns) and right away got that feeling.—Debbie

Matt Roush: The FlashForward producers promise a resolution of some sort by the end of the first season regarding the mysteries presented in the pilot episode. (Although as always in shows like these, answers only beg new questions.) Whether those answers will be satisfying, who can say yet. But in all of these cases, and I’m like a broken record here, if a show intrigues you and pulls you in, I always recommend going along for the ride regardless of where it may or may not take you. When shows like this are canceled too soon, like Invasion for a very good example, it is very frustrating. But I don’t regret for a minute having watched that first and only season. As for The Mentalist being like a male Murder, She Wrote, the similarity is really one of tone. Like the Jessica Fletcher series, The Mentalist is typically very light in tone (except for the excursions into the Red John story) and very much a star vehicle where everyone marvels at the main character’s perspicacity, but at least with The Mentalist, there’s a reason why Patrick Jane is dealing with a murder-of-the-week. As my mom often said of Jessica, who would accept an invite to anywhere she would go? She didn’t just write murder, she brought it with her.

Question: I had to write and thank you for bringing the excellent BBC America show Being Human to my attention. I managed to catch the mini-marathon that aired a month or two ago, and my boyfriend and I were hooked from the first episode! Granted, there were only six to watch, but I loved the different yet contemporary slant this show had on the werewolf/vampire/ghost clichés, and the story for all three leads was compelling and believable. Do you have any news about a second season (I hope, I hope)? I've got a handful of friends trying to catch the series via NetFlix and would love to let them know that more is coming.—Sandy

Question: Yes, there will be a second season, but I don’t have a confirmed timetable for when it will air either in England or in the USA. (Given BBC America’s recent track record, I’m betting and hoping that we’ll get to see it very shortly after it begins airing over there.) In other news, Syfy has announced that it is developing its own version of the series in an Americanized format. Excited or dismayed? I don’t know, either.

Question: All this talk about NBC’s Leno/Conan/primetime debacle has me taking another look at one of my favorite cable movies ever, The Late Show, about the Carson/Leno transition, and it is amazing how NBC managed to make exactly the same mistakes 17 years apart. They managed to treat Carson, Leno and Letterman pretty shabbily and the higher-ups never seemed to be satisfied with their own decisions. Now they’ve managed to put Conan, Leno and NBC dramas in difficult positions. What would have been the harm in just letting Leno sit there in the Tonight Show chair until he was ready to give it up? Give Conan’s audience some time to age and want to go to bed earlier. I do agree with what Leno said in a recent interview that NBC will still make money on the deal and that they would have just filled the time with Dateline or some reality junk. They are obviously not committed to drama programming anymore, preferring to leave that to USA Network. Maybe this whole debacle will make an interesting sequel to The Late Show. Toss in Letterman’s recent troubles and you could have an interesting show. Maybe Bravo or USA could run it.—Cyndy

Matt Roush: Yeah, as if one of NBC’s cable siblings would air something that would show the network in such a bad light. The situation in The Late Show was a classic battle of larger-than-life personalities in front of and behind the cameras, but NBC at least could spin that one into an eventual happy ending, as Leno became the ratings leader after a rocky transition. This “sequel” is a much more depressing story, more of a corporate tragedy, about a lack of vision and a colossal bungling of talent that has sent an entire network into a perceptual tailspin. You’re absolutely right that Leno should have been able to choose the circumstances under which he would leave the Tonight desk, and it wouldn’t have been for years. But NBC was afraid of losing Conan to ABC or another competitor, which started this whole disastrous game of late-night dominoes. Still, it is a juicy story, and once the dust settles, I’m sure books will be written about NBC, Leno, Conan, Letterman and the whole mess. What a year.

Question: I am hoping that the producers of Law & Order are not planning on killing off the character of Lt. Anita Van Buren. Do you have any inside information regarding this matter?—Jeff

Matt Roush: I don’t know how the arc involving Van Buren’s cancer treatments is going to end, but I’m with you. I can’t imagine Law & Order without S. Epatha Merkerson, currently the actor who’s been with the show the longest (since season 4). The way I look at it is that it gives this often-underused star something meaty to play this season, and that’s a gift to an actor. Like you, I hope it isn’t easing her toward an untimely exit. Right now, I prefer not to know where it’s heading.

Question: I have really enjoyed David E. Kelley's work on TV with shows like Picket Fences, Chicago Hope, The Practice, Ally McBeal and Boston Legal. He introduced his audiences to topical, controversial situations and I miss that. I was surprised when the pinnacle of megahit TV, NBC, turned down his recent pilot, Legally Mad. Nursery rhymes from Kelley would be more interesting than NBC's current offerings. Do you know if Kelley is working on anything for a possible future series?—Victoria

Matt Roush: It is strange not to have a David E. Kelley show on network TV after such a long run. I haven’t heard what’s next from his company, but given his workhorse tendencies, I can’t imagine he isn’t prepping something for the next pilot season. Let’s hope it turns out better than Legally Mad. Trust me, it’s a blessing that one didn’t get the green light. NBC has plenty of problems already this season.
