New Trailer for Season 3 Orphan Black @BBCAmerica #CloneClub

Still no date on when the third season of Orphan Black will premiere on BBC America but here is a very little teaser that will premiere tomorrow during Doctor Who's season finale.

I have to say I love the way the TV season never ends now. Great shows coming back in all seasons, why didn't network TV ever think of this? Probably advertising dollars had to do with it.

Any who...Can't wait for the new season of Orphan Black and what looks to be Clone Club Junior!

#Perception Returns To TNT June 17th @perceptionTNT

Perception returns to TNT June 17th

After nearly a year of waiting Eric McCormack returns to TNT as Dr Daniel Pierce for season 3 of PERCEPTION. I really love this show. It could be brushed off as just another show about solving crimes but it is so much better than that.

Eric McCormack plays Dr. Daniel Pierce an academic neuroscientitist who teaches by day and helps the federal government solve crime with his deductive reasoning by night. But that's not all, Dr. Daniel Pierce is also struggling with his own issues, and it's not the usual crime drama issues of drinking, or women, or gambling, or some combination of all three. He is also a schizophrenic, which sometimes makes it difficult for him to tell the real from the delusion.

Basically, our leading man is the love child of (pick your favorite) Sherlock Holmes and Patricia Arquette's Alison DuBois on MEDIUM. Except here the ghosts are hallucinations. I really love this show. I know I said that already, but I just want to reiterate that.

Sadly, I could only find this tiny season 3 clip but you can see how likable McCormack makes this character in spite of his "eccentricities".

PBS Sherlock returns Tonight

Sherlock returns to PBS tonight with the first of three episodes, right after Downton Abbey. “The Empty Hearse” Sunday, January 19, “The Sign of Three” – Sunday, January 26, and “His Last Vow” – Sunday, February 2. I continue my lament that someone needs to tell England that rationing is over and they can make more than 3 episodes of this at a time. Go crazy give us 6. At least each episode is 90 minutes.

Creator Moffat has said that he already has planned out season 4 and 5 and there are rumblings of Matt Smith (our dearly departed Doctor Who) being cast in a supporting role. So even though we will just get these three now, we can rest assured there is more to come. Phew!



Please don't tell Elementary Sherlock I am cheating on him with Sherlock Sherlock.

Showtime Homeland Season 3 and Marathon of 2

Homeland returns to Showtime this Sunday! Hooray for all of us that have been waiting to find out how things will unravel from here??? Congratulation to Claire Dane's for her Emmy win earlier this week for her work on last season.

If you haven't seen season 2 of Homeland or just can't quite remember all the twist and turns of last season, fear not. Showtime is running a Homeland marathon of seasons 2 beginning at noon on Saturday and Sunday.

So be sure to get all caught up in time for the main event. The premiere of Homeland season 3 Sunday night on Showtime. I've seen the first two episodes and Carrie is in "it" up to her neck as usual. How she will ever dig out of her current predicaments is unfathomable, but I can't wait to watch her attempt it.

Downton Abbey Season 3

So excited to have heard  tonight that Downton Abbey Season 3 will be returning to PBS Jan. 6 2013. We were also treated to a trailer that showed the family having very serious financial problems. Also Mary and Mathews marriage may be on the ropes. Finally, there were some great exchanges between the always fabulous Maggie Smith and Shirley MacLaine in the role of Cora's mother,Martha Levinson.

Apparently the trailer hadn't been seen by anyone but PBS staff until last night. After the trailer there was a cocktail party with the cast.

My first mission was to get to talk with Shirley MacLaine. She was very animated on the panel. I asked her if she had any plans to attend the TCM Film Festival. Neither she nor her representative would confirm anything other than she's been asked and has been out of town in years past. I begged a little and hope it will get her there.

Shirley had a great idea for the show. She suggested that if the Crawleys do lose all their money they should come to America to live with her character, Martha Levinson. I'd love to see that.

Then I was very happy to have a picture with Mr. Bates/ Brendan Coyle who was lovely. He also revealed that when he took the Facebook Downton Abbey, which character are you quiz meme, he was Mary.

Here is a picture of Mary Crawley/Michelle Dockery having a laugh with party goers. She seemed really fun and open to all the guests. But I didn't get a chance to speak with her personally.

Finally, here is Hugh Bonneville/ Robert Crawley showing us his Free Bates tshirt. I wish the trailer had revealed more about Bates' future. But I will have to wait till January.

If you've somehow not seen the show you have a few months to get caught up. I think I'll rewatch them too, just to be uber up on all the comings and goings and ups and downs at Downton Abbey.

January 6th can't come soon enough!

Mad Men Season 3 DVD/Bluray

Lionsgate sent me a copy of Mad Men Season 3 on DVD/Bluray today, and boy am I happy. I've been watching Matt Weiner's commentary of the episodes and loving it. There are lots of great extra features, about the civil rights movement, smoking advertizing, and commentary from various other cast members for each episode.
The greatest thing, though, is just having all these episodes. I've been watching season 1 and 2 on On Demand, even though I have them on DVD too. Now I can rewatch season 3 too!! Yeah!!
Short of the new season starting this is nirvana.



Here's one of the great scenes from last season. The two most capable people, Don Draper and Joan Halloway, in the Mad Men world in one of their rare shared scenes. I've developed quite an involved story about Joan's past with all my watching and rewatching of these episodes. But, I'll save my predictions for the start of the new season.
