Link Tank: TV Blog Coalition Roundup for April 25-27

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation. This week, I dished about Torchwood 's second season finale , was thrilled that guilty pleasure Gossip Girl returned with new episodes (and a Bass sweater for Machiavellian Chuck), praised Rob Thomas for his uncanny casting ability on drama pilot Good Behavior (landing former Arrested Development co-star Mae Whitman as Roxy ), and thought that this week's 30 Rock was a triumph of comedic wit, with an extended homage to Amadeus . Also: news about Lucy Liu joining the cast of Dirty Sexy Money , Gavin & Stacey heads to BBC America , Lloyd and Adwoa create a "chamber of love" on Last Restaurant Standing , FOX renews Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles , and does anyone not think that Richard and Dale deserve a place in the final two on Top Chef ? But, ultimately, I was really all about the

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation. Holy Joss Whedon! This week, I had everyone buzzing with my advance review of the "brilliant" and "gripping" pilot script for Joss Whedon's new FOX drama Dollhouse . I also had an advance review of the second season finale of Torchwood on BBC America, reviewed the US premiere of Doctor Who spin-off The Sarah Jane Adventures , and shared gleeful news about Amy Acker joining the cast of the aforementioned Dollhouse . What else? I celebrated Rob Thomas' decision to leave the 90210 spin-off pilot and focus on his other (superior) projects at ABC, pondered the mini- Arrested Development reunion going on with Mitch Hurwitz's new animated comedy pilot, and wondered if I was well and truly over The Office . Elsewhere in the sophisticated TV-obsessed section of the blogosphere, members of

This week, I was thrilled for the return of 30 Rock and The Office , bemoaned Project Runway moving from Bravo to Lifetime , and offered some movie recommendations for television-centric features .

Link Tank: TV Blog Coalition Roundup for April 4-6

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation. This week, I interviewed Battlestar Galactica 's Katee Sackhoff and took an advance look at the fourth season opener of Battlestar Galactica . Following Ben Silverman's unveiling of the new NBC schedule for the next 65 weeks or so, I reacted to news that the long-in-development and untitled Office spin-off had been ordered and offered up my own pitch on a possible concept that I called "That Was Easy." I also sent an open letter to Hell's Kitchen overlord Gordon Ramsay , and--in light of new Dollhouse casting (Olivia Williams, a story broken by yours truly) --I wondered just what ever happened to Joss Whedon's Buffy spin-off Ripper . Elsewhere in the sophisticated TV-obsessed section of the blogosphere, members of the TV Blog Coalition were discussing the following items... Thought las

Link Tank: TV Blog Coalition Roundup for March 21-23

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation. This week, I was all about the Paley Festival (his fifth!) where I gleefully attended events for Pushing Daisies , Chuck , Judd Apatow , and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion . That didn't stop me from discussing the latest brilliant episode (and the last before the month-long break) of Lost , the second season premiere of FX's The Riches , the latest elimination from Bravo's Top Chef , the fact that Sci Fi has finally (FINALLY!) ordered a pilot for BSG spin-off Caprica , and I urged the producers of HBO's botched $25 million series 12 Miles of Bad Road to stop shopping it elsewhere .

Link Tank: TV Blog Coalition Roundup for March 14-16

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation. This week, I was completely disappointed by the latest obnoxious "twist" on Beauty and the Geek , depressed about the pilot for the US adaptation of Spaced moving forward, and surprised by how much I actually still enjoy CBS' multi-camera sitcom Old Christine . After being forbidden to disclose the elimination by Bravo, I was also finally able to discuss the first chef cut from the pack this season of Top Chef , my views on Rob Thomas writing an updated spin-off of Beverly Hills 90210 , and the Sun-centric latest episode of Lost . Elsewhere in the sophisticated TV-obsessed section of the blogosphere, members of the TV Blog Coalition were discussing the following items...

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation. This week, I was hungry for some more culinary-themed reality mayhem this week and took an advance look at the fiery season premiere of Top Chef , offered up my views on the runway collections of Project Runway finalists Christian, Rami, and Jillian , mourned the possible (but not probable) death of Owen on Torchwood . I also cheered on the valiant couples as they dealt with children on this week's Last Restaurant Standing , recounted early renewals for six CW series (including Gossip Girl ) and the eleventh hour saving of Friday Night Lights at NBC. Oh, and that discussed the possible two-hour 24 prequel that FOX still won't comment on.

This week, I was underwhelmed by Knight Rider , entranced by this week's episode of Lost ("Eggtown") , and hungry for more of BBC America's addictive culinary competition, Last Restaurant Standing .

Abrams' new FOX pilot Fringe , Will Arnett being replaced by Val Kilmer on NBC's two-hour backdoor pilot for Knight Rider , and FX cutting back its episodic order this season for The Riches and Dirt .

Link Tank: TV Blog Coalition Roundup for Jan 25-27

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation. This week, I was all about British TV, from an advance look at Torchwood 's second season opener to the awe-inspiring series finale of Life on Mars . But, lest you think I abandoned US television, think again: I was enraptured by what could be the final two episodes of Chuck this season , gleeful about denim disasters on Project Runway , and pleased as punch with the winners of The Amazing Race 12 . Also, casting updates for $10 million FOX drama pilot Fringe from J.J. Abrams and NBC comedy pilot Kath & Kim . But the biggest news of all: the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reunion at the Paley Festival. I am so there!

This week, I tuned into the first two episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and pleaded with John Connor to wash his greasy hair , was blown away by the penultimate episode of superlative Brit import Life on Mars , and finally caught up on Ugly Betty 's better-than-average recent episodes. Oh, and I waxed philosophical about Team Fierce on the avant-garde challenge this week on Project Runway , discussed the winners of this year's non-existent Golden Globes , and discussed what the DGA deal with the AMPTP could mean for the rest of this season .

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation. This week, I was disappointed in the latest (and last) installment of 30 Rock , which greatly suffered from the absence of writers from the set, was overjoyed to learn about the return of Chuck to the airwaves (even if the final two eps will be split up around The Celebrity Apprentice ), and was enthralled by this week's prom-themed Project Runway challenge (poor Christian!). Oh, and I stepped aside to let my fiancee, the future Mrs. Televisionary, share with the world her love for Gossip Girl .

This week, I was absolutely blown away by the sheer genius of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's series-ender special of Extras , enraptured by the Easter Egg-replete extended trailer for Season Four of Lost , and offered my picks for the best TV of 2007 . I also finally got my notes together and published my interviews with Chuck 's Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, and Adam Baldwin , bemoaned the cancellation (however long coming) for USA's The 4400 , especially while NBC's Bionic Woman seemed to still be kicking , and was gripped once again by this week's fantastic episode of Life on Mars .

Televisionary is proud to be a member of the TV Blog Coalition. At the end of each week, we'll feature a roundup of content from our sister sites for your delectation. This week here at Televisionary, I ecstatically celebrated the return (albeit brief) of Bravo's Top Chef , bid a sad farewell to NBC's Chuck for the time being, and laughed my butt off while watching this week's typically hysterical episode of 30 Rock , among other television-related matters.
