Best Subway Commute Ever: Spotting Sam Waterston On 1 Train

Being underground on a steamy subway platform can be sweaty and soul-crushing. Which is why spotting Sam Waterston this morning—waiting for a train with a crowd of commuters—was like a mirage. When he entered the crowded 1 train, he took out his glasses and studied the subway map—perhaps he was trying to figure out what station would be his best bet to check out some of these spots. more ›

Get Out! Jerry Seinfeld's Least Favorite Seinfeld Episode Was "The Alternate Side"

Jerry Seinfeld was on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live last night where he revealed the longest he's been the master of his domain and how the actresses who played his many girlfriends had terrible breath.

TV Exec Spent 8 Months To Find The PERFECT Doughnut For Upfronts

The TV upfronts—when networks present their new fall lineups, in hopes that advertisers will love it and spend millions—have started, and if it's not a monkey on the shoulder of a former Hell's Kitchen rocker-turned-"Uncle Andy" (go to the 50-second mark) and seeing Britney Spears as a X-Factor judge (3-minute mark), then it's all about the lavish parties and the food the networks will provide to make sure advertisers are happy and full enough to let their guards down and open their media spending wallets. more ›

There Could Be SEVERAL More Seasons Of <em>Arrested Development</em> Coming!

For several years, the prospect of new episodes of Arrested Development has seemed on the verge of becoming the cinematic equivalent of a new My Bloody Valentine album—always tantalizingly on the horizon, but never really in reach (also, lots of distortion?). But with a new Netflix deal in place, the cast and crew are preparing to film a 10-episode fourth season this summer. And it was revealed yesterday during the National Association of Broadcasters convention that we may even get MULTIPLE new seasons of Arrested: "We would love this to be the first first of many visits," creator Mitch Hurwitz said.

Video: Inside The World Of <em>Frasier</em> Celebrity Cameos

Video: Inside The World Of Frasier Celebrity Cameos

Looking back on it, Frasier was a truly unique show: it was the most successful spin-off ever, lasting as many seasons (11) as Cheers. The show (mostly) never dumbed down its comedy for the audience, yet remained a critical and commercial success on primetime Thursday's for the majority of its run. It made Kelsey Grammar a star, despite allowing him to sing its theme song. All six main characters (including dog Eddie) stayed with the show for its entire series, while another main character (Maris) was never seen. Oh, and the show had countless "secret" celebrity guest cameos. more ›

We Watched The Brooklyn 11223 Premiere Last Night And Have Some Thoughts

Brooklyn 11223 started airing on Oxygen last night and we watched it so you wouldn't have to. The show is a transparent rip-off of the soul-sucking yet mind-bogglingly successful Jersey Shore. Except this one is set in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The first thing you see are flashes of parts of Brooklyn that are mostly nowhere near Bay Ridge, all soundtracked by music that will make the viewer think Brooklyn is a tough place. They show shoes hanging on telephone lines at least three times during scene transitions. BROOKLYN! more ›

James Gandolfini Said "WTF?" After Seeing Sopranos Finale

Vanity Fair is publishing "The First-Ever Oral History of The Sopranos" in its upcoming issue, and one of the topics is the HBO's series' legendarily abrupt finale, which earned mixed reviews at first but is now considered as being groundbreakingly anticlimactic. James Gandolfini, Tony Soprano himself, says, "When I first saw the ending, I said, ‘What the f--k?’. I mean, after all I went through, all this death, and then it’s over like that?" more ›
