In Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 2 Episode 7, "Legacy of Terror," Luminara disappears while tracking the Geonosian warlord. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker lead a platoon of clone troopers in search of her. Following her trail, the heroes descend deep into the lair of the grotesque Geonosian queen – Karina the Great – where they discover that the hive is alive and teeming with undead defenders.

Luminara is voiced by Olivia d’Abo, perhaps best known for her role as Kevin Arnold’s older sister in TV’s The Wonder Years. d’Abo boasts a career that has included such iconic genre properties as Conan the Destroyer, Green Lantern: First Flight and Ultimate Avengers.

<p>In Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 2 Episode 7, &#8220;Legacy of Terror,&#8221; Luminara disappears while tracking the Geonosian warlord.

<p>Luminara is voiced by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001882/">Olivia d’Abo</a>, perhaps best known for her role as Kevin Arnold’s older sister in TV’s <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094582/">The Wonder Years</a>. d’Abo boasts a career that has included such iconic genre properties as <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087078/">Conan the Destroyer</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1384590/">Green Lantern: First Flight</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0491703/">Ultimate Avengers</a>.</p>
<p> “Luminara is a Jedi, so she’s always going to have that ability to focus and remain calm,” says d’Abo “I’m thrilled to be playing a role that requires such wisdom and strength; it is really empowering. </p>
<p><img src="http://www.buzzfocus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/acw_ia_36074.jpg" alt="acw_ia_36074" title="acw_ia_36074" width="490" height="209" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13174" /></p>
<p>“The themes and characters in the [live-action] films have had such a major influence on me and everyone I know,” says d’Abo. “As a child, Star Wars allowed me to fall into another world that was more vivid, more defined, more authentic and so much more exciting. There’s nothing lightweight about the philosophy of the films, and I am finding that The Clone Wars series is just as timeless.”</p>
<p>“I love science-fiction, the fantasy genre, and comic books,” she says. “They tend to stand the test of time because of their marvelous content; these kinds of projects will always capture people’s attention by providing far-away settings we’d like to escape to. I’ve been really lucky with all my roles and projects because I have an innate understanding of what they require. I just jump in and make them my own.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185834/">Star Wars: The Clone Wars</a> Season 2 Episode 7, &#8220;Legacy of Terror,&#8221; premieres at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, November 20 on Cartoon Network.</p>

Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman find themselves working hard to deliver toys once Santa Claus crash lands on their island and develops amnesia. Besides pleasing some anticipating kids, they set there eyes on using Santa's sleight to return to New York (but don't bet on that one, because there's a Madagascar 3 in the works with a rumored plot to return to Central Park).

Last week, we hopped on a conference call with Chris Rock, voice of Marty.

So it seems like nowadays a lot more adult content comedians are jumping into family projects. What for you is the appeal in doing a crossover like this?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight on NBC at 8PM, Dreamworks present another Christmas special in the vein of 2007&#8217;s success, &#8220;Shrek the Halls&#8221;. This time, it will be the animals from Madagascar that will usher in the holiday season with &#8220;<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1526300/" class="imdblink">Merry Madagascar</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Alex, Marty, Gloria and Melman find themselves working hard to deliver toys once Santa Claus crash lands on their island and develops amnesia. Besides pleasing some anticipating kids, they set there eyes on using Santa&#8217;s sleight to return to New York (but don&#8217;t bet on that one, because there&#8217;s a Madagascar 3 in the works with a rumored plot to return to Central Park).</p>
<p>Last week, we hopped on a conference call with <a  class="imdblink" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001674/">Chris Rock</a>, voice of Marty.<br />
<strong><br />
So it seems like nowadays a lot more adult content comedians are jumping into family projects. What for you is the appeal in doing a crossover like this?<br />
</strong><br />
Chris Rock: I mean, well I&#8217;m obviously already in, you know, with DreamWorks and Jeffrey and all that. I just want to work with the people. They do really good stuff. Kind of gets you with a younger, I mean, you know, you get some of that Hannah Montana money. So, you know, you get in with the kids and that definitely can&#8217;t hurt.</p>
<p><strong>Are there certain holiday traditions that you have or particular shows that you like to watch this time of year?<br />
</strong><br />
I like the Grinch that Stole Christmas and I like the Charlie Brown Christmas thing.</p>
<p><strong>With the films and even with the special, is there much room for you guys to ad-lib or do you pretty much just to stick to a script? </strong></p>
<p>Chris Rock: Oh no they hire you to ad-lib. Why would you hire me to not ad-lib, you know? You know, Don Cheadle is a much better actor than me. I might be able to ad-lib a joke a little better. Chris Rock: I like the Grinch that Stole Christmas and I like the Charlie Brown Christmas thing.</p>
<p><strong>So what keeps you coming back to this particular franchise [for the Madagascar series]?<br />
</strong><br />
Chris Rock: Money. No, no they’re good, I mean, you know, as you get - you realize as you get longer in this business it’s like the only thing that keeps you working is, you know, doing good stuff. You know, I mean the box office is great too but if people don&#8217;t like what you do the moment the box office isn&#8217;t fair that they don&#8217;t want to work with you anymore.</p>
<p>So I try to align myself with as many good things as possible even if, you know, even if I&#8217;m not starring, even if, you know, it always works out. It always works out for the best when you do something good.</p>
<p><strong>Now does having kids of your own have anything to do with it?<br />
</strong><br />
Chris Rock: It’s weird, I started the first Madagascar, me and Ben, start the first Madagascar with no kids. You know, we didn&#8217;t have kids when the movie started. And I don&#8217;t even think we were even thinking about kids to tell you the truth the couple times we were in the studio together. You know, cut to the movie comes out we both have kids, cut to movie, you know, Madagascar 2, he’s got three and I&#8217;ve got two or what ever, you know, it just turns out that way.</p>

Episode 4.08 "Road Kill" will be forever remembered for introducing us to the Trinity Killer shuffle (who knew that John Lithgow was that nimble?). The enigma that is Arthur "Twinkletoes" Mitchell was further unfolded as we find out the genesis for his ritual of three kills. At the age of 10, he inadvertently caused the death of his sister in the bathtub, which in turn caused his mother to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Sometime after that, his father "died," as he put it (more like he got pummeled by a hammer as Dexter puts it).  Phew, that's a lot of take in.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With eight episodes in the can, <a class="imdblink" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0773262/">Dexter</a> Season 4 enters its third act this Sunday with &#8220;Hungry Man&#8221; and all of us are trapped in the writers&#8217; cleverly crafted &#8220;Who Shot Deb and Lundy?&#8221; mystery.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-13146" title="dexter-409-1" src="http://www.buzzfocus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/dexter-409-1.jpg" alt="dexter-409-1" width="153" height="98" align="right" />Episode 4.08 &#8220;Road Kill&#8221; will be forever remembered for introducing us to the Trinity Killer shuffle (who knew that John Lithgow was that nimble?). The enigma that is Arthur &#8220;Twinkletoes&#8221; Mitchell was further unfolded as we find out the genesis for his ritual of three kills. At the age of 10, he inadvertently caused the death of his sister in the bathtub, which in turn caused his mother to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Sometime after that, his father &#8220;died,&#8221; as he put it (more like he got pummeled by a hammer as Dexter puts it).  Phew, that&#8217;s a lot of take in. Is that enough to push a man to a 30 year killing spree? In Trinity&#8217;s wacky case, the signs point to yes.</p>
<p>Back in Miami, the investigation is heating up and we&#8217;re thrown a curve ball in our presumption that Trinity shot Agent Lundy and Deb. Besides showing off her cool scar, Deb gets an epiphany that her bullet entry and exit paths suggest a level shot (not a downward trail expected from a 6&#8242;4&#8243; assailant). That leaves us pondering just who the heck pulled the trigger. No theories other than Trinity being the shooter seem sensible. Was it someone truly the height of Masuka? Was it someone kneeling or sitting in a parked car? Was it Anton in a crime of passion? Was it the reporter Christine in a bizarre (and unbelievable) attempt to &#8220;create&#8221; news? That&#8217;s way too large a pill to swallow. But Trinity seems too easy and I&#8217;m betting we don&#8217;t have all the necessary info yet. The writers always have a bunny in their hat. And I hope it&#8217;s good, because the legacy of this season is riding on this one important reveal.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the rest of the show does its best impersonation of a soap opera. Ok, so I&#8217;m exaggerating just a tad, but have your pick at which romantic thread is the most barf-inducing. Will any of these storylines (Batista / Laguerta, Rita / the neighbor, Quinn / Christine) be game-changing or will they fade into nothingness? Of course, the Quinn / Christine relationship has been a major plot driver this season and seems like it will continue to be (Deb granting Christine the interview is going to put someone in danger, whether it be Christine, Deb or Dexter). For the other two hookups, some serious repercussions can drop if they&#8217;re ever brought into the light. I&#8217;m betting that the Laguerta / Batista escapade will end with them getting caught with one getting fired / reprimanded. Meanwhile, I don&#8217;t necessarily believe that the disgruntled Rita will all-out cheat on Dexter, but that she will back away at the last minute. But, if she is caught - will this push Dexter to feelings of jealousy? Is he even capable of feeling jealous?</p>
<p>Oh, and before I forget - where the heck was Harry this week? Is his ghost only allowed to stay in Miami city limits? Dexter&#8217;s conscious is probably taking a break after killing the innocent photographer, so Harry is subdued while Dexter focuses on killing Trinity.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s only four episodes left. We&#8217;re only left to speculate based on the facts so far and what next week&#8217;s previews show. Judging by the brief glimpse, we may just have to consider Trinity&#8217;s son Jonah as the shooter, who is seemingly disgruntled at how mean his father is (yet another large pill to swallow). Regardless, the shooter has to have some connection back to Trinity otherwise it will cheapen the story of this season. Meanwhile, Rita again finds herself the target of her neighbor&#8217;s advances (and someone may just spot her potential indiscretion - see the clip below).</p>

<p><strong>Episode 4.09 - Hungry Man<br />
</strong><br />
For most people, Thanksgiving is a time for traditions and family. But for Dexter, it&#8217;s an opportunity to get closer to his most dangerous adversary yet. As Dexter gains insight into Arthur&#8217;s psychology by studying those closest to him, he finds himself drawn into a bizarre and twisted world. Meanwhile, Rita has her hands full preparing dinner for a packed house, including a few unexpected guests. Batista gets closure on an old case, while Debra uses the holiday to continue her investigation of the Trinity Killer, a pursuit which threatens her brother&#8217;s safety and brings to light surprising revelations about someone else close to her.</p>

Teaming up for this novel-to-comic adaptation are writer Arvid Nelson (Rex Mundi) and artist Nick Stakal (Criminal Macabre). “Deadlocke” is very loosely based on the young adult novel, “Venomous” by Chris Krovatin.  Both books introduce seventeen-year-old Locke Vinetti, an introvert whose fictional semi-hero creation, Deadlocke, provides an outlet for his inner demons and desires.  

Locke has depended on the tutelage of Casey, a ‘Tyler Durden’- esque character, brimming with confidence and eager to unlock Locke’s pent up emotions through art and physical violence.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Teen angst and mysterious origins form the core of Dark Horse Comics’ latest release, Deadlocke.  Teaming up for this novel-to-comic adaptation are writer Arvid Nelson (Rex Mundi) and artist Nick Stakal (Criminal Macabre). “Deadlocke” is very loosely based on the young adult novel, “Venomous” by Chris Krovatin.  Both books introduce seventeen-year-old Locke Vinetti, an introvert whose fictional semi-hero creation, Deadlocke, provides an outlet for his inner demons and desires.  </p>
<p><img src="http://www.buzzfocus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/dl_cover.jpg" alt="dl_cover" title="dl_cover" width="225" height="346" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-13132" align="right"/>Locke has depended on the tutelage of Casey, a ‘Tyler Durden’- esque character, brimming with confidence and eager to unlock Locke’s pent up emotions through art and physical violence.  Unfortunately, Locke seeks to keep his troubled-past behind him to keep the girl of his dreams, Renee, who harbors her own secrets and insecurities.  It soon becomes clear that the plane separating reality from fiction begin to blur as Deadlocke threatens to become a very real presence in Locke’s life. </p>
<p>Like many comic adaptations, “Deadlocke,” may need some time to develop into a grounded story that flushes out the relationships between these central characters.  Unlike the Krovatin novel, “Deadlocke” does not allow Locke’s inner turmoil to jump from the page.  Though Deadlocke’s streaked-marred face certainly suggests a dark, melancholy personality, none of that is expressed by Locke himself.  Locke’s character fails to provoke any true empathy.  That is, there is no feel of a ‘lost soul looking for redemption’ or that of a ‘bad boy needing the love of a woman to keep him sane’ (think <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162065/">Angel</a> or Spike from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118276/">Buffy the Vampire Slayer</a> fame).  Instead of coming across as ‘dark’ or ‘brooding’, he appears rather sullen and boring.  There is a bit more gravitas to Casey, who is clearly manipulative and edgy.  More intriguing questions surround him like what are his motivations for provoking Locke, and what underlies his relationship with both Locke and Renee?   Although angst is associated with adolescence, it should be set in some substantive backstory that makes the reader connect with the hero’s inner plight.  Otherwise, there is nothing appealing to hold on to.  </p>
<p>The comic adaptation also appears to differ from the novel in that Deadlocke’s presence merges into Locke’s reality, where in “Venomous,” the ‘fictional’-character Blacklight appears to straddle the fence of fact and fiction.  It appears that “Deadlocke” eschews the ephemeral to the more concrete as Locke will have to deal with Deadlocke face-to-face (so to speak) very early in the series.  This may have been deliberate so as not to make the movie-adaptation of the comic feel like “<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137523/">Fight Club</a>” - Junior.  But, to be honest, that is not a bad comparison to be made.  I hope the teen audience that <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1495725/">Deadlocke</a> - The Movie will likely target is smart enough to handle a psychological, teen superhero, action-drama.  </p>
<p>I like to think that teenagers flock to movies like “<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1099212/">Twilight</a>,” &#8220;<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259571/">The Twilight Saga: New Moon</a>&#8221; and hopefully “Deadlocke,” not just for the sexy stars, but because the characters are sexy.  Fickle teenagers will let you know that a good-looking character you can’t sympathize with just isn’t worth spending the time and money on.   Same goes with the comic book fan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that <a class="imdblink" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1299368/">Southland</a> Season 2 is a definite (a big thanks is in order to lovely people at TNT, who decided to save it after NBC cancelled the show), it&#8217;s time for you to catch up on the first season of this gritty crime drama. Warner has announced that the first season will be made available on DVD on <strong>January 26, 2010.</strong></p>
<p>Synopsis:  From Emmy Award winners John Wells, Ann Biderman and Chris Chulack comes a raw and authentic look at the police unit in Los Angeles. From the beaches of Malibu to the streets of East LA, &#8220;Southland&#8221; is a fast-moving drama that will take you inside the lives of cops, criminals, victims and their families.</p>
<p>Michael Cudlitz (&#8221;A River Runs Through It&#8221;) plays John Cooper a seasoned Los Angeles cop, assigned to train young rookie Ben Sherman (Benjamin McKenzie, &#8220;The O.C.&#8221;). Cooper&#8217;s honest, no-nonsense approach to the job leaves Sherman questioning whether or not he has what it takes to become a police officer. Cudlitz and McKenzie are joined by cast members Regina King (&#8221;Ray,&#8221; &#8220;Jerry Maguire&#8221;) who plays Detective Lydia Adams. Adams lives with and is the primary caregiver of her mother. Her partner, Detective Russell Clarke (Tom Everett Scott, &#8220;Boiler Room&#8221;) is an unhappily married father of three. Michael McGrady (&#8221;The Thin Red Line&#8221;) plays Detective Daniel &#8220;Sal&#8221; Salinger. Sal oversees fellow gang detectives Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro, &#8220;Drive,&#8221; &#8220;Ugly Betty&#8221;) and Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy, &#8220;Alpha Dog&#8221;). Arija Bareikis (&#8221;Crossing Jordan&#8221;) plays patrol officer Chickie Brown, a single mom who dreams of being the first woman accepted into SWAT.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[EW.com delivered the goods today, providing a first look at Freddie Prinze, Jr. as the head of CTU New York's field operations team in the 8th Season of 24.


The former teen heartthrob plays Cole Ortiz, head of field operations for a reconstituted CTU in New York City, where the action takes place in the upcoming season. “We’ve attempted to call him a young Jack Bauer, but he really is his own character,” says 24 executive producer Howard Gordon.

Much of Prinze’s storyline concerns his character’s romantic relationship with Dana Walsh, an agent at CTU played Katee Sackhoff. (Sci-fi nerds, try to contain yourself!) “We’ve got a really interesting story to tell with these two,” adds Gordon. “What we learn in short order is that she may not be who she says she is, and it has to do with her past, which comes back to haunt her in the present.

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-13093 aligncenter" title="24-sutherland-prinze" src="http://www.buzzfocus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/24-sutherland-prinze.jpg" alt="Freddie Prinze, Jr. on Fox's 24" width="400" height="300" /></p>
<div class="postquote">The former teen heartthrob plays Cole Ortiz, head of field operations for a reconstituted CTU in New York City, where the action takes place in the upcoming season. “We’ve attempted to call him a young Jack Bauer, but he really is his own character,” says <em>24</em> executive producer Howard Gordon.</p>
<p>Much of Prinze’s storyline concerns his character’s romantic relationship with Dana Walsh, an agent at CTU played Katee Sackhoff. (Sci-fi nerds, try to contain yourself!) “We’ve got a really interesting story to tell with these two,” adds Gordon. “What we learn in short order is that she may not be who she says she is, and it has to do with her past, which comes back to haunt her in the present. This wonderful Boy Scout is about to learn that the woman who he’s about to marry—she’s kind of the perfect girl—has secrets. In the tradition of 24, work and personal lives don’t mix.”</p></div>
<p>Cole is a big fan of Jack Bauer (he just scored some early points in my book) and from the looks of things, he&#8217;s just like a Season 1 Bauer: Head of field operations and having relations with a fellow agent. Tsk, tsk, tsk - you CTU people really love to hook up whilst averting terrorist attacks.</p>
<p>But you know he&#8217;s gonna have to get out in the field for some real action too. I&#8217;m actually rooting for the Prinze to be a good wingman to Jack. And let&#8217;s be honest with ourselves, Ortiz will start out in charge, but Jack will takeover as soon as they convince him to &#8220;get back in the game.&#8221;</p>
<p>But he should know that he has big shoes to fill. Being Jack&#8217;s wingman isn&#8217;t something that should be taken lightly. The once-great Tony Almeida was legendary at running flank. And how about Chase Edmunds (James Badge Dale)? Some of the most exciting moments of Season 3 were when Jack and Chase were running down baddies together (all this, of course, before Mr. Edmunds lost his hand). And we can never forget the awesome Curtis Manning, who had the honor for a few seasons.</p>
<p>So, here&#8217;s hoping that the 8th Season of 24 is even better than the first. The Fox show is back in January - be there.</p>

She responded to questions about the show, being pregnant, among other things. Check out some select questions and answers from the discussion. </p>
<p><strong>What made you want to be a part of this show?</strong></p>
<p><strong>T. Thiessen</strong> Ever since I read the script, which has been a little over a year ago now, I fell in love with it.  I fell in love with the characters.  I fell in love with the show, and more and more, when the cast was brought together, the more excitement I had for the show and wanting to be a part of it.  This is really the first time I feel like in my whole entire career which has been over 25, 26 years of doing this that I finally feel like I’m kind of playing a role a little closer to home for me, which is kind of exciting.</p>
<p><strong>Was there instant chemistry when everyone began working together?  I know you’re very close working together with Tim and Matt as well.</strong></p>
<p><strong>T. Thiessen</strong> We are, from day one.  I of course had met Tim through the testing process of us being put on screen and doing our scenes together, and we had chemistry from day one.  I absolutely adore that man and then met Matt, actually, after we had already started shooting the pilot.  We actually were on the same flight going to New York to shoot the pilot last year.</p>
<p>Then Willie Garson I actually had known just being in the business for so long.  We had met prior, and I’ve always really enjoyed him and loved him, so I was really excited to know that it was actually really kind of a special cast that we were putting together.  I couldn’t be more thrilled with everybody I’m working with.  It’s really a nice group of people.  Being away from home, it makes it so much nicer when you actually like the people you’re working with.</p>
<p><strong>It feels like there’s more to your character than what we’ve seen.  I almost feel like maybe she’s hiding something. </strong></p>
<p><strong>T. Thiessen</strong> Oh gosh, I’m so curious to know what you think I’m hiding.</p>
<p><strong>What sort of background can we expect as we move along?</strong></p>
<p><strong>T. Thiessen</strong> I think you’ll start to see background on all of our characters, especially the guys.  Surely, this show is definitely the guys’ show.  It’s Matt and Tim’s show, and Willie and I definitely play more of a supporting role, but you will definitely see much more of me in the further episodes as you’re coming along.  Last week or two weeks ago you saw a little bit more of what I really do for a living and kind of my career, which is really nice to kind of see because we really never saw that in the pilot, and it was something that we kind of came up with actually after we shot the pilot.</p>
<p>They’re definitely putting more of what I do outside of my relationship with Tim into the show a little bit, and that’ll continue on even, hopefully, in seasons from here on out, which hopefully there’ll be five to ten years of White Collar.  In general, I can’t give you exact specifics, ideas of what’s going to be happening, but I can promise you you’ll see a lot more of her.</p>
<p><strong><img  align="right" class="alignright size-full wp-image-13099" title="tiffani-t-1" src="http://www.buzzfocus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/tiffani-t-1.jpg" alt="tiffani-t-1" width="200" height="267" />What about any sort of action scenes.  Do you get involved in any of the sort of cops and robbers element of it?</strong></p>
<p><strong>T. Thiessen</strong> I don’t think so.  It’s really not part of my character and my storyline in this show.  Again, I’m definitely a supporting role, especially being that I’m the wife of Tim’s character, but you will see a lot of a triangle in a sense of what I can do and help with Matt’s character as well, especially, I think, when it involves the storyline of Kate.  You’ll see that a lot as well.</p>
<p><strong>Now, as a first-time mother, how do you think that it will play out balancing your roles and responsibilities of motherhood and your part on White Collar?</strong></p>
<p><strong>T. Thiessen</strong> You know, that’s a very good question in the sense that I really don’t know being that I am a first-time mom, so it’ll be a very different kind of thing for me being that I’ll be working and being a mother at the same time.  There are millions of people who do it.  My mom did it herself, so I know I can handle it, but it’ll be a very new experience, so it’s hard to say what is going to be like.  It’ll be all brand new for me.</p>
<p><strong>What would you say to those that haven’t seen White Collar yet to convince them to watch?</strong></p>
<p><strong>T. Thiessen</strong> Oh gosh, well, besides having really cute guys on the show, it’s definitely the type of TV and movies that I like to see.  I’m a huge fan of The Thomas Crown Affair and those kinds of feels of movies and shows and 48 Hours, which is so interesting, Catch Me If You Can, things like that.  If people are really into those kinds of movies and those kind of story-telling, they have to watch this show.  It is so absolutely entertaining.  The characters are so rich and so fun to watch and follow.</p>
<p>As well as you see New York City in a completely different way.  It’s shot in a beautiful way.  It’s interesting, a lot of shows that are shot in New York City can be a little more dark and gray, and this show really, I think, kind of captures New York City in a really beautiful light, and it’s nice.</p>

Synopsis:</strong><br />
In The Open Road, minor leaguer Carlton Garrett (Justin Timberlake) takes an unexpected road trip to track down his estranged father, legendary baseball player Kyle Garrett (Jeff Bridges), when Carlton’s mother (Mary Steenburgen) becomes sick.  Knowing his charming yet painfully immature dad’s likelihood to disappoint, Carlton enlists his on-again-off-again girlfriend Lucy (Kate Mara) for emotional support. Once reunited, Carlton struggles to deal with the series of misadventures caused by his father’s antics, including missed flights, car trouble, and bathroom brawls. Years of miscommunication, frustration and comically awkward attempts at bonding come to a head as the mismatched trio make their way from Ohio back home to Houston to reunite the family.</p>
<p>The Open Road also features a stellar supporting cast that includes Kate Mara (Iron Man 2, “24”, Shooter), Harry Dean Stanton (“Big Love,” Inland Empire), Lyle Lovett (Short Cuts), and Mary Steenburgen (“Joan of Arcadia,” Step Brothers).</p>

First, Pam Grier (The L Word) has been signed to play Amanda Waller On 'Smallville.'‎ If you ever followed the Justice League animated series or the DC Universe, Amanda Waller is Big Brother personified. This may spell trouble for Clark and the Chloe-League (because let's face it, Chloe runs the show), but it should be a great boost in story arc depth on Smallville.

Secondly, brace yourselves, Geoff Johns is coming to Smallville. Yes, all you comic savants, the mastermind behind Blackest Night is attacking TV in a 'Super' way. The episodes will feature Stargirl, Hawkman and Dr. Fate. What, no third-smartest man, Mr. Terrific? He always seems to pop up.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two news bombs dropped on the world of Smallville this week.</p>
<p>First, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000427/">Pam Grier</a> (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0330251/">The L Word</a>) has been signed to play Amanda Waller On &#8216;<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279600/">Smallville</a>.&#8217;‎ If you ever followed the Justice League animated series or the DC Universe, Amanda Waller is Big Brother personified. This may spell trouble for Clark and the Chloe-League (because let&#8217;s face it, Chloe runs the show), but it should be a great boost in story arc depth on Smallville.</p>
<p>Secondly, brace yourselves, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0424315/">Geoff Johns</a> is coming to Smallville. Yes, all you comic savants, the mastermind behind Blackest Night is attacking TV in a &#8216;Super&#8217; way. The episodes will feature Stargirl, Hawkman and Dr. Fate. What, no third-smartest man, Mr. Terrific? He always seems to pop up. Aside from Hawkman these may appear to be odd choices overall, but Geoff Johns does pen Justice Society of America, which features the richer more complex, albeit abstract, characters of the DCU. So, he&#8217;s right at home with characters who are out of the limelight. </p>
<p>The episodes are currently titled: &#8220;Society&#8221; and &#8220;Legends.&#8221;</p>
<p>But, honestly, the real shocker is that the Smallville staff felt the need to bring the Wonder Twins to Smallville. In Smallville Season 9 Episode 8,&#8217;Idol,&#8217; superhero twins Zan (guest star David Gallagher) and Jayna (guest star Allison Scagliotti) show up in Metropolis to help The Blur fight crime but end up botching several rescues, landing Clark (Tom Welling) in hot water with the District Attorney&#8217;s office. Clark decides to come forward as the Blur to clear his name. Allison Mack, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman and Callum Blue also star. Glenn Winter directed the episode written by Ann Coffel Saunders.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[It's official, Kathleen Turner has a potty mouth. Well, that's actually an understatement. This season of Californication has exposed the sexual beast that is Kathleen Turner and we can't get enough of it.

Surprisingly, Kathleen says she is often shocked by what her character, Sue Collini, has to say and do. "I'm just like blushing," Turner says. Turner describes her character in the first script as a force of nature, and anyone who has witnessed this season of Californication can testify to that. She's hands down the best guest star this show has ever had the pleasure of featuring.

		<description><![CDATA[Our favorite new show of the fall season, White Collar, is brand new tonight with episode 4, Flip of the Coin.

It's more of the dynamic duo of Peter and Neal as a cache of gold sends them on a search to track down smuggled Iraqi artifacts. Although signs point to a US soldier, the trail leads to a corrupt news producer who was embedded in the embattled territory.

White Collar continues to remain sleek and intriguing and the show is only going to get better as the bond between Peter and Neal strengthens. America is noticing too, because the ratings are phenomenal (the show's second episode retained 94% of its audience and was the top rated original drama on cable).

Take a look at a preview of tonight's episode and make sure to tune in at 10PM on USA.
