'Off the Map' is the latest medical series from the ladies behind 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Private Practice,' Shonda Rhimes, Betsy Beers and creator Jenna Bans. If you haven't figured out their winning formula by now, this show proves that hot doctors plus interesting cases equals a sexy hit show. 'Off the Map' (premieres Wed., Jan. 12, 10PM ET on ABC) adds an exotic locale to the mix, with a ...

'The Vampire Diaries' star Michael Trevino is following in the footsteps of 'Teen Wolf' and Taylor Lautner before him: on Dec. 9, he's turning into a werewolf. But don't expect too much CGI in his first on-screen transformation -- the believability of his full moon fever rests a lot on Trevino as an actor. And judging how he's handled losing some family members and discovering his pal Caroline ...

Candice Accola has had one hell of a season on 'The Vampire Diaries.' Since her character, Caroline, was smothered with a pillow, given blood and turned into a vampire, she's been thrown challenges that only seasoned vamps could sink their fangs into, and passed with flying colors. And lots of blood. Now Caroline's got an ally in jock-turned-werewolf Tyler Lockwood (Michael Trevino). They've ...

Bob Saget is one of those guys that's kind of hard to pin down. He rose to fame on 'Full House' as clean-cut, aw shucks single dad Danny Tanner, followed by a stint hostng 'America's Funniest Home Videos.' Not long after, he got back to his stand-up roots and shocked a lot of people with his curse-filled rants and borderline inappriate stories about the Olsen twins, his former TV daughters. ...

This week, 'Raising Hope' goes rock 'n' roll. Like washed up '80s hairband rock 'n' roll. Guest star Jason Lee -- who starred in creator Greg Garcia's last hit 'My Name Is Earl' -- is playing Smokey Floyd, a has-been rocker who also happens to be Burt's (Garret Dillahunt) musical idol. He's in town "headlining" Grocery-Palooza (Tues., 9PM ET on Fox), if that gives you any indication of how far ...

Fran Drescher is well known from shows like 'The Nanny' and 'Living With Fran,' but her trademark will always be her voice. So it's only fitting that her signature sound -- and that trademark-worthy laugh -- get its own arena. Enter 'The Fran Drescher Tawk Show,' her new daytime show which premieres in several markets today (Fri., Nov. 26; check local listings). I caught up with Drescher to ...

I seriously cannot wait for 'Top Chef All Stars.' Seeing cheftestants from seasons past, going head-to-head to prove they deserved to win is my idea of good TV. Add new judge Anthony Bourdain to that equation and I'm practically giddy. I caught up with Tony and head judge Tom Colicchio to find out who's changed the most, and who they'd want to hang out with outside of the show. Plus, fans of ...

'Storm Chasers' has been insane this season, hasn't it? I mean, of course a show about tracking tornadoes gets its fair share of weather issues, but it's the drama when the storms stop that really keeps people tuning in. And there's plenty of it. On tonight's episode (10PM ET on Discovery), the Twistex team tests out their new tower probe, and the results are amazing; the TIV team is in major ...

The 'How I Met Your Mother' gang has survived some pretty horrific holidays together -- including the epic 'Slapsgiving' episode heard round the world -- but this year's Thanksgiving is particularly jinxed. Guest star Jorge Garcia (you might remember him from a little show called 'Lost') plays the Blitz, Ted (Josh Radnor) and Marshall's (Jason Segel) old college pal who seems to be a bit cursed ...

In the grand tradition of 'Animal House' and 'Revenge of the Nerds,' TBS's latest sitcom 'Glory Daze' follows four guys in their freshmen year in college, all pledging Omega Sigma fraternity ... in 1986. Yep, totally tubular on the boob tube, dude, we're flashing back to the '80s. Joel (Kelly Blatz) is your average guy, super determined and planning on pre-med ... until he meets his dream girl. ...
