History Channel’s ‘Texas Rising’ May Have Little to Do With History

Keith Girard
Bill Paxton is featured in a new trailer for the History Channel’s eight-part miniseries “Texas Rising.” The show, however, looks like it has more to do with entertainment and less to do with, you know… actual history. The show is about Texas’s revolt against Mexican rule in the 1800s. Joining Paxton, who plays Texas hero Sam Houston, are Olivier Martinez, Chad Michael Murray, Brendan Fraser, Trevor Donovan, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Ray Liotta....

Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow Spoof Games Shows With ‘Curse Off’ (watch!)

Keith Girard
Jennifer Aniston was in full-on “Horrible Bosses” mode when she squared off against former “Friends” star Lisa Kudrow in Jimmy Kimmel’s most foul-mouthed competition in America, otherwise known as “Celebrity Curse-Off.” Aniston is making the talk show rounds to promote her latest movie “Horrible Bosses 2.” Kudrow has a new show on HBO. The rules of the game are fairly simple. Each contestant must think of a curse that ABC censors will bleep. If they let the expression pass without a bleep, it’s not a curse and the game is over....

Jason Isaacs Stars in 'Awake,' TV's Hot New Sci-Fi Drama

Winchester
Sci-fi devotees have watched boatloads of shows come and go on the small screen. But when “Awake” debuted several weeks back on NBC, I decided to give it a shot. Shows like “Millennium,” “The Event,” “Jericho,” “Torchwood,” “Fast Forward,” The Nine” and “Heroes,” all started strong, but were soon abandoned by the networks that aired them, often with plots dangling. Let’s hope, the story is different with “Awake.”...

Mad Men Debut, Commercial Breaks Aside, Shines

Winchester
After watching the "Mad Men" premiere, I thought about it all night. I got up the next day, and I was still thinking about it. Here's what grabbed me the most about "One Little Kiss," the first episode in Season Five of the show's much anticipated return. I did not like the many, many commercials. By the second or third break, I was already counting the actual time the story played on screen and it was something like 10 minutes, compared with the first four seasons without commercials....

Game of Thrones: New Trailer Promises Winter of War (watch!)

TheImproper
Machiavellian bluster highlights the latest trailer for HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” as cold as the winter’s rising storms. “The war of five kings they’re calling it. Nothing matters but how it ends,” a voice-over intones. Indeed, the trailer suggests that all hell will break loose when Season 2 debuts on April 1. “The time to strike is now,” says Daenerys “Dany” Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). “The Starks fight the Lannisters and the Baratheons fight each other.”...

Jerry Seinfeld Does Five Hilarious Super Bowl Ads (watch!)

TheImproper
Jerry Seinfeld has always liked to work the room, and he takes on some tough audiences in an Acura commercial that will air during the Super Bowl on Feb. 5. The comedian will do almost anything to get the new NSX. Seinfeld, of course, is a television legend for his eponymous sit-com, which aired for almost 10 years from 1989 to 1998. Since then, he’s flown largely under the radar, aside from a brief stint on the show “Marriage Counselor.”...
