Link Tank: TV Blog Coalition Roundup for April 17-19

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 took an early look at HBO's Grey Gardens, a dramatized version of the cult 1973 documentary film, which stars Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange as Big Edie and Little Edie Beale, offered an early look at the trailer for the next Doctor Who special entitled "The Waters of Mars," and reviewed Skins: Volume 2 on DVD.

I also took a second look at NBC's new comedy Parks and Recreation, explored my love for new comedies Better Off Ted, The Mighty Boosh, and Party Down, shared news about the Pushing Daisies comic book, Joss Whedon talking about the potential fate of FOX's Dollhouse, and FOX's cancellation of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and caught up with Nel's Stephen and Helen from BBC America's Last Restaurant Standing.

All this and discussions about the latest episodes of ABC's Lost, NBC's Chuck, and BBC America's Last Restaurant Standing.

• This week, Sandie spoke with Eric Lange better known as Radzinsky on Lost about what is coming up for his character, his career, and more. (Daemon's TV)
• There really is no reason to debate if Friday Night Lights is the best show currently on television, instead after seeing the third season finale, it may be time to debate if it was the best show this decade. (Scooter McGavin's 9th Green)
• Vance seriously can't get enough of the trailers for the new FOX musical TV show Glee. (Tapeworthy)
• Jesse took issue with the tired old re-hashed formulas employed by the SNL folks on the most recent Zac Efron-hosted debacle. (TiFaux)

Link Tank: TV Blog Coalition Roundup for April 10-12

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, after thinking about a particularly shocking character death this week, I talked to former BSG and Buffy writer and current Caprica showrunner Jane Espenson and some other television industry insiders about the role of death on television today.

I had advance reviews of NBC's new comedy Parks and Recreation (and offered a Talk Back), ABC's new drama The Unusuals, NBC's latest police drama Southland, the return of Fringe on FOX (and offered a Talk Back), and ABC's new comedy Surviving Suburbia.

I also discussed the most recent episodes of ABC's Lost, NBC's Chuck, NBC's 30 Rock, BBC America's Last Restaurant Standing, and shared news about FOX's Dollhouse getting its episode order cut down to twelve (sort of) and Leonard Nimoy being cast on FOX's Fringe.

Elsewhere in the sophisticated TV-obsessed section of the blogosphere, members of the TV Blog Coalition were discussing the following items...

• Buzz got to wondering about the TV shows that are sort of the opposite of guilty pleasures, the ones you don't even like very much but can't seem to quit watching. (BuzzSugar)
• Not willing to let go of the show without a fight, Give Me My Remote dedicated the week to Chuck. We had special features, polls, soundtrack listings and viewer testimony. Did you lend your voice? Here's top hoping NBC orders a third season soon. (Give Me My Remote)
• Rescue Me was back in fine form with its fifth season premiere. And as an added bonus: an Alex P. Keaton sighting. (Scooter McGavin's 9th Green)
• In case you didn't know, Vance goes to the theatre a lot, and then blogs about it. He also likes to stalk celebrities like James McAvoy after the show. (Tapeworthy)
• Sara was all aflutter over the BBC reality show Any Dream Will Do, which is possibly the campiest thing she's ever seen. Hear that Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber? (TiFaux)
• Kate was oh-so-pleasantly surprised by Southland. (TV Filter)
• Matt didn't love the premiere of Parks and Recreation. But he won't give up on it yet! [TV Fanatic]
• This week, the TV Addict wondered if casting Leonard Nimoy in FRINGE is well, highly illogical (The TV Addict)

• Rae's sad to say goodbye to ER but she didn't think the finale was quite as perfect as others did. (RTVW)

• Marisa participated in a chat with SNL's Will Forte and Arrested Development's Mitch Hurwitz on their new animated project Sit Down Shut Up. (TiFaux)

• Matt is glad ER has ended. Because he's seen Southland, and it's great. (TV Fanatic)
