Network upfronts have been supplying us with plenty of great sneak peeks this week, including a look at ABC's Fall primetime lineup. If you've been looking at some of those titles scratching your head, no worries! We've got all the info on the network's new series, including the highly anticipated Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Rebel Wilson's series, Super Fun Night. Click through to check them out!
Season finales are upon us! As we prepare for our favorite characters to leave us for a Summer hiatus (or forever!), the networks are releasing the final glances of shows like How I Met Your Mother, Once Upon a Time, Arrow, Modern Family, and more. Click through to check out all the fun pictures, and keep checking back regularly as we update with more photos!
The Fall schedules continue to roll out this week, and following Fox and NBC's lineup announcements, ABC has unveiled its own plans. The network is completely revamping its Tuesday night lineup, showcasing four very different new shows on that night, including Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Malin Akerman/Bradley Whitford comedy Trophy Wife.
Modern Family will be sandwiched in its usual Wednesday night slot by two new shows, James Caan's baseball series Back in the Game and Rebel Wilson's new comedy Super Fun Night. The other big news is that Dancing With the Stars will now be reduced to just one night instead of two.

Isn't it about time we had another sweet time-travel romance? The trailer for UK comedy About Time has debuted, and it looks pretty darn cute. The movie stars Domhnall Gleeson (aka Bill Weasley of the Harry Potter series) as Tim, a man who discovers time traveling is in his genes. He goes back and finds love with none other than The Time Traveler's Wife herself, Rachel McAdams.
I love Bill Nighy as Tim's wise father, and Gleeson has an adorable innocence to him, but I am starting to get a little weary of seeing McAdams doing her romantic lead schtick. I will say the accompanying track, "Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men, is a nice touch. The movie opens in limited release on Nov. 1 and wide release on Nov. 8. Check out the trailer after the jump.
Tom Tykwer teams with Andy and Lana Wachowski to take on the epic task of adapting David Mitchell's sweeping novel that occurs in different times and places. The filmmakers enlist a crew of A-list actors, including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and Jim Broadbent, to play several versions (and races) of themselves. Their interweaving stories prove how the present can be affected deeply by the past, and despite its cast and how visually impressive it is, Cloud Atlas is a letdown. The DVD comes with the featurette, "A Film Like No Other."
A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III
Charlie Sheen, Bill Murray, and Jason Schwartzman collaborate with writer/director Roman Coppola for this self-absorbed turkey of a film. Sheen is Charles Swan, a graphic designer whose life falls apart when his true love (Katheryn Winnick) breaks up with him. Set in a stylized Los Angeles, the "comedy" outstays its welcome, even at a quick 84-minute run time. Aubrey Plaza, Patricia Arquette, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead also star.

Who's got a basketful of roses and is excited for this week's premiere of The Bachelorette? This girl! Desiree Hartsock may have walked away empty-handed and broken-hearted when she appeared on Sean Lowe's season of The Bachelor, but the brunette is back for more, and this time, she's the leading lady. We've got pictures of all her suitors, from the brawny to the brainy. Let's make some snap judgments, before the premiere!
Since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, indie drama Fruitvale Station has been generating a lot of positive buzz, and we've finally got a trailer to go along with the rave reviews. Michael B. Jordan stars in the true story of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old San Francisco Bay Area resident who was fatally shot by BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) police in the early morning hours of New Year's Day 2009. Even from this small clip, the tension in the film is palpable as a fight breaks out on the train headed from Oakland toward San Francisco. Octavia Spencer also stars as Oscar's mother.
In real life, Grant's tragic death was highly publicized, having been captured on multiple cell phone cameras — a detail included in the trailer. I've watched Jordan in both Friday Night Lights and Parenthood, and he's one of my favorite up-and-coming actors, so I'm excited to see his turn on the big screen, as heart-wrenching as his role may be. Fruitvale Station opens in limited release on July 12, but definitely watch the gripping trailer after the jump.
Seth Meyers had already been rumored to be next in line for the Late Night throne, and over the weekend, it was officially confirmed. Meyers will be replacing host Jimmy Fallon once Fallon takes over The Tonight Show in February 2014. Both veterans of Saturday Night Live, Meyers and Fallon have a similar background, having both served as anchors of the show's "news" segment, Weekend Update.
I've been a fan of Meyers for a while, and I think it's a terrific move on NBC's part. He's pretty well-known, and he's been SNL's head writer for eight seasons, meaning he already knows how to write for late-night television. Do you think it's a brilliant idea, or were you hoping for someone else?
On the heels of NBC's Fall lineup announcement, Fox has announced its pilot-heavy Fall schedule. Some exciting new additions to Fox's lineup include dramas Almost Human and Sleepy Hollow on Mondays. Comedies Dads and Andy Samberg's Brooklyn Nine-Nine join the Tuesday night comedy block before returning hits New Girl and The Mindy Project, as well as army comedy Enlisted in the late Fall.
Fox has a year to determine when new midseason series Gang Related, Surviving Jack, Us and Them, and Murder Police will figure into its schedule. The other big news? Fox chairman Kevin Reilly also confirmed that 24 will be back, running in a "limited series" of 12 episodes in the Summer of 2014.

Revenge's second season has come to a close with this week's two-hour season finale, which is basically Revenge: The Full-Length Movie. Seriously, there is a lot crammed into this double episode, beginning from the moment Carrion is activated and the lights go out in Manhattan. The show has been muddled this season by subplots and superfluous characters, but I appreciate how the finale closes out a few lingering story lines (turns out The Initiative isn't quite what we were led to believe . . . or is it? And — hold for dramatic pause — somebody dies! Not a dry eye in the house, as Conrad would say.
Yes, death, explosions, tears, and screaming: everything we've been missing from Revenge lately turns up in the finale. The final moments also contain a huge reveal. Sure, it's something we already know, but Jack Porter sure doesn't. To go over the biggest scandals from the last great episode of an otherwise so-so season of Revenge, just keep reading.
For the second weekend in a row, Iron Man 3 dominated the box office, adding $72.5 million to its total, which now stands at a whopping $284.9 million. New release The Great Gatsby earned second place, with an impressive $51.1 million intake. Michael Bay's Pain & Gain dropped to third, taking in just $5 million, followed by Tyler Perry Presents Peeples, which made a paltry $4.9 million in its first weekend. 42 hung in the top five with a $4.7 million haul.
NBC has announced its Fall 2013 schedule, and while The Voice will dominate a lot of the network's weekly primetime slots, several new series will be moving into the coveted Thursday-night lineup. Welcome to the Family, Sean Saves the World, and The Michael J. Fox Show will all be following Parks and Recreation on Thursday evening — a night that will now be capped off by returning family drama Parenthood. You'll also see that Community is missing from the schedule, but rest assured that it's been renewed, but NBC hasn't figured out when it will air just yet.
Midseason additions include About a Boy, an adaptation based on Nick Hornby's popular novel, which is moving into a Tuesday-night spot, followed by The Family Guide. John Malkovich's pirate series Crossbones will inhabit the Friday-night spot come Winter, and three new series will take over Sunday nights once football season ends.
