Grant Show on Private Practice and the Melrose Place Reboot
Grant Show is one of those actors who's been a part of my life ever since I can remember having crushes. The Beverly Hills, 90210 episode where he waltzed in as Kelly Taylor's love interest/carpenter is clear as day to me, and it's also what launched the show's steamer, nuttier '90s spinoff, Melrose Place.
Well, the '90s moved on, and so did Show.

Buzz In: What Summer TV Shows Are You Still Watching?
It's almost Labor Day weekend, and you know what that means! No, not the last of beach weather or the beginning of a new school year — Fall TV is almost back! I'm beyond thrilled to get back into the worlds of my favorite shows, whether it's the juicy salaciousness of Gossip Girl, the dramatics of Grey's Anatomy, or the deadpan hilarity of The Office.

CBS Boss Talks Vampires, Swingers, and CSI Sans Petersen
Nina Tassler was the third network executive of the week to take the stage at the TCA press tour today, and she shed some light on the departure of Moonlight, the future of Swingtown, and what CSI will look like sans William Petersen. Some highlights:
- To help fill the hole on CSI left by Petersen's departure later this season, Tassler said the producers plan to introduce a new character with "an interesting genetic profile" that is comparable to that found in many serial killers. His character is on something of a journey of self-discovery, she said.

What Will You Watch on TV Tonight?
As Summer TV nights go, this one is actually relatively big. Two new shows — Fear Itself and Swingtown — are premiering, while an established Summer favorite — So You Think You Can Dance — reveals its top 20 contestants. Plus, there's the start of the NBA finals and the end of Step It Up and Dance.
Sneak Peek: Swingtown's Premiere Episode
You know, I really want to like CBS' Swingtown, which premieres tonight at 10 p.m. I didn't make it one of my Top Ten Reasons to Keep Your TV On This Summer for nothing. But, unfortunately, the network's promo department doesn't seem to be doing the show many favors.
First Look: Swingtown on CBS
At last year's upfronts, I was surprised to see CBS attempting to step out of its crime-procedural-and-laugh-track- comedy box with a couple of shows that sounded distinctly different from anything the network had done in a while. The first was Viva Laughlin and, well, we know how that turned out. The other was Swingtown, set in the socially (and sexually) revolutionary '70s.
