Squee! It’s…

Squee! It’s Audrey Wasilewski tonight on Bones! In addition to having seen Wasilewski on fare as wide-ranging as Big Love, Mad Men, Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies (make a wish!), Gilmore Girls, Wonderfalls, Friends, and The Bernie Mac Show (wow), you’ve almost certainly heard her, as she’s an accomplished voice actor who’s done work on animation [...]

Squee! It’s…

Ooh, double squee tonight. The brilliant William H. Macy returns to ER in their continuing self-congratulatory parade of former stars (eh, they survived 15  years–let ‘em have their parade.

The end of Pushing Daisies (as [...]

Squee! It’s…

Squee! It’s George Michael on Eli Stone tonight. No, really–I know they’ve been using his songs (even naming the episodes after them) and he’s shown up in little cameos, but he’s actually a key character in tonight’s episode, unfortunately titled “I Want Your Sex” (oh, dear–didn’t Mr. Michael earn a pass on that after his [...]
