Well, that was quick!

The Walking Dead has (quite admirably) avoided a lot of speculation and awkwardness by almost immediately replacing their showrunner Frank Darabont after he stepped down yesterday. AMC went the hiring within route, making writer-executive producer Glen Mazzara the showrunner for Season Two. They are apparently still discussing Darabont's involvement with the show. This is all good news for fans -- it looks like they are determined to keep the tone of the show somewhat the same.

BBC America has announced their first original scripted series, Copper. I worship all scripted BBC shows, so hopefully this will be of the same quality but -- funny story -- the show begins filming this fall...in Toronto. Come on!

Psych is spoofing The Bachelorette this upcoming season. Lindsay Sloane has already been cast as the "Bachelorette," but in my dreams the role went to Chris Colfer. Lindsay Sloane doesn't know what it's like to cry during every single episode of a TV show, but Chris Colfer -- just like every single real Bachelorette -- does.

The ALMA Award nominees have been announced. The full list is at the link, and worth checking out -- there are some really exciting ones in there. (Aubrey Plaza! Oscar Nuñez! Naya Rivera!)

Greg Grunberg just can't catch a break lately -- A&E has passed on the pilot he was starring in, title Big Mike. (They weren't dancing around anything with that title, were they?) No official decision has been made just yet on the other pilot A&E was looking at, titled Longmire.

A new Tales From the Crypt reboot is in the works. Not sure how much I trust Andrew Cosby with the material (he's the co-creator of Eureka as well), but we'll see...

Greg Grunberg needs to stop tying to "star" in things. He's a supporting player.

Of course I like your web site, but you have to check the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very silly to inform you. However I will certainly come again again!
