I'll admit that I have a problem: I have a weakness for David E. Kelley's melodramatic brand of drama... no matter how ridiculous it may be. I sat through all of Ally McBeal (against my better judgment, mostly), adored The Practice and was probably the one person who sat through the short-lived The Wedding Bells (even though it nearly physically killed me). I even watched Harry's Law far longer than I should have (though not after they stopped selling shoes at her law firm). But even though I also have a fondness for soapy medical dramas, this new TNT series is going to be a quite the challenge to watch on a regular basis without a heavy dose of Red Bull.

Law & Order: Los Angeles returns next week, with two very familiar faces in new roles. Alfred Molina's D.D.A. Ricardo Morales will be taking a demotion to rejoin the police force, and New York A.D.A. Connie Rubirosa (Alana De La Garza) will be moving to L.A. On the eve of this rejiggered procedural's second go-round, we talked to the two of them about their new jobs, and what's in store for the new season.

Chuck gets a badass mom in the form of Linda Hamilton, plus tons of TV news about people hailing from across the pond, including Alfred Molina, Liam Neeson, John Oliver, and the Duchess of York. Yeah, it's that kind of news day...

It was a lackluster year for musicals and a great year for plays, but, alas, the gay prom must go on. Last night's televised Tonys event (yes, they still televise the Tonys) was star-studded, upset-filled and full of enormous and pretentious egos. Host Sean Hayes was funny for the most part, and overall it was a fabulous way to spend a Sunday evening. But there were lowlights, of course. Read on as I list the best and worst parts of the show.
