Chord Overstreet Returning to ‘Glee’

Chord Overstreet

It didn’t take too long for Chord Overstreet to make his way back to New Directions.

TVLine is reporting that Chord Overstreet is finalizing a deal (which is “definitely” going to close, according to the report) to return to Glee after a very big exit from the show. Producers turned down his series regular option back in July, and Overstreet declined to continue his recurring role on the show. A change of heart seems to have struck Overstreet, who played a fan-favorite role as the Trouty-mouthed Sam Evans on Fox’s hit show. He said that the exit would help him focus on other projects, like film and a music career, but he’s now seemingly put that on the back-burner for now.

Emmy Predictions: Drama

It’s that time of year again! THE EMMYS! It’s the most important day in television and here at JuniorTV. Although many of the categories won’t go in my favor (as you’ll see below), I’m still rooting for many people and their respective shows. Besides, there has to be a shocking win somewhere this year, right? (Remember Kyra Sedgwick last year?) So today, a day before the ceremony(!), here are my predictions on who will win, and who should win for the major drama categories, including Best Drama and the Best Acting categories for in drama.:

Outstanding Drama Series
Boardwalk Empire (HBO)
Dexter (Showtime)
Friday Night Lights (Direct TV)
Game of Thrones (HBO)
The Good Wife (CBS)
Mad Men (AMC)

WHO WILL WIN: Boardwalk Empire (HBO)

This show has every single ingredient for Emmy glory: A period drama with a seemingly unending but thrilling storyline with characters that keep viewers hooked. AMC’s Mad Men is getting it’s Drama Emmy streak taken away and there’s nothing it can do about it.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Friday Night Lights (DirecTV)

My favorite drama ever ends it’s five season run and I’m so disappointed that it hasn’t won a single Primetime Emmy throughout it’s run, and that’s just criminal on the Academy’s part.

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series
Steve Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire (HBO)
Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights (Direct TV)
Michael C. Hall, Dexter (Showtime)
Jon Hamm, Mad Men (AMC)
Hugh Laurie, House (FOX)
Timothy Olyphant, Justified (FX)

WHO WILL WIN: Steve Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire

This man is the heart of this show, and his performance already scored him a SAG Award for Best Actor in a Drama. I have almost no doubt in my mind that he will win, but I would be glad if he lost to a certain someone.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights

This is that certain someone. For five seasons, he lead a now legendary role as Coach Eric Taylor in one of the most critically-acclaimed shows of all-time. Its about time that he gets one, and it’s the Academy’s last chance to redeem themselves, but they wont.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in A Drama Series
Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
Josh Charles, The Good Wife
Alan Cumming, The Good Wife
Walton Goggins, Justified
John Slattery, Mad Men
Andre Braugher, Men of a Certain Age

WHO WILL WIN: Walton Goggins, Justified

I’m so glad that FX’s ‘Justified’ will finally get the recognition it deserves tonight, as Goggins’ performance was the best of the year for actors in the supporting role. See why I think so below.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Walton Goggins, Justified

His character is sinister but also has much emotion. He helps his enemy, but also wants to destroy him, and that makes him one of the most versatile characters on TV.

Outstanding Lead Actress in A Drama Series

Kathy Bates, Harry’s Law
Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights
Mireille Enos, The Killing
Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: SVU
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men

WHO WILL WIN: Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife

Last year, many thought her award was robbed by Kyra Sedgwick, but this year, she is invincible.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights

Although not a leading lady like Margulies, Britton has had incredibly important storyline moments throughout Friday Night Lights’ five season run, and the award is long overdue.

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series
Kelly Macdonald, Boardwalk Empire
Archie Panjabi, The Good Wife
Christine Baranski, The Good Wife
Margo Martindale, Justified
Michelle Forbes, The Killing
Christina Hendricks, Mad Men

WHO WILL WIN:Margo Martindale, Justified

Her performance as the wicked Mags Bennett is historic, portraying one of the most evil characters on television. Martindale has this one locked.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Margo Martindle, Justified

It’s nearly impossible for Emmy voters not unanimously vote in her favor to win. I hope she has her speech ready.

That’s all for now! Come back soon to see who I think will win on the Comedy side–see you then! And don’t forget: The 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards airs this Sunday, September 18 on FOX, hosted by Jane Lynch!

The 5 Best New Shows of the Summer

It’s been a stale and uneventful Fall season, with no new runaway hits hitting the schedule except NBC’s midseason musical hit The Voice. The networks also didn’t plan well with their summer schedule. It seems as if they’re taking a break this summer from all the madness, and leaving the competition to cable channels, which have been gaining ground significantly during the summer. Last year, USA was the winner of the summer, with then-freshman action series Covert Affairs helping fuel an already great lineup even further, averaging over 6 million viewers, an astonishing number for cable. TNT was close behind, landing in second for total-day viewers and had the highest-rated show (The Closer) and highest-rated new show (Rizzoli & Isles) last year.

All of the cable shows listed above are returning this summer, so don’t worry. But, if you’re looking for a new show to get addicted to, you’re in luck. A slew of new shows are going to premiere in the coming weeks, and I have the top 5 that you should watch. I looked all over the place and got all the new shows of the Summer, and I quickly started to sift through which where the best. I decided to choose only 5 for the summer, and had to cut some very promising shows, but kept the best in hand. Something that isn’t as shocking anymore is that only 1 broadcast show made the list; the rest were on cable. Also, most of them are scripted, with only 1 being a reality show. Are you ready to see the top 5? Here it is!

Note: The Top 5 will display in a countdown format, with the fifth best show appearing first and the best appearing at the bottom of the post.

5. Love In the Wild (NBC)

I was very cautious about putting this show in the top 5, mainly because it looks like it will lack quality, but which reality show does these days? This show is pretty self-explanatory: People are trying to find love in the wildest of scenarios, which for them happens to be in the jungles of Costa Rica. The promos for the show are giving it a goofy look to it, with many of the singles falling, slipping, and crashing their way to love. I still don’t know if I’ll like the show, but I will watch the first episode and see how similar it is to NBC’s previous jungle disaster I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! Let’s hope it’s not. In any way.

4. Suits (USA Network)

This show is right up USA’s alley, and I’m very excited about it. A lawyer named Harvey Specter (played by Gabriel Macht) looks for a partner and he finds the best of the best, a guy named Mike Ross (played by Patrick J. Adams) but there’s one thing: The guy hasn’t gone to law school and never took the bar exam. Nonetheless, the guy is an academic genius, sucking up books like it’s drinking water. He also has incredible memory, and even though he isn’t certified, Ross knows everything there is to know about law. Count me in!

3. The Glee Project (Oxygen)

In what will be my first foray into the female-skewing network, the basic cable channel hopes to get all demographics (preferably adults 18-49 and kids 12-17) to watch their most high-profile show ever, based spinning-off of Fox’s pop culture phenomenon, Glee. The Glee Project is a reality competition series that aims to look for the next potential star of Fox’s hit musical/comedy. Just like any other competition, members will get eliminated and the last Gleek standing will get a guaranteed seven-episode stint on Glee and if they do well in those seven eps, who knows? They could also become a series regular. Get ready for sing-alongs and drama, just like Glee! Except this is a competition and it happens to air in the Summer.

2. Teen Wolf (MTV)

This striking new series is getting comparisons to The Vampire Diaries for all the good reasons. Scott (played by Tyler Posey) is a high school Sophomore that’s struggling like most to be popular and be in some kind of sport, but one day, that all changes. Scott gets bitten by a wolf in the woods one day and as he recovers, he notices that he isn’t the same as he was before. Before you know it, he realizes he’s a werewolf—oh, and he happens to be a teen. It’s bloody, gritty, and just what I want to see during the summer.

 1. Wilfred (FX)

Have you ever come across something so fresh, so original that it instantly becomes a must-see for you? When was the last time you discovered a revolutionary show? For me, it was two years ago, when Modern Family made its way to ABC’s lineup. Of all networks, FX is the channel to grab the next. Wilfred is a dark comedy about a man named Ryan (played by Elijah Wood) who is on the verge of suicide when an unlikely task is presented to him: dogsitting. The most shocking part of this is that when he sees the dog, he sees a man dressed in a big dog suit and can talk—but the rest of the world sees him as what he rightfully is: a dog. Not enticing yet? Watch the trailers, you’ll get hooked just off of that.

Special Edition Most Wanted: The Oprah Finale

This is the most important Most Wanted List to date, and you know why. This week, something historic will happen. So historic, it will change television and media overall forever. Daytime will never be the same again without her, and this week, she takes the top spot by a mile. More details below, but we also will see a plethora of finales and premieres this week. So large, in fact, that I decided to double the amount of things that are Most Wanted this week to 10. How’s that for a special edition?! The list is down below:

1. The Oprah Winfrey Show – Series Finale

It’s the end of an era. After almost 5,000 shows and millions of lives changed, Oprah is saying goodbye to her daily talk show on Wednesday and with it comes sadness for her dedicated fans (me included.) For the past 4 years, which have been the most important for me growing up (from 12 to now 16,) I have watched Oprah and if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t even be remotely interested in the television world. She set an example of how the medium of television is so powerful and how far you can go in this world. In this judgmental world, Oprah was my only escaping alternate dimension where I learned to be an open-minded person, and I owe any humility I have to her. My absolute favorite moment on the Oprah show was when she reunited Clemantine and Claire Wamariya with their family after they were torn apart from the Rwandan genocide. It gives me chills every time I watch that episode, and I well definitely never forget it. Make sure you watch these final three shows! Check your local listings if you don’t already know when Oprah airs in your area. Especially watch the final Oprah Winfrey Show this Wednesday.

2. American Idol

For American Idol, a completely revamped judge panel and format worked for the better, and everyone is calling it a comeback. This season has started with hundreds of thousands of contestants, and it all comes down to the final two: Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina. The youngest final two ever are sure to bring a large audience this Wednesday, and a record number of votes. In recent seasons, the winners haven’t made it big. But this year the winner is sure to make a splash on the charts, if America gets it right, which I think will happen this year.

3. The Hangover Part II

Two years after the record-breaking comedy made it’s way to theaters, the guys are doing it again. This time it’s Stu, and you know it’s going to be crazy when you see a facial tattoo freshly imprinted around Stu’s eye. Problem is, that could stop the movie from coming out. Hopefully it won’t, but who knows what might happen at today’s hearing in Missouri. If the plaintiffs request for an injunction is denied, everything should be fine for The Hangover’s release this Friday.

4. Modern Family Season Finale

Another hilarious season ends with the family trying to surprise Jay with a birthday party, Phil meets an enemy from college, and Cam gets in some trouble at a bakery. You know, the typical craziness? The producers must have something special in store for this Wednesday’s finale, and you should definitely tune in.

5. Glee Season Finale

The most expensive Glee episode to-date airs tonight, and it happens to be the finale episode. New Directions makes it’s way to the New York City to make a splash at the nationals which are being held in the city. Will they win? And how is all the drama from this past season going to end? Tune in to find out!

6. The Middle Season Finale

The stellar second season ends with uncertainty that that Brick may be held back. Frankie does all she can to help Brick and keep the family from going over the edge as usual. Expect the ever-present craziness from Sue and Axl to also be a main point in this sweet and quirky comedy starring Patricia Heaton.

7. The Event Series Finale

A bumpy freshman run was all The Event got, and the disappointing show is ending tonight with an uncertain future. Will ‘The Event’ happen? If it does, when will it happen? And most of all: WHAT THE HELL IS THE EVENT?!

8. Kung Fu Panda 2

This hilarious animated comedy is back and will hopefully be better than the already great original. Word is that DreamWorks wants to make this a 6-Picture adventure. They’ll have to keep it fresh if they want to stretch it out that long. Either way, early reviews are overwhelmingly positive, and this movie’s sure to earn big bucks this Thursday.

9. Dancing With the Stars Finale

I truly thought that Kirstie Alley was going to get kicked-off in the opening week, and now she’s in the final two. Boy was I wrong! Alley and Chelsea Kane will dance all the way to the mirror ball trophy this Tuesday, which is probably very dusty right about now.

10. Chelsea Lately

Even with all these shows and movies, this hilarious late-night show has crept it’s way back into the list with a great week of guests. Tonight, American Idol Judge Randy Jackson makes his way on the show for what I believe will be the first time. You think that’s big? Wait later in the week for even more big TV and movie stars from shows like Glee and movies like The Hangover!

Wow! Isn’t it packed?! This is going o be one hell of a week! Here’s another reminder to make sure you watch the Oprah Finale this Wednesday Come back next week for an all-new Most Wanted List!

Fox Fall TV Schedule

Fox introduced it’s 2011-2012 schedule to advertisers at their upfront presentation this morning in New York City. With it comes some surprises, which include its scheduling of the JJ Abrams mystery drama ‘Alcatraz,’ which has been held until midseason. Also, the high-profile epic ‘Terra Nova’ has been put on the increasingly competitive Monday time-slot of 8 PM, which means ‘House’ will move to 9 PM during the fall (but will move back to 8 PM during midseason.) For Tuesday nights, only one new show will appear on that time-slot, and that is the half hour comedy, ‘The New Girl,’ which will air right after Fox’s hit musical/comedy, ‘Glee.’ The X-Factor will dart out with a bang, as Fox strives to become #1 in reality competition shows, placing it on Wednesdays and Thursdays, airing for an hour and an hour and a half, respectively.

Like on NBC’s post, I’ll post a graphical schedule with all the new shows, provided by Entertainment Weekly. (Thanks again, EW!)

TV News: As We Say Hello to ‘The Voice,’ We Say Goodbye to ‘Hellcats’

What a great night it was on Tuesday evening, as ‘The Voice’ sang it’s way up to the top, beating [and possibly robbing viewers from] Glee, as the NBC competition series sets the best series premiere of the season, with 11.8 million viewers, and a huge 5.1 rating among adults 18-49. Wow. The folks over at NBC must be partying hard.

‘The Voice’ set the highest series premiere of the season, if you exclude the ‘Undercover Boss’ premiere which had the Super Bowl as it’s lead in; compared to ‘The Voice’ which actually had a lower rated show as a lead-in (‘The Biggest Loser,) and still soared to such high numbers. How good or bad was the show? It was good. Very good. Great, actually. I saw American Idol for 3 seasons, and tuned out right after season 7 premiered. The talent just wasn’t as good anymore. The Voice at least has the guarantee that there won’t be a full-blown train wreck, which could be both a good thing and a bad thing. Either way, the premiere was fantastic. I will come back next week to see another round of blind auditions, and so should you. An encore of last night’s premiere airs tonight at 9 P.M. EST on NBC.

The outlook is rather bleak on The CW, with the network having one of the worst (if not the worst) night with original shows this season. ‘One Tree Hill’ was flat with last week with a 0.7 rating with adults 18-49, and had 1.54 million viewers. It got worse, a lot worse over the course of the night. ‘Hellcats’ dived even further to a series low 0.4 rating (the worst for a scripted drama this season) and just over a million viewers (1.04) which is horrible, even for The CW. I can pretty much declare that ‘Hellcats’ isn’t returning for a second season. It’s doubtful that it will rebound high enough so late in the season, and it’s been week after week that ‘Hellcats’ has set new lows. So don’t expect Hellcats to come back next season, and if you’re a fan, enjoy it while you can.

So you’re up to date! For now…

Most Wanted: The Royal Wedding Takes Over!

This week on the list, it’s a rare event, it happens about once in a generation, and well, it has to be #1! Also, a competitor to Idol?! Yes, and it’s all on this week’s Most Wanted List, down below!

1. The Royal Wedding

This will be my first (if I’m awake to see it,) and I’m very excited. William and Kate say their vows in front of a worldwide audience in the wedding of the century, and the worldwide press can’t stop talking about it! Coverage of the wedding will start at varying times, but will be at a stressful time for Americans that want to see it. The wedding is scheduled to start at around 5 A.M. Eastern time, and the major networks are beginning coverage at 4 A.M. On top of that, the networks will have coverage of the wedding all day (and weekend) long. Wow.

2. Michael Scott Leaving ‘The Office’

I’ve been watching this show since the week before DeAngelo Vickers came by Dunder Mifflin, and I’ll admit it: I was missing out on A LOT! Unfortunately, I have only been able to see a couple of episodes with the hilarious Steve Carell and now he’s leaving the show. Just my luck. But besides my idiotic ways, this is definitely going to be a watershed moment for the show, and if you’ve ever see The Office (even a bit of one episode), you’ll want to see this! Laughing and crying is a weird combination, but I guarantee you that die-hard fans of the show will experience both simultaneously.

3. NBC’s The Voice

The closest that NBC has had as a competitor to Fox’s smash hit ‘American Idol’ is their Glee-inspired competition series ‘The Sing-Off.’ Now they’re going all the way with a full-blown singing competition, and it looks like they actually have a shot at giving ‘American Idol’ a run for their money. ‘The Voice,’ premiering tomorrow on NBC, has 4 coaches, which are also big time (and current) musical artists: Adam Levine, Cee-Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton. They have their backs turned back while the artists sing, and they tap a button when they want to work with them to help win the competition. Yes, I’m going to watch, and so should you.

4. Glee’s Supersized Gaga Episode

As we’re approaching the heavily-hyped Prom episode, more tensions rise at McKinley High. Quinn and Lauren (who would’ve thought) will apparently fight for the title of Prom Queen, all while the cast perform Lady Gaga’s smash hit ‘Born This Way.’ I’m actually more excited to see a Quinn/Lauren fight than anything else, who’s with me?

5. Law & Order: Criminal Intent Final Season Premiere

The least popular of the Law & Order Franchise (L&O LA is catching up), Criminal Intent returns for a final season, and Detective Goren starts off in a very weird note—he leans over (too close for comfort) and smells a suspect during an interrogation. Hmmm….

That’s a wrap! Come back next week for a freshly new and funny (hint!) Most Wanted List!

Most Wanted List: Water for Elephants Premieres!

This week, the film adaptation of a book I had on last weeks list will top this week’s list. Also, a show is returning from a very long break, and it’s performing a song that I’ve been waiting to hear for months! That and more on this weeks Most Wanted List down below:

1. Water For Elephants

Last week was the book, this week is the film. Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon in this romantic drama filled with action, suspense, and a lot of circus animals. The hype for the movie has been overwhelming; did you see the premiere this past weekend? Wow.

2. Glee Returns with Adele’s ‘Turning Tables’

Glee returns after what seems like the longest hiatus ever, and it’s coming with a bang. Gwyneth Paltrow returns as Holly Holiday becomes the first character to perform an Adele song for the show. Gwyneth (or Holly) will sing ‘Turning Tables’ on Tuesday night, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it tops iTunes the following day, while also boosting the original song’s sales.

3. Diddy-fied Hawaii Five-0

I haven’t tuned into this show for a while and I think it’s time to get back to this great drama. You can always count on this show when you need an easy show to watch and be just as entertained as if you were watching a complicated procedural. In tonight’s episode, Diddy guest stars as a detective from New York on the verge of doing something crazy to a crime family. Should be good!

4. Spring Break!

It’s about time. For me, I have 5 days off and I’m ready to chill and relax, aren’t you?

5. Friday Night Lights

Yes, it topped the charts last week, and it’s still on the list this week, why? Because it’s AMAZING. Last week’s episode blew me away, and this week’s episode will do the same. Why not watch the show and put it on the list? It’s just getting started, and it’s just getting better.

That’s a wrap! Come back next week for a freshly-new Most Wanted List!

The Most Wanted List: Glee’s Thriller Super Bowl Episode!

1. Glee and It’s Super Bowl Episode

Fox took a good risk in placing an already successful show and placing it on the golden spot of the year, the spot right after the Super Bowl. Glee returns for the first time since winter break with CBS News Anchor and former Today host Katie Couric giving an interview to Sue Sylvester after Sue gets Katie’s attention by (SPOILER ALERT!) putting Brittany in a human cannon! Glee’s Super Bowl episode will also have the legendary performance of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” it will definitely make television history and I can’t wait!

2. Super Bowl XLV

The game itself may not be so enticing, but the commercials between the broadcast are solid, and that alone is good enough to tune in. Fox already sold all of the ad spots for the game and it reportedly costs $3 million for a 30 second spot. The team names are out there: Steelers/Packers – who will win? You’ll have to watch this Super Bowl Sunday.

3. The King’s Speech

I haven’t seen the film entirely, but the scenes that I have see have been absolutely fantastic, and I’m not surprised that it won for Best Picture at the SAG Awards. The box office numbers have been growing week-to-week (which is a rare trend) and it received the most Oscar nominations this year. The movie is now being considered a frontrunner in the Oscar race, and Colin Firth is being praised for the incredible performance of King George VI and is a frontrunner for the Best Actor. I cannot wait to finish this film.

4. Kid Cudi’s Exciting Announcement!

Kid Cudi is following Lil’ Wayne’s footsteps by announcing a rock album. It is going to be his first studio album after the Man on The Moon records that he has released, which shot him to superstardom. The rock album is going to be called Wizard and is expected to be released this Summer, and Cudi definitely has an advantage over Wayne: he has a way better voice. Let’s hope that the auto-tune is kept at a minimum or hopefully none.

5. Hailee Steinfeld

It’s rare to see young actresses get Oscar nominations, but this girl is 14! And she was 13 when shooting True Grit, becoming one of the youngest Oscar nominees ever. She started her career by getting the part in a Kmart commercial, now her performance in True Grit has been called one of the best supporting performances of the year, and she’s just getting started. She hasn’t gotten in any projects since True Grit, but after this Oscar nod, I think that’s going to change.

That’s a wrap! Make sure you come back next week for a freshly new Most Wanted List! By the way, I will be watching the rest of The Kings Speech, and will post my thoughts on my blog when I make my prediction post for the Oscars.
