The Immortal Kevin Fitzpatrick was born and raised in New York City, and that doesn't make sense. Kevin wears many hats, including actor, editor, and writer, but never yellow. The best things in life are Back to the Future, beets, Firefly and The Venture Bros. When not picking apart the minutia of pop culture in film and TV, Kevin can usually be found RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

Discovery Cancels ‘American Guns’ After Sandy Hook Massacre
Just days after the terrible tragedy of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, the country, and even the world at large, faces an undeniable need to re-examine the role of gun control on the world stage. As with numerous tragedies in the past, much of the focus shifts to violence in media as depicted across film and television, which today faces one of its first casualties. Discovery has opte
History Developing ‘Hatfields & McCoy’s Reality Series?
These days, one of the surest ways to capitalize on an original blockbuster success is to develop a reality series inspired by its premise. We saw an example earlier this week with The CW putting into development a reality series with a striking similarity to 'The Hunger Games,' though this may be the most surprising example to date. Based on the runaway award-winning success of History's 'Hatfiel
ABC Awards ‘Nashville’ Full Season Order, Ups Scripts For Others
Whoever said America's country music kick didn't have staying power? While we wait for ABC to shore up its big-ticket freshman dramas 'Last Resort' and '666 Park Avenue,' the network has gone ahead with upping country drama sensation 'Nashville' to a full-season order. Meanwhile, the network has offered an additional display of faith in Tim Allen's 'Last Man Standing,' and even rookie Reba McEnt
‘Political Animals’ Gets Axed Over at USA, Sort Of
It's been something of an up and down week for USA, which has offered renewals and scheduling for its flagship series 'Burn Notice,' Suits,' 'White Collar' and even 'Necessary Roughness,' while cancelling 'Common Law' and sophomore courtroom drama 'Fairly Legal.' The latest ax to fall on the network is Sigourney Weaver's highly-acclaimed but poorly-rated Washington D.C. drama 'Political Animals,'
‘Mythbusters’ to Do ‘Breaking Bad’ Episode with Aaron Paul and Vince Gilligan: Yeah Science!
Yeah, Mr. Savage! Yeah, Mr. Hyneman! It what will surely turn out to be the news of the week (discounting that whole Disney 'Star Wars' thing), it seems that the science of 'Breaking Bad' will finally be put to the test, as 'Mythbusters' is set to tackle the AMC meth drama series in an upcoming episode. Series creator Vince Gilligan and star Aaron Paul will even take part in the episode, but wh
Is ‘How I Met Your Mother’ Creators’ FOX Sitcom ‘The Goodwin Games’ Already in Trouble?
It's astounding to think that nearly a quarter of the way through the current season of 'How I Met Your Mother,' we still don't know if CBS will strike a deal that prevents it from being the last year for Ted, Robin, Barney Marshall and Lily. Still, 'HIMYM' creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas might have more on their plate to worry about, as FOX has just drastically cut the initial order for th
Disney Channel Plots ‘Boy Meets World’ Sequel Series ‘Girl Meets World,’ Who’s Returning?
You know, it's been a long and strange week. While we've tried to wrap our heads around the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, and even the $4.05 billion sale of 'Star Wars' to Disney with plans for a seventh installment, about the last thing we can wrap our heads around is a sequel series to a beloved '90s sitcom. And yet here we are, grasping the notion of a 'Boy Meets World' sequel series, title
’30 Rock’ to Air Wednesday, Cutting ‘Animal Practice’ Even Shorter
It's safe to say that Hurricane Sandy caused chaos for a lot more than TV, but even those in affected areas with power may have noticed that the network airings were severely impacted by all the news coverage. Most pushed fresh episodes of their series toward another week, though '30 Rock' it seems just couldn't wait. The soon-to-end NBC comedy will move to Wednesday this week in order to better t
NBC Releases Full Mid-Season Schedule, Who’s Returning?
Just minutes ago we heard the glorious news that 'Community' would finally get its long-awaited return on Thursday, February 7, taking over for '30 Rock' after its final season run. But what else of NBC's mid-season line-up? What new series will premiere, and when will returning favorites like 'Smash' or 'Revolution' pick up again? Head inside for all the details on NBC's initial 2013 line-up,
Bravo Developing Coke vs. Pepsi Scripted TV Series
For ages now, the ancient battle between Coca-Cola and Pepsi has raged on across countless battlefields, every advantage begetting yet another defeat, as the corporations strive for soft drink victory. For many, this war has raged on silently, its frenzied carnage confined to a supermarket shelf, but isn't it time we see the drama play out on the screen? Bravo certainly thinks so, crafting yet ano
