Before I post my (glowing) review of FX's new drama series Terriers, starring Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James, I thought I'd plug my latest feature over at The Daily Beast.Head over to The Daily Beast to read "The Shield Creator Shawn Ryan's New Show, Terriers," in which I talk to Shawn Ryan about Terriers--created by Ted Griffin--and Ryan's upcoming FOX midseason drama Ride-Along (one of the very best of the season) and discuss the thematic links with The Shield, which transformed FX into a major player in the original programming game and transformed cable as a result.Be sure to head to the comments section to discuss the legacy of The Shield and whether you'll be tuning in to Terriers tonight. (You really should be: it's hands-down one of the best new shows of the year.)

Channel Surfing: Psych Has a Twin Peaks
Experience, HBO Orders Apatow/Dunham Pilot, SNL, Modern Family Casts Cam's Mom, and More

post from Televisionary on 08 September 2010 11:09:38 AM. © Televisionary

Welcome to your Wednesday morning television briefing.I'm not even a Psych fan and this made me blissfully happy. Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello is reporting that USA's Psych is staging a Twin Peaks-inspired episode that will also feature original cast members Sheryl Lee, Sherilyn Fenn, Dana Ashbrook, Catherine Coulson, Ray Wise, Lenny Von Dohlen, and Robyn Lively. Um, yes please. The episode, co-written by series star James Roday, will air sometime this fall and will revolve around "a quirky Northern California town that has been rocked by the death of a high school student." Sound familiar? Coulson will even play a "mysterious Woman with Wood," a tongue-in-cheek take on her Log Lady from Twin Peaks. Sign me up. (Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello Files)Deadline's Nellie Andreeva is reporting that HBO has given a pilot order to an untitled comedy written/directed by 24-year-old Lena Dunham (Tiny Furniture) and executive produced by Judd Apatow and Jenni Konner. Project, which will also star Dunham, revolves around "the assorted humiliations and rare triumphs of a group of girls in their early 20's" and will feature autobiographical elements from Dunham's own life. (Deadline)Entertainment Weekly's Lynette Rice is reporting that Parks and Recreation leading lady Amy Poehler will host the season premiere of Saturday Night Live on September 25th, with Katy Perry serving as musical guest. Season 36 has added four new players to the mix, including Taran Killam, Paul...

Filed under: TV News, Stay Tuned

It's heartening to hear that Judd Apatow, the creator of the cult classics 'Freaks and Geeks' and "Undeclared," is returning to TV.

But to learn that Apatow, who went on to a spectacularly successful film career after leaving TV, is returning with a project about women?

Now that's intriguing.

Check Out the New 'Walking Dead' Clips

Filed under: TV Previews, TV News

New clips released for AMC's adaptation of Robert Kirkman's 'The Walking Dead'

The zombie hordes are amassing. A couple of months before the Halloween premiere date, AMC has released three new clips from 'The Walking Dead,' a new series based on the superb Robert Kirkman graphic novels from Image Comics.

The clips were posted Monday on ComicsAlliance.com, and vary in length -- "Rick's Gun" is just six seconds, "Darkness" 16 seconds and "Hospital Corridor" a minute and five seconds. Between the trailer, released last month and the new clips, the show has been taking a lot of its imagery straight from the book, although writer/director Frank Darabont ('Shawshank Redemption') has said there will be some changes for TV.
