Hot in Cleveland gets animated! |

Last year, Hot in Cleveland went live for its season premiere and on March 26th they will go live again. Not only will HIC be live on TV Land that night, so will its spinoff The Soul Man.
Then later on in the season, the sitcom will get even more animated than it already is. That’s because the four housemates will get the cartoon treatment. According to the press release about the episode, “The magic starts at Elka’s apartment, which before now has been a mystery to Melanie, Joy and Victoria…and they soon find out why. From there the women go on a psychedelic romp through pop culture hits, including scenes with homages to Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, The Walking Dead and Frankenstein.” That episode sounds like it will be trippy good, as will the whole season.

Double up on Hollywood Game Night tonight! |

Hollywood Game Night is back on NBC tonight at 8p with 2 new episodes and you don’t want to miss either one of them. Seriously, what else is on tonight that is as much fun as this game show that is hosted by Jane Lynch.
At 8p, it is boys vs girls, and both sexes came there to win. The guys have Lester Holt, Jason Alexander and Martin Short and the latter two need their own sitcom ASAP. While the celebrity females playing the game are Valerie Bertinelli, Julie Bowen and Beth Behrs, whose show you should DVR tonight to watch this one.
They will play 2 new games and 3 old ones. The first game is an oldie and Celebrity Fushion will stump them as it brings out their playful nastiness. Next up is something new called Show Me the Music and this would be a fun game to play at home. One member of each team sits on the couch wearing noise-cancelling headphones as the rest of their team acts the song that singer is singing. Like I said, you will be playing this game with your friends because it’s like Charades but so much better. Then they try out their knowledge on another star’s career when they play Timeline. Up next is another oldie, Smash the Buzzer and Martin Short will make this game even more high energy than it already is. Finally they play Off the Top of My Head where one contestant has to guess the word on the other ones head.
All in all it is another great episode for the family game show. So sit back with your family tonight and watch a show that you can actually play with friends and family when it is done.

Deck the halls, it’s time for a Holiday Game Night’s first Christmas episode! |

Everybody loves a holiday episode, so how about one with Ray Romano competing on Hollywood Game Night. Well that is exactly what you are going to get tonight on NBC at 10p.
Jane Lynch is back for a second season of the show and she has something to celebrate with her celebrity guests. Why it’s Christmas of course. So who is kissing under the mistletoe on tonight’s episode, well it is our first contestants who are also a couple off of the show. The formerly happy couple is supermodel Brooklyn Decker and her husband retired tennis pro Andy Roddick. I say formerly because they are on opposite teams and the claws between the two of them come out when they go against each other. But his saving grace is when he plays Timeline and he has to put the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models in order of the date they were on the cover. Does he get them, including his wife’s cover, in that right order or does he only know when she was on top of the annual magazine that every man can’t wait to get his hands on?
When it comes to the Timeline game, Cheryl Hines will declare that she is really looking forward to filming her nude scene the next day after seeing all those perfect women in bikinis. For some reason, I think she will be able to compete against them just as she does with the other team tonight.
They aren’t the only celebrities on the show tonight, Rachel Bilson is an early Christmas present to her team leader. He said that she was his favorite star, so Jane makes the two of them sit together. A smart move because the two of them have an instant hemistry which helps when playing some of the new games like Movie Mashup and In Other Words, and previous games like Timelime, Smash the Buzzer and How Do You Doo?
How Do You Doo was an instant favorite last year, so how does singer Gavin DeGraw do at it? You will just have to watch to find out.
Finally, there is the always funny Ray Romano who thinks he is the host of the show. If I didn’t love Jane Lynch so much, I would say he should replace her because he is so funny tonight. When it comes to how good of a player he is that is a different story.
Now even though he is not the best at these games, that doesn’t matter. What matters is that everyone is having fun playing the game and we are having fun watching them play!
So if you missed the hot new game show during its summer run, then you can catch it tonight and every Monday night starting on January 20th.
Hollywood Game Night is the perfect show that you can watch with your family and friends and then play a version of it with them after the episode is over. I played How Do You Doo? with my friends and we couldn’t stop laughing, or as they put it they couldn’t stop laughing at me. But that is OK because it was a lot of fun just like HGN!

Hollywood Game Night is the show where celebrities are made to look ‘silly’! |

Hollywood Game Night was the hot show of the summer and it is back this Monday at 10p to warm up our winter starting with a special holiday edition. The celebrities taking part on the Christmas show are, Ray Romano, Cheryl Hines, Gavin DeGraw, Rachel Bilson, Andy Roddick and Brooklyn Decker. For the first time in HGN history, a married couple is on the show. Recently I went to the set of the popular game show and host Jane Lynch told us that Roddick and Decker are on opposing teams. So should we expect niceness from them? She told us they came to play, so expect some unmodel like behavior and some backhand comments between them. If that isn’t a reason to tune in, then the fact that the game show likes making celebrities look silly is the other reason to check it out.
So who are the other celebrities that are coming up on the show’s second season that officially starts on January 20th at 10p? They are Julie Bowen, Beth Behrs, Valerie Bertinelli,Lester Holt, Jason Alexander, Martin Short, Sean Hayes, Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis, Alison Janney, Don Cheadle, Christina Applegate, Rosie O’Donnell, Penny Marshall, Chris Colfer, Taryn Manning, Donald Faison, Kaley Cuoco, Alison Sweeney, Fred Willard, Breckin Meyer, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Taraji P. Henson, Angela Kinsey, Jenna Elfman, Molly Shannon, Ellie Kemper, Bob Harper, Joel Madden, Nate Berkus, Erika Christensen, Michelle Trachtenberg, Mel B, Padma Lakshmi, Michael Weatherly, Yvette Nicole Brown, Anthony Anderson, Tiffani Thiessen, Pete Wentz, Adam Scott, Gary Dell’abate, Retta, Michael Chiklis, Tom Lennon, Paget Brewster, Mario Lopez, Alyssa Milano, Cobie Smulders, Taran Killam, Angie Harmon, Mark Feuerstein, Mayim Bialik and Henry Winkler.
So what surprises can we expect from that list of names. Lynch told us they tried to put couples and BFFs on opposite teams, but that idea struck out with Penny Marshall and Rosie O’Donnell so they are the same team. The Glee coach used one of her co-stars as a buffer between the two women or as she put it, “We put Chris Colfer between them to knock down the testosterone.” We will have to tune in to see if their team is something to sing about. On that note, some of the stars joined the band for a song or two including The Shield’s Michael Chiklis on drums and NBC News’ Lester Holt on bass. One star Lynch was singing the praises of was Rachel Bilson, who she misjudged because of her work on The OC. Jane told us that she was actually quite funny and the Hart of Dixie sweetheart shares a hilarious story about her pet pig that will leave everyone in tears because they are laughing so hard.
Just like every episode of Hollywood Game Night has done thus far. So don’t be a Scrooge and start your Christmas cheer early with HGN this Monday at 10p. Don’t miss it or be prepared to be Clue Boomed!

Christmas gets a little Grimm tonight! |

Tonight at 9p Grimm ends its winter run with a 2 great new episodes and both will leave you with nightmares.
If you grew up in NYC, then the first episode will have a special meaning for you. Remember when you were a kid and you heard that alligators lived in the sewers? Well tonight on Grimm they take on that myth and you will never want to go down into your local sewers ever again. Not that you ever wanted to in the first place, but after watching this urban legend come to life, you’ll be avoiding them like the plague.
Then at 10p Grimm gives new meaning to the naughty and nice list that Santa Claus keeps. When teenagers, who have been very naughty suddenly go missing, Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) have to find out what happened to them. Turns out the legend of Krampus is true and they have to find the teens before it is too late. Will they be able to find where he has been hiding them before it is too late?
You will just have to tune in for two of hours of television that are absolutely perfect for Friday the 13th!
Now some of you may be saying that these episodes do not focus on stories that are part of the Grimm Fairytales and you would be right. Earlier this week I was on a conference call with the show’s star, David Giuntoli, and he talked about that. He explained that as the show and his character, Nick, grow “that some of these other phenomena that take place in the world haven’t yet been added to the book of fairy tales, but they are being added by Nick now.” Then he added, “So we are taking other myths and folklore and otherwise just kind of stories that have been told and putting the little Grimm spin behind them now, so I enjoy that.” He concluded that thought by saying that he likes it and I have to add that we the viewers agree with him. Seeing the scary bedtime stories we grew up with come to life on the small screen, terrifies us but we also enjoy felling that fear all over again.
And here are two little facts about tonight’s episode that he shared with us. They actually filmed part of the first episode in a sewer under Portland. When it comes to the second episode, when Giuntoli saw Derek Mears in his full Krampus makeup, he was actually frightened by him. So if an actor can be afraid of another actor, then you know that the episode is going to be scary good. So tune in or the Grimm will get you!
