Even though Sunday’s SAG Awards ceremony will be shortened to just one pre-taped hour on TNT and TBS, the special In Memoriam segment will still be a highlight. Since the 2020 event aired on January 19, it will be over 14 months until the one on April 4. That means even more actors, actresses and members of SAG/AFTRA will hopefully be honored than the 40 people in the tribute last year.
Chadwick Boseman died last August and is a four-time nominee for the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday. The two individual nominations are for his leading role in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” and his supporting performance in “Da 5 Bloods.” Those two films also are nominated for the top ensemble category.
Oscar winners who have died in the past 14 months include Sean Connery, Olivia de Havilland, Cloris Leachman and Christopher Plummer. Academy Award nominees include Boseman, Kirk Douglas, Hal Holbrook, Ian Holm,...

The Emmys’ In Memoriam segment Sunday left out a number of actors we lost in 2020, but the Television Academy hasn’t entirely overlooked them. Nick Cordero, Chi Chi DeVayne, Kobe Bryant, Shelley Morrison, Honor Blackman, and soap actors Roscoe Born, John Callahan, Marj Dusay and John Karlen are among the many names included in a more comprehensive roster on the Academy’s website.
Some of the names, including Morrison, actress Kelly Preston and Saturday Night Live‘s music producer Hal Willner, were represented in a not-particularly easy-to-read memorial segment during the Creative Arts ceremonies last week (see it below) but didn’t make the shorter roster on the Emmys broadcast Sunday.
The comprehensive scrolling roster includes performers whose body of work fell largely in other areas of entertainment – Cordero, Zoe Caldwell, Mark Blum and Brent Carver from the stage, Fleetwood Mac founder Peter Green from music, Honor Blackman from film...

Nick Cordero was not included in the Emmy Award’s In Memoriam segment Sunday night, and Zach Braff, the late actor’s friend and former Broadway co-star, says it wasn’t for supporters’ lack of trying.
“For those wondering: The Emmys chose to leave Nick Cordero out of the memorial montage,” Braff tweeted today. “I had no idea one had to campaign to get their loved one in. We did. They passed.”
Braff also tweeted a note he said he received from Emmy staffers that said, “Those involved in the In Memoriam selection process are very aware of the sad passing of Mr Cordero due to coronavirus and we assure that his name has been given every consideration for inclusion. With so many people passing in any given year, we simply cannot ensure any particular individual is included, nor do we release the name of those included prior to the telecast.

Many TV legends and contributors were included for the “In Memoriam” segment on Sunday’s Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony for ABC. But producers are always forced to omit some of the 100+ insiders who died since the last ceremony. Who was left out of the group that was honored?
With dozens of television veterans having died since last year’s mid-September ceremony, people certainly included were these six TV Academy Hall of Fame members:
Diahann Carroll
Leonard Goldberg (executive at 20th Century Fox and ABC; producer of “Charlie’s Angels” and more)
Jim Lehrer (anchor/reporter of “MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour)
Regis Philbin

Happy 77th birthday to one of our favorite actors, Christopher Lloyd!
The actor, who's played some of filmdom's most beloved characters, including Doc Brown in "Back to the Future," Professor Plum in "Clue," and Uncle Fester in the "Addams Family" films, was born on October 22, 1938 in Stamford, Conn.
Partly because of his height, and partly because of his manic intensity and commitment to even the wildest characters, he's portrayed a series of eccentrics, from mad scientists to aliens; had an impressive, award-winning theater career; and will always be remembered as Reverend Jim on "Taxi."
In honor of his 77th birthday, we've come up with 75 reasons why he's so awesome.
1. He's played a Klingon, a cartoon, the Wizard of Oz, an angel, a leper, and a geriatric vampire.
2. He stands an impressive 6'1."
3. Because he's so tall, he had to hunch over to appear in the same frame with "Back to the Future...

There he saw Ellie (Christa Miller) -- who looks a lot like Jordan Sullivan from his old job -- sitting next to Bobby's new girlfriend, played by Sarah Chalke -- who of course looks identical to Dr. Elliot Reid.

Cougar Town is about to be invaded by a whole lotta Scrubs alumni, and we’ve got your first look at the gang (minus Zach Braff) reunited on the cul-de-sac.
Sarah Chalke is already in the midst of her arc as Bobby’s gal pal when the big episode, titled “A One Story Town,” airs March 13. In it, Ken Jenkins reprises his role of Jules’ dad, Sam Lloyd’s Ted passes through town with his musical group, The Peons, and Robert “The Todd” Maschio drops by as… The Todd?! (See the green cut-off shirt and flamed bandana-looking thing for proof.

Chicago – With almost every episode they’ve produced, ABC’s “Cougar Town” has turned into a better program. It’s been remarkable to watch creator Bill Lawrence and his team refine what works about this show. They’ve taken it away from the star vehicle feel of its first season to an ensemble show in its Finally-debuting third season, tonight, February 14th, 2012. Spend Valentine’s Day with one of the stronger comedies on TV.
Television Rating: 4.0/5.0
ABC is in an enviable position that still could spell death for “Cougar Town” — they have a wealth of quality comedy. “Modern Family” and “Happy Endings” are two of the best on TV, “Suburgatory” gets better with every episode, and “The Middle” is a solid performer. That’s four shows, which leaves no room for “Cougar Town” back on Wednesday nights. Pairing it with Tim Allen’s mediocre “Last Man Standing,” which has a very different demo,...

As a special treat for fans and new viewers, Cougar Town returns on Valentine’s Day with an especially fun episode that will make romantics at-heart swoon. The entire episode (aptly entitled “Ain’t Love Strange”) is a love letter. It is a warm-hearted ode to the fans that have watched for the prior two seasons, and an enticing invitation to new viewers to check out a show that has been saddled with a misleading moniker.
The running joke for the past two years has been to poke fun at the title of the show. Contrary to its name, the show offers a lively look at a charming group of friends who have become a family over the course of their lifetime adventures and who have welcomed a few more lonely neighbors and co-workers into their lives. While divorces tend to drive people away, the divorce of Jules and Bobby...

It started with a tweet. I have no idea who put said tweet in my feed, but in that feed there was a trailer for a film that sounded so vague that admittedly my curiosity was piqued. The name? Some Guy Who Kills People.
Written by Ryan Levin, directed by Jack Perez and starring Kevin Corrigan, Some Guy Who Kills People tells the story of Ken Boyd, a lonely man fresh out of the loony bin who sets out to kill those he deems responsible for his miserable life.
Using the powers of Twitter, I reached out to writer Ryan Levin and this is what happened...
Crix: Where did the idea for Sgwkp come about?
Ryan Levin: The idea came from a short film I made in 2007 called “The Fifth,” in which a group of buddies hang out, play poker and shoot the shit about their jobs. One of the guys,...

Los Angeles, California (X17online) - Five Scrubs alumni will reunite as guests on Cougar Town, according to TVline. Zach Braff and Robert "The Todd" Maschio will join Sarah Chalke, Sam Lloyd and Ken Jenkins, who already had spots on the ABC comedy. The details of Braff and Maschio’s roles remain unclear. The Scrubs reunion will take place on a Season 3 episode of Cougar Town.

When Bill Lawrence was running "Scrubs," he had a bunch of actors from his previous show, "Spin City," appear as guest stars. Now that he's moved on to "Cougar Town," he's continued the cycle by having several former "Scrubs" stars do guest roles.
That list is about to grow: "Scrubs" star Zach Braff and semi-regular Robert Maschio, aka The Todd, are set to appear on "Cougar Town" this season. But that's not all: The episode in which they're guest-starring, TVLine reports, will be a full-blown "Scrubs" reunion that also features Sarah Chalke, Ken Jenkins and Sam Lloyd, in addition to "Ct" regular Christa Miller.
As previously reported, Chalke will have a recurring part on the show as Bobby's (Brian Van Holt) new girlfriend. Jenkins is reprising his role as Jules' (Courteney Cox) father, and Lloyd will continue his "Scrubs"-world crossover as Ted. Just who Braff and Maschio will be...

It was only a matter of time before Sarah Chalke made her way on to the set of Cougar Town. Having starred in the Bill Lawrence created Scrubs for eight years; it makes sense that Lawrence would use her in his newest series. Chalke should feel right at home among series stars Courtney Cox and Christa Miller, both of whom appeared on Scrubs (Miller also happens to be Lawrence’s real life wife). Now what exactly will Chalke be doing once she arrives in Cougar Town?
According to TVLine, Chalke plays a photography professor at Travis’ (Dan Byrd) college whose name is Angie. She’ll appear in multiple episodes as a love interest for Bobby (Brian Van Holt). Angie is described as being of natural beauty and has a cool vibe. She’ll meet Bobby through Travis, and fingers crossed that Travis doesn’t have a weird student crush on her.

"Cougar Town" is gaining another cougar. "Scrubs" star Sarah Chalke is joining the ABC comedy for a multi-episode story arc as a Bobby's (Brian Van Holt) lover.

"Cougar Town" stars Courteney Cox, Christa Miller and Busy Philipps. Its third season will debut in November. Chalke recently starred on CBS’ short-lived "Mad Love."...

'Scrubs star' Sarah Chalke is headed to 'Cougar Town.' TVLine reports that Chalke will be joining the wine-soaked ABC comedy in a recurring role as Bobby's photography professor and love interest.
It's a reunion for Chalke and Bill Lawrence, the co-creator of both 'Scrubs' and 'Cougar Town.' Lawrence has steadily been recruiting 'Scrubs' actors for his new show -- so far he's nabbed Ken Jenkins, Sam Lloyd, Robert Clendenin, Zach Braff and Scott Foley to serve double-duty.

"Cougar Town" will have a longer-than-usual break between seasons 2 and 3, thanks to ABC moving the show to Tuesdays and opting to start it after "Dancing With the Stars" concludes in the fall.
So we're thankful that the show's hour-long season finale, most of which was filmed in Hawaii, left us with so much good stuff to re-watch and talk about for the next six months or so. There were a couple of decent-sized story developments -- Jules and Grayson acknowledging, if not yet fully working out, their clashing feelings about having kids together and Laurie helping convince Travis to come home by exploiting his crush on her -- but it was also really, really funny in some unexpected ways. A few thoughts on what made "Something Good Coming" so good:

A review of the one-hour "Cougar Town" finale coming up just as soon as I'm not Coolio... When the "Scrubs" gang went to the Bahamas in the final full season of the regular show, it was done in part so that Bill Lawrence could win a debate with his mentor Gary David Goldberg about whether it was possible to make a funny sitcom vacation episode filmed on location. Lawrence easily won the argument with that "Scrubs" two-parter, and with "Something Good Coming" - which has an extended cameo from "Scrubs" alum Sam Lloyd, playing his "Scrubs" character of singin' lawyer Ted...

Aloha from ”We will never stop mocking the title…Cougar Town!” Here’s the good news: ABC treated us with a special, hour-long episode of Ct set in Hawaii! The bad news: It was the season finale. Our favorite cul-de-sac crew will not return until November. (I’ll pause for you to pound some grape in an effort to deal with the news….) In the meantime, we’ve got a lot to cover. Let’s dive right in.

We've seen the downward spiral of Travis (Dan Byrd) on "Cougar Town" over the past few weeks, culminating in him taking up residence on his dad's boat at the end of last week's episode.
Yes, he got crushed when Kirsten turned down his proposal, and yes, he's effectively dropped out of college. But it's not all bad -- at least he gets a trip to Hawaii out of it. The show's hour-long season finale on Wednesday (May 25) was filmed on location on the north shore of Oahu.
"Part of [Travis'] healing process is running away to Hawaii," Byrd tells Zap2it, "which allows the rest of the gang to go after him."
His character's current mopey state hasn't let Byrd participate in the show's comedy as much of late, but he enjoyed the change of pace for Travis.

'Cougar Town': Exec producer Bill Lawrence gives you the scoop on tonight's season finale in Hawaii!
It’s time to wave goodbye to the cul-de-sac for awhile, figuratively and literally. Not only does tonight bring the one-hour season finale of Cougar Town (ABC, 9:30 p.m. Et/Pt), Jules (Courteney Cox) and the gang leave Florida to jet off to Hawaii, where Jules’ son, Travis (Dan Byrd), has apparently decided to become a beach bum. Plenty of Hawaiian high jinks await you, including but not limited to tropical versions of Big Carl and Penny Can. “I think people will really dig it,” says co-creator/exec producer Bill Lawrence. “Just so it wouldn’t seem like a typical ‘resort episode,...

This is the best thing we have seen all week. Remember on "Scrubs" how Ted Buckland (Sam Lloyd) had a band called The Worthless Peons and they were awesome, especially on things like "Over the Rainbow"? Well, in real life they are The Blanks and this most recent video, tweeted by "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence Saturday (April 23), is just delightful.
Not only are they covering current artists in a hilarious way, but there is a "Scrubs" cameo at the 1:25 mark that made us laugh so incredibly hard. What a delightful little piece of weekend fare.
What do you think, "Scrubs" fans? Awesome, right?...

It's always fun to talk to Bill Lawrence because you never know where the conversation is going to go. When I spoke to him earlier this week, the conversation ranged from ratings to his wife Christa Miller appearing on the Howard Stern show to 'Hanna Montana.'
But the best parts are the tidbits about his show, 'Cougar Town.' For instance, Lawrence told me that Sam Lloyd will appear in the show's Hawaii-based second-season finale, as his 'Scrubs' character, hapless lawyer Ted Buckland, a move that had been rumored a few months ago. He'll be there to help Travis through some tough times.

Scrubs may have gone to the cancellation graveyard but one of the sitcom's regular characters may be returning to ABC -- for one night.
TVLine reports that actor Sam Lloyd will very likely be reprising his role as attorney Ted Buckland for the season finale of Cougar Town. The characters of the Courteney Cox sitcom take a trip to Hawaii to help Travis through some sort of crisis and while there, they run into dim-witted Ted.
When we last saw Ted on Scrubs, he and his girlfriend, singer Stephanie Gooch (Kate Micucci), were traveling around the country together. Perhaps they've split-up, settled in Hawaii, or are just passing through? We'll have to wait to find out the details.

You already know that Cougar Town‘s tipsy Cul-de-sac crew will be heading to Hawaii during May sweeps. But what you don’t know is who they’ll run into shortly after getting lei’d: Ted from Scrubs!
