The time-traveling drama (which premieres Wednesday at 10/9c) follows Becca, (played by Laura Ramsey, White Collar) a bride about to enter her second marriage, who mysteriously ventures back to the morning of her first nuptials (to Legend of the Seeker‘s Craig Horner) in 1995.

Bachelor Season Premiere: Who Got Chris Soules' First Impression Rose?
13 hours ago
“Love is a lot like farming,” mused Chris Soules on Monday’s Bachelor season premiere, a metaphor that can also be applied to the episode itself, which was basically a three-hour parade of clucking, weeding and — at one lady’s polite behest — plowing.
Soules may have bestowed his “first impression” rose upon 27-year-old waitress Britt — of course he’d pick the normal girl, right? — but we at TVLine have curated a list of ladies who made pretty strong first impressions on us. Let’s begin:
* Amanda, the 24-year-old ballet instructor with eyes that can pierce into your very soul — and not in a sexy way. »
Sleepy Hollow Recap: Winging It
13 hours ago
Sleepy Hollow must’ve read a few too many women’s magazines as of late, because this week’s episode really takes the New Year: New You! theme to heart.
Repeatedly, resoundingly, unrelentingly to heart. And while we can probably go a while without hearing Abbie draw parallels between trendy fruit and her journey as a Witness, the hour’s last few moments — where Irving resurfaces as one of the living! (or, at least, not one of the dead) — made up for some of the episode’s flaws.
Let’s review what happens in “Paradise Lost.”

Celebrity Apprentice Recap: Food Fights
14 hours ago
Another two bite the dust!
The Celebrity Apprentice settled into its regular time slot Monday (8/7c), bidding a harsh farewell to a pair of beloved(ish) celebs.
In the first hour, Teams Vortex and Infinity were charged with producing commercials for Neat, a de-cluttering software company — which couldn’t have been more ironic, considering how quickly the competition became a total mess.
But let’s start with the good: The ladies, with Kate Gosselin as their fearless project manager, churned out a solid-if-slightly-limited ad, netting $40K for Gosselin’s charity, Camp Barnabas. (Side note: Is anyone else disappointed that Gosselin »
Gotham Recap: Bats in the Belfry
15 hours ago
This week on Fox’s Gotham, demoted Jim Gordon found himself investigating a murder within the dreary Arkham Asylum, Penguin’s hubris landed him behind bars and Barbara got dealt a “toxic” blow.
Cutting to the chase: This was not a particularly good episode, all the more disappointing since it heralded the start of the back half of the season. I was, frankly, bored.
In the weeks since I first screened “Rogues’ Gallery,” I’ve mulled why this fell so short, rivaling “Selina” (aka the one with the ‘nappers of kids) as the most lackluster episode to date. And what »

Glee Casts Gina Gershon as Blaine's Mother in Final Season
19 hours ago
Pam Anderson is coming to Glee this season — but there’s a catch!
It turns out “Pam Anderson” is actually the name of Blaine’s mother, played by House of Versace star Gina Gershon, TVLine has confirmed. Spoiler-y set photos — including the above shot of Gershon with Darren Criss — have been floating around the internet for a bit.
Additional tweeted photos reveal that the Fox comedy’s final season will also see the return of Gloria Estefan as Santana’s mother Maribel.
Based on Gershon’s Instagram feed, it looks like she’ll converge with Estefan at a wedding — but whose? »

Vikings Season 3 Cast Photos, Teasers and Preview: Will Ragnar Have Paris?
20 hours ago
With Vikings‘ Season 3 premiere now just six weeks away, History has released a new cast photo, a piece of key art and a series of teaser videos declaring(/warning?), “The world is ours.”
The logline for the new season reads as follows: “With the promise of new land from the English, Ragnar leads his people to an uncertain fate on the shores of Wessex…. Ever the restless wanderer, Ragnar is searching for something more, and he finds it in the mythical city of Paris. Rumored to be impenetrable to outside forces, Ragnar and his band of Norsemen must come together »
Apprentice's Keshia Knight Pulliam: 'No Regrets' About Not Calling Bill Cosby
20 hours ago
The already-scandalous Celebrity Apprentice got even more controversial in Sunday’s season premiere with the utterance of two words: Bill. Cosby.
Keshia Knight Pulliam — best remembered as Cosby’s pint-sized Cosby Show co-star Rudy Huxtable — was the first to be fired, presumably because she openly chose not to solicit funds from her former TV dad; a Cosby-sized donation could have saved the women’s team from losing the challenge.
TVLine caught up with Pulliam at Trump Tower in New York for her thoughts on that decision, her firing and how she views her overall experience on the show. (Spoiler »
New Girl Video: The Roomies Have a Tiny Problem With Winston's Partner
20 hours ago
One small matter interferes with the celebration of Winston’s Police Academy graduation on Tuesday’s New Girl (Fox, 9/8c): His obsessive roommates can’t get over the fact that his training officer is petite and female.
Guest star Nasim Pedrad (Mulaney, Saturday Night Live) plays Winston’s diminutive-yet-deadly mentor, and — as you’ll see in the exclusive sneak peek below — she shuts down Nick and Coach’s concerns rather effectively around the 1:05 mark.
Press Play on the video to hear New Girl writer Jacob Brown and co-executive producer/writer Rob Rosell set up Pedrad’s episode.

21 hours ago
The following will excite Person of Interest fans… if not put them quite on edge, in anticipation of the midseason trilogy’s “nanners” second installment (airing Tuesday at 10/9c).
When last we tuned in to the CBS drama, Greer — frustrated by The Machine’s refusal to bow before the “god” Samaritan — set in motion a broader-hitting attack, on the world financial markets. Meanwhile, Shaw slipped out of the Finchcave, even though her cover has been blown and she is again visible to Samaritan’s eyes.

Amazon Studios Cancels Series Order for Chris Carter's The After
23 hours ago
Amazon Studios has cancelled its series order for The After, a supernatural drama from X-Files creator Chris Carter, our sister site Variety reports.
Along with Bosch (which recently wrapped production on its freshman run), Transparent (already renewed for Season 2), the recently released Mozart in the Jungle and others, The After received a green light from Amazon back in March, after its pilot received positive reaction via the streaming service’s unique preview process. Only the pilot wound up produced, however.
“We have decided to not move forward with The After,” Amazon Studios VP Roy Price said in a statement. “We »
