Rachel Dratch is supposed to be playing their nanny, isn't she? I imagine we're going to get at least one episode focused on Leslie trying to balance her work and family responsibilities, and they'll show up then.

If you're looking for a good Jane Kaczmarek fix, she has a recurring role in Playing House, and now it's been renewed you've got the promise of seeing even more of her some time later this year.

For ages Neil Cross kept talking about wanting to do a spin-off about Alice and I'll forever be upset it never materialised. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed she's going to be in the new mini-series of Luther, at the very least. It was always at its best when she was in it, and the end of series three definitely

I haven't seen the episode, but from a cursory glance at her Wikipedia page it's probably worth noting that her father's Jewish and she was raised Jewish in a Jewish neighbourhood, but the producers obviously chose to focus on her mum's German roots. From what little I've seen of her, glib just seems to be Chelsea

I saw this last year and I really enjoyed it, it was probably my favourite film of the year, but I'm guessing mentioning Girls in the title of the review is going to turn some people on here off. I guess I just really related to the main character. Desiree Akhavan was at the screening I went to and she came across

I've only seen Bridesmaids, which I enjoyed, but I can't say I walked out thinking, "Wow, that was amazingly directed." As I said, I'm much more interested in seeing him writing again.

Since Freaks and Geeks he's had a solid TV directing career before directing one critically acclaimed comedy movie, followed by another not-so-well-received movie, so I wouldn't really call him a hack. This is the first thing he's actually written since 2003, and it was his writing on F and G that showed potential, so

To be fair, unlike her more recent roles, she doesn't seem to be playing a "gross" character, just someone that people are (wrongly) dismissive of because of her appearance, which is promising. That is a change, if the trailer is accurate in that regard. I don't know what the rest of you were watching. I mean, it

I'm not currently watching any of these shows (I've got more than a few on my to do list, though), but I'll never understand the thought process behind making fun of The CW's penchant for renewing a majority of its programming, especially when most networks are consistently lambasted for cancelling things before they

I'm kind of dying to know the thought process that got them from, "Paul Giamatti is unavailable," to, "Get Matt Damon on the phone." Do you think they're often vying for the same roles?

I imagine he actually said, "chew some scenery," when he was talking about Supernatural, rather than, "choose some scenery." Interesting read, though.

It was meant to be even more extravagant, there are lots of comments about them spending a lot of money on it in the run up, Monica steps in as wedding planner and she organises ice sculptures and crazy floral arrangements etc., but on the day of the wedding there's a blizzard which shuts down the city so they can't

To be fair, the writers actually went out of their way to justify the big wedding because they were aware it was somewhat out of character, especially considering she had a greencard marriage in an early season, and is implied to have had at least one shot-gun wedding in Vegas. They have an entire episode about Mike

Not that it really matters, but Downton Abbey is an ITV programme, not BBC.

He seems pretty sincere when he says he agreed to do the movie because his daughter was a fan of the Muppets and they used to watch The Muppet Show together when she was younger, although that doesn't mean it couldn't have paid well too, of course. Either way, he really is fantastic as Scrooge. His performance

He said that as a child he was never a comic book fan because he couldn't understand how to read them, which he put down to his dyslexia, but as an adult The Killing Joke was the first time he read a comic and enjoyed it, which led him into reading other comics, including The Dark Knight Returns, which he went on to

Ah, that makes sense.

They announced Daredevil was set for a May release at Comic Con, I'm not sure why the article says "at some unknown point in 2015". If they're planning to continue launching them off the back of movie releases beyond that, then A.K.A. Jessica Jones is probably going to come out some time after Ant-Man, which is out

I mean, Dean Thomas was stated to be black when he's introduced in the very first book, Goldstein is commonly a Jewish surname, and Dumbledore's relationship with Grindelwald read as unrequited love to me when I first read Deathly Hallows (although I thought maybe I was reading too much into it, initially), so it's

The same people who named their kids Liberty, Annachi, and Ryot.
