Ask Matt: Analyzing Daisies' Wilting Ratings, Defending Grey's Creator and More! | Matt Roush | 10/10/2008 New
TV Guide's Senior Critic Matt Roush takes your TV questions. Have a rant, rave or burning question about your favorite show you'd like addressed? E-mail him here. Question: I'm devastated, but not necessarily surprised, by the early ratings for Pushing Daisies. I thought it was risky of ABC to leave a show this fragile and unique off the air for so long and expect viewers to flock to its return. It's sad that something this unique, this creative and this original just can't "click" with a general public, but my hope is that the demos are decent enough that it will make it through at least 12 episodes and give us fans a proper, affectionate sign-off. — Andrew M. Matt Roush: Let's not suggest the show be pushing up daisies just yet, though the opening numbers were dismaying. I can only hope ABC won't let this delightful show go down without a fight (the same argument I've been adopting lately for Fox's struggling Terminator series). But I agree the out-of-sight,... read more 18 Comments
Mega Buzz on Housewives, Terminator, The Closer & More! | Today's News: Our Take | 10/8/2008
I'd love it if you could give a "hint" as to whom on Wisteria Lane Desperate Housewives' Dave Williams has a vendetta against? - Barbara Matt: Hint, coincidence or sloppy character-naming? You decide. George-the-nutty-pharmacist's last name was Williams. I need scoop about what is going on with Cameron on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Sookie on True Blood. - Sarah Matt: Tackling Terminator first, are you ready for some girl-on-girl action? Because the Oct. 20 episode finds Cameron slugging it out with another fierce fembot - all within the confines of an elevator. I need a cigarette already.Mickey: I'm going to give you a non-spoiler spoiler about True Blood. I accidentally found out who the serial killer is the other day, and it kind of broke my heart. (Hint: It's one of the "good" guys.) Have anything juicy on Gossip Girl? - KateMickey: Remember how Nate and his mom helped The Captain escape prosecution? Well, I'm hearing that Mr.... read more 28 Comments
Paul Adelstein: Private Practice Prescribes Juicier Drama | Today's News: Our Take | 10/7/2008
With its Season 2 premiere, ABC's Private Practice "grew up" a bit, eschewing flighty romances for bigger drama punctuated by ethical dilemmas. Paul Adelstein promises more of the same, while also previewing what's ahead for Cooper and his strange romance. Plus: Is Prison Break's Kellerman alive? TVGuide.com: It's so good to see the show back.... Paul Adelstein: It's nice to have it back. TVGuide.com: The gang was a little rough there on Naomi, at the end of the premiere. Adelstein: Hey, man, she left us all high and dry! Although in her defense, we probably should have been paying a little more attention. [Laughs] TVGuide.com: Apparently one and only one partner had their eye on the ledger. Adelstein: And the rest of us were in the kitchen snacking when we should have been seeing patients. TVGuide.com: Is that one of the themes this season, that we'll get a bit more into the business of the practice, versus pretty people just flitting around and flirting? Adelstein:... read more 2 Comments

Ming Na, who once played a doctor on ER, next will be playing with the doctors of Private Practice.In the fifth episode of the ABC drama's second season (which kicks off this Wednesday), Ming Na will guest-star as a friend of Violet's, and thus will help shed some light on Amy Brenneman's introverted shrink.
