TV on Tap: Seth Rogen Joining "The League," "Phineas and Ferb" Are Number One and Dana Delaney Wants to Return to Wisteria Lane

What kind of drama will Gilles Marini bring to the Switched at Birth finale?

News

ABC Family's gymnast drama Make It Or Break It grabbed our attention with the season finale where Max came out as bisexual, and we hoped that wouldn't be the last we saw of him. Sadly the magic eight ball is saying "Ask again later," about the show's future. ABC Family President Michael Riley said he hasn't decided yet if he'll order a third season.

Now that we know that the upcoming season will be the swan song for Desperate Housewives, Dana Delany says she hopes she'll get to make a farewell appearance to Wisteria Lane. if she does return I hope she'll bring her onscreen girlfriend played by Julie Benz.

How are they going to get Dr. House out of last season's cliffhanger? It turns out the medical drama is going to jump ahead one year, which should give time for the doctor to pay some consequences without having to set many episodes of House in prison.

I avoided FX comedy The League when I saw reviews criticizing it for the kind of battle-of-the-sexes joke that's incredibly won out. However, word that Seth Rogen will be appearing in the third season just might get me to give it a second chance.

What do you get when you take an animated series with a devoted audience of all-ages like Phineas and Ferb and expand it to a two-hour movie? The Disney Channel's Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension was the most-watched TV movie all year, getting 7.6 million viewers.

What does Connor Paolo's role on the ABC soap Revenge mean for Gossip Girl's Eric van der Woodsen? Paolo told critics we shouldn't expect to see the gay teen anytime soon saying, "Eric's going to college, and he's going to stay there."

AMC's Hell on Wheels isn't waiting until its season finale (like The Killing) to draw controversy. It turns out the historical drama about the building of the Transcontinental Railroad has whitewashed history, deciding to ignore the Chinese immigrants who made a major contribution to the construction project. I've just lost interest in the series.
