ABC’s STATION 19, now wrapping up its second season and renewed for a third, is a spinoff of its Thursday night lead-in, GREY’S ANATOMY. As with most spinoffs, there are some characters who moved from the original series to the new show. Among these migratory figures is Jason George’s character Ben Warren, who was a previously a doctor on GREY’S ANATOMY for eight seasons, but has gone through retraining to become a Station 19 firefighter in the newer series. George, originally from Virginia, had previously worked for GREY’S ANATOMY creator/STATION 19 executive producer as a regular in ABC’s OFF THE […]Read On »

While GREY’S ANATOMY continues to be a strong player on Thursday nights on ABC, it’s future looks bright this season and beyond according to ABC Entertainment Group President Paul Lee. “GREY’S came roaring back and it’s creatively still at the top of its form,” says Lee. “[Creator] Shondra [Rhimes] has a vision like no one else.

Dr. Jackson Avery arrived at Seattle Grace Hospital when it merged with Mercy West Hospital last season on GREY’S ANATOMY. The surgical resident survived the shootout in the season finale and has been making waves all through this past season. It may tell you something about the appeal of Jesse Williams, the actor who portrays Jackson, that on GREEK, he played a character known as “the Hotness Monster.” Williams is adept at playing nonchalant, too – when someone comments that he’s created quite a stir on GREY’S ANATOMY, Williams responds innocently, “Oh, have I?” The former high school teacher was […]Read On »

It is perhaps impossible to overstate the influence of the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, 1452-1519, on subsequent civilization. Scientist, inventor, engineer, painter, sculptor and architect, da Vinci did so much that exploring his entire life seems a Herculean task. But that’s exactly what filmmakers Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon set out to do with their four-hour documentary LEONARDO DA VINCI, which airs on PBS over two nights, Monday, November 18, and Tuesday, November 19. During PBS’s portion of the summer 2024 Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour, Sarah Burns (Ken Burns’s daughter) and McMahon (Sarah Burn’s husband) […]Read On »

Hallmark Channel’s series THE WAY HOME, now in its second season on Sunday nights, is a bit of a departure for the network.

Chyler Leigh stars as divorced journalist Kat Landry, who moves with her teen daughter Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) from the big city back to the family farm in Canada, still run by Kat’s widowed mother Del (Andie MacDowell). Where THE WAY HOME differs from other Hallmark fare is that it is also […]Read On »
