News & Views Meet THE CREW

Editor’s Note

Age And Prestige We recently debated over whether a TV show was a good fit demographically for our audience. A spirited conversation followed — some thinking The Walking Dead was for millennials, others thinking reality shows like The Bachelor and The Bachelorette were surely for middle-aged, winesipping housewives. So we tasked one of our veteran journalists to work with Nielsen to get us the answer on whether or not age defines what we watch on TV. Her results can be found on page 10. Equally enlightening this issue is the kindeyed Bryan Cranston, who for three decades has wowed us with his Emmy-winning performances and his Everyman personality. Cranston is almost unrecognizable as our 36th president, LBJ, in the HBO original All the Way. Inside he shares his thoughts and humor on his role and politics (page 14). And while we were on the topic of presidents, we also put together a fun trivia challenge to test your knowledge of TV and movie presidents. Another standout TV event to take note of this month is History’s remake of Roots, an eight-hour, four-night event. The powerful and iconic story remains as important today as it did when it first premiered in 1977. Read more about it on page 16. Happy reading! And happy viewing!

Readers Respond: Which Movie Do You Think Should Be Made Into A TV Show?

Why Do Networks DO That?

I thought the powers that be are supposed to bring us entertainment. Why then do they not check their programming? They say it’s an hour show, [but] the ending is never complete; it’s on some future show somewhere on another channel. It’s so frustrating to watch a show for one hour and be cut off! So sick of incomplete shows. MONTH: I hope you pass this to the proper department. — Chester

I think Conan the Barbarian/Destroyer would make a good TV show if done right. There are several books and stories, so it could potentially last for a while. Also The Matrix; it could show how characters became the people they were in the movies. — Matt

QUESTION OF THE

What TV series do you never get tired of watching?

Chester, we are assuming you are talking about canceled TV shows — and we completely agree. Social media sites like Facebook Email us at [email protected] and Twitter are good places to vent and lobby to bring a show back. I get the feeling you would enjoy a I would want the movie Nicholas and baseball hat, so look for it in the mail. Alexandra to be made into an epic TV show. This movie came out in 1971 Mel Is My Favorite and it was about the life of Nicholas II, tsar of Russia, and his beautiful wife I did not watch all of the Oscars for this Alexandra and their loving family. It was reason: I don’t like Leonardo DiCaprio based on a book by Robert K. Massie. In and Russell Crowe. They cannot act my mind, I have cast all the actors for the worth a HOOT! I’d rather see Mel Romanov family, but I’m having trouble Gibson, who has yet to get an Oscar nod casting Rasputin. What actor has his for Best Actor. Hopefully, at next year’s piercing, hypnotic eyes? I’m working on Oscars, Mel will be a presenter. — Miss it! — Jean Clemens The Invisible Man. — Allen You are correct. Mel Gibson has not won a Best Actor Oscar yet, but it’s not too Thanks for the input; I am sending you all late. As for the others: I love Leo (“Catch T-shirts. Woo-hoo! Me If You Can,” “Titanic” — total faves) and “Gladiator,” which stars Crowe, is To The People Who Do my all-time favorite movie. But, I’m still Your Scheduling sending you something — hmm, how Why are some programs listed in the about an extra-long chip clip?! magazine but not shown? For instance, programs like Operation Repo, Lizard Lick Towing and South Beach Tow? — Luann Networks provide us with their programming schedules and we list what they provide; however, programmers will and do make programming updates, which then makes our book inaccurate.

Hype SEASON FINALE GUIDE

AN AMICABLE SPLIT “The Good Wife” Ends On Good Terms. By Ryan A. Berenz

For the critically adored CBS legal drama The Good Wife, there will be a conclusion that is advantageous to all parties. Executive producers and co-creators Robert and Michelle King announced early this year that they were leaving the series after the current Season 7. The cast, studio and CBS agreed that it was an opportune time to end the show on top and on its own terms. “It has been an absolute honor to be a part of a series that, throughout seven years, never settled on being just good … but always strived to be extraordinary,” star Julianna Margulies says. Margulies has won a Golden Globe, two Emmys, a Critics’ Choice Award and two SAG Awards for her portrayal of Alicia Florrick. The biggest question to be answered in the finale: Will Alicia and Peter (Chris Noth) get a divorce? The Good Wife series finale > CBS > May 8

Questions

With … Fred Savage Of FOX’s “The Grinder.” By Jeff Pfeiffer

The Grinder has been a fun and interesting sitcom for FOX, featuring Rob Lowe as an actor who portrayed a lawyer on TV who, upon ending his show, thinks he can go and help his real-life lawyer brother (played by Fred Savage) with his practice. The concept and performances are hilarious, with the show garnering critical praise, a Golden Globe nomination for Lowe and a full-season pickup of 22 episodes (the season finale airs May 10). Sadly, despite the acclaim, it seems unlikely that The Grinder will be picked up for a second season. Before The Grinder (possibly) rests, we caught up with Savage, and he answered our “5 Questions.” Do you have a favorite sports team? Chicago Cubs! I grew up in the northern suburbs of Chicago. . . . I’ve been a Cubs fan my whole life. This year, I’m very excited. I’ve said “This year” for 30 years, but I mean it now. Do you have any pets? No pets. My wife is a big dog person, and I’m not, and I feel like having animals and being an animal person — the fact that I’m not, I feel, is a real deficiency in my personality. I want my kids to have that. I have three kids, so I think a dog is in our future at some point. … I feel like that is important. I want my kids to be animal people. If your TV could only carry three shows or networks, what would they be? Like I said, I have three kids. So I’d have to say Sprout, the Disney Channel because they love my brother’s show [Ben Savage stars in Girl Meets World], ], and I think I’d have to say FOX.

Is there a movie you can watch over and over without getting tired of it? Oh, man. Part of me wants to say The Godfather,, and another part of me wants to say Billy Madison. [Laughs] Have you ever had a memorable encounter with a fan? I’ll be honest with you — I still can’t believe that people want an autograph or a photo. They come over when I’m at dinner or see me out. I still can’t get over it. And now with The Grinder, it’s a whole new fervency. Each one of them is so meaningful to me. No one’s been crazy or outlandish, so there aren’t crazy stories like that, but honestly, each one is very meaningful. HM

2016 RESULTS READER SURVEY

We Asked. You Answered. Here’s What You Thought.

FULL UPFRONTAL TV Networks Take It All Off At Upfront Galas. By Ryan A. Berenz

T

he curtain closes on the 2015-16 TV season this month, but not before ABC, CBS, The CW, FOX and NBC go for the full reveal at their upfront presentations May 16-19. The upfronts are basically lavish parties the networks throw in New York City to get Madison Avenue to buy commercials so your DVR can skip through them. Network executives unveil the shiny new programs coming in the fall season in an effort to keep the traditional ad-supported TV dinosaur breathing for another year. We find out which pilot projects get new series orders. We find out which shows are returning and if they’ve been moved to a new day or time (not that time slots are as significant in the age of TV Everywhere). We also find out which series aren’t coming back without the networks explicitly calling them “canceled.” The upfronts are a carnival of adspeak, jargon and ratings spin. We’ll hear lots of things about “The Demo” and “Live Plus 7.” Networks will take “big, bold swings” trying to “eventize” everything. In 2014, CBS announced it was doing away with “midseason” in favor of “later in the season.” This year, we’re expecting to hear more discussion of “Peak TV” — the idea that the TV universe has expanded to maximum sustainable size and awesomeness, and it will soon collapse in on itself. For us in the entertainment press, the upfronts are like Christmas. We start getting pilots to watch “FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY; NOT FOR REVIEW.” We start separating the wheat from the chaff for our fall previews. We get to praise/criticize networks over cultural diversity in content and casting. And we get to lament the lack of original ideas, with reboots, adaptations or spinoffs as some of 2016’s most anticipated “new” series: Cruel Intentions (NBC), Chicago Justice (NBC), Marvel’s Most Wanted (ABC), MacGyver (CBS), Training Day (CBS), 24: Legacy (FOX), The Exorcist (FOX), Lethal Weapon (FOX), Frequency (The CW), Taken (NBC), and shows based on Archie comics (The CW) and Nancy Drew books (CBS).

No real surprises on the favorite channel list, as CBS, NBC, ABC, HBO and PBS all remain in the top five positions, the only change being NBC moving above ABC this year.

HOW DOES AGE

We’re Not As Different As You Think! By Lori Acken

Define What We Watch?

Think only gore-obsessed twerps love The Walking Dead, with its unwashed masses and people-chompin’ zombies? How about Game of Thrones and those dungeons and dragons and imaginary lands? Is ShondaLand the TV playground of the bored and aging housewife? And about CBS — short for Cherished By Seniors, or what? Most ratings reports lump together everyone in the advertiser-snuggled 18-49 demo, which makes it tough for folks like us to know if, as they suggest, you and your hipster nephew are honest-to-God watching the same stuff. So we asked our friends at Nielsen, ground zero for all things TV consumption, to tally the mostviewed shows by decade to see if the zillions of networks, loads of great TV and evolving viewing options deepen chasms between the age groups or unite us in The Walking Dead our love of heartfelt comedy, escapist drama and anything played with a ball. The results are fun — and, in some cases, eye-opening! Did your favorite make the list?

Bryan Cranston Plays A Purposeful LBJ As The “Accidental” President’s Achievements Are Jeopardized Today. By Lori Acken

F

orty-seven years after he left the White House, Lyndon Baines Johnson is having a renaissance. Most of us know “LBJ” as the droning, jowly Texan who became president when Lee Harvey Oswald trained his gun on John F. Kennedy and quashed America’s Camelot dreams. What you recall from there (if you recall a single thing) depends on your age, your race, your geography … maybe your family ties. But not a day goes by that you aren’t affected by Johnson’s policies, the social-minded core of which is ground zero for the mudslinging war games of this year’s presidential race. So much so that his 1964 campaign ads are making the viral rounds and sounding oddly timely.

All the Way: © Hilary Bronwyn Gayle/Courtesy of HBO

“Very few people remember Lyndon Johnson for his accomplishments,” says Bryan Cranston, whose ingenious portrayal of Johnson in Broadway’s All the Way earned him and the play much-deserved Tony Awards in 2014. “What they remember him for are the tragedy and his disappointments and, mainly, Vietnam. What All the Way highlighted is the extensive domestic achievement that he was able to develop in the five years that he was president.” Cranston says that dichotomy — coupled with the fact that Johnson was one hell of a rip-roaring guy — made the opportunity to step into the 36th president’s shoes irresistible. So irresistible that, when Way ended its Broadway run, Cranston teamed up with playwright Robert Schenkkan, director Jay Roach (Recount) and coexecutive producer Steven Spielberg to expand All the Way into a riveting, star-packed HBO film. To shade his character, Cranston spent time with veteran journalist (and Johnson’s former press secretary) Bill Moyers. “Bill told me, ‘Lyndon Johnson is 11 of the most interesting people I’ve ever met in my life,’” he laughs. “No one adjective is sufficient. He is all those things: a raconteur, a good old boy, a @#$%kicker, a joke teller, a friendly guy, an ice-cold guy, a mean-spirited guy, a domineering force, a graceful man. The more I started reading about that, the more fascinated I was with him.” Yes, All the Way features well-known Johnson traits and moments: the tugged beagle ears, the penchant for obscenities and epithets, the colorful instructions for his tailor, the infamous “Daisy” ad. But its — and Cranston’s — real achievement is embracing Johnson’s peerless skills as a politician. Though he himself was hobbled by insecurities rooted in his mother’s mercurial moods, that psychological minefield also left Johnson a masterful social scientist with an uncanny ability to read people and prod their egos and tender spots to get what he wanted. He took just 11 months to expand Kennedy’s New Frontier dreams into his own Great Society legislation, knowing it was all the time he had to convince America to go “all the way with LBJ” in the ’64 election. “If you look at what he accomplished — civil rights, Medicare, Medicaid, fair housing, education and consumer protection — all of those things that we are still arguing about in 2016, he started in 1964,” Schenkkan says of his inspiration for the story. The film also reveals that Johnson was no political opportunist. He deeply understood the need for racial equality, thanks to his first job — teaching first grade in a classroom filled with eager Mexican immigrant children. “There would come a day for every one of them that I would see the light in their eyes die — because they had discovered that the world hated them, just because of the color of their skin,” Johnson tells reporters in one pointed scene. “If a president can’t do what he knows is right, then what is the presidency for?” “I don’t think without that experience he would’ve gone to the mat and risked his presidency and his legacy over the Civil Rights Act in 1964,” Cranston says. “If Kennedy had not been killed, there would not have been such a significant civil rights act — I’m convinced of it. Historians that I’ve talked to are HM

convinced of that. ... That landmark legislation was able to turn the tide in this country and end the Jim Crow laws.” To make it so, Johnson perfected a dazzling persuasive tactic known as “the Johnson treatment” — a skill All the Way mines for comic and dramatic gold. One that proved particularly useful with a pair of powerful men on opposite sides of the political spectrum — civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (an elegant Anthony Mackie) and Johnson’s political mentor, Georgia Sen. Richard Russell (Frank Langella, a quiet storm). Russell — whom the Johnson family called Uncle Dick — was among the Southern segregationist Democrats known

HE IS all those things: a raconteur, a good old boy, A @#$%KICKER, a joke teller, A FRIENDLY GUY, an icecold guy, A MEAN-SPIRITED GUY, a domineering force, A GRACEFUL MAN. — Bryan Cranston on LBJ as Dixiecrats. In the film, the men label the passage of civil rights legislation “the gravest possible assault on the U.S. Constitution,” though Russell worries his peers’ shameless bluster invites them to be dismissed as “a bunch of redneck goons.” But with the White House at stake, Russell prods Johnson to choose party loyalty over personal conviction, then forces the president’s hand, sending Johnson into a whirlwind of political gamesmanship that is the heart of All the Way. “This ain’t about the Constitution — it’s about those who got more wanting to hang onto it at the expense of those who got nothing. And feel good about it,” he tells his patient missus, Lady Bird (Melissa Leo, who does much with little screen time). Johnson and King openly distrust each other, but clearly grasp the shared task at hand, that each operates in multiple worlds and that oftentimes baby steps would have to do to end the injustice around them. Even when it appears to Johnson’s party faithful and King’s fellow civil rights leaders that they’re betraying them. “The Voting Rights Act of ’65 was the crown jewel,” Cranston says. “Johnson knew it could not be part of the Civil Rights Act. Because everybody knew once that happens, once [African-Americans] had this unfettered path to voting, there would be a seismic shift in politics — and he was right. “With growth, there’s pain,” Cranston reflects. “Some people put it that in order to have a breakthrough, you have to have a breakdown. Our society during the ’60s broke down and it had to be rebuilt with a stronger foundation. So we shouldn’t be too alarmed by a societal breakdown — because it creates opportunity. We haven’t seen an election like [2016] ever, really. We’ve had the outsider from time to time, but never such oppression and narcissism and chest-beating. It’s like, oh my God! We’ve regressed! But I choose to remain hopeful.” All the Way > HBO > May 21

What’s New

The ORIGINAL • ABC originally aired the eightpart miniseries Roots, based on the iconic novel by Alex Haley, on Jan. 23-30, 1977.

• The miniseries was watched by an estimated 130 million people, and an average of 85 percent of American homes saw all or part of the series. • LeVar Burton, who played Kunta Kinte, was only 19 years old when the series aired. • O.J. Simpson had a small part as an African tribesman.

The Epic Saga Gets A Powerful New Adaptation. By Jeff Pfeiffer

Roots, based on Alex Haley’s novel, was first produced for television in 1977, when the epic, eightpart miniseries went on to gain huge audiences (its finale still ranks as the No. 3 highest-rated episode of television) and launch a star in LeVar Burton, who played the iconic character of Kunta Kinte. In History’s exceptional four-part retelling of Roots, it is into Burton’s memorable shoes that actor Malachi Kirby now steps as Kunta, the initial, and overarching, protagonist in a story that leads from 1750 Africa, to the slave trade and plantation life, and beyond the Civil War. Although this new miniseries also features more established acting names like Forest Whitaker (who is terrific as Fiddler), Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Anna Paquin and Laurence Fishburne, it is the young Kirby who carries the brunt of the early episodes in an incredible, Emmy-worthy performance (Roots and his upcoming role in the popular Netflix series Black Mirror should do wonders in establishing the British actor with American audiences). It’s even more incredible given how nervous he was at the outset of the project. “Definitely,” Kirby laughed, when asked if he was intimidated by taking on this role. “I had seen the original about three years prior to me [auditioning for] it, and I didn’t have any idea how to go about telling the story again and doing it justice. [It] put me in a position where I didn’t want to even try to recreate what LeVar had done, but more so to try and

find my own interpretation of it.” Burton is a co-executive producer on this incarnation of Roots, and Kirby said it was about a month into shooting before the two men met. “That was surreal,” recalled Kirby. “I don’t know if you can ever really have that experience of meeting an actor who’s already played the character that you’re about to play and gone on the journey of that character. I felt a lot of love.” The journey of the character of Kunta Kinte, as anyone familiar with the story knows, is a brutal one. He is taken from his life in Africa and thrust into the trans-Atlantic slave trade, then subjected to the harsh life of the plantation in America’s antebellum South. No work of fiction will ever be able to fully capture the abject horror of the lives that slaves faced, but Roots gives us terrifying glimpses in harrowing scenes that probably would have been too intense for 1977 television in terms of violence and language — from the grueling middle passage to the famous scene where Kunta is beaten into (at least outwardly) accepting his slave name, and more. Kirby admitted that those scenes were tough to perform, on many levels. “There were a few scenes that I needed to not speak to anyone afterwards,” he said. “Especially the ship scenes. For me personally, this role challenged me in every single way imaginable — physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally. It took me to my depths and more.” Roots > History > May 30-June 2

hat would happen if God checked out of heaven and went on the lam? That’s exactly what transpires in AMC’s new Preacher. Based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s 1990s comic series, Preacher centers on Rev. Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper, Agent Carter), a world-weary, cig-smoking, smokin’ hot Texas padre who, in one strange moment at the pulpit, is possessed of a godlike power that causes God to go AWOL. And renders Jesse the only one who can track the big guy down and hold him responsible for what ensues. Along for the ride: Jesse’s ballsy ex Tulip (just try to take your eyes off the gorgeous Ruth Negga) and liquor-loving, skull-cracking vampire Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun). Preacher superfans Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (Superbad) teamed up with Ennis and Breaking Bad writer/ producer Sam Catlin — and together, they defied the raft of heavy hitters who took a shot at adapting it for the big screen, and six months later, presented a gorgeous, gory thrill ride of a series to AMC. “It’s definitely a show that probably couldn’t have been made five, six years ago,” says Catlin. “It’s really out there. … Garth’s world has so many different notes in it — violence and romance, perverse humor, action, and then also, like, people talking about God. It’s a lot to HM

wrestle into a whole. But that’s the fun of it, for sure.” You’ve read the comic book? Great! (Arseface arrives in the premiere.) Never heard of it? That’s fine, too. (Wait till you meet Arseface!) “What we want to do in Season 1 is see Jesse as a preacher, see this guy with these incredible dark impulses and supernatural abilities and tangled history still try to be a spiritual sheriff to this little town in West Texas,” says Catlin. “We really love the idea of elaborating on Garth’s Western law vibe of the comic itself, and localizing things in this little West Texas town of Annville was a great place to start. I wouldn’t say there’s anything in Garth’s comic books that we’re leaving out — it’s just a question of when we get to it.” But fair warning, newbies. Though they’ll probably want to see it, like Breaking Bad, this one’s definitely not for the bedtime set. “We have different kinds of violence in the show,” Catlin explains. “When Jesse fights, it’s usually pretty real. When some of the other characters fight, it can become sort of ridiculous. It’s something we always have to calibrate. But it’s all part of this story of outlaws and vampires, vigilantes, demons and angels that’s the world of Preacher. It’s a bloody, gory, silly, perverse, dark mess.” One Catlin knows could stir up

some serious ire. “Everyone has opinions about God and religion, which is, to me, what’s fun about it,” he says. “We have characters that take God and religion very seriously and are very devout. But then we have others who are just like, ‘This is just all a pile of horse@#$%.’ We’re not oppressive with religion, but we’re not dismissive of religion either. What’s great about Garth’s comic is he’s taken this old idea — man’s search for God — into, like, the literal sense. God as a fugitive. ‘We’re going to hunt down God. Like a posse for God, we’re going to hunt him down!’ That’s what’s so fresh and so crazy about the comic. It’s a great opportunity for us.” And the answer to adventurous TV lovers’ summer-series prayers. Preacher > AMC > Sundays beginning May 22

HOUDINI & DOYLE

Michael Weston Unlocks History’s Oddest Friendship. By Kellie Freeze FOX’s newest mystery/adventure drama Houdini & Doyle is inspired by true events and one of history’s most unlikely friendships. The series follows real-life friends Harry Houdini (Michael Weston) and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Stephen Mangan) in fantastical (and faux) adventures as they join forces with New Scotland Yard’s first female constable (Rebecca Liddiard) to investigate supernatural cases. The premise of the duo moonlighting as superstar sleuths requires some suspension of disbelief, but it has a mix of mirth, mysticism and murder we’d liken to an old-timey X-Files. In the early 1900s, Houdini was one of the biggest celebrities in the world. Weston has dubbed him “the Elvis of his day,” explaining that “he occupied a really special spot in our, sort of, consciousness, and also in our history. He has this sort of comparable sense of freedom about him, of having really stamped out, and actualized, the American dream.” Weston likes to imagine the effect that Houdini must have had on his audience. “I think as they watched this guy escape from this tank, it challenged everything that they thought was real. And it gave them the sense of liberation and, I think, real empowerment.” If Houdini was his era’s Elvis, then Doyle, the creator of the beloved character Sherlock Holmes, may have been his generation’s J.K. Rowling. But while the men shared superstar status, their personalities were polar opposites. Houdini tried to debunk psychics as fraudsters and Doyle, despite

18

his scientific and pragmatic mind, was a firm believer in the supernatural. The irony isn’t lost on executive producer David N. Titcher. “You had Doyle, who created the most skeptical character — ever — who is a believer in everything paranormal, and Houdini, who was a magician who is the most skeptical person alive. And they were friends.” But Weston believes that the men were friends not despite their differences, but because of them. “I feel like these guys needed each other,” he says, noting that each man’s massive fame isolated him from many peers, and that their friendship was contentious and competitive. He continues, “They needed each other’s respect, and they needed each other’s friendship, and they thrive in that challenge.” Weston admits that, prior to the project, “I had a very thin knowledge of who [Houdini] was,” and shares that getting to know the man has been almost as fun as learning his methods. One thing that shocked Weston to learn was “he was a total mama’s boy! Here’s this guy — he could do these deathdefying acts, and show himself with this meticulous nature that he had for all of the tricks that he learned, and for all of the daredevil escapes that he did,” says Weston. “And at heart, he was a super-sensitive mama’s boy.” Weston won’t break the magician’s code and reveal any of Houdini’s secrets, but he shares a newfound admiration for magic and magicians. And when asked about newly learned tricks that he can demonstrate, Weston laughs. “I can hide a coin pretty fast. I can produce a card all right.” Houdini & Doyle > FOX > Mondays beginning May 2 HM

he play’s the thing in The Dresser. King Lear, to be exact. And whether — apologies, Hamlet — it is to be or not to be. This month, Starz brings The Dresser to TV audiences in its first ever original film, based on the Ronald Harwood play. The Dresser follows Sir (Sir Anthony Hopkins), an embittered, once-famous actor whose star has faded to twilight in a local Shakespeare troupe. As Sir’s anger and despair get the better of him — and World War II rages across England — Sir’s faithful dresser Norman (Sir Ian McKellen) tries to ensure that Lear (and its star) will go on. The Dresser marks the first time

Hopkins and McKellen have worked together, and they talked about it at a recent press event. “I had a pretty bad history in the theater,” Hopkins revealed. “I left the National Theatre in a dark cloud; I said, ‘To hell with you all.’ That was my nature then. But it moved me out, and I found another life. When I read the play The Dresser, and I got news Sir Richard [Eyre] was going to direct it and Ian was going to play the dresser, I thought, I know how to do this, and I know how to do Lear now, after all these years. I knew I was going to crack it.” Both men found inspiration — and catharsis — in the material.

“I was always intrigued by what particular nature it is that makes actors want to act,” Hopkins mused. “Why do they want to do Shakespeare? Why do they — night after night after night — go onstage and repeat the same performances over and over and over? The Dresser more or less answers that: that you have to go half-mad to survive that kind of life.” “And, if you, as an outsider, want to know what it feels like to be in a dressing room and a desperate performance is minutes away,” McKellen chimes in, “this play tells you exactly what it’s like.” The Dresser > Starz > May 30

While Gabby and her grandmother live in Ohio, where Gabby trains, the rest of her family remains in California, where they juggle their own successful lives with supporting the sporting superstar. And with “Team Douglas” backing her every backflip, we hope by summer’s end the delightful athlete will have more gold to add to her collection.

ou’d better be willing to put in some serious sweat equity before even thinking of asking Cameron Davies for his financial support. Davies, owner of Cruising Kitchens and mentor/investor on Discovery Channel’s new Blue Collar Backers, is one of a handful of investors who are sharing their personal experiences and pocketbooks to help budding entrepreneurs make their dreams of owning a business a reality. “For a small business to make it these days, you have to work your ass off, and it’s not just 40-hour workweeks,” Davies says. “I work 90 hours a week right now. So I have to know that my partners are going to be as involved in this project as I am.”

M. Night Shyamalan’s psychological thriller returns

PENNY DREADFUL Patti LuPone Returns As Series Regular In New Season That Also Introduces Dr. Jekyll. By Jeff Pfeiffer

S WAYWARD PINES Jason Patric Awakens In TV’s Most Terrifying Town.

By Kellie Freeze In last season’s summer surprise Wayward Pines, fans got engrossed in a twisty and suspense-filled journey that featured an all-star cast and one of TV’s most gripping plot questions: What in the heck is going on? Over the course of 10 shocking episodes, the series revealed closely held secrets about the mysterious town, including Wayward Pines’ status as a bastion against the flesheating aberrations (a.k.a. abbies) that humanity has evolved into and mankind’s last hope for survival. Now, in Season 2, the mystery deepens with some of last season’s cast — including Terrence Howard, Carla Gugino, Melissa Leo and Toby Jones — returning, but with their characters shifting to supporting roles. Season 1 actors Tom Stevens and Hope Davis will see their characters elevated to the plot’s center, along with new stars Jason Patric and Djimon Hounsou. We spoke with Patric, and he explained that when his character, Dr. Theo Yedlin, wakes from suspended animation, he finds himself thrust into a raging civil war. Patric thinks it’s a pretty exciting way to introduce a character, saying, “All of a sudden, he HM

wakes up in a room, and they tell him that he needs to follow them because he has to operate on someone. … His last memory was he was at a tropical hotel with his wife.” Patric says that Theo struggles to understand and accept his strange surroundings; viewers who are new to the series will learn alongside Theo as he makes his own discoveries. “That element of surprise will still be in play,” he says and notes, “and if you’re already a fan of the show, it’ll be interesting to see, ‘Oh, boy, what happens when he gets it?’” And because the series is based on bestsellers by Blake Crouch and executive produced by cinema’s master of suspense M. Night Shyamalan, you can bet that moment will be mind-blowing, as Patric promises that the story has myriad plot twists and turns yet to uncover. The actor also feels that this season is a fitting follow-up to the last, saying, “Once your mind is blown, if you’re invested in characters, you go, ‘Oh my God, what happens next?’ Well, this is what happens next.”

howtime’s dark drama Penny Dreadful is packing in the scares as it enters its third season. The psychological, supernatural thriller brings Patti LuPone back, this time as a series regular. You may remember LuPone in a guest-starring role as the Cut-Wife last season, but her new character is different. She now plays Dr. Seward, an American therapist who treats Vanessa (Eva Green) with an unconventional new approach. Along with LuPone, Wes Studi joins the cast in a regular role as Kaetenay, a Native American with a deep connection to Ethan (Josh Hartnett), who also becomes an ally to Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton). Fans of Victorian horror literature will be glad to hear that the series has finally added Dr. Henry Jekyll to the story, portrayed by Shazad Latif. Of course, where there’s Dr. Jekyll, it’s pretty likely that his less-better half, Mr. Hyde, may not be far behind. In addition to its standard premiere, Season 3 of Penny Dreadful will also debut On Demand and online.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE “Dance Moms” Star Maddie Ziegler To Judge “The Next Generation.” By Lori Acken

The USA Network Series Will Reach Its 100thEpisode Milestone During Final Season. By Jeff Pfeiffer

A

lthough newer USA Network series like Mr. Robot have grabbed more of the spotlight over the years, Royal Pains has steadily been a tried-and-true audience favorite for the channel. The drama series begins its eighth and final season this month. “It’s with great sadness, but even greater thankfulness, that we prepare for our final summer sunsets as Royal Pains comes to an end,” said co-creator and executive producer Andrew Lenchewski and executive producer Michael Rauch in a release. USA says that the final season, along with featuring the show’s 100th episode midway through, will explore pivotal life decisions for everyone at HankMed. Hank (Mark Feuerstein) in particular must decide if his professional fulfillment equals his personal fulfillment. Meanwhile, Evan (Paulo Costanzo) and Paige (Brooke D’Orsay) endure challenging marital decisions and must examine what family really means to them. Season 8 will feature a special musical episode gueststarring Christine Ebersole and Cloris Leachman, while influential patients and characters from the past will also turn up throughout the season. It will certainly be sad for fans to say goodbye, but they may agree with what the producers also said, in a reference to the show’s upscale setting: “We’ll always have the Hamptons.” Royal Pains > USA Network > Wednesdays beginning May 18

So You Think You Can Dance > FOX > Mondays beginning May 30

ROYAL PAINS

When So You Think You Can Dance returns on Memorial Day, look for a SYTYCD superfan beside Nigel Lythgoe, Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo at the judges’ table. Thirteen-year-old Dance Moms standout Maddie Ziegler joins the long-running FOX hit as it welcomes its first season of child dancers. Dubbed “The Next Generation,” Season 13 features kids ages 8-13 displaying their chops in a variety of dance styles, hoping to score a spot at “The Academy.” There, the field narrows to the 10 best young performers, who will partner with SYTYCD “AllStars” to compete in-studio for the judges — and the Season 13 title. “It definitely will be cool because they’re in my shoes of what I usually do and when I compete and when I get judges’ feedback,” says Ziegler, literally a lifelong fan of the show. “It’s going to be weird for me being on the other side of it, not being the one being judged, but it’s going to be so much fun.” Ziegler knows that giving the dancers some tough love is part of the gig, too — but, she says, if they approach it with the right attitude, “honestly, it is really amazing, and it’s a good experience. It’s going to prepare them for auditions when they’re older.” Ziegler, meanwhile, has parlayed her worldwide fame into a newfound passion for acting. She’ll make her feature film debut later this year opposite Naomi Watts and Room standout Jacob Tremblay in The Book of Henry. And though she’s done with Dance Moms, Ziegler says its controversial star, Abby Lee Miller, is proud of her. “I think she really enjoys watching me dance a little bit more than acting, because dancing is her thing,” Ziegler admits. “But she’s definitely happy for me.”

The 100th Indy 500 Marks A Major Motorsports Month. By Ryan A. Berenz Take on a set of four new tires and a full tank of fuel to make it through the greatest month on the motorsports calendar: Verizon IndyCar Series It’s all about the Brickyard for the IndyCar Series this month, beginning with the Grand Prix of Indianapolis (ABC, May 14) on Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s combined road course. IndyCar gears up for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing with Indy 500 Qualifying May 21-22 (ABC). The Memorial Day weekend tradition hits triple digits with the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 May 29 (ABC). The first Indy 500 was held in 1911, but because the race was not held during World Wars I and II, the 100th running occurs in 2016.

Formula One It will be early to bed, early to rise for F1 fans, with three Sunday morning races this month, including the crown jewel of international motorsports. The Russian Grand Prix in Sochi moves from October to May 1 (NBCSN) this year, followed by the Spanish Grand Prix at Circuit de BarcelonaCatalunya May 15 (NBCSN). On May 29, F1 returns to one of the most famous and scenic courses, the Circuit de Monaco, for the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix live on NBC. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series The Cup Series schedule is stacked in May with visits to Talladega (FOX, May 1), Kansas (FS1, May 7) and Dover (FS1, May 15). Then it’s off to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the non-points Sprint Showdown and Sprint All-Star Race in primetime (FS1, May 20-21). The May 29 motorsports marathon concludes at Charlotte with the Coca-Cola 600 in primetime on FOX.
