TRAILER: "The Walking Dead" Season 5

Walking Dead fans rejoice! One of the most popular shows on TV is coming back October 12th, and Comic-Con put out a long, very detailed trailer for the upcoming fifth season. Lots of zombie action as usual (I suspect that's really the only part of the show people actually like, since most of the humans are pretty dull). But if you're a fan, mark your calendars. It seems like they always try to bring this back as close to Halloween as possible. That's probably intentional, huh?

TEASER: "Homeland" Season 4

We have a premiere date for the fourth season of Homeland, along with a new teaser and poster. Now all that's left is to see how Brody's exit from the show can maybe rejuvenate the series in some way. It's certainly going to have to become a different kind of animal, but maybe that's a good thing. Carrie's stationed in Pakistan this season and joined by new addition Corey Stoll and the stalwart Rupert Friend, and it looks like she's as unstable as ever. Homeland comes back October 5th on Showtime.

Elaine Stritch 1925-2014

Broadway legend Elaine Stritch died today at the age of 89. Best known for her decades of work on stage, but she also made regular appearances on television since the 1950's, both in America and on British TV. Most recently she became an Emmy winner for third time for her recurring guest role as Alec Baldwin's mother on 30 Rock (2007-2012). She appeared in occasional movie roles in her later years, notably Monster-in-Law with Jane Fonda, but it was always her stage work for which she was most known. She was nominated for five Tony awards and inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1995.

TEASER: "The Fall" Season 2

I can't wait for this! The Fall was a British drama series that aired just five episodes last spring, but it was sooo good. It streamed on Netflix at the same time, so you should check it out if you can. It's creepy, but well worth your time. Gillian Anderson is an Irish detective tracking a serial killer (Jame Dornan), but on this show we get everything from her's and the killer's perspective, as we see how he fools his wife, his boss and the people around him. I thought I wouldn't be able to handle the ick factor but it's nowhere near as graphic as something like Hannibal. It's much more of a psychological, meticulous show (it's probably way too slow for some people, actually). It's returning this fall some time, but as you can see, no exact premiere date yet.
