Fox greenlit a show that blends courtroom drama with multiple universes. A woman's caught between a reality in which she's a trial lawyer, and one in which she's on trial. Fox also recently approved a "supernatural" show from Glee's creator. More »

Three new promos for NBC's mysteries-within-wheels-within-cheese show The Event are making me get my hopes up. It's got the paranoia and intrigue, but more than that, it seems like this show is actually going to move. More »
