And in case you havent done your summer assignment (which was to catch up on show! ), you fail. Two words: Abed Batman. Two more words: The Beastmaster. BRIE: [It] was the first episode where all the characters came together. It will give you a really clear sense of who everyone is and whats going on with everyone....

the two-man band is ready for TV stardom. Clement and McKenzie spoke to EW about dayjobs, girlfriends, and Daryl Hall. We usually have one big awkward scene every show. Credit: Nicole Rivelli I wouldnt say its exactly likeThe OfficeorCurb Your Enthusiasm, where its all awkward, all the way. But theres always some element of that.BRET MCKENZIE:Its a difficult thing to describe. Its a musical comedy. Looking at the edits, Id say there are large portions of improvised stuff....

These are the Non-Nominees. Why It Wasnt Nominated:Viewed from one perspective,Contagionlooks like pure Oscar bait. Heres a movie from an Academy Award-winning director, featuring the aforementioned decorated cast. And the Academy is no stranger to big-cast films recallCrash. ButContagionnever even seems to have been on the Academys radar. Part of that is attributable to the director. Not that Soderbergh seems to particularly care. In the former category, you findThe Girlfriend Experience,Solaris, and theCheduology....

It also stars Minnie Driver, Melissa Leo, and Peter Gallagher. (And woah…check out Juliette Lewis nasty rotten teef at 1:12!) Swank famously beat Bening twice before: first in 2000 forBoys Dont Cryvs. BeningsAmerican Beauty,then in 2005 forMillion Dollar Babyvs.Being Julia. Obviously, its absurdly early to be making any real assessment of howConvictionwill fare with the Academy. But anyway, check out the trailer and share your first impressions ofConviction. Oscar contender or Lifetime movie-of-the-week?...

(EW readers likely have heard the news.) And what Ihopewill happen is what always happened onScrubswhen they brought it back. The next week, the gap would be closed. Credit: Simon Russell/Getty Images Were such an immediate culture that you immediately read on blogs is, Its dead! I read that aboutScrubsfor four years in a row, he says. So were taking a shot. One of my writer friends joked, If this doesnt work out youre going to feel like an idiot....

(Prince Charles!) The groom-to-be doesnotget a say. But perhaps the most important task was for Jules to select a maid of honor. Credit: Eric McCandless/ABC Naturally, she asked Ellie. But our dear Jelly Bean wanted the job, too. Laurie asked Jules if she could havetwomaids of honor, or co-MOHs. (And youre right, Laurie. Its a total T saver. But in this recap we have time for all the words!) Man, people-pleasing is hard....

I imagine last nights episode ofCougar Townwas pretty polarizing for fans. Some of you, myself included, are all aboard the Laurie/Travis romance train. And others are wholeheartedly against it. Credit: Randy Holmes/ABC Hurricane Mary wasa-brewin, so naturally Jules & Co. were planning a hurricane party. Theyre like adult snow days. You dont have to go to work. You drink and play games! So just like every other day for our favorite cul-de-sac crew, but with wind!...

Everybody cheers with your personal Big Carl/Joe/[insert name here]! And yeah, its still calledCougar Town. Were not happy about it either, so said the title card. Credit: Richard Foreman/ABC And since youre reading this, Im guessing you are too. So lets get right to it. In true Laurie style, over the hiatus our little Jelly Bean got into a brawl during an Eat. She was then forced to wear an ankle monitor....

Courteney Cox set down Big Carl long enough to stepbehindthe camera as director of tonights episode ofCougar Town. She and costar Josh Hopkins spoke with EW about her directing role and shared a few season 3 spoilers. Cox said that timing was everything when she decided when to take over the directing reins. Credit: Richard Cartwright/ABC It was perfect timing. Id already done it, so it was not that big of a deal, she said....

Cougar Townis really on a roll this season. And last nights A One Story Town was easily the best episode yet. I guess good things really do come to people who wait nine months for their favorite show to return. Credit: Richard Cartwright/ABC Only this foolproof scheme of theirs is only in Harrys head, and actually still in the planning stage. Unsurprisingly, Bobby had managed to torpedo their budding relationship right into the crapper....

After a tumultuous year in TV scheduling limbo,Cougar Townfinally concludes its third season tonight on ABC. In the special hour-long finale My Life/Your World, Jules and Grayson (spoiler alert!) finally tie the knot. Credit: Eric McCandless/ABC In tonights episode, they take on Bill Murrays cult-classicGroundhog Day. (And thats something Ellie doesnt want to ever relive.) Travis and Laurie: Will they or wont they? I wont spoil everything! Thepolarizing Travis/Laurie relationshipgets even more flirtatious in tonights episode....

After a way-too-long hiatus, our favorite cul-de-sac crew is back for a fifth season. And this weeks title card stated what everyone was already thinking: Season Five? Didnt see that coming. Credit: Darren Michaels/TBS But the little show that could is still going strong, and Ill gladly pound some grape to that! The premiere episode, All or Nothin,' picked up where season 4 left off. The gang returned from their vacation to L....
