... The Vampire Diaries
(Thursday, 8/7c, The CW)
From the guilty-pleasure column on TV's most overcrowded night, this supernatural fun factory finds Stefan and Elena plotting a getaway at her family's lake house, but naturally someone's lurking around to interrupt their bliss. It's not as if there isn't plenty else brewing: like Jules clueing in wolf-boy Tyler about the sun-and-moon curse, or Damon crashing a tea (!) to milk some info from the powerful Elijah, or good witch Bonnie plotting with vamp friend Caroline and emo Jeremy to get intel out of Luka. Never a quiet day (or night) in Mystic Falls.
Cast includes Jason O'Mara, Stephen Lang, Mido Hamada, Allison Miller, Christine Adams and Shelley Conn. Steven Spielberg is one of the Executive Producers on the series.

TV veteran John Larroquette (we always loved him on "Night Court") returns to NBC's spy caper as womanizing CIA instructor Roan Montgomery. Roan has been captured in Morocco, so Chuck, Sarah, and Casey head over there to rescue him. You'd think the CIA would hire instructors who know how not to get captured, no?

RADIO TIMES: Being Human's Russell Tovey - George the werewolf
Interview by Claire Webb
... Q: Why do you think it's such a hit?
RT: "Whatever you do sci-fi has an audience, even if it's the worst thing ever. But Being Human is about people trying to be human, not supernatural - and that's the thing that viewers really get. It's funny, dark and there's so much going on that it satisfies all tastes. That's why my parents love it and my parents' friends all love it, and why it got the highest AI [audience appreciation index] of any BBC show ever..."
Being Human (UK) season three premieres in the US on BBC America on Saturday, February 19 at 9/8C.
