Mercury News.com caught up with former The Young and the Restless star Shemar Moore, who was on a location shoot for Criminal Minds, his hit CBS crime drama, and asked about his time on soaps. He responded,
I've had a lot of success in 16 years, but in some ways it still feels brand-new because there's still so much I haven't done," he says. "I treat my career like school. The soap opera days were like high school. I got my diploma and graduated."Now I'm in college, and hopefully I'll go to grad school (feature films) and catch the bus with Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith and the others."
Neil Patrick Harris will be singing another tune, but this time as a guest on FOX's breakout series Glee, according to E Online's Watch with Kristin.
Hold on to your track pants, Sue Sylvester! 'Cause one solid Glee insider tells me that Neil is playing a character who is "really funny and really mean." I'm told he will be "much more of the Dr. Horrible variety than Doogie Howser, M.D."
The Hollywood Reporter is predicting the odds of which "on the bubble" network shows will return next fall. They include critical ratings challenged darlings, one-time hits, freshman series and pretty much every scripted drama on NBC that isn't a member of the Law & Order franchise.
Which of The Hollywood Reporter's "on the bubble" series do you want to return next fall?
Glee's Cinderella story. The musical dramedy raked in four Golden Globe nominations on Tuesday. Fox's freshman series was nominated for Best Television Series (Comedy or Musical) and landed Best Acting nominations for Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele and a Best Supporting Actress nomination for Jane Lynch. Hot on the heels of Dexter's shocking season finale, and record breaking ratings come nominations for its star Michael C. Hall and his onscreen nemesis John Lithgow. Glee wasn't the only new series to land a Golden Globe nomination. ABC's Modern Family also received one.
The Golden Globes, which give out awards in both TV and film, also showed the love to George Clooney's Up in the Air. It garnered six nominations. Rob Marshall's highly anticipated Nine earned five nominations, while James Cameron's upcoming blockbuster Avatar earned four. Summer hits District 9 and Inglourious Basterds also earned nominations. Comedian and Precious star Mo'Nique received a Best Supporting Actress nomination. Woody Harrelson, who starred in Zombieland and played an important role in 2012, earned recognition for his work in The Messenger. Sandra Bullock capped off a standout year with a Best Actress (Musical or Comedy) nod for her role in The Proposal and a Best Actress (Drama) nod for The Blind Side.

It's not always easy choosing the "worst" show on a network like CBS, which has such a reliable stable of shows. However, of this fall's CBS lineup Gary Unmarried is my pick. I've tried to enjoy this sitcom, but I just can't. If I'm unlucky enough to end up watching it, by the time the 8PM CST hour rolls around I couldn't be more ready to switch to ABC's Modern Family or Fox's Glee.

Which CBS series was the worst this fall?
We continue our look back at the 2009 fall TV season with its new and returning series, by focusing on CBS and its procedural heavy lineup. I've thoroughly enjoyed How I Met Your Mother for years, but this summer I fell in love with The Big Bang Theory while it was in rerurns and couldn't wait for it to return with fresh episodes in the fall. I was not disappointed.
