Tonight on the Tube: So You Think You Can Dance & Tyler Perry’s House of Payne

News & Notes

In recent interview news, the Kyra Sedgwick Q&A went up yesterday. Also, yesterday’s conference call with Robert Picardo and executive producer Joseph Mallozzi of Stargate Atlantis was the longest call I’ve ever been on. The Q&A portion of the call lasted just over 90-minutes. I think I will be posting it as a two or three part series. Otherwise, you would just scroll forever trying to read it. Thanks to all who sent in questions, I think you’ll find that whether I asked them or not, many of them were answered by the end of the call. As a preview, many people wanted to know about Torri Higginson and whether Dr. Elizabeth Weir will be back? She will not, but it sounded like it was her decision not to return, as they had put together a storyline and even written an episode for her.
