The moment Alaska governor Sarah Palin first came to the world stage as John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential elections, we knew that her larger-than-life personality would become the stuff of parody and portrayal from years to come. Once we finished laughing at Tina Fey's dead-on impression, the tone turned serious as HBO's 'Game Change' garnered multiple Emmys with Julianne Moore in the lead role.
Now, the original 'Game Change' writers have begun work on a sequel covering the 2012 elections between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, titled 'Double Down: Game Change 2012,' and guess what HBO wants to do with it?
Sure, we were sad to hear that ABC opted not to renew 'Last Resort,' which maintained relatively meager rating in its initial run despite being recieved as one of the better offerings of the season.

The one-time 'Terminator 2' star will return to Bon Temps as Jackson Herveaux, father to Alcide and newly minted series regular, but does that mean the werewolves will have a bigger story?
Early last week HBO finally lifted the veil on the coming second season of 'Girls,' utilizing the season's first trailer to offer new looks at characters played by Donald Glover, Rita Wilson and Patrick Wilson as well as our regular favorites Hannah, Jessa, Marnie and Shoshanna.

Mike Judge has made a business of defining generations, be they high-school burnouts listening to metal like 'Beavis and Butthead,' 'Office Space' workers listening to their bosses drone on about T.P.S. reports, or even future generations of an 'Idiocracy' that nourished its crops with a sports drink believed to mutilate their thirst. This time, however, Judge is headed back to TV with HBO to define the 'Silicon Valley' generation, so what fresh spin could the 'King of the Hill' creator bring?
For as much drama as HBO's 'The Newsroom' creates around Jeff Daniels' Will McAvoy and his supporting players, it's easy to forget that the show roots itself in real-life news events by keeping a timeline several months behind our own. Previously, we'd heard of a few guest stars joining the second season of HBO's buzzy Aaron Sorkin drama, but the latest confirms that former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney will play a large role in season 2! So, are you ready to meet our new recurring cast member, a link to the famous one-percenter?
Last night's 'Boardwalk Empire' finale "Margate Sands" was notably light on major character deaths, but certaily packed a lot of punch to wrap up the season.
