June 29, 2009 by Chandra

Wedding Day: A New Day, A New Episode, and A New Couple
June 25, 2009 by Chandra
The second episode of TNT’s new reality series Wedding Day airs at 8pm ET tonight, June 25, which is a new time slot for the series. It debuted last Tuesday at 8pm before fellow newcomer HawthoRNe, and I’m betting the change has to do with the reality show’s relatively lower ratings. If you’re hooked already, however, remain grateful that unlike some broadcast networks, basic cable’s TNT will probably allow the series to air all ten of its ordered episodes.
The latest installment of Wedding Day presents the touching story of Michigan-based couple Jaénelle Burnette and Nykolas “Nyk” Jones. Parents of a beautiful infant daughter named Anayah, the couple had to delay their original wedding plans when the baby arrived early with a kidney that didn’t function properly.
Saving Grace: 'She's a Lump' Preview
June 23, 2009 by Chandra
After a fine and moving start last week during the Season Three premiere “We’re Already Here,” tonight (June 23) TNT presents the latest new episode of Saving Grace called “She’s a Lump.”
Details follow the jump.
HawthoRNe: 'Healing Time' Preview
June 23, 2009 by Chandra
It’s another day and another round of crises on “Healing Time,” the second episode of TNT’s new Jada Pinkett Smith medical drama HawthoRNe.
Some — okay, many — television writers are bashing the show for various reasons, the most common being that it’s not a darkly humorous, hip-aspiring clone of Showtime’s new Edie Falco medical comedy Nurse Jackie.
But why should it have to be? After viewing tonight’s (June 23) episode in advance, I’m enjoying the series more than I did during the pilot.
The Closer: Mary McDonnell Arrives on 'Red Tape'
June 22, 2009 by Chandra
Oh, no. It’s a bad news, good news situation on “Red Tape,” tonight’s (June 22) brand-new episode of TNT’s crime series The Closer.
More information after the jump.
Saving Grace: 'We're Already Here' Season Premiere
One thing I’ve always said about TNT’s Saving Grace is that the show is very much an acquired taste. That’s the trait that kept me from liking the cop drama for more than a season, and once I forced myself to give it a second chance and sit through an entire episode, that’s the trait that also made it grow on me. Fortunately, Holly Hunter’s Grace Hanadarko and her familiar Oklahoma City Police Department colleagues are still chugging along on the fine line between irritating and gripping during tonight’s (June 16) Season Three premiere “We’re Already Here.”
Jada Pinkett Smith Is 'HawthoRNe'
June 16, 2009 by Chandra
Film actress Jada Pinkett Smith both stars in and executive produces the medical drama HawthoRNe, TNT’s latest original series aimed at expanding the network’s reputation as an outlet for TV shows featuring strong and complicated female leads.
Smith plays the title character, Christina Hawthorne, the Chief Nursing Officer at Virginia’s Richmond Trinity Hospital. She’s also a recently widowed single mother of a difficult teenage daughter named Camille (Hannah Hodson) following her late husband’s death from cancer one year ago.
Wedding Day: TNT's First Reality Series Arrives
June 16, 2009 by Chandra
TNT has a dramatic night of premieres in store for viewers today (June 16), and kicking it all off at 8pm ET is the basic-cable network’s first-ever unscripted series Wedding Day. The newcomer has prestigious backers — Mark Burnett Productions and DreamWorks Television — and a prominent pair of hosts, upscale event planner Alan Dunn and high-end wedding designer Diann Valentine, both of whom do much of their work in the extravagant and demanding celebrity world.
Since I’m not a fan of most reality shows, especially those that deal with romantic relationships, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Wedding Day is exactly what TNT calls it: an unscripted drama. Each episode introduces an engaged non-celebrity couple who have endured some form of remarkable hardship to make it to their special day. As a result, the fact that they’re even getting married is a remarkable event in itself.
