Coming Soon - NBC's #Allegiance
Allegiance
You're going to see a lot of comparisons between Allegiance and The Americans. Both are about Russian spies living in America and trying to avoid being caught by the FBI. FX’s The Americans came out first. So should viewers think NBC’s Allegiance is ripping off the cable drama?
Not at all, producers say.
Allegiance centers around a young, idealistic CIA analyst who is unaware that his parents as well as his sister are part of a dormant Russian sleeper cell that has just been reactivated.
“Watch one or two episodes and I think it’s pretty clear that we’re going in a different direction,” EP George Nolfi said Friday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour. “This is, fundamentally a family drama about people who really do not want to be spies. They’re forced into this situation. That’s just an extremely different setup and then where we take it is really different, as well.”
Scott Cohen also noted that Allegiance is “dealing with an imminent danger” and “a post-9/11 generation” in its central character of Alex, “which is a bit different than what The Americans is.”
Added star Gavin Stenhouse, “A lot of shows, I feel, have superficially similar premises. They’re based on similar things, but they’re a different emotional journey for the viewer. It’s born out of a completely different equation of actors and writers.”
Allegiance is based on an Israeli format, The Gordin Cell, which came out in 2012—one year before The Americans.

This high-octane thriller revolves around the O'Connor family and their son, Alex (Gavin Stenhouse), a young idealistic CIA analyst specializing in Russian affairs. Unbeknownst to him, both of his parents and his sister are part of a dormant Russian sleeper cell that has just been reactivated.
Years ago, Russian-born Katya (Hope Davis) was tasked by the KGB to recruit American businessman Mark O'Connor (Scott Cohen) as a spy, and the two fell in love. A deal was struck: as long as Katya remained an asset for Russia, she would be allowed to marry Mark and move to America. After years in America building a happy life and without word from Moscow, they thought they had escaped. Now it seems the new Mother Russia has one more mission - turning Alex into a spy. The SVR (Russian Intelligence) has re-enlisted the entire family into service as they plan a terrorist operation inside U.S. borders that will bring America to its knees. For these anguished parents, the choice is clear: betray their country... or risk their family.
The series also stars Margarita Levieva (Natalie O'Connor), Morgan Spector (Victor Dobrynin), Kenneth Choi (Sam Luttrell) and Alex Peters (Sarah O'Connor).
Based on an Israeli format, "Allegiance" is a production of Universal Television, Keshet Media and Yes! and comes from Executive Producer, Showrunner and Producing Director George Nolfi ("The Adjustment Bureau") and Executive Producers Avi Nir, John Glenn, Rashad Raisani, Ron Leshem, Amit Cohen, Giyora Yahalom, and Yona Wisenthal.

Agent Carter - Episodes 1 and 2 Recaps and Review
Agent Carter Premieres!
It's 1946 and peace has dealt Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad. Working for the covert SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve), Peggy finds herself stuck doing administrative work when she would rather be back out in the field, putting her vast skills into play and taking down the bad guys. But she is also trying to navigate life as a single woman in America, in the wake of losing the love of her life, Steve Rogers – aka Captain America. When old acquaintance Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper, “Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger”) finds himself being framed for unleashing his deadliest weapons to anyone willing to pony up the cash, he contacts Peggy -- the only person he can trust -- to track down those responsible, dispose of the weapons and clear his name. He empowers his butler, Edwin Jarvis (James D'Arcy), to be at her beck and call when needed to help assist her as she investigates and tracks down those responsible for selling these weapons of mass destruction. If caught going on these secret missions for Stark, Peggy could be targeted as a traitor and spend the rest of her days in prison – or worse.
“Marvel’s Agent Carter” stars Hayley Atwell (“Captain America: The First Avenger,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”) as Agent Peggy Carter, James D'Arcy (“Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World”) as Edwin Jarvis, Chad Michael Murray (“One Tree Hill,” “A Cinderella Story”) as Agent Jack Thompson, Enver Gjokaj (“Dollhouse”) as Agent Daniel Sousa, and Shea Whigham (“American Hustle,” “The Wolf of Wall Street”) as Chief Roger Dooley.

Monday TV - Jan. 5, 2015: Sleepy Hollow and State of Affairs
Monday TV - First week of January
Sleepy Hollow episode 2.12 http://www.fox.com/sleepy-hollow
"Paradise Lost"
Reeling from the events of their standoff with Moloch, Ichabod and Abbie encounter an angel, Orion, that they believe can help them. Meanwhile, Katrina searches for the humanity in Abraham in the all-new "Paradise Lost" episode of SLEEPY HOLLOW airing Monday, Jan. 5 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (SLH-212) (TV-14 L, V)
My thoughts - Nice to see Max Brown (Orion) again. He played Evan on "Beauty and the Beast" season 1. And Frank Irving is back! Hawley turning his attentions toward Jenny without closure on his attraction to Abby first was weird.
State of Affairs episode 1.7 http://www.nbc.com/state-of-affairs
"Bellerophon"
Photos of national landmarks featuring the är rissãlah symbol surface. Payton must make a decision.
While Mo takes over the presidential briefing, things heat up when Charlie and Nick head to Yemen to track Fatah.
My thoughts - Man, I love this show. Continues to surprise and intrigue me, and I love that they're incorporating current real-world issues in the writing. Casting surprise: Cress Williams as an FBI agent. I've been used to seeing him as Mayor Lavon Hayes on "Hart of Dixie", so hearing him speak without a Southern accent was weird. Glad he's found work outside the 10 episode current HoD season (probably its last).

Galavant - Episodes 1 and 2
Galavant Premieres!
"Galavant" premiered on Sunday, January 4 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) with two 30 minute episodes back-to-back on the ABC Television Network.
My take - So much fun! It's in the vein of The Princess Bride and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Loved it. (Knew I would.) The Mister doesn't like musicals, but he is a fan of the aforementioned movies and Monty Python, and laughed during Galavant, too.
Joshua Sasse is yummy. This man definitely needs to stay on TV.
Screenwriter/executive producer Dan Fogelman (Crazy, Stupid, Love, Tangled, Cars) teams up with a Broadway and Hollywood award-winning musical team -- composer Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast) and lyricist Glenn Slater (Tangled) -- for a 4-week comedy extravaganza.
Once upon a time, the dashing hero, Galavant (Joshua Sasse) lost the love of his life, Madalena (Mallory Jansen), to the evil King Richard (Timothy Omundson). Now, our fallen hero is ready to take revenge and restore his “happily ever after.” But it won’t be without a few twists and turns along the way.
Galavant stars Joshua Sasse as Galavant, Timothy Omundson as King Richard, Vinnie Jones as Gareth, Mallory Jansen as Madalena, Karen David as Isabella, and Luke Youngblood as Sid.
"Pilot" (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET) - When heroic, charming and handsome Sir Galavant loses his true love, the beautiful Madalena, to evil King Richard's wealth and power, he falls into a deep and drunken despair. Just as our hero hits rock bottom, Princess Isabella shows up with a quest to save her kingdom, defeat the despicable King Richard, and provide an opportunity for Galavant to reclaim Madalena. Galavant is off to become a hero again and strike a blow for true love...but first, Galavant has to fit into his old hero pants.
"Joust Friends" (8:30-9:00 p.m. ET) - Galavant enters a jousting tournament against a boastful rival, Sir Jean Hamm (guest star John Stamos), to test his return to heroic form (and win some much-needed traveling money and a really nice rooster). But it quickly becomes clear that Galavant is a long shot to win. Meanwhile, King Richard asks Gareth to help him become a bit more macho so that Madalena won't despise him quite so much.

Please welcome my friend Vivian Lane!
Introducing Vivian Lane
Vivian is the new caretaker of my characters.
Since I'm not writing anymore I've handed my characters - published before or not - to my friend Vivian Lane. Phantom Ridge has agreed to take her on, and I'll be her editor.
Show her some love, 'kay? You can find her books on Amazon.
Thanks!
K.C.
