The British singer, 24, writes: "I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we’re over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele...

We left off last season when Ryan (Elijah Wood) accidentally tricked his crush/neighbor Jenna (Fiona Gubelmann) into thinking she was pregnant by switching her urine, got Wilfred (Jason Gann) to jump in front of a car and blackmailed his sister about her affair.
The dark, psychological comedy returns this summer to pick up the pieces, which left viewers second-guessing and mentally backtracking...

Wednesday's "Dallas" didn't center around blackmail or a barbecue -- though we did get two of the former and one of the latter -- but a newborn calf.
As Christopher confides to his father that he loves two women, and Bobby gives his best parental advice ("The choice is yours, but you've got to make one"), the background noise is a cow in labor. Soon we see Bobby elbow-deep...

My, my, my, the “PLL” writers are really stepping up their game this summer. I think it's safe to say that this has been one of the most eventful seasons to date in the show's history.
One GIANT bird was plucked tonight, so naturally, let's start our weekly feast there.
Melissa, oh, Melissa. It's utterly baffling to me that at every turn, no matter the evidence against her, Spencer has...

The final scenes of the third episode of “Dallas," "The Price You Pay,” juxtapose a typical struggle within the series: the domestic versus the urban.
In one, Bobby (Patrick Duffy) and his wife Ann (Brenda Strong) settle into their king-size bed, her rubbing in hand cream, him reflecting upon the predictably dastardly ways of brother JR. Cut to John Ross meeting with his private...

Ah, and what a kingdom it is. The more this season progresses, the more we can see just how far Jenna's, I mean A's, reign is reaching. More enlightening than blinding if you ask me.
First off, a few oh-em-gee moments that need to be touched on...
Lucas is becoming more of a presence in the season, and NOT in a good way. His brooding, emo scruffiness really isn't a look I prefer seeing...

When the original “Dallas” premiered on CBS in 1978, the economy was in a bad way. Unemployment was rising, as was inflation, a trend which continued on into the early 1980s, when the U.S. plunged into a deep recession. And yet the nighttime soap about a rich oil family was a fairly quick hit, the 99 percenters tuning in to watch an expensively made show about the expensively living Ewing family.
