Primetime pathologist talks about 'CSI' effectRobert David Hall is not a doctor, but he plays one on TV. In fact, Hall plays the longest running pathologist on primetime television as Dr. Al Robbins, the medical examiner on “CSI,” which enters its 12th season tonight. (Yes, that’s five years longer and more than 100 episodes past Jack Klugman’s “Quincy M.E.”) Despite his success - actually, because of his success - there’s one real-life role that seems to escape Hall despite numerous callbacks: the part of a trial juror.

Maya Rudolph can identify with 'Up All Night'"Bridesmaids" star Maya Rudolph may play a famous daytime talk show host, who knows next to nothing about kids on NBC's new comedy "Up All Night," but in reality, she's an old pro at raising children. "I definitely recognize what Christina [Applegate] and other characters are going through, so much so that it’s kind of embarrassing," she told reporters at a conference call on Tuesday. "Although I will say as the third time parent – it’s like getting to a higher level of 'Angry Birds.' The first time, bringing the baby home from the hospital, I think I was in the backseat, like, putting my finger under her nose, making sure she was breathing and asking my husband to drive, like three miles per hour. By the third child, we didn’t even have a car seat anymore. When we got one, we didn’t even install it properly because we were just running out of the hospital because we just wanted to get home. I ended up just switching seats with [my husband] and I ended up driving myself home from the hospital."

Everyone’s a Critic: Please sir, I want an encoreTo paraphrase Steve Martin’s character in “The Jerk”: The new fall season is here! The new fall season is here! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be inundated with new shows and returning favorites. For a TV junkie like me, the launch of the fall season is filled with excitement, anticipation, energy… and a fair amount of regret. You see, I’d like to watch everything. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. There are some shows I’m looking forward to, and other shows that deserve a three-episode trial (that’s my standard). Even the shows I think are going to be horrible deserve a single viewing. After all, it’s only fair to actually watch something if you’re planning to be critical about it.
