Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory, Dr. Horrible) and wife Jocelyn, welcomed baby Adeline on May 8, according to People.

This is the first child for the couple who married in 2007.

The network upfronts have been around for as long as I can remember and, early in my career, I also got to participate in a couple of them.  For any avid TV fan, though, they are a fun presentation with lots of stars and clips of old shows and new shows and with a bit of some boring stuff in the middle – you know, just like the Emmy Awards, The Golden Globes and every other awards show you can think of (aka The Oscars).  For those who have never had the opportunity to experience a network upfront – either in person or via video streaming – let’s take a look at yesterday’s FOX Upfronts. 

      More after the cut…

I got the chance to screen the pilot of the upcoming animated series "Tron: Uprising" recently and was blown away.  I loved the art style and the graphics looked amazing.   The animated series takes place between the first and second Tron films, right after Clu takes over the grid.  A young program named Beck steps up to defend the Grid.  The prelude/pilot premieres on the Disney Channel on May 18th.

Below the cut I have interviews with Bruce Boxleitner "Tron", Elijah Wood "Beck", Lance Henriksen "General Tesler", Tricia Helfer "The Grid", Paul Reubens "Pavel", Mandy Moore "Mara", and the producers Edward Kitsis, Adam Horowitz & Charlie Bean.

We talk Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Once Upon a Time, Castle, Modern Family, Big Bang Theory, Vampire Diaries, Scandal, Person of Interest, The Mentalist, Grimm, Supernatural, and Fringe.

  If, ten years ago, you would have told the superfans who were calling themselves Browncoats that the stars of their beloved and -- just-canceled -- space western Firefly would one day be at the top of the Hollywood food chain, you'd have gotten plenty of crazy looks. But today, you could also be teasing, "I told you so." - Hollywood Reporter

Isn't it grand that mainstrean media is now talking/talking/talking/talking about Joss and his talent? All it took was the success of The Avengers, where he was left alone to craft his vision.
