http://www.thetvking.com/news/ TheTvKing the top 20 latest news and reviews. Fri, 18 May 2012 10:35:02 UTC One of the latest Doctor Who releases is Doctor Who: The Happiness Patrol. In this three-part serial, The Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) and Ace (Sophie Aldred) arrive on a planet where everyone is happy. The music is happy; the clothing is happy; even the police are happy. They'd better be, or the villainous Helen A. (Sheila Hancock) will get rid of them. In fact, even the dreary blue TARDIS isn't happy enough, soon being painted pink to fit in! The incessant joy is enough to make anyone suspicious, and The Doctor isn't just anyone. He soon meets up with Trevor Sigma http://www.thetvking.com/reviews/1271/doctor-who-laughs-at-the-happiness-patrol/ 2012-05-17 00:00:00 en-gb Copyright: (C) TheTvKing.com It's Mother's Day in Chatwin on the season finale of ABC's Suburgatory, entitled "The Motherload."  As the neighborhood tries to outdo each other in honoring the moms, Eden (Alicia Silverstone, Clueless, Miss Match) wonders if perhaps Tessa (Jane Levy) isn't dealing with her feelings of abandonment, not having her mom in the picture. George (Jeremy Sisto) insists that he knows his daughter and Tessa is fine, but is she? Yes and no. Tessa is a fully developed person, who does just fine without a mother up til now. Then she and her dad move out of the city, and into http://www.thetvking.com/reviews/1273/suburgatory-delivers-the-motherload/ 2012-05-17 00:00:00 en-gb Copyright: (C) TheTvKing.com Glee went for the double dose last night, presenting two new episodes the week before its third season finale. Why make the penultimate week a two- hour special, and leave the finale a mere 60 minutes? Well, for one thing, the last episode will be paired with American Idol. And secondly, after an hour of high excitement Nationals competition, wouldn't the softer toned goodbyes seem to drag on? Glee made the right decision. To the episodes! The first, "Props," opens with an understated Rachel (Lea Michele) performance of "I Won't Give Up." It's a fantastic song, not in your http://www.thetvking.com/reviews/1272/glee-ditches-the-props-for-nationals/ 2012-05-17 00:00:00 en-gb Copyright: (C) TheTvKing.com Deciding to stay in Bluebell, as Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson) does in the penultimate episode of the season, proves harder than expected as "The Big Day" arrives on Hart of Dixie. She stays because of all the bonds she has formed. But one of those bonds, George Tucker (Scott Porter), who she cares a little more than she should for, is about to marry Lemon Breeland (Jaime King). And this is not a day for Zoe to hang around the town, which is totally devoted to the nuptials. So she borrows Lavon's (Cress Williams) vehicle and heads off.

As enjoyable as Bones is, mostly due to the colorful, talented cast of characters, it is still a procedural. Recently familial developments keep things moving along from week to week, but each episode still makes time to solve a murder. Except in "The Past in the Present." Christopher Pelant (Andrew Leeds, Major Payne), whom viewers might remember from this year's mid-season finale, returns. Pelant previously matched wits with the Jeffersonian team, still managing to mess with http://www.thetvking.com/reviews/1269/broken-bones/ 2012-05-15 00:00:00 en-gb Copyright: (C) TheTvKing.com After 9 seasons, One Tree Hill comes to an end in the UK next week on the UK's E4 next week with a 2 hour special.Replacing One Tree Hill in the Monday night 9PM slot is Revenge.
