Jace, have any pilots been made available for screening to critics yet?

Here's my early opinion after watching the promos:

- Raising Hope

This looks GREAT. I'm so glad FOX is turning to more single camera comedies, and this show looks like it could be a classic. I laughed out loud several times during the promos. But it also looks like it could be touching and meaningful.

- Running Wilde

Great pairing for Raising Hope, really hope Glee helps these shows in the ratings. Keri Russel?! Will Arnett?! Coming to us from Mitch Hurwitz? Count me in, please.

- Lonestar

Not something I'm dying to see, but this looks well-written, well-produced, and compelling. And more like something from FX than FOX. I applaud the network for this one. I most likely won't watch it unless it gets picked up for a full season because my fall is going to be really busy, but I hope this makes it. If FOX can turn this into a success we'd probably see the networks going more for quality rather than simply "commercial".

- Ride-Along

I think I'll like this more than I did "The Shield", and also a bit like a cable series, although I think this one could be a hit.

- Bob's Burgers

Meh. It's good to see something that's not created by Seth McFarlane on FOX's Sunday line-up. Um...that's all.

- Mixed Signals

Looks decent enough, but doesn't look or feel like something that's going to last beyond its initial order.

The Mixed Signals preview had me cracking up. So I'll probably check that out. And I'm not sure about Raising Hope, but I might give it a try. Doesn't hurt that they'll air after Glee.

Have a Burning Question for Team Darlton, Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, or Michael Emerson?

Lost fans: you don't have to make your way to the island via Ajira Airways in order to ask a question of the creative team or the series' stars. Televisionary is taking questions from fans to put to Lost 's executive producers/showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and stars Matthew Fox ("Jack Shephard"), Evangeline Lilly ("Kate Austen"), and Michael Emerson ("Benjamin Linus") for a series of on-camera interviews taking place this weekend. If you have a specific question for any of the above producers or actors from Lost , please leave it in the comments section below . I'll be accepting questions until midnight PT tonight and, while I can't promise I'll be able to ask any specific inquiry due to the brevity of these on-camera interviews, I am looking for some insightful and thought-provoking questions to add to the mix. So who knows: your burning question might get asked after all.

What's Done is Done: The Eternal Struggle Between Good and Evil on the Season Finale of "Lost"

Every story begins with thread. It's up to the storyteller to determine just how much they need to parcel out, what pattern they're making, and when to cut it short and tie it off. With last night's penultimate season finale of Lost ("The Incident, Parts One and Two"), written by Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, we began to see the pattern that Lindelof and Cuse have been designing towards the last five seasons of this serpentine series. And it was only fitting that the two-hour finale, which pushes us on the road to the final season of Lost , should begin with thread, a loom, and a tapestry. Would Jack follow through on his plan to detonate the island and therefore reset their lives aboard Oceanic Flight 815 ? Why did Locke want to kill Jacob? What caused The Incident? What was in the box and just what lies in the shadow of the statue? We got the answers to these in a two-hour season finale that didn't quite pack the same emotional wallop of previous season

In Defense of Downton Abbey (Or, Don't Believe Everything You Read)

The proof of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating. Which means, if I can get on my soapbox for a minute, that in order to judge something, one ought to experience it first hand. One can't know how the pudding has turned out until one actually tastes it. I was asked last week--while I was on vacation with my wife--for an interview by a journalist from The Daily Mail, who got in touch to talk to me about PBS' upcoming launch of ITV's period drama Downton Abbey , which stars Hugh Bonneville, Dame Maggie Smith, Dan Stevens, Elizabeth McGovern, and a host of others. (It launches on Sunday evening as part of PBS' Masterpiece Classic ; my advance review of the first season can be read here , while my interview with Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes and stars Dan Stevens and Hugh Bonneville can be read here .) Normally, I would have refused, just based on the fact that I was traveling and wasn't working, but I love Downton Abbey and am so enchanted with the proj
