Terriers is a show that relies on the chemistry of its two leads.

Fortunately, FX has cast real-life friends Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James (as Hank Dolworth and Britt Pollack, respectively) as a pair of unlicensed private investigators who play off each other perfectly. The pilot episode begins and ends with a simple conversation between the two, which is a solid summation of a great series premiere:

It doesn't try too hard. Terriers succeeds due to quick-witted dialogue and a basic premise. It doesn't rely on special effects or complicated storytelling, just quality writing and characters I feel like I know well after just one hour of watching them work.

The show is produced by Ted Griffin (Ocean's 11) and Shawn Ryan (The Shield), and each man leaves the mark of the movie/show for which he's best known.

Hank and Britt operate a lot like George Clooney and Brad Pitt's characters from that film franchise. They're clearly tight, jokingly argue about mundane topics, but get down to business when it's time to break into a property or investigate a scene.

It looks like the CW has another hit on its hands. The much-anticipated series Hellcats premiered this week, showcasing bubbly personalities, interesting friendships, and sheer talent.

On the pilot episode, we met Marti, a pre-law student at Lancer University, which she attends on financial aid. She hangs with her townie friend Dan, who works down at the docks. Sitting in the courtyard, the two of them watch the Hellcats practice. Marti and Dan make fun of the squad when one of the flyers gets hurt.

Marti lives off campus with her mom, who works in the college pub. Sorting through the mail, Marti finds her scholarship papers explaining that it was canceled last semester causing tuition to be past due and must be paid in a week or she will be cut from classes. Marti’s mom explains that the university cut employee fringe, but they will figure it out.

We then go to Hellcats practice and get a closer look at the hard work the cheerleaders put in. Here we get to meet some of the Hellcats, including Savannah (the captain), Alice (the injured flyer), and Louis, one of the male cheerleaders.  Alice and Louis are arguing about whose fault her injury is, as we also find out that they used to date.

How will Sons of Anarchy follow up what we thought was a perfect season premiere?  By sending Jax and the club to help a bounty hunter, of course.

To catch a preview of the upcoming episode, entitled "Oiled," watching the following scenes from the upcoming episode below.

Fans of The Vampire Diaries are accustomed to a snarky, confident Damon Salvatore. That's the beloved character star Ian Somerhalder played to perfection on the first season of this CW smash.

But the cast member says viewers should prepare themselves for a different side of Damon. The return of long-lost love Katherine will have a significant effect on this blood sucker, as Somerhalder details in a new interview with EW.

Read an excerpt from the conversation below:

Katherine comes back, and it’s the chicken or the egg thing. In the story, Katherine obviously came before Damon, and Damon learned a lot of his antics from Katherine and then 150 years of cynicism. When I watch Nina be Katherine, it’s crazy, the similarity that you see between Katherine and Damon.

She starts wreaking havoc in a very similar way that for most of season 1 Damon wreaked havoc - because he wanted something. You’re gonna see Damon in a way in which you haven’t necessarily seen him before dealing with Katherine and what happens after so many years of longing and wanting to be with someone, being hurt and let down in that extreme manner. It’s a lot of fun watching Katherine and how powerful and manipulative and sexy and crazy she is. It’s a lot of fun to play.

Warehouse 13 took viewers back to 1961 this week. Read our review of the latest episode and then settle in for the latest edition of the TV Fanatic Round Table.

As always, reader reaction to the following topics is encouraged...

What was your favorite Warehouse 13 quote from the episode?
ViddWizard: “The ink in which our lives are inscribed is indelible.” Helena said it so well: we can’t change the past no matter how much we try.

Warehousefan101: The quote that stood out to me the most was the one H.G. Wells said: "I got a gold star!" It was very... first grade! It made me laugh. And then Pete wanted one. I love the writers of this show!

ARochelle: Mrs. Raite: "I wish you'd loved me more." Mr. Raite: "I wish you'd loved me less."

Enoyhs: Two quotes/actions: First, I loved how Pete was obsessed with Gold Star system; and second would be the good old trick on how to get electronics to work (hitting them).

Would you rather work for Artie in 2010 or Charlie from 1961?
ViddWizard: I actually will pick Charlie for 1961. While he is a bigger smartass, he never leaves you guessing where you stand.

Warehousefan101: Artie for sure. While he can be a bit uptight, he is not always like that. He can be "hip," too, or at least he can try to be.

ARochelle: I don't really know enough about Charlie, so I'd have to go with Artie. Besides, I like Artie.

Enoyhs: Even though Artie has been a pain in the ass for last couple episodes, I still would prefer him as my boss. I've something against those guys in 60's.

Bones is embracing the public's love of reality TV.

As previously announced, Antonio Sabato, Jr. will guest star on a Jersey Shore-inspired episode of the Fox hit. Now, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed that So You Think You Can Dance alum Stephen “tWitch” Boss will appear on a November installment of the series.

The episode will find Booth and Brennan entering the realm of street performers. Boss will portray a murder suspect.

He got his big break as a long finger-nailed killer, played a creepy janitor on Bones and will now take on the role of an evil scientist on Chuck.

Sounds about right for Robert Englund, doesn't it?

The actor who originated the villainous character of Freddy Krueger will guest star on this NBC show's Halloween episode, titled “Chuck Versus Aisle of Terror.” As mentioned above, he'll portray a doctor whose lab you probably want to avoid.

Englund joins a looooooooong list of notable season four guest stars on Chuck. Among them: Linda Hamilton, Timothy Dalton, Eric Roberts, Lou Ferrigno, Olivia Munn, Nicole Richie, Old Spice Guy, and Dolph Lundgren.

It returns with new episodes on September 20.
