More Episodes of Accidentally on Purpose to Come

Perhaps if Accidentally on Purpose quotes were just a tad bit funnier...

CBS still has not picked up the Jenna Elfman sitcom for a full season, but the network has given it a vote of confidence: five more episodes have been ordered.

This week's episode earned the show its highest ratings since the premiere in September.

Last month, CBS ordered full seasons of its fellow new series NCIS: Los Angeles and The Good Wife. It's not looking good for Three Rivers.

Gossip Girl Episode Stills: "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"

Promotional photos from next week's controversial episode of Gossip Girl aren't that controversial. There are no threesome shots (probably for the best considering the recent criticism the show has gotten for it), but they do raise some questions:

  • What brings Nate and Jenny together on stage?
  • What is S doing with Congressman-elect Tripp?
  • Is this J's big moment as queen of the ball?
  • Does V ever wash her hair?

As hinted in the sneak previews we posted earlier, the Cotillion ball is in effect and much more. Click to enlarge pictures from the episode below and comment away:

90210 Round Table: "Women's Intuition"

Welcome to the latest edition of the 90210 Round Table!

As mentioned earlier today, we didn't love the show's latest episode and we'll explain why below.

But we always encourage feedback and disagreements, so please visit our 90210 forum or leave a comment and let us know your thoughts on various Round Table topics. Let's get right to them...

Is this the last we'll hear from Sasha?
BrendaLova: I'd have to think so. I just hope this storyline wasn't a means to create more tension between Debbie and Harry. How will Dixon react to the supposed miscarriage? I'm curious to find out.

The Real McKay: No way. That girl is nutso! I'm sure she'll weasel her way into Dixon's life again somehow. Sleep with one eye open, Debbie.

Wild4Wilds: Yes. But, according to various spoilers (sorry, I peeked!), it's not the last time Dixon will get involved with a cougar.

Is Ivy a welcome addition to the show?
BrendaLova: Not the way she's been introduced. Her relationship with Liam hasn't seem natural from the outset, as they immediately laid into each other, only to soon lay each other. A bit of character development first would have been nice.

The Real McKay: Definitely. Adrianna, Silver and Naomi are all sort of similar. It's nice to see a female jock on 90210.

Wild4Wilds: She is, but it's been a bit too much, too quickly. Ivy got more air time this week than Silver. That didn't feel right to me.
