United States of Tara
News (Page 2)

Following that awkward one-armed guy hug last week on The United States of Tara, it appears as though Marshall and Jason are over.

This Sunday, on a new episode of the Showtime series, Marshall receives some inspired wisdom from his sister.

According to E! Online, on the occasion of his heartbreak, Kate tells her little brother:

"If you take a pill to make everything better, then you never know when things are f--ked up, and if you don't know when things are f--ked up, then you can't fix it yourself."

Amen, girlfriend!

Despite its critical success, The United States of Tara will soon be in need of a new executive producer.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alexa Junge is leaving the Showtime series, which was just renewed for a second season.

The comedy was created by Oscar-winner Diablo Cody and chronicles the family life of a woman with schizophrenia (Toni Collette).

Over the next couple weeks on The United States of Tara, Kate will have some issues at work; while Max will have some issues in his personal life.

Here are a couple of show spoilers, courtesy of Zap2It:

• Kate will report Gene to Barnabeez Human Resources;
• Max will enter group therapy.

It's not always easy being married to Tara... and her personalities.

Thanks to Korbi at Zap2It, we've learned a couple of major spoilers regarding the next few episodes of The United States of Tara:

• Tara's therapist will abandon her before the season ends;
• Patton Oswalt, as the character of Neil, won't be dating Tara's sister for much longer. Viewers will be seeing Charmaine with another man within the next month or so.

On last week's episode of The United States of Tara, viewers met urinating fourth alter.

How will husband Max react to this news? According to E! Online, he'll turn to Tara's therapist for advice.

This professional actually assures Max that the "poncho goblin," as Max calls Tara's new personality, may be a huge step in helping hsi wife discover why she developed disassociative identity disorder in the first place. That's promising.

Meanwhile, Marshall will turn to Kate for some sisterly advice when he still can't determine if his crush Jason is gay or not.

We hope Alice, Buck and "T" are ready to make a new friend.

The three personalities displayed by Toni Collette's character on The United States of Tara are about to greet a fourth.

Series creator Diablo Cody told E! Online that "there may be other alters," though it's since been confirmed that another side to Tara is definitely on the way.

Network sources say to look for "big reveal at the end of this next episode." Reportedly, it will be impossible to miss.

Toni Collette and all four of her character's personalities will return for a second season of The United States of Tara.

Robert Greenblatt, Showtime president of entertainment, released the following statement, regarding this decision:

"It has been pure pleasure working with Diablo Cody, Toni Collette, Steven Spielberg and everyone at Dreamworks on [the show]. This is a perfect fit for our premium brand and we're thrilled that critics and audiences have responded to this groundbreaking show so well.  I look forward to many more alternate personalities emerging from this unique series.”

The third episode of The United States of Tara airs this Sunday.

What can fans expect in the installment?

According to Korbi Ghosh from Zap2It, fans are gonna spend some time with Kate's new "Barnaby's" boss this Sunday - and he's an even bigger douchebag than Marshall's teacher.

The United States of Tara is officially a hit for Showtime.

With that in mind, Kristin Dos Santos of E! Online recently answered a fan's question, regarding a future show storyline. To paraphrase the spoiler:

Since Tara has been working on that mural for her sister's friend Tiffany, she's becoming good friends with her, up until the point where Tiffany forces an appearance by one of Tara's alters. This won't be a good idea, and the mural suffers the consequences.

So far, so very good for The United States of Tara.

The series' premiere episode was seen by more than 2.5 million people last week, delivering better ratings than Dexter, Weeds, The Tudors and Californication on their opening nights.

The numbers should only climb this Sunday, as Tony Hale appears as Marshall's English teacher.

Oh yes, that's the same guy that played on Buster Bluth Arrested Development.
