Timothy Breth thought it was “the hottest cover ever for TV GUIDE MAGAZINE and easily the best one” we’ve ever done. Lisa Henrich agreed, writing that J.Lo “looks absolutely fantastic”— though the shot left Linda Wells wondering if we’d recently made a deal with Playboy. “Those photos are way over the top,” she noted. Dee Lynn Bonn was just perplexed. “She is representing the police drama Shades of Blue. No cop would dress this way!”…Tim Dean disagreed with our Jeer of Derek Shepherd’s death on…2 min
DEPARTMENTSTV’s Obsession With MurderThe coolest new gadgets…Actors reveal how they got their SAG-AFTRA cards…Can television help to exonerate a convicted killer? Netflix’s Making a Murderer has struck a chord, even provoking more than 100,000 people to petition the White House to look into the case of convicted felon Steven Avery.Over the span of 10 years, filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos shot 700 hours of footage documenting the plight of Avery, a Wisconsin man who spent 18 years in prison for a wrongful conviction. After his release, he was later accused and convicted of murdering photographer Teresa Halbach.“When we started this, we thought we were making a documentary feature,” says Ricciardi, who began shooting Murderer in 2005 after Avery was arrested for Halbach’s death. The project grew as new twists emerged, including the…4 min

DEPARTMENTSJoin or Die Ferguson’s New ShowMore than a year after leaving CBS’s The Late Late Show, Craig Ferguson says his new History series, Join or Die, satisfies his talkshow itch. “I wanted to do something that had a little more heft,” he says. “Content that grabbed you, that was interesting to me in a discussion format as opposed to asking, ‘Hi, where are you from? How long have you known George Clooney?’ ”Join or Die (premiering Thursday, February 18, 11/10c) follows a panel of celebrities and experts riffing on various topics from history, such as “most influential drug” and “biggest gangster in history.”Ferguson has already taped 20 episodes and would like to do more. “There are a lot of areas where it can go,” he says. “I just don’t want to make 220 shows a…1 min
DEPARTMENTSA New Direction for TNT and TBSKEVIN REILLY IS giving himself three years to reinvent TBS and TNT. He joined the networks as chief creative officer in late 2014 and spent much of last year quietly making changes. Gone are most blue-sky procedurals like TNT’s Rizzoli & Isles (its run ends this summer) and comedies like TBS’s Ground Floor. New slates include dramas Good Behavior, starring Michelle Dockery, and Animal Kingdom, with Ellen Barkin, at TNT; and comedies including TBS’s People of Earth, from Conan O’Brien’s company. Reilly shares what else is on tap. —MSYou have said that Time Warner is investing in your networks. Where is the money going? When you look at the amount of hours [TNT programs], we have outpaced the competitors for years. Not on TBS. That’s where a lot of the…2 min
DEPARTMENTSRob Lowe Strips Down for The GrinderLife’s a beach for Dean Sanderson (Rob Lowe)! In the January 19 episode of Fox’s The Grinder, the clip from Dean’s legal procedural finds his character, Mitch Grinder, on the shores of Nicaragua. After Mitch is betrayed by his mentor, Gordon Stutz (Richard Schiff, above left), the two attorneys face off in a remote fishing village (Mitch also found time to fit in some yoga). “A gun is pulled, a fish is thrown, but who will prevail?” asks Lowe, who was excited to share the screen again with his West Wing costar. “We’ve been to the mountaintop together and in the trenches. It was a fun change to reunite for an out-and-out comedy.”…1 min
