FX has rounded out the main cast of the upcoming drama series “Mrs. America” starring Cate Blanchett.
11 actors and actresses have signed on to the nine-episode series, which tells the story of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (Era), and the unexpected backlash led by a conservative woman named Phyllis Schlafly, played by Blanchett. The series is slated to launch in 2020.
The newly announced cast members and the characters they will play are:
Uzo Aduba as Shirley Chisholm – Chisholm not only made history as the first African American Congresswoman, but also became the first African American candidate to run for President from a national political party when she launched her unprecedented 1972 campaign.
Aduba is repped by UTA, Management 360, and Schreck Rose.
Rose Byrne as Gloria Steinem – Steinem was the most recognizable leader of the women’s movement, who co-founded Ms. Magazine and played a major part in...

Ron doesn't find much to recommend about this week's episode of The Tomorrow People...
This review contains spoilers.
1.12 Sitting Ducks
With every episode, The Tomorrow People seems to get dumber and dumber. The show, the premises, the characters... everything appears to be sliding farther down the intellectual scale, and there don't seem to be any sign of improvement on the horizon. Everyone, save the main antagonist, appears to have taken a double dose of dumb pills this week, starting with Stephen.
Stephen is suspicious of his mother's new boyfriend, which makes sense because Stephen is suspicious of everyone now that he's taken a job with Ultra. When you're part of a massive government conspiracy that has carte blanche to detain and execute American citizens, you tend to start seeing boogeymen everywhere. Everyone, from Astrid to Peter the boyfriend to Luca emphasizes how Stephen is being more paranoid than usual,...

1.7 Limbo
One of the positive things you can say about this week's episode of The Tomorrow People is that director Felix Alcala actually does a really good job at creating menace. The show is full of fights that are typically poorly done, and there's usually not much atmosphere different from your usual CW show, but at least for this week, and at least for the scenes involving the villain of the week, we get some decent horror movie style set-ups and pay-offs, even if the show continues to tinker with the rules of its psychics in order to pull off some of the tricks.

All of our enthusiasm for "The Tomorrow People" crashed landed with a thud last week when the dreaded "triangle" reared its ugly head. If you're still on board, however, here's a sneak peek of tomorrow night's Episode 1.07, "Limbo."
"The Tomorrow People" Episode 1.07 - "Limbo" (airs 11/20/13, 9-10pm)
No Mans Land — When Stephen (Robbie Amell) decides to have some fun with his newfound powers, Jedikiah (Mark Pellegrino) takes extreme measures to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
After John (Luke Mitchell) and Russell (Aaron Yoo) return from their trip, John feels a strange tension between himself and Cara (Peyton List). Stephen tries to handle a new and dangerous breakout on his own but finds himself in over his head and needing help from his fellow Tomorrow People.
Meanwhile, Stephen has a moment of clarity when it comes to his father and is more determined than ever to figure out what happened to him.

As we suspected when The CW sent out its "Sweeps Alert" a few days ago, they've now provided expanded synopses for the November 19-21 eps of "Supernatural," "The Tomorrow People," and "The Vampire Diaries."
There's still no clarification of what will be shown in "The Originals" time slot on November 19th, but once we hear something, we'll pass it on.
"Supernatural" Episode 9.07 - "Bad Boys" (airs 11/19/13, 9-10pm)
Young Dean — Dean (Jensen Ackles) gets a call from an old friend named Sonny (guest star Blake Gibbons) asking for help with a ghost. Sonny runs a home for delinquent boys, and Dean was sent there for stealing food when he was younger. Sam (Jared Padalecki) is stunned he never knew this about his brother and asks for more information, but Dean dodges his questions.
Another murder occurs while Sam and Dean are at the house so they scramble to find the culprit before anyone else dies.

1.3 Girl, Interrupted
I've recently purchased a house. Officially, it was less than two weeks ago that the property became mine, and I've been working on it pretty steadily since it came into my hands. Property records in my area were only kept back to 1900, and all houses older than that are kind of mysterious in that no one knows when they were built and how old they actually are. My house, being at least 113 years old, is pretty old by American standards, and it needs a lot of elbow grease and hard work to scrape off years of neglect and turn it into the house I know it should be.

The Tomorrow People, Season 1, Episode 3, “Girl, Interrupted”
Written by Micah Schraft and Pam Veasey
Directed by Danny Cannon
Airs Wednesdays at 9/8C on the CW
While still riddled with more holes than a strainer, this week’s episode of the CW’s The Tomorrow People is marginally better than both the previous one and the pilot. Which isn’t saying much, but at least there’s been some improvement. This week in the misadventures of Stephen and his merry band of Tomorrow People we discover Cara’s dislike for humanity, continue to watch Stephen play the most unconvincing double agent known to mankind and then screw up because of Cara’s telepathic instability, come face to face with the Tomorrow People’s wildly hypocritical disregard for human life, and are baffled at their inability to spot a trap from a mile away.
Exciting stuff!

Chicago – HBO finally broke through with their first major new comedy successes since “Entourage” this year with the amazing “Girls” and “Veep.” There were a few growing pains between the critical darlings however, a trio of shows that never quite took off like their breakthrough network hoped they would. And yet there are things to like about at least two of them and they probably have some loyal audiences who want to own them on Blu-ray. Now they can.
