Good news for everyone who's ever been screwed by someone in power. Not so good news for everyone in power.
TNT just picked up Leverage for a third season, and I couldn't be happier. In the first season,
Leverage worked because of the cleverness of the heists the gang got up to. I found myself trying to figure out all the angles they were working, but by the end they still managed to trick me a couple of times.
The second season saw them lose their stately headquarters and tackle these jobs in a much more street level fashion, and in several ways the show got better. At the same time, rather than the heist always taking center stage, at times it was our five characters that shone brightest.
By that I'm referring to the quirks of their individual personalities, because we haven't gotten a great deal of character development this season. The banter and camaraderie within the crew gives us some great lines and moments each week, though. Now that a third season is secured, I'd like to see the character arcs for those great personalities pick up again.

We here at TV Squad like
Wil Wheaton. He starred on
Star Trek: TNG and tons of movies and writes fun books and even
wrote a great column for us at one point. Tonight he guest stars on
Leverage, and as you can see from the clip below, he's in his natural habitat: sitting in front of a computer, typing.

The Rockford Files was one of my favorite shows as a kid. When I got my first car I even looked around for one just like his. So this news that
NBC is doing a remake of the show has me both excited and scared. Why try to redo one of the classic private eye shows of all-time?
Maybe because it
is one of the classic private eye shows of all-time.
House creator David Shore is writing a new, updated version of the show, and if there's one thing that makes me feel better about it is the fact that Shore hates updating shows like this but made an exception because it's one of his favorite shows, too.

Watching an advance screening of the first episode of the second season of
Leverage was a bit like seeing the
Star Wars movies in numerical order. The small references make no sense and makes you feel like you're in a clubhouse that you haven't yet joined.
The second season, starting this Wednesday at 9 PM ET on TNT, makes me wish I had all control over time and space so I could follow along with everyone else during the first season. That and so I could make a lot of money by predicting the outcomes of high stakes horse races with an all-knowing sports almanac from the future.

Here are the new TV DVDs, in stores tomorrow.Now
this is a DVD release week. Lots of stuff for every type of TV fan. I'm definitely getting
Mad Men (and I'm going to watch all of the episodes again immediately to get ready for next month's launch of season 3), and I'm tempted to get the season 8 set of
Bewitched, though I'll probably wait for the inevitable complete series set. I've never seen
The Guns of Will Sonnett, but friends tell me it was good. Hopefully that's on Hulu or AOL Video or Retro TV so I don't have to actually buy it yet.
- American Gladiators - Season 1
- Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Collection 4
- Bewitched - Season 8
- Bleach - Uncut Box Set Vol. 3: The Rescue
- ER - Season 11

Academy Award winner Timothy Hutton has had numerous chances to star in TV series during his successful career. It took the edgy blend of drama and humor in TNT's
Leverage to lead him to sign on for the show's lead role.
Hutton stars as Nathan Ford, a former insurance investigator leading a team of thieves and con artists who balance the scales when ordinary people fall victim to corrupt politicians, authorities and corporations.
The show co-stars Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf and Aldis Hodge as Ford's less than reputable teammates.
As
Leverage approaches its second season premiere July 15, Hutton connected with
TV Squad to share his hopes for the show.
