The 2011 fall TV season officially kicked off Monday night (Sept. 19), bringing us the old favorites like "Dancing With the Stars" and "Castle" and new faces on "The Playboy Club" and "Two and a Half Men." What did the Zap2it readers have to say?
"Castle":
"One of the big beefs some people have with these types of shows is the "recovery" of the characters after being shot (with a near mortal wound to boot). Sorry, but no one who had their chest cracked open is going to return to work in three months. (Nor would they be sitting up in the bed the very next day...) I'll suspend my disbelief because it was a good episode." - Jenn Zellers
"The Playboy Club":
"Surprisingly, I'm very excited about the prospects of this show. I tuned in expecting to just watch the pilot and then drop it. I'm now hooked.

The Directors Guild of America announced its award winners for achievement in 2010 last night, and the big winner was Tom Hooper, director of The King's Speech. That, in conjunction with the film's victory [1] at the Producers Guild awards, puts the movie as the odds-on favorite to win the Best Picture Oscar, and makes Mr. Hooper a likely win for Best Director as well. The DGA and Academy have gone different ways for Best Director only six times in the past six decades, and I'm not certain this year will make it seven. In Contention [2] points to the difference at the 2003 Oscars, where the relatively young Rob Marshall won the DGA award for Chicago over directors like Martin Scorsese and Roman Polanski. But the Academy went with Roman Polanski as Best Director for The Pianist, even as Chicago won Best Picture. So will a more experienced director like Darren Aronofsky, David O. Russell...

The DGA revealed their nominees for the best direction of 2010 today and for the most part, they were pretty expected. Modern Family, Boardwalk Empire, and The Pacific all had multiple episodes/installments nominated in their respective categories, but joining them in being nominated (though not necessarily in the same category) were an episode from The Hills, an episode of Glee that wasn't received terribly well, and Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. You can read the full list of nominees below in the press release.
