Mixing family with business is never easy, and Jack Shea (Kyle Bornheimer) is about to learn that lesson the hard way. When Jack’s father, Tony (J.K. Simmons), has a heart attack and is forced to hand over the keys to his beloved handyman business, Jack is eager to finally step up and make his father proud. Unfortunately Jack’s past career efforts have been less than stellar, so everyone seems to be waiting for him to fail. His new job isn’t made any easier by Tony’s rebellious, troublemaker assistant, Darren (Edi Gathegi), and Darren’s flirtatious sister, Liz (Danielle Nicolet), who works at the local hardware store. Yet with the support of his Aunt Terry (Leah Remini) and his oddball yet endearing cousin Mason (Johnny Pemberton), Jack Shea may just find his true calling right at home. (Source: ABC)

“Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous” — With his showy manner and snarky style, the viral-video star Bo Burnham isn’t to everyone’s taste. But what he displayed in this scripted show—playing a version of himself as a young man trying to make it as an Internet star (complete with meta touches, like Stone filming scenes from his fictional life)–was funny and unusual.

A&E Extends Bates Motel’s Stay With a Season 2 Renewal
Norman Bates has enjoyed his time at Bates Motel so much, he’s decided to stay another year. A&E has renewed the psychological drama for a second season, with the announcement coming just three episodes into the show’s run, and conveniently on the day that the fourth episode is scheduled to air (10pm! A&E! Tonight!). Season 2 will run for 10 episodes and premiere in 2014.
The Psycho prequel drama stars Freddie Highmore as a young Norman Bates and Vera Farmiga as his mother, Norma Bates. Lost‘s Carlton Cuse and Friday Night Lights‘ Kerry Ehrin are the brains behind the series. Though the audience for Bates Motel has dropped since the show debuted to 4.5 million viewers (across multiple airings), it set A&E records and is still looking good for the network.
Early reviews have been mild to positive, with a general consensus that the show has the potential to be pretty good once it really finds its footing. I liked most of the pilot and some of the subsequent episodes, but didn’t find the show strong enough to crack my regular watch list. Maybe a lazy Sunday marathon is in store. What do you think?

The Killing’s Richard Harmon Joins Bates Motel as Norman’s High School Rival
The Killing bad boy Richard Harmon has checked into A&E’s Bates Motel, where he’ll figure into a killer love triangle with Norman Bates. TVLine has learned exclusively that the Canadian-born actor will fill the recurring role of Richard Slymore, the cool, intelligent and artsy BMOC at the high school Norman Bates (played by Finding Neverland‘s Freddie Highmore) enrolls at after he and his mother move to town. Richard is not at all thrilled when his girlfriend finds herself emotionally connecting to the new kid. Harmon — whose TV credits also include The Secret Circle, Fringe and Canada’s Continuum — marks the latest addition to the Carlton Cuse-produced drama, following Vera Farmiga (as Norman’s mother Norma), Lost‘s Nestor Carbonell (recurring as a sinister-seeming sheriff) and Pan Am alum Mike Vogel (as the sheriff’s deputy). Described as a look into Norman’s formative years, including his storied relationship with his mother, Bates Motel will premiere sometime in 2013.
Bates Motel – Nicola Peltz joins cast
A&E is rounding out the cast of its Psycho prequel Bates Motel.
The Last Airbender co-star Nicola Peltz is near a deal to join the cable network’s drama about Norman Bates’ formative years, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.
Peltz will play Bradley Kenner, a girl Norman (Freddie Highmore) takes a liking to at school who’s described as bright and effortlessly sexy with a depth that makes her seem older than she really is.
