Watch a teaser for Graham Gordy's 'Quarry'

We first wrote about Graham Gordy's forthcoming Cinemax show "Quarry" in April 2013 — shooting was set to begin that summer, and the Times noted, "2013 might just turn out to be Graham Gordy's year."

Arkansas 'Jeopardy' hero Cooper Lair destined for game show riches

Not since the glory days of Leonard Cooper and Brock Thompson has Arkansas seen so promising a hometown Jeopardy contestant as 15-year-old Cooper Lair, who will compete in the Teen Tournament semi-finals tomorrow night (July 29) and will almost definitely emerge a very wealthy man.

Little Rock's Mary Steenburgen has announced that she'll be joining the third season of "Orange is the New Black," playing the mother of irredeemable crooked prison guard George "Pornstache" Mendez, pictured above. It's been a great year for the Newport native, who stole the show in "Last Vegas' (presumably? I somehow missed "Last Vegas") and was pretty menacing in her three episodes of the most recent season of "Justified."

Watch the first seven minutes of FX's 'Fargo,' starring Billy Bob Thornton

Adapting a classic film into a television series is a great idea from a marketing perspective (it's a pre-sold franchise with name recognition) and a boldly terrible idea from an artistic one. "M*A*S*H" admittedly worked out pretty well, and I still ride for "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles," but for the most part it's a bleak subgenre.
