Karen Gillan stars in Selfie, a modern sitcom take on Pygmalion. Here's what Patrick made of the first episode...
Eliza Dooley is the colleague from hell. She’s the smug, gaudy co-worker who lives in a symbiotic relationship with her phone and spends more time commenting on Instagram or Tweeting her feelings than interacting with the world. When Eliza struts into her workplace, a pharmaceuticals company, she dribbles out a line of text-speak to the baffled receptionist. Into Eliza’s work enters Henry Higgs, a sniffy, uptight technophobe who managed to amend and enhance the reputation of the company much to the delight of its boss. After a particularly embarrassing moment in which two bulging bags of vomit explode onto Eliza’s trendy skirt in front of all her colleagues, she resolves to improve her own image, enlisting a surprisingly willing Henry to help her (“I can transform this vapid,...

Now that it is just barely summer, it’s time for the networks to try their best to get you excited for fall television. ABC wants you to get excited for their schedule, and their new shows, and I’ve got some previews for you, as well as some initial thoughts.
I have to tell you, ABC is looking more and more strange as time goes on, and the overall efforts of the network really have to make you wonder. While there are some hints of interesting shows, and one or two that might turn into worthwhile vehicles, in the Eddie and the Cruisers world of television, ABC is Joe Pantoliano, clutching his tapes, and furiously blathering about the lunacy of not giving the idiotic public what they want, especially since they keep demanding it.

The cast for "Selfie," the pilot starring "Doctor Who's" Karen Gillan is rounding out rather well. Already, she will be joined by David Harewood, Allyn Rachel and Tim Peper. Now, "Harold and Kumar" star John Cho is joining the mix.
According to TV Line, Cho plays a marketing expert trying to help Gillan's Eliza Dooley repair her image after a breakup video goes viral. The pilot script, from "Suburgatory" creator Emily Kapnek, is inspired by "My Fair Lady."
Cho has most recently been seen on "Sleepy Hollow." though half-hour comedy is nothing new to him. In addition to starring in "Go On," he's appeared on "30 Rock," "Ntsf:sd:suv::" and "How I Met Your Mother," among other shows.

Jennie Garth departs 'Girl'
Jennie Garth has departed from CBS' comedy pilot My Best Friend's Girl, raising speculation about a possible stint on the CW's Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff.
Kristin Booth has been tapped to replace Garth as the female lead in Girl, while Jerry O'Connell has signed on to star opposite Niecy Nash in the Fox comedy pilot The Inn.
Additionally, Tony winner Denis O'Hare has joined CBS' drama presentation The Tower.
Girl, from Sony TV, revolves around two best friends whose relationship becomes complicated when one (Tim Peper) starts dating the ex-wife of the other (Josh Cooke).
Garth was to play the ex-wife. She departed the pilot after the table read Monday in what was described as a mutual decision between her and the producers. Garth has been coping with the death of her father, who passed away after she was cast in Girl.
Meanwhile, it had been reported that Rob Thomas, who penned the script for CW's upcoming 90210 spinoff, has been looking to potentially recruit 90210 alumna Garth to reprise her role as Kelly Taylor from the original series in the spinoff, possibly returning to her alma mater as a fashion design teacher.
