If Tuesday’s two-hour premiere was any indication, CBS’ Zoo is going all in with Season 2.

Whereas Season 1 of the James Patterson adaptation took things a bit seriously as it explored the mystery of a manmade genetic mutation within the entire animal kingdom that turned our fine feathered and furry friends against us, Season 2 — or at least the effects-laden premiere, which for all I know blew the entire budget — is going full-tilt bananas (no pun intended, monkeys).

During The Theory of Everything, I could have sworn I saw the plot of Two Night Stand chalked up on one of Eddie Redmayne’s blackboards. Then I squinted and laughed at my own stupidity; Professor Stephen Hawking may have worked with formulas, but he would have never come up with one so predictable and wholly unoriginal.

This may come as a surprise to you (prepare your gasps), but there aren’t a whole lot of romantic comedies that try breaking the mould when it comes to story, characters and (especially) heartfelt speeches.

And so it goes with Two Night Stand, a harmless enough story about a pair of strangers (Analeigh Tipton and Miles Teller on agreeable if fairly bland form) who...

Has The Following really crossed a line in this week's episode?

This review contains spoilers.

2.10 Teacher's Pet

The Following may have well crossed a line to turn off its viewership this week. For 26 episodes, the show has done everything imaginable to alienate viewers. Lots of people getting killed in gruesome ways, serial killers offered up as characters we're supposed to root for, children in peril, “classic Poe,” Ryan Hardy's slow transformation from troubled cop to outright sociopath, Mike's father being murdered just to provoke a brief emotional reaction, and some foaming-at-the-mouth poisoning courtesy of Joe's former cult leader and spiritual guru. Entire families have been murdered in cold blood. Corpses have been used as dance partners and implied sex dolls. Any number of horrible, depraved thing shave occurred, yet there's one line the show hasn't crossed: they haven't killed any animals.

That changed this week.

After tonight's episode of "The Following," we'll be two thirds of the way through this season, and we're anxious to see the fallout from last week's reveal as Season 2 wraps up. If you are also, here are four sneak peeks of what's ahead in "Teacher's Pet."

"The Following" Episode 2.10 - "Teacher's Pet" (3/24/14, 9-10Pm; repeats 3/29/14, 9-10Pm)

Ryan Hardy Comes One Step Closer To Joe Carroll -- As his power over the Korban cult grows, Joe sets a deadly plan in action using new acolytes to carry out his demands.

Meanwhile, Ryan and Max devise a plan to contact Joe in hopes of tracking down his whereabouts, and Weston meets with a face from the past

"The Following" is one of those shows we watch more out of obligation than anything else, but there's no denying the appeal of James Purefoy's performance as Joe Carroll. If you're also a fan, then check out this new video that takes a look at his "resurrection."

It's time now to descend back into the darkness to investigate an infamous killer who's defied death and the new cult keeping the terrifying flames of his legacy alive.

Fox is postponing production on drama pilot Wild Blue, which has been moved off-cycle. Written by Taylor Elmore and to be directed by Michael Dinner, the Sony Pictures TV-produced project is an upstairs/downstairs look at the working men and women aboard an aircraft carrier. Given the setting, Fox and Sony TV had been looking to film the pilot on a Navy carrier. Speculation about the pilot being pushed first surfaced more than two weeks ago when it became clear that the carrier the producers were eying for the shoot would not be available until after pilot season. But around the same time, Tim McGraw, a top choice for the lead role, engaged, entering talks. The prospect of landing him made Fox and Sony TV put a pin in their plans to push production and instead explore alternative location options, including building some of the needed interiors onstage. But McGraw eventually walked away,...

Three actors are headed to The Wild Blue.
