Danny Masterson has carved out a distinct niche in television comedy.

Before tonight's second-season premiere, BFTV spoke with Danny to ask him what's ahead in the ten new episodes and find out if he considers himself a comedy guy.
"It's funnier than season one," he said of the second cycle. "You're going to sort of see characters evolve - and more of the same good things that we have. The four of us...

Inside the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards
It's time for the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, and BFTV recently stepped behind the scenes at The Shrine to get a glimpse of what it takes to put together tonight's two-hour, star-studded broadcast.
Producer Kathy Connell spoke about what sets the SAG Awards apart from the other major ceremonies. "We are separate because this is an award that's given by actors," she explained. "It's given by the actors' union, SAG-AFTRA. There's no other voting group that's larger than ours, and they're professionals who know what it takes to give a fine performance. Everybody in this room will ...

In Memoriam: Why 'Wedding Band' Will Be Missed
On Tuesday, TBS pulled the plug on Wedding Band, electing not to renew the comedy for a second season.

Here are five reasons why I'll miss rocking out with Mother of the Bride.

It's been established that TBS's Wedding Band is the best new comedy of the year. Digital Airwaves recently connected with Derek Miller - who plays Mother of the Bride drummer and lover of pyrotechnics Barry - to chat about what makes the hilarious show rock.
