No, not the talent on display in the network's perennial summer hit "America's Got Talent," which continues to wow audiences for another sea- son by showcasing the wild and incredible things of which its contestants are capable. The growth is happening in the talent series "Little Big Shots" — and I mean that quite literally. The Steve Harvey-hosted series that usually features kids show- ing off incredible levels of talent saw its highly anticipated spinoff premiere last week. "Little Big Shots: Forever Young" keeps the sky-high level of talent for which its parent show is known on dis- play while raising the age cate- gory of its stars by a few genera- tions. You can catch a new epi- sode airing Wednesday, June 28, on NBC. "Forever Young," as the name subtly suggests, is a talent show for seniors. Harvey is at the helm of this one, too, doing double duty as both host and executive producer (with Ellen DeGeneres joining him in the latter role). He earned an Emmy nomination as host of the first season of "Little Big Shots," with his quick-witted interactions with the kids delight- ing audiences and critics alike. "The idea of doing a followup to 'Little Big Shots' focusing on seniors struck us as a no-brain- er," said Mike Darnell, president of unscripted and alternate tele- vision for Warner Bros. "Just like the kids, they have insane skills that will amaze and surprise you — not to mention the often hysterical (and sometimes shocking) things they say. As good a host as Steve Harvey is, he may have finally met his match with this incredible set of elder statesmen." Real 'Law,' real 'Order': "Law & Order" is set to spawn yet another spinoff, only this time the stories are real. Although the original series wrapped in 2010 following an astounding 20 sea- New season of NBC's hit talent show grows up sons, its spinoff "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" is still going strong on NBC. Slated to air Thursday nights starting this fall, the new "Law & Order: True Crime" joins the fray of real-life crime anthologies that have been all the rage in recent TV seasons. For the first season, the new show will recount the infamous and brutal murders of Jose and Mary Menéndez by their sons, Lyle and Erik, in their Beverly Hills home. Casting is ongoing, but the series has already netted a prov- en winner. Four-time Emmy win- ner Edie Falco ("The Sopranos") was the first major casting announcement. She'll be portray- ing flamboyant defense attorney Leslie Abramson, who gained nationwide fame during the tele- vised and highly publicized trial. She'll be joined by Miles Gaston Villanueva ("The Young and the Restless") and Gus Halper ("Power") as the two brothers who stand accused of the grizzly killings. Like other true crime antholo- gies, this non-fiction version of "Law & Order" will focus on a different crime each season. In true "Law & Order" style, the anthology will blend elements of both a police investigation and a courtroom drama, unfolding the events of the fateful night, the investigation and the trial that followed. "Law & Order: True Crime" premieres Thursdays this fall, on NBC. 'Bang' on: It's finally happen- ing. The spinoff of "The Big Bang Theory" has been given the green light, and it's deep into production with a cast that should make the many fans of the hit comedy series happy. The prequel series, set to pre- miere on CBS immediately after its parent show Thursday, Nov. 2 (following a special preview Sept. 25), takes a look at the life of nine-year-old Sheldon, who is played by Jim Parsons ("Judging Amy") in the parent series. Called, appropriately enough, "Young Sheldon," the series stars child actor and theater critic Iain Armitage ("Big Little Lies") as child genius Sheldon Cooper who, at only nine years old, already attends high school. Parsons serves as narrator, play- ing the adult Sheldon looking back on his far-from-normal childhood. In an excellent piece of cast- ing, Zoe Perry ("Scandal") has been cast as Sheldon's non- genius mom, Mary Cooper. The character may not be a genius, but Perry's casting just might be: she's the real-life daughter of Laurie Metcalf ("Roseanne"), who recurs as Sheldon's mother in "The Big Bang Theory," mak- ing for a resemblance in both looks and mannerisms that would otherwise be tricky to nail down with just makeup and acting. Lance Barber ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") also stars as Sheldon's football-loving father, with Raegan Revord ("Modern Family") and newcom- er Montana Jordan rounding out the Cooper family as Sheldon's siblings. "The Big Bang Theory" has been a massive hit for 10 sea- sons, and for its 11th, it's going to have a new partner. "Young Sheldon" premieres on CBS this fall. Steve Harvey hosts "Little Big Shots: Forever Young" Stars on Screen off in this new episode, with a celeb- rity guest joining in the fun.
