5 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, September 19, 2014 By Andrew Warren TV Media A 'good' man: Premiere season is in full swing with our old standbys and new favorites hitting the TV screen night by night. CBS has its own fair share of hits, but it's never one to rest on its laurels: guest stars and new characters abound in its packed stable of prime-time fare. "The Good Wife" definitely stands out from the crowd. The show's a smart and sharp po- litical drama that premieres its sixth season Sunday, Sept. 21, on CBS. Success is not going to its figurative head, though, and the Golden Globe Award-win- ning show is bringing back a beloved actor who hasn't been seen in a TV role in a decade. David Hyde Pierce will be play- ing a major role in season 6, and the return to the small screen will be something of a homecoming. Pierce co-starred alongside Kelsey Grammer ("Cheers") and Jane Leeves ("Hot in Cleveland") in "Frasier," one of the iconic comedies of the 1990s. Pierce has been a big draw on Broadway, and, thanks to his distinctive voice, is well known for his voice acting — "The Simpsons," "A Bug's Life" (1998) and "Treasure Planet" (2002) being a few of his credits. Rumored to be coming aboard for the season's sev- enth episode, Pierce will be joining an accomplished and diverse cast that includes Juli- anna Margulies ("ER"), Matt Czuchry ("Gilmore Girls"), Christine Baranski ("Cy- bill"), Archie Pan- jabi ("The Con- stant Gardener," 2005) and Alan Cumming ("GoldenEye," 1995). Already a big hit with critics and audiences alike, "The Good Wife" certainly didn't need to hook a catch as big as Pierce, but its quality writing and topical plot lines must make the drama as appealing to actors as it does to viewers. Don't miss season 6's premiere Sunday, Sept. 21, on CBS, and watch for David Hyde Pierce to show up later in the season. Basket case: Zach Galifi- anakis is a hot commodity these days, and it's no surprise that FX wasn't clowning around when it snatched up his latest project. "Baskets," from Galifianakis and Louis C.K. ("Louis"), has been ordered by the network after a successful pilot, with eyes set on a 2016 release date. "Baskets" is a comedy that follows a man (Galifianakis) with a dream — a dream to be taken seriously as a profession- al clown. When he's denied en- rollment at a school for clowns in Paris, though, he's forced to take a job at a local rodeo. Galifianakis has been active on the comedy scene for years, with small roles in "Bubble Boy" (2001), "Into the Wild" (2007) and "The Muppets" (2011). His casting as one of the leads in "The Hangover" (2009), though, really put him on people's radar. He's gone on to star in its two sequels (in 2011 and 2013), "Due Date" (2010) and "The Campaign" (2012). His Internet show "Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifiana- kis" has also drawn attention, especially after President Obama appeared on it earlier this year. The bare-bones in- terview show has drawn crit- ical acclaim, a virtual revolv- ing door of big-name guests and even earned itself an Emmy Award. With Galifianakis on the screen, and both him and Louis C.K. work- ing behind the camera, "Baskets" has two come- dy titans in its corner, and that bodes well for audi- ences. Watch for "Bas- kets" some time in 2016.

The Kardashians were robbed, and now they're refusing to air the new season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" until the police find who robbed them. Which explains why today, the police stopped looking. The Kardashians are outraged that they've been robbed three times this year, but the police haven't caught the culprits.

In a new interview, Ford said that he is still sober and he'll never be caught doing anything illegal ever again. Then he said, "Unless someone's taping me." Rob Ford also said that he is committed to living a healthier life, and his days of going to the liquor store are over. Which would be great if he weren't addicted to crack. late laughs Eastern Travel 3 x 5 Julianna Margulies stars in "The Good Wife"
