Saturday Night Live took on Obamacare in its cold open, where Kate McKinnon impersonated Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Sebelius addressed the uproar about HealthCare.gov's bumpy launch. She noted millions of Americans had flocked to the site hoping to sign up for Obamacare, but "unfortunately the site was only designed to handle six users at a time."
Breaking ice is no longer merely slang for what Walt and Jesse do after cooking a batch of meth on Breaking Bad.
It's also the title of a new Breaking Bad-themed ice skating tribute. The project is the brainchild of Sharidan Sotelo, an assistant editor on Breaking Bad and an ice skating enthusiast. She conceived it as being in the vein of dream ballets ala musicals such as Oklahoma and AnAmerican in Paris, in which the dances reflect what is going on with the characters.
NBC unveiled its new Friday block last night with the return of Grimm and the launch of Dracula at 10 p.m. Fast National returns give the freshman series a 1.8 rating with adults 18-49 and 5.3 million viewers. The network's first scripted push into the hour in some time, it won the hour in the demo and held 100 percent of its lead-in. Grimm (1.8 adults) was up two-tenths from last fall's Friday return (1.6 adults).

Grimm returns for season three with Nick (David Giuntoli) stuck in a precarious situation.
In the finale, Nick was thrown into a coffin after being struck with a toxic goo, beginning his transformation into becoming a zombie, and presumably being sent off to Europe with Capt. Renard's (Sasha Roiz) villainous brother Eric (James Frain).
"It seems like a natural outgrow at the end of the season and we wanted to put Nick through some serious changes," executive producer David Greenwalt tells The Hollywood Reporter of the Oct. 25 return. "We have repercussions that will stick with him for a while -- moral, physical and mental repercussions."

Though it comes as little surprise given Friday's scheduling news and the recent script order, Fox is making its plans to stick with Dads official. The network has ordered an additional nine episodes from the Seth MacFarlane executive produced series, bringing its freshman order to a full 22 episodes. It joins fellow freshmen Brooklyn Nine-Nine (picked up for the back nine) and Sleepy Hollow (renewed for a second season) as the third new Fox show to get a big vote of confidence this season.

In a video posted on Facebook, hosts Nev Schulman and Max Joseph announced the renewal for their reality series. "Catfish season three! yay!" the two enthusiastically reveal.

It's been brewing ever since Captain Hook was introduced into the Storybrooke world in the second season, but things take a step forward (or backward, depending on your perspective) in the Hook-centric Oct. 27 episode between Hook and Emma. Not only do they [spoiler alert!] kiss (not knowing that Neal is still alive), but Hook and David -- poisoned with deadly Dreamshade -- embark on a mission to find a way to finally leave the treacherous world of Neverland.
Colin O'Donoghue, who plays Hook, talks to The Hollywood Reporter about Emma and Hook's "surprising" kiss, the possible aftermath with Neal, Killian's "idealistic" past and teaming with David.
