Soap opera fans have had a rough and appropriately dramatic ride the last couple of years with several long-running daytime dramas getting the ax. But now, hope has returned for fans of ABC's "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" -- both of which have been revived online via Hulu and iTunes, thanks to production company Prospect Park.

Want more to ease your weary heart? How about some heartthrobs? Here's an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the men of Llanview from the new iteration of "One Life to Live."

Woods's Bo Buchanan to young studs Josh Kelly as Cutter Wentworth and newbie Corbin Bleu as Jeffrey King, it's clear that these guys are over the moon to be involved in the show's resurrection, and they dished on their characters today.

Are you ready to rock?! How about bite the head off a dove? OK, forget the dove, but the upcoming "CSI" finale is definitely going hardcore rock 'n' roll with a heavy-metal cameo by the Ozzy Osbourne-fronted band Black Sabbath. And we've got an exclusive sneak peek at the episode that will make your ears bleed … in a good way.

The CSI team is on the hunt for who's behind a string of murders, and the investigation leads D.B. Russell (Ted Danson) and Conrad Ecklie (Marc Vann) straight to a Black Sabbath concert -- where band members Osbourne, Tony Iommi (guitarist), and Geezer Butler (bassist) are performing their new single, "End of the Beginning," from their album "13" -- slated for U.S. release on June 11.

Did we mention that it's the Season 13 finale? In a statement, executive producer Don McGill said, "Seeing as the album is titled '13' and this is the finale of 'CSI' Season 13, it seemed like the perfect match. We

Max Greenfield does lovable jerk like no other as Schmidt on Fox's "New Girl." He's confident, he's got a great vocabulary, and he's a hard worker. Does Greenfield mind when fans think he's like Schmidt? "I could care less. I think it's nice. First of all, people seem to like Schmidt a lot," Greenfield told Ben Lyons of Yahoo!'s "The Sidebar," when they sat down to chat about the Season 2 finale, Taylor Swift's guest spot, and most important, Schmidt's killer workout routine and the "Veronica Mars" Kickstarter.

How and why did the hilarious, fitness-inspiring viral video come to be? It all started when Vulture came out with a faux workout-DVD meme using Greenfield's head on Richard Simmons's body, thus making a Schmidt fitness video. Greenfield wanted to up the ante, saying, "Well, all right, why don't I show you what the actual footage would look like? And then within three days, we shot that goofy Spin video. And it kinda took on a life

Being as funny as Chris Rock is a lot of pressure -- especially for a 12-year-old! Tyler James Williams, who played a fictional version of a young Rock on the UPN/The CW sitcom "Everybody Hates Chris," stopped by to chat with Michael Yo about those early auditions in front of Rock (he tried out six times!), the downside of looking good, and what's he's up to today.

Can you imagine missing out on a life-changing role because you're too good-looking? That's exactly what almost happened to Williams -- who won a 2007 NAACP Image Award for the role -- because Rock thought he wasn't awkward enough to portray his childhood self. "[It's] like a backhanded compliment. I didn't know how to feel about that. I really didn't know how to take that one in," Williams told Yo.

But apparently, it's true that Rock wasn't the best-looking kid, according to Williams, who joked about the comedian's adolescent appearance

Picking out the perfect stroller for a first child is not an easy task for anyone; there are so many options! It's particularly challenging for Bill Klein and Dr. Jennifer Arnold of TLC's "The Little Couple," who recently adopted 3-year-old William from China. Not only do they have to find a stroller that suits their tastes, they need one that's functional for their stature.

While they're at it, they should probably pick up two! News recently broke that "The Little Couple's" little family is not going to be so little anymore. Klein and Arnold just revealed to People that they are adopting a 19-month-old girl with dwarfism from India, whom they've named Zoey. Congrats!

In this exclusive sneak peek at tonight's episode, Klein and Arnold are testing out a few stroller options for William -- some of which are cumbersome for 3-foot-2-inch Arnold, in particular. "We need to look at it from the perspective of, if I'm not around, can

The NYPD and Homeland Security butt heads on tonight's "Castle" episode, "The Human Factor." In this exclusive sneak peek, Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion), Homicide Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), and their team are bewildered when Homeland Security bans them from an outdoor murder scene. Not surprisingly, Beckett is not taking this lying down.

As she and Castle circumvent the yellow tape and walk on to the scene where an exploded vehicle is being seized, they're met by Federal Agent Guerrero (Jed Bernard), who says, "Let me save you the trouble. We're taking the car. I'm sorry, but that vehicle is part of a federal investigation. If you people [interfere] in any way, we'll arrest you for obstruction."

The plot thickens when Detective Kevin Ryan (Seamus Dever) informs them that, according to witnesses, two men associated with the feds were staking out the car before it blew up, and that Homeland

Fox's mind-bending series "Fringe" might be over, but the upcoming DVD/Blu-ray release of the fifth and final season will satisfy fanatics in need of more alternate-universe fodder.

In this exclusive sneak peek at bonus footage from the DVDs, creator J. J. Abrams discusses the show's pilot and the sci-fi drama's origins: "'Fringe' is my favorite kind of show because it takes people that you really like, that you really care about, that you want to be with and work with and know, and it puts them into the scariest situations you've ever seen in your life. There are some scenes in this pilot that I think are straight out of my and our nightmares."

Fun fact: The show was called "The Lab" in Abrams's mind when he was conceiving it. After that, he and co-creators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci tossed around a bunch of long-term ideas before

"The Big Bang Theory" might be the highest-rated comedy on TV, but the sitcom -- now in its sixth season -- isn't resting on its geek-chic laurels. Case in point: Bob Newhart! (He even managed to squeeze in a dream reference to his hit '70s/'80s shows.) The 83-year-old comedy legend guest starred in Thursday night's episode, "The Proton Resurgence," as Professor Proton (think Mr. Wizard), and man, did he make science cool for a young Sheldon (Jim Parsons). Maybe a little too cool, because now Sheldon's totally creeping out the former kids' TV show host. The megagenius is not exactly known for his adherence to social norms, after all.

When Sheldon finds out that his childhood idol is available for kids' parties and events, he wastes no time writing a fat check and hiring Professor Proton. But it's not for a kids' party, it's just so that Professor Proton can come over, hang out, put on a private show, and -- if Sheldon gets his greatest wish -- "take 12 pictures with us so we can make a
