  • William Shatner talks turkey in a new State Farm adWilliam Shatner talks turkey in a new State Farm adWe all know William Shatner as a respected thespian of television and silver screen. But did you also know he is a lover of deep fried turkey? With some help from State Farm Insurance, Shatner has released a video that explains the dangers that can occur when you're not careful with your fryer. Just in time for Thanksgiving.

    In the three-plus minute clip, Shatner shows off his taste for turkey as well as his comedic chops. He relays his desire for a moister meal, his bliss at discovering the deep fried method, as well as a safety mishap that cost him some arm hair (and a little skin).

  • Exclusive: Watch the Series Premiere of ‘The Exes’ in Full Before It Airs

    A host of familiar faces return to the small screen on "The Exes" (TV Land) A host of familiar faces return to the small screen on "The Exes" (TV Land) Hot off the success of its throwback sitcoms "Hot in Cleveland" and "Happily Divorced," TV Land steps back into the way-back machine for another new comedy debuting this month. TV vets Kristen Johnston ("3rd Rock from the Sun"), Donald Faison ("Scrubs"), and Wayne Knight ("Seinfeld") star in "The Exes," a new comedy about starting over after divorce. "The Exes" doesn't premiere until November 30 -- but you can watch the series premiere in full before it airs, right here on Yahoo! TV.

    From "Frasier" scribe Mark Reisman, "The Exes" centers on Stuart (David Alan Basche, "The Starter Wife"), a newly divorced man whose divorce attorney, Holly (Johnston), helps him move in with two other divorced guys, Phil (Faison) and Haskell (Knight). Holly's assistant, Eden (Kelly Stables, "Two and a Half Men"), keeps an eye on Holly's work schedule -- and personal life. Oh, and did we mention Holly is also the landlord of the guys' building and lives right across the hall?

  • Jason Ritter and Lauren Graham have eyes for each other on "Parenthood" (Trae Patton/NBC)Jason Ritter and Lauren Graham have eyes for each other on "Parenthood" (Trae Patton/NBC)Fans of NBC's ensemble drama "Parenthood" have watched the romance heat up between Sarah Braverman (played by "Gilmore Girls" alum Lauren Graham) and her much younger boyfriend, Mark Cyr (played by Jason Ritter, "Joan of Arcadia"), this season. And despite the fact that the series has more than a dozen main cast members, the duo's plotline has come front and center now that Sarah's addict of an ex-husband, Seth (John Corbett), is apparently out of the picture.

    Lauren and Jason talked to Yahoo! TV about the show's third-season "snowball effect," the fun of being part of such a big cast, and whether they've ever done the May-December thing themselves (separately, of course).

    How does this season compare with previous ones?
    Lauren Graham: I think it's juicier. I think the third season is kind of a cool time, because, remember, we didn't have a full first season, so it's just sort of getting into some of these characters' complexity, so I like it.

    Jason, you came in at the end of the first

  • In the latest installment of TV Fact or Fiction, we focused on a scene from this week's episode of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" where Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Amaro (Danny Pino) were able to quickly track the location of a man even though the cell phone he used did not have GPS enabled.

    Could this actually happen in real life? Seventy-two percent of our readers said it could, and they're right!

    According to Timothy J. Hardiman, the technical consultant for "SVU" since 2004 and a retired inspector for the New York Police Department, the police have been locating and tracking cell phones long before the GPS feature was even available in them. Here's Hardiman's explanation:

    "Phone companies have the technical ability to tell which towers a phone's signal "hits" when it is used. The phone company provides the effective range of the tower -- how far away a phone can be and still have its signal reach the tower. A circle is drawn using a radius of that length. The

  • Dean, Ted, and Colette land in Haiti this week (ABC)Dean, Ted, and Colette land in Haiti this week (ABC)ABC's jetsetting '60s drama "Pan Am" has briefly touched on all the political unrest swirling around during that era. (Remember that Cuban evacuation in the premiere?) But on this week's all-new episode, entitled "Unscheduled Departure," the crew is forced to land right in the middle of a hotbed of political upheaval to save one of its passengers. The episode doesn't air until Sunday, but we have a first look at it for you right here.

    The episode finds the Pan Am crew on a flight to Caracas, along with a wealthy passenger (played by telenovela star Aaron Diaz) who charms the stewardesses. But when the passenger falls ill, the plane has to make an emergency landing in Haiti to get him medical help. And unfortunately, the island nation is being torn apart by political unrest following a devastating series of tropical storms.
