16:13 - Dragon Ball Gets 1st New TV Anime in 18 Years in July

Dragon Ball Super, a brand new television anime inspired by Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball manga, will premiere on Fuji TV and other channels in July on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. This will be the first new Dragon Ball television series since Dragon Ball GT, which aired from 1996 to 1997.

The story of the anime is set a few years after the defeat of Majin Buu, when the Earth has become peaceful once again. The voice of Goku, Gohan, and Goten, Masako Nozawa commented on the new anime, saying, “We've always used the word 'chō' (Super) with Dragon Ball in commercials, games and the like, but the fact that the series titled Dragon Ball Super is beginning is the best thing ever.”

Fuji TV producer Osamu Nozaki commented on the new series as well, saying, “As I read the plot [of the series] I've already received from Akira Toriyama, my dreams for this begin to expand. An enemy even stronger than Buu or Freeza may appear...”

14:05 - The Good Wife - Season 6 Finale - Wallace Shawn to Return

EW has learned exclusively that Wallace Shawn will reprise his role as Charles Lester in The Good Wife’s season finale. As a quick refresher, Lester is better known as the lawyer/fixer who handles Lemond Bishop’s not-so-clean businesses. Let’s just say that the last time he met Alicia, they didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye.

However, considering that Kalinda submitted a slew of damning evidence against Bishop before she left town, it makes sense that Bishop will need Lester’s unique set of skills.

08:40 - Stalker - Post-Morterm - Boss Breaks Down Beth vs. Ray Showdown with TVLine

TVLINE | Had you been planning Beth’s confrontation with Ray from the very beginning?
It was always in the cards. We wanted our season-long story to be Beth-centric so that we could really get to know her and reveal the vulnerability inside of her and create a multi-dimensional character. The ghost of her past has come back to literally abduct her, and she’s not just fighting Ray, she’s fighting for her future. To see her fend for herself, we have to watch the armor crack a bit, and we see her stumble. And next season, we plan to [focus on] Jack.

TVLINE | What do you have in mind for his season-long arc?
He comes from New York, and clearly, he didn’t just leave New York, he got kicked out. [Laughs] …He left some unfinished business, and it comes back in a new way [in Season 2]. It allows us to open up the world and not tell just stalking cases. The thing about the TAU [Threat Assessment Unit] is, they handle threat management. They’re a threat team, so they handle any threat, not just stalking cases. They have their hand in everything, and that’s why in Season 2, we’ll be able to expand our universe. If we have a Season 2. [Laughs]

TVLINE | This episode had a lot of fighting choreography, and the last act took place mostly in the dark. Was it challenging from a technical perspective?
Oh, absolutely. We have an amazing crew that didn’t have a lot of prep time, because this was a storyline we were going to push until later in the season, and then we moved it up for our cliffhanger hiatus. We thought the best cliffhanger would be Beth [in Ray’s trunk], to give a must-see factor. So this was a big, huge ordeal, between the fire and the stunts. It was huge. Luckily, we have Maggie Q, who is quite a pro at this stuff.
