When he isn't making us laugh on shows like "Harley Quinn" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" (not to mention in ever-present "Seinfeld" reruns and that one "Criminal Minds" episode where he has an incredible wig), Jason Alexander works behind the camera as a director, writer, and producer. By this point in his considerable career, the actor and artist has helmed several noteworthy projects, including episodes of hit sitcoms like "Everybody Hates Chris" and "Young Sheldon," plus, yes, "Criminal Minds."

Despite the strong trivia culture surrounding Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld's masterpiece comedy "Seinfeld," lots of people don't actually seem to know about Alexander's directorial contribution to the show. He actually cut his teeth as a filmmaker on the season 3 episode "The Good Samaritan," which became Alexander's first-ever credit as a director in 1992. Later in the show's run, he also directed two clip show episodes, although corny, self-congratulatory clip shows...

Since its debut in 2003, NCIS has captivated audiences with its gripping naval investigations and complex characters, including Emily Fornell, whose sudden death shocked fans. Over the years, the CBS procedural NCIS universe has introduced numerous recurring characters, with Tobias Fornell and Diane Sterling being particularly memorable. FBI Agent Tobias Fornell (Joe Spano) is a close ally of NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), while Diane Sterling (Melinda McGraw) is Fornell's ex-wife and Gibbs' second ex-wife. Their unique dynamic and enduring camaraderie provided a compelling backdrop, particularly when their daughter, Emily Fornell (Juliette Angelo), became involved.

As a teenager, Emily Fornell first appeared in season 4 and quickly became a beloved recurring character. Her journey through adolescence included struggles with addiction, which was poignantly explored in later seasons. Emily's relationship with her father, Tobias, was both touching and heartbreaking, as he tirelessly tried to help her through recovery. However, her...

Spoilers ahead for Ghosts season 4, episode 2, "Sam's Dad."

Sam's Dad (Dean Norris) debuts in Ghosts season 4, episode 2, and the installment finally explains Frank's past and future in his daughter's life. The introduction of Sam's dad is an exciting development for the writer and the Ghosts' Woodstone B&b owner, who doesn't have much community besides the house full of ghosts she lives with. Sam's mom, Sheryl (Rachael Harris), debuted in Ghosts season 1, episode 11, "Sam's Mom." However, she was already dead. While Sam (Rose McIver) was able to reconcile with her mom as a ghost, the experience allowed Sheryl to move on, truncating more mother/daughter time.

While it was neat to see Sams mom, introducing her dad is even better. Sams dad is still alive, so Sam can build a familial relationship that includes her husband, Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), who doesnt share her gift to see the dead. The Ghosts...

Spoilers ahead for Ghosts season 4, episode 2, "Sam's Dad."Ghosts season 4, episode 2, "Sam's Dad," sets up haunting new storylines for Sam (Rose McIver), Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), and the ghosts of the CBS series. Ahead of season 4, Ghosts announced it would add two new characters to its fourth installment. Ghosts season 4, episode 1 introduced a Puritan ghost, Patience (Mary Holland), who moved into Woodstone Estate following a reconciliation with Isaac Higgintoot (Brandon Scott Jones). Isaac had previously banished the Puritan woman to the dirt when he sneezed and let go of her hand.

Episode 2 introduces the other character Ghosts season 4's story promised: Sam's dad. The character presents new opportunities for Sam to develop since she hasn't had much family around. Sam's mom was introduced as a ghost in Ghosts season 1, episode 11, "Sam's Mom," but the character's storyline was short-lived, with the character getting "sucked off" during the episode, leaving Sam without any close family.

There’s a double something and a couple of first somethings coming on the CBS hitcom Ghosts.

Rose McIver (who plays Sam), Brandon Scott Jones (Isaac), Román Zaragoza (Sasappis) and Sheila Carrasco (Flower) held court at New York Comic Con on Saturday evening, in a panel Q&a hosted by CBS Mornings‘ Tony Dokoupil. (Utkarsh Ambudkar and Asher Grodman were set to also appear, but couldn’t make it.)

Where to begin with Paul T. Goldman, the new Peacock docu-comedy largely written by and starring Paul T. Goldman himself? Perhaps it is necessary to explain who and what Paul T. Goldman is. He is a Florida man nearing the end of middle age, twice-divorced, father to a now-adult son, bouncing from boring job to boring job. But he is also — maybe? sort of? possibly? — the protagonist of a real-life suspense thriller involving deceit, fraud and sex trafficking.

Or perhaps he is simply the comic punching bag for Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm director Jason Woliner,...

CBS’ NCIS with Tuesday night’s Season 16 finale spun an already compelling story in which Fornell’s daughter, Emily, was revealed to be battling an opioid habit. Her near brush with death led Fornell to challenge Gibbs to hunt down her dealer and bring him to justice, no matter what. That task was echoed by visions of Diane (played again by Melinda McGraw) that Gibbs’ dealt/squabbled with through much of the hour.

Pat Healy (The Post), Melinda McGraw (Outcast) and Michael Harney (Orange Is the New Black) are set to recur opposite Peter Sarsgaard, Kyle Gallner, Kodi Smit-McPhee and David Strathairn in CBS All Access’ straight-to-series true-crime drama Interrogation.

Co-created by Swedish writer-producer Anders Weidemann and John Mankiewicz, Interrogation is an original concept based on a true story that spanned more than 30 years, in which a young man (Gallner) was charged and convicted of brutally murdering his mother.

The series’ first nine episodes will be available to binge in any order with each episode structured around an interrogation. The multi-linear approach will give viewers the opportunity to follow their instincts and develop their own interpretations of the facts of the case and ultimately decide innocence or guilt. The season finale will be released at a later date.

Healy will play a criminal defense lawyer representing the young man charged with killing his mother.

Did Pride get a new job or just new weapons?

Pride never ventured near his new office during an intensely personal case on NCIS: New Orleans Season 5 Episode 5.

Instead, it was Pride, Hannah, and his team on the series' 100th episode.

And his father and his new half-brother, truth be told.

Was anyone shocked that Pride had a sibling? Or were you more surprised that more of Cassius' spawn haven't shown up yet?

Likewise, was anyone shocked that Cassius hadn't learned his lesson and was back in trouble again? In fact, in trouble with multiple people?

Related: NCIS: New Orleans Season 5 Episode 4 Review: Legacy

It was an interesting framing device to have Pride's subconscious mind feeding him relevant memories about Cassius and Jimmy while he was sleeping.

So I guess that's not a weapon. It was just the dreams of one tired middle-aged man as he sorted through what was uppermost on his mind.

Recently, TV Line talked with NCIS producer, Gary Glasberg, and he was able to deliver a couple of additional teaser spoilers that will be happening in the 2nd half of season 12. It turns out that we're going to see a new episode that's directed by Leon star ,Rocky Carroll. It will involve a gay Medal Of Honor nominee. Flashbacks to Tony's teenage military academy days, will also be shown. In their spoiler report, they stated: "TV's most watched drama returns with a bang as we finally meet Gibbs' second ex-wife, Rebecca Chase (played by Jeri Ryan) – in an episode that also brings back Melinda McGraw as Diane. Show boss Gary Glasberg says that Rebecca's appearance is "unexpected, but welcome," and that with Gibbs' first ex also on hand, "You see the different chemistry that he has with different women." The "action-packed" episode also fires back up the Sergei Mishnev arc,...

Jeri Ryan has landed a guest-starring role on NCIS as Gibbs’ (Mark Harmon) never-before-seen ex-wife, EW has learned. The Body of Proof and Leverage alum will play Rebecca, who will appear in an episode slated for January 2015. Gibbs has been previously married four times; three relationships ended in divorce and one in the death of his wife (the part was played by both Darby Stanchfield and Aviva). Just two of his ex-wives (played by Kathleen York and Melinda McGraw) have appeared on-screen. "After 12 seasons there was still one ex-wife to cast opposite Gibbs and we found her in the beautiful and talented Jeri Ryan,...

Seven of Nine is two of three.

Meaning, TVLine has learned that Jeri Ryan will fill the plum NCIS role of Leroy Jethro Gibbs’ never-before-seen second ex-wife, Rebecca, who will be introduced in a January 2015 episode of the long-running CBS drama.

NCIS showrunner Gary Glasberg first revealed to TVLine the plan to meet Gibbs’ missing ex last January, saying, “I can promise you that it is probably going to get touched on in Season 12.” Introducing the character, he effused, promises to be “[storyline] gold.”

Perhaps it’s just me (it is), but I can’t help but feel NCIS is spinning its wheels now that it’s in its eleventh season. Despite being the number one drama on television, we can’t deny that it is just a CBS procedural that’s been on for over a decade. At some point the episodes begin to blend into one another and the ideas don’t seem all that inspired anymore. What makes me think this is just how excited the creatives behind NCIS seem to be about the possibility of finally introducing Gibbs’ second ex-wife. Sure, it’s someone we’ve heard about, but has remained entirely unknown and mysterious. Is it really worth a whole storyline for?

While it hasn’t been officially ordered, it looks like Season 12 is going to be the place for this character’s introduction. Gary Glasberg told TVLine that Ex-wife No.

CBS’ NCIS resumes Season 11 tonight at 8/7c with the renewed threat of terrorist Benham Parsa, whose handiwork first targeted Gibbs’ team in the fall premiere.

Well, according to TV Line, we will soon meet Hollis’ wife. Melinda McGraw will play her. You may remember McGraw as Don Draper’s Season 2 mistress on Mad Men. I recognize her from The X-Files as Scully’s ill-fated sister. She has also appeared on NCIS.

I would have pictured Hollis’ wife as an older southern woman, content to bake pies and smile big during campaign season,...

Melinda McGraw will play the "smart and ambitious" wife of Hollis Doyle (Gregg Henry) in ABC's "Scandal," TVLine reports.

McGraw, perhaps best known as Don Draper's mistress in "Mad Men" Season 2, will debut as Deborah in an April episode, and knowing what we know of husband Hollis -- the man responsible for rigging Fitz's (Tony Goldwyn) election -- we're guessing she's got her fair share of dirty laundry stashed away.

Scandal has tracked down a wife for oil tycoon Hollis Doyle.

Melinda McGraw - whose extensive resume includes stints on Mad Men, Harry's Law and NCIS - will debut in April as Deborah, an intelligent and ambitious New York native.

TV Line first reported this casting news, though details remain scarce on just what kind of role Mrs. Doyle will play.

Scandal Season 2 is on a mini hiatus and will return with new episodes on March 21.

It seems only fitting that the wife of Scandal‘s maniacal, Machiavellian Hollis Doyle counts Mad Men among her most memorable credits.

TVLine has learned exclusively that Melinda McGraw, who played Don Draper’s Season 2 mistress Bobbie Barrett on the AMC drama, is joining Scandal as the wife of Gregg Henry’s ruthless oil tycoon.

As previously scooped by TVLine, her character, Deborah, is described as a smart and ambitious New York native. She’s slated to debut in April.

McGraw’s TV-packed resume also includes stints on The X-Files (as Scully...

NCIS, Season 10, Episode 9: “Devil’s Trifecta”

Written by Steven D. Binder

Directed by Arvin Brown

Airs Tuesdays at 8pm (Et) on CBS

“We’re working on an IRS fraud case. You sleeping alone is more interesting.”

Truer words were never spoken. Tony can almost be credited for reading viewers’ minds when he comments on the case-of-the-week and McGee’s love life, comparing the routine procedural to the potentially-riveting “sexual escapades” of his co-worker. The return of Gibbs and Fornell’s ex-wife has brought tension to the squad room and rumors to the mill.

The last time anyone saw Diane Sterling (Melinda McGraw), she was professing her undying affection for Gibbs, realizing that she would never be to him what his first wife was, his one true love. Here she returns with a surprise for all: a badge. Now a member of the IRS crime division and an equal to...

They say that marriage can be a bitch, but tonight's NCIS episode, "Devil's Trifecta," gives that a whole new meaning in my opinion.

It's one thing to have to deal with an ex-wife, pay alimony, and all of the other crap associated with making a bad choice in a spouse, but when that ex-wife actually almost gets you killed, that's a completely different story.

With as many ex-wives as Gibbs' has had, you might have guessed the target would be him, but the poor victim turns out to be Agent Tobias Fornell (Joe Spano). My favorite sidekick of Gibbs had always been Mike Franks (Muse Watson), and ever since his character was killed off, my favorite has been Fornell.

If there is an episode that features Gibbs and Fornell, you can almost guarantee it to be a hoot-feast, and tonight's episode was no exception.

As serious as the episode began with Fornell almost being killed,...
