DEPARTMENTSeditor’s letterWelcome home, Hugh Laurie. The House alum is back and moving into several new TV addresses–including AMC, where he’s starring opposite Tom Hiddleston in the new spy series The Night Manager (premiering April 19). Later in the month, he returns to HBO for Veep—and this season, he just might be POTUS. Then this fall, he’ll play another tormented doc in Hulu’s psychological thriller Chance, which already has a two-season commitment.Clearly, Laurie’s campaign to Make America Hugh Again is working, and we couldn’t be happier—TV GUIDE MAGAZINE put Laurie on the cover a whopping 16 times during his House run. Our cover affair with the actor started with a 2005 issue in which we named him one of TV’s Sexiest Men. (“He’s very tall,” his costar Sela Ward told us, “with…1 min

DEPARTMENTSWHY THE VOICE STILL ROCKS!Carson Daly is amped—and with good reason. Season 10 of The Voice (Mondays and Tuesdays, 8/7c, NBC) is firing on all cylinders as the battle rounds conclude March 22 and the knockouts begin March 28, with Miley Cyrus coming aboard as the key adviser. “This season, the talent’s stronger, the coaches’ chemistry’s better, the fights are more fun, the road to the finals is more actionpacked,” says Daly, the show’s host and producer. “It is high stakes.”So it makes sense that 13 million viewers are tuning in. The reality competition boasts an A-list lineup of coaches— Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Pharrell Williams and Adam Levine—and a finetuned format that focuses on feel-good, family-friendly fun. “The world can be so divisive,” Daly says. “I think The Voice came in at the…2 min
DEPARTMENTSWho’s the Best Coach?ADAM LEVINENumber of seasons: 10Wins: 3 (Season 1’s Javier Colon, Season 5’s Tessanne Chin, Season 9’s Jordan Smith)The expert opinion: The Maroon 5 frontman’s greatest power is his song selection for contestants, says Medved, citing Chin’s rendition of Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song.” “Tessanne’s from Jamaica, and that was a really good match,” Medved says. But Levine may have a problem grooming artists for commercial success, as evidenced by the meager sales of Chin’s debut album. In the first week, it sold just 7,000 copies.CHRISTINA AGUILERANumber of seasons: 6Wins: Still waiting…The expert opinion: Of the current roster (CeeLo, Usher, Shakira and Gwen Stefani have also taken turns in the chairs), Aguilera has the worst success rate. Medved attributes that to her frequently predictable song choices. “She goes for the lowhanging fruit,”…2 min
DEPARTMENTSSHOWDOWN!The big confrontation that fans of The Walking Dead have been waiting for is finally here. The survivors of the zombie apocalypse have spent the second half of Season 6 waging war against the Saviors, a band of marauding bullies who demand goods and supplies from smaller communities in exchange for protection. While there has been plenty of talk about Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), the leader of the Saviors has remained absent from the action. But that all changes during the April 3 season finale, when Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and the Alexandrians come face-to-face with the psychopath for the first time.“It’s like meeting the president or the pope,” says executive producer Greg Nicotero, who also directed the episode. “You don’t just walk into the Oval Office; you’ve got to…2 min
DEPARTMENTSGet Ready for More FearHUNGRY FOR MORE zombies? Season 2 of The Walking Dead’s prequel, Fear the Walking Dead, begins April 10 on AMC in a new setting: the Pacific Ocean. Following the fall of Los Angeles, Fear’s survivors—led by high school counselor Madison (Kim Dickens) and English teacher Travis (Cliff Curtis)—have boarded a luxury yacht and are hitting the open waters in search of sanctuary. “It is not going to be The Love Boat with zombies,” promises showrunner Dave Erickson, who also confirms that the zombies cannot swim. “They can wade and their movement in water is really dictated by the level of decomposition and gases, which can be creepy or interesting.” All hands on deck!…1 min
