PILOT IN PLAY

CBS has given a pilot order to an adaptation of the 1994 film True Lies. It comes from Burn Notice creator Matt Nix and producer McG. The plot follows a suburban housewife who discovers her husband is actually an international spy, and the couple joins together to take on the bad guys. James Cameron, who directed the original film, is an executive producer on this new iteration.

COMING UP AT THE CW Naomi, a superhero drama from Ava DuVernay, will follow a teen girl after a major supernatural event hits her small Northwestern town and moves her to action.

WWE’S MOST WANTED TREASURES & BIOGRAPHY

ake Storage Wars, Pawn Stars or anything to do with memorabilia, mix in some WWE flair and you will get the premise of WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures. From the search for Ric Flair’s butterfly robe to Andy Kaufman’s neck brace, prepare for the ultimate road trip as some amazing WWE Legends head out across the country to find some of the most elusive WWE collectibles. “There are certain things that just resonate with [people], and going back is like stepping into a time machine,” WWE EVP of Strategy and Talent Development Paul “Triple H” Levesque tells us (pictured above with Stephanie McMahon). “There’s a Maya Angelou quote that states, ‘People won’t remember what you said or did; they will remember how you made them feel.’ And I truly believe that. It’s especially true 4

in our business because WWE sort of makes you feel something, these characters make you feel something, they take you back to a time in your life where you felt a certain way … and there’s nothing like that.” The series captures great behind-the-scenes looks at the significance of these relics, where the items were found and who owned them. “Meeting the network of fans and the collectors … it really shows you the depth of how much WWE Superstars touch fans’ lives and how much they really mean to them,” Levesque adds. In addition to Treasures, WWE Studios and A&E will present eight original installments of the famed Biography series, which will include profiles on WWE Legends like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Booker T, Ultimate Warrior, Mick Foley, Bret “Hitman” Hart and

Shawn Michaels (one of Triple H’s best friends in the business). “A&E sort of started the grand acceptance of biographies … nobody better for us to partner with,” Levesque shares. While some of these stories have been told in some manner before, they’ve never been told this deeply. The biographies are “ways for you to engage in sort of what it takes, not only as an athlete, as a performer, but just the human story of what it takes, what it entails, and how you come to something and somebody’s passion for it,” he explains. “You don’t have to understand WWE to understand these stories, but once you do see their stories and the passion they put into it, it engages you in WWE in a different way.” Going beyond the mat and outside of the ring,

these A&E programs are ready to engage, enlighten and entertain viewers of all ages. WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures and Biography Premiere on A&E Sunday, April 18

Your TiVo Experience Road Map

TIPS FOR USING TIVO

A TiVo DVR is more than just a set-top box that also records live TV. With a number of features that make your TV-watching better — from recommendations for new shows based on the shows you currently watch, to remotely scheduling recordings with the TiVo app, to pausing a show in one room and continuing it in another using a TiVo Mini — there’s a lot you can do with the TiVo Experience.

Here’s a handy tip for getting the most out of your TiVo system: Set Up OnePass Recordings: TiVo OnePass gathers every episode of your favorite series, every game or match from a speciﬁc team, or every sporting event in a league and adds them to your My Shows list — so you can watch them on your own time. It’s an easy way to make sure you never miss an episode of your favorite show. To create a OnePass, ﬁnd a series you want to watch, then choose “Create a OnePass.” A OnePass folder for the series will be instantly created in My Shows and all available episodes will be added. For sports, do a OnePass search by full team or league name or abbreviation.

Services may not be available in all areas, and some restrictions apply. Minimum of Midco Internet 50 and cable TV are required for TiVo DVR services. Not all TiVo DVRs are compatible with the newer TiVo Experience. Contact Midco with questions. TiVo and the TiVo logo are registered trademarks of TiVo Inc. and its subsidiaries worldwide.
