She talked about her passion for Star Wars, her career in video games, Comic Con and her Jack Russell Terrier. Learn more about up-and-comer Catherine Taber.

Now that August is here, our thoughts are turning to the new TV season in September. Lucky for us, we don't have to wait until November, after the World Series, to see our favorite cartoons on Fox. Get premiere dates for returning animated Fox shows, as well as details about two new shows coming next spring.

Futurama relieves the heat with a few of my favorite episodes this week on Comedy Central, including "A Tale of Two Santas." But, please, how many times will we be forced to watch "A Leela of Her Own" and "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back?" Fox is pre-empting their second hour of animation on Sunday night to run a marathon of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I like that show, but, man, Lena Headey needs a new expression. See the full animated TV schedule for more animated TV fun.
