Guest Star Goodness: Jill Hennessy’s Role Revealed on CBS’ Bull

Bull is Both Giver and Gainer in “A Business of Favors”

In Bull, We Trust When Playing the “Name Game”

Thank Me Later: Will Trent
[Warning: spoilers ahead.] I’m on record as loving and losing shows over at ABC so I’m usually very reticent to pick something up on the network until it’s been renewed, and I seriously hope I’m not jinxing it, but I took a chance on the deeply odd and very sweet…
