Thomas about his children

Thomas Gibson, 44, who is best known as Greg on Dharma & Greg, talked to Parade Magazine about what his life is like with children. Since his family lives in San Antonio, but his new show Criminal Minds keeps him in Los Angeles, he sees his children during weekends,

[My wife] Cristina will say, 'Enjoy your nap on the plane.' That's the most sleep I'll get after I hear those voices calling, 'Let's play Daddy Monster!' They have insatiable energy. My mother tells me I was just like that—bouncing off the walls.

He has learned how to raise children from his mother.

It's [his childhood] made me realize that I don't want to suffocate my children. It's hard not to do. In a few years, my kids will tell you otherwise, but I think that I am pretty sensitive to it.

Thomas has taken a few cues about fatherhood from his character Hotch on Criminal Minds,

As an FBI agent, 'Hotch' has a big responsibility. He also thinks about giving his little boy a better life. Believe me, I think about that with my sons and daughter. It's a very tricky thing.

Gibson has sons J.P., 7, and Travis, 4 1/2 and daughter Agatha Marie, 2 1/2, with wife Cristina.

Literary Superstar

Jenna Elfman, who enjoyed success on Dharma & Greg and not-so-much success on the comedy Courting Alex, is going to give it another try. The new single-camera comedy, called Literary Superstar, comes from Darren Star and stars Elfman as a book publicist. She’s the publicist with a heart, but the threat of budget cuts make it harder for her to hang on to her clients. She does manage to strike a deal with the corporate powers-that-be to maintain her smaller “quirkier” authors. And you just know that quirkier translates to comedy. ‘Cause quirky folks sure are funny. Currently, Elfman is tied up with a bun in the oven, but once she has the baby, she is on board to begin filming in the fall.
