There are many TV festivals that take place around the globe, but it is pretty easy to figure out why the Monte Carlo TV Festival is so popular. We could make a long list explaining all of the various reasons why, or we could just say this: It’s in Monte Carlo, and people like being […]
‘Downton Abbey’ season 5: Could Joanne Froggatt go from Anna Bates to Bond Girl?
If there is a show to use as a platform seemingly these days, it is “Downton Abbey.” Dan Stevens has landed a variety of indie roles since leaving the show, and the departing Lily James is set to be the title character in the upcoming feature film version of “Cinderella.” So who is next to […]
‘Graceland’ season 2, episode 1 review: Mike makes his move
Tonight, “Graceland” returned to USA with an episode that was bold, controversial, and also perfect for setting the stage for the rest of the season. There was a certain arc in here that felt almost like a pilot, especially when you made it to the point where Mike decided that he was moving back in, […]
‘Under the Dome’ season 2 spoilers: Show bosses on stakes, surprises, and more
Now that it is in its second season, we are starting to finally feel more than ever before that “Under the Dome” is really entering uncharted waters. Now that there is a second season, the Stephen King book is not the only template anymore. They can start to rely more on some other things, including […]
‘The 100’ season 2: The CW show WILL return, but when?
Tonight marked the end of “The 100” on The CW, or what we like to refer to as the unexpected sow that could. We don’t feel like it is really that much of a slam to say that we did not expect a second-season renewal, mostly because shows introduced in the spring rarely are able […]
‘Last Comic Standing’ preview: What the semifinal rounds contain
So far, NBC has not exactly been that clear when it comes to their format of “Last Comic Standing” this season. Maybe they wanted to see the ratings before deciding on the next move, or maybe they were just that clueless during production. Either way, the show appears to be adopting something relatively similar to […]
‘Suits’ season 4, episode 2 preview: Gabriel Macht in ‘Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner’
When you look at the title alone for next week’s “Suits” season 4 episode, it certainly doesn’t give away very much at all. However, what matters here is what is going to be happening, and we imagine that it will be more than Walt Jr’s favorite meal of the day along with two others. This […]
‘Suits’ season 4, episode 1 review: Mike and Harvey hold nothing back
“Suits” returned to the air on Wednesday night, and we have to give the writers credit for wasting almost no time at all in getting things going. Mike and Harvey are close to being at war, Jessica had some love in her life (albeit briefly), and Rachel made it clear to Harvey that her personal […]
‘So You Think You Can Dance’ review: Armen Way, Shafeek Westbrook return
“So You Think You Can Dance” is showing off some amazing dancers this season, but tonight’s episode was really the first time that we start to wonder about a few specific styles. Where are the unique styles this time around? We’d love at least one person who specializes in Bollywood, or Irish Folk Dance, or […]
‘CSI’ season 15 loses one showrunner as Carol Mendelsohn steps down
At this point in the run of “CSI,” this is not the sort of show that traditionally gets a whole lot of buzz anymore. It is a procedural for one, and with the cast turnover being what it is, we wouldn’t say that there is a single person that has the same beloved following as […]
