Before we talk about the candidates for Episode of the Week for the week of April 12, let us first recognize the winner of the CarterMatt poll from last week: With 51% of the vote, the “Afterlife” episode of “Agents of SHIELD” season 2 wins the honor for the week of April 5. Congrats to […]
What was The CW thinking premiering a new show like “The Messengers” on Friday night? We feel like it is as simple as this: They’re pretty satisfied with the rest of their lineup, and they didn’t have a lot of room for this show. It’s not much of a vote of confidence to premiere it […]
Is the departure of Nina Dobrev already hurting the ratings for “The Vampire Diaries“? We are not willing to go that far just yet, but it does appear clear yet again that this is not the same culture-defining show that it once was. Last night, the latest episode of the CW series drew a 0.6 […]
While many in the English-language TV community may have never heard of “Sabado Gigante,” this does not change the fact that this show is more than a little bit of a big deal. This is the longest-running variety series on TV (even longer than “Saturday Night Live”), and it survived everything from a move from Chile […]
Want to know when your favorite ABC show is coming off the air? Luckily for you, the network has just confirmed the news in a press release Thursday.

For today’s edition of TV Quick Hits, new shows happen to be the name of the game. We’re talking here somewhat about shows that have yet to air, but we do have another video in here for everyone who is already addicted to the silliness of “Lip Sync Battle.” NBC revives “Emerald City” – What a […]
We should start here by saying that it is very impressive that “NCIS” in its 12th season is able to draw close to 16 million viewers an episode. However, at the same time, we should also say that it is stunning just how few of these people are now in the 18-49 demographic. Last night, […]
It is not particularly often that we find ourselves writing about TV directors, mostly because this medium is largely though of to be more of a writer’s playground. With different people stepping into the chair for different episodes, it is hard sometimes to really establish yourself as distinct. However, Michelle MacLaren did that. She directed […]
The ratings are in for Sunday night, and they serve as yet another reminder that really, nobody seems to be watching network TV live for some reason. Where are all the viewers? Let’s start here first and foremost with “Once Upon a Time,” which fell to a new low in a 1.6 rating in the […]
Much of the time when we cover awards shows here at CarterMatt, we do our best to give you as much analysis as possible. However, that is a little bit more difficult with the MTV Movie Awards. We’re not much of a movie site, and have not really seen all of the nominees. The thing […]
