Matt Carter Once Upon a Time, Quantico, The Good Wife
Ugh. That is our quick reaction to the ratings on Sunday night, where it is becoming increasingly clear that there are many things that Americans would rather do than tune in to a network TV show. Let’s not waste much time on the introduction here. The good(?) news – “Madam Secretary” (1.2) and “Family Guy” (1.3) […]
Matt Carter Daredevil, Law & Order: SVU, TV Madness
We now only have three more face-offs to profile in our TV Madness tournament this month … at least for the first round! Today, we’re specifically looking at two shows that really couldn’t be any more different. The only things that they have in common is that in many ways, both feature heroes who are trying […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live
This weekend marked a big opportunity for Future as he was the musical guest for “Saturday Night Live,” but it turned out that he brought along a famous friend for the performance of his track “Low Life”: The Weeknd. If you want to think about something crazy, think of the fact that this performance was […]
Matt Carter The Amazing Race, The Originals, The Vampire Diaries
We cannot exactly say that Friday is a night worth celebrating when looking at the vast majority of primetime ratings. To be frank, the majority of them just weren’t good. It’s even more surprising when you consider that there were a wide array of repeats on the air that so many shows dropped. The good […]
Matt Carter iZombie, The Middle
“iZombie” and “Veronica Mars” showrunner Rob Thomas has had a heck of a lot of fun over the years with the fact that he shares a name with the Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 fame, and now that two are figuring out a way to come together a little later this season. As first reported […]
Matt Carter Halt and Catch Fire, The Walking Dead, TV Madness
For today’s edition of our TV Madness tournament, we’re looking at two shows that air on the same network in AMC, but in many ways really could not be more different from one another. You’ve got a show in “The Walking Dead” that is a ratings juggernaut, and then one in “Halt and Catch Fire” […]
Matt Carter Longmire, Outlander, TV Madness
Today, we’ve reached day 4 in our TV Madness show tournament, and what we have now is a battle for the ages like no other. We have two shows are certainly rather popular here at CarterMatt, with each one of them having their respective following. Just like any actual basketball tournament that you’ll be seeing […]
Matt Carter American Idol, Life in Pieces, The Family
One of the more interesting tests to us from Thursday night’s primetime lineup was whether or not “Life in Pieces” would be able to recover rather nicely without having “The Big Bang Theory” as a lead-in. We’ll get to that in due time, but we’d say that for the most part it did okay. The […]
Matt Carter Agent Carter, Castle, Galavant
Today, ABC made a big and rather unexpected move given their history, and decided that it would be a good idea to go ahead and renew the majority of their primetime programming. This is not something that we’ve really seen from them in the past, or at least when Paul Lee was in charge of […]
Matt Carter Agents of SHIELD, Grey's Anatomy, Scandal
Today has been a day of gradual renewals over at ABC, and we now know the full roster of programs that the alphabet network has handed out early renewals for. It’s a rare move for the network to do so this early, but ultimately, we feel like this move was planned out to be an […]
