Matt Carter Call the Midwife, Sherlock
Today, PBS chose to lift the veil on a variety of their upcoming programming … provided of course that you are not talking about “Sherlock.” The Benedict Cumberbatch series is likely set to air on the BBC Christmas Day, but even in Britain the network has been hesitant to premiere a date. So why do […]
Matt Carter Downton Abbey, The X Factor
We figured that with a much-hyped “shocking moment,” ITV was going to find a little bit of success with “Downton Abbey” Sunday night. That was proven to be true the moment that the ratings officially came in on the night. The drama, which created a stunning TV moments thanks to Robert (Hugh Bonneville) suffering from […]
Matt Carter Once Upon a Time, Quantico
We have sympathy for any television program trying to compete on Sunday night. Thanks to some monster ratings for the Sunday Night Football showdown between the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, every other show on the schedule had the potential to suffer. This is why “Once Upon a Time” (1.6) and especially “Quantico” […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live
We have to admit, the challenge for Demi Lovato was different on “Saturday Night Live” tonight than the majority of the other people we have seen on the show over the season so far. She interrupted a show that was hosted by Tracy Morgan, and the enthusiasm for fans of him over the course of […]
Matt Carter Homeland, The Late Show
The fifth season of “Homeland” is currently airing on Showtime, and for the most part, we feel like it’s doing a pretty good job of throwing Carrie Mathison and company back once more into chaos. Sure, this is a position that she has found herself in many times before, but part of the magic of […]
Matt Carter Dr. Ken, Last Man Standing, Truth Be Told
Let’s face it: We don’t know of a single person out there who genuinely felt as though NBC’s new comedy “Truth Be Told” was actually going to be a hit. The show just had so much working against it: A changed title, a corny premise, a focus on race relationships that seems out of the […]
“Defiance” canceled – Following the news earlier today about the cancellation of “Rookie Blue,” today Syfy announced in a statement that their drama “Defiance” has been canceled after three seasons: “Defiance was a truly groundbreaking series, delivering an immersive, cross-platform experience that transcended the television screen in a way that viewers had never seen before. We are incredibly […]
Great news for all of those who enjoy Fox’s “Rosewood”: It’s not going anywhere in the near future. Today, it was confirmed that the Morris Chestnut series has been picked up for a full season, and it therefore is not going to have anything to worry about some time. In a statement, Fox Entertainment President […]
There has been a rather interesting intersection as of late between politics and television; can you really be all that surprised that Donald Trump is at the center of it? Throughout debate season, the business mogul / lightning rod of controversy has criticized multiple networks for their handling of debates. He made his thoughts on […]
Yes, we are firmly now at that time where we have to make as many different excuses as possible for the wide array of programs that have suffered big drops … and we begin today with “Sleepy Hollow.” The Tom Mison series started out low this season despite promising to change things up, but Thursday […]
