With the likes of Tyler Perry, Charlie Sheen, and even George Lopez, cable networks have shown that they embrace what is an interesting new model: Test-airing ten episodes of a sitcom, and then renewing it for 90 more immediately depending on if it meets a certain ratings threshold. For the producers and actors involved here, […]
Matt Carter Big Brother, Dexter
We’ve been talking about it on Twitter for much of the past several days, but we are now thrilled to confirm that it is finally here: The launch of our brand-new weekly web show, “CarterMatt Chat.” Our mission statement is simple: Providing insight, analysis, mass geekiness, and of course brutal honesty on our favorite medium […]
Matt Carter Saturday Night Live
This took a while, didn’t it? While we first heard reports before the end of “Saturday night Live’s” season finale last month that Fred Armisen was going to join Bill Hader in leaving the show, neither the actor nor NBC actually confirmed that it was going to happen … leading some to imagine the frightening […]
Matt Carter American Idol, Today Show
Phillip Phillips has had quite a journey in the past year or so. Remember when everyone touted him as just another “white guy with guitar” winner of “American Idol,” destined to fade into obscurity? That was before “Home” became an anthem at the Summer Olympics, and one of the biggest hits of 2012. He’s since […]
Matt Carter Nina Dobrev, The Vampire Diaries
Given the amount of travel that Nina Dobrev is doing at the moment, you would almost assume one of many things: She is either trying to escape a crazy person on her tail, she’s secretly a contestant on the next season of “The Amazing Race,” or she is subconsciously handing all of us a reminder […]
Matt Carter A&E, Bates Motel, Comic-Con
There’s always a place for horror at Comic-Con … or at least TV shows that creep you the bleep out, even if you’re not afraid of them. “Bates Motel” was a critical and commercial hit on A&E this year; heck, we enjoyed it so much that we want to see it grab an Emmy nomination […]
For at least a brief period of time earlier in the day, a stellar video supposedly serving as a trailer for the upcoming “Doctor Who” 50th anniversary special managed to dupe quite a few sites and people across the internet, and it’s not even fully because these people are ignorant or simply naive: The trailer […]
For CBS Studios this year, they are going to have some sort of a presence at Comic-Con in San Diego. While this is not the same sort of convention behemoth as Warner Bros. (mostly because they do not have as many genre shows), we still think that some fans are going to be more than […]
This week, Justin Bieber performed a string of shows at the Staples Center as a part of his globe-dominating, “I have way more money than you” Believe Tour. If you are within the ages of 11 and 16 and are a woman, this is basically your version of Heaven on Earth. For everyone else? It’s […]
Matt Carter The Vampire Diaries
You cannot kill a man who is already dead like Damon Salvatore, unless you stake him or use whatever other sort of new / innovative way that you can think of in the “Vampire Diaries” universe; however, it is a little bit easier to kill a real-life actor like Ian Somerhalder if things go wrong […]
