Matt Carter So You Think You Can Dance
How’s this for some great news from the “So You Think You Can Dance” finale? And to think, we are not even talking about the winner here. Early on in the show, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe confirmed that the dance competition would indeed be coming back for an 11th season, which will air on Fox […]
Very, very sad news to report tonight. After a third season of “The Killing” that we personally found to be a significant improvement, let alone a season with one of our three favorite episodes of any show this year (when Ray Seward’s execution took place, which is only behind the Red Wedding and this past […]
We’re going to be honest here and say that we personally thought that “The Arsenio Hall Show” was going to flop in its return to TV. This is a guy whose last major TV gig was on “The Celebrity Apprentice” more than a year ago, and we really didn’t see that much publicity out there […]
Matt Carter Graceland, White Collar
It’s now official: Jeff Eastin is never going to get any sleep again. The creator of “White Collar” this summer decided to launch another new series in “Graceland,” and it has now been confirmed by USA that this series is going to be coming back for its second season. Meanwhile, “White Collar” season 5 premieres […]
While we were hoping that we would have more of a clear-cut picture today on the future of “Mistresses” following the finale, an old adversary is here and rearing its ugly head again: NFL football. The Houston Texans and Philadelphia Eagles games were aired on ABC stations in their respective cities last night, so there […]
We don’t want to sound overly pessimistic and cynical here, but did anyone really expect that we were going to see “Boardwalk Empire” season 4 actually come out of the gate with better numbers than the show’s third season? Despite being visually stunning and well-acted, the Steve Buscemi series has fallen somewhat off of the […]
Matt Carter Strictly Come Dancing, The X Factor
This is clearly the start that “Strictly Come Dancing” was hoping for on BBC, but not exactly what “The X Factor” UK was hoping to have: Another tightly-contested battle between two shows that have fought brutally the past couple of years for domination. This Saturday, the battle was so close between the two series that […]
Matt Carter It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Are we still upset about FX moving “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” to its new sister FXX network? Definitely, but we also unfortunately can’t really do anything about it. It wasn’t the cast’s decision to change; the powers-that-be just decided that the cable series would be a good way to launch a new network, which […]
When Jon Stewart came back to “The Daily Show” last night after a hiatus lasting all summer (in which he was off filming his feature film “Rosewater”), you knew that the show was going to return to some pretty substantial numbers. But how big are we talking about here? Let’s just say that it managed […]
Matt Carter Jeff Daniels, The Newsroom
Has “The Newsroom” been officially renewed for another season? While the network hasn’t released a statement yet saying so, we imagine that you can probably take Jeff Daniels at his word here. After all, he’s Will McAvoy, and he surely does not want to cause an Operation Genoa-like panic among some of the show’s devoted […]
