Jenna Hamilton may be flustered, confused, and afraid to say what is really on her mind on “Awkward” more often than not, but we do feel like there’s earnestness in her heart. She wants to do the right thing, even though she struggles often with the “how” part of the equation. This is why she […]
We’ve been critical of “Awkward” so far through its fifth and final season to date, largely because we’ve felt a little bit like the show has been missing some of what made it originally great: Its edge. It has transformed from a satire almost to the very thing that it once was making fun of: […]
We are living in the age of the DVR, and with that in mind, live+3 ratings are becoming increasingly important to gauge whether or not a show has the potential to go on past its original episode order. The ratings are in now for “Heroes: Reborn” in this measure, and the two-hour premiere surged all […]
On Monday night’s new episode of “Dancing with the Stars,” host Tom Bergeron and ABC subsequently cited show rules as the reason for Kim Zolciak’s elimination from the show. The precedent here is that unless you are able to present some sort of performance for the voting public, you have to be sent home. We […]
The premiere of “Arrow” is now eight days away, and with that, The CW is handing down a new gift: One of their latest promos, and one that actually contains new footage. Sure, there are some clips in here that you have seen in a few other places; we’re pretty sure that Felicity with the machine […]
When we first saw the promo for Sunday night’s new “Once Upon a Time” episode “The Price” after the episode first aired, one of our immediate concerns was that it did not give you anything that seemed to take place in Camelot. Was the show really going to gloss over all of that? As it turns out, […]
Here is certainly some news that we did not see coming today: Nicki Minaj is coming to television! Not only that, but it is technically family television. Then again, ABC Family (the network we’re talking about here) is trying to appeal more to young adults, and she certainly has that audience in spades. Anyway, the announcement came […]
The premiere of “Empire” last week ended with Cookie Lyon in a most unfortunate position: Realizing that she was not going to get what she wanted with the company. Empire Entertainment is no doubt valuable, but the truth here remains that without Lucious, it’s just not the same. He is the face and the name […]
*In the “Supernatural” sneak peek below, you’ve got a little bit of everything: There’s an element of “The Leftovers,” a massacre, people with freaky necks, and a question about whether or not Sam and Dean are about to have a “Magic Mike” moment. This preview feels mostly like the immediate aftermath to what happened with […]
Starz is in the middle of what we would call a renaissance, as many of its series are experiencing great ratings and also critical acclaim. “Power” is at the moment one of its network champions, given that it combines great rating with intense storytelling and a wonderfully diverse cast. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is one […]
