With quality this good, who needs live ratings? Obviously, FX is thinking this entirely when it comes to “The Americans,” and their decision to renew the spy series for a fourth season is proof that there is so much more that goes into a decision to renew or cancel a show than just what ratings it is […]
We are tremendous fans of all things when it comes to Comedy Central Roasts. We’ve watched them for years, and for the most part they bring us more joy than almost any program the network does outside of late-night.

How do you out-trick someone whose greatest trick is copying another Trickster? This is the question at the center of Tuesday night’s new episode of “The Flash,” which appropriately is carrying with it the title of “Tricksters.” We will be going back in time in a sense, but not Flash-style, to the 1990s in the […]
