It is hard to not be curious right now about Cruella de Vil on “Once Upon a Time” this season. She is a woman from the fairy-tale world who does not really look like a fairy-tale character, and her specific motives behind being evil have not exactly been clear, other than being someone we know […]
While the majority of “Game of Thrones” Sunday was about setting the stage for the remainder of season 5, there was one particularly shocking moment at the end of the episode that is a proper game-changer for the rest of the season: Watching Mance Rayder burn at the stake, at least before Jon Snow decides […]
If you look at the current landscape on “Survivor: Worlds Apart,” it would seem like the logical trajectory would be for Joe, Jenn, and Shirin to be the next three boots. However, there’s something about this series that suggests to us that this may not be the case. There is still flexibility for some big […]
While we had some measure of ambivalence about “The Flash” as a modern-day TV show prior to it airing, we do now have to admit that it has become a runaway success. It’s a fun, action-packed entry into the superhero TV canon, and it comes at a time when everyone else is just trying to […]
What is this? A “Castle” episode with a big Alexis story? We have not had a whole lot of these as of late, but as we get near the end of the season we’re going to have one courtesy of “In Plane Sight.” Our first impression when hearing the title for the April 27 episode […]

After watching both Graig and Sindy more or less limp out of the “Big Brother Canada” house, we are pretty pleased to say that at least Johnny is not going out this week without a fight. Last night, we saw the superfan make one of his biggest moves that he has so far this season, […]
For the latest chapter in our Ratings Debate series, we turn to a show that seemed at one point destined to be the next “Criminal Minds,” or a show that could be destined to go for at least ten seasons or so: “Hawaii Five-0.” What happened to the momentum of this show? Direct competition with “Castle” every […]
When you remember the legacy of David Letterman, then you know that there are certain people who really need to be on some of his final shows. He has guests who tend to stop by his show almost on an annual basis, even if they have really nothing new to promote. For the most part, we […]
“Silicon Valley” had a tough challenge ahead for itself Sunday night: Trying to make a second season of the show just as brilliantly funny at the first. Also, it had to so under the lens of stakes. It was easy to tell a story in the first season about a group of ragtag underdogs and a […]
