“The Quest” is the sort of show that we wish was on when we were a teenager, sitting in class and picturing ourselves off on crazy adventures. This is basically a LARP with much better production quality. Given that we love fantasy shows, we love LARPing, and we also love reality TV, this was basically a […]
Since Thursday nights at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time has been almost a doldrum spot for new programming this summer, we’ve put a lot of stock on “The Quest.” This is a show with ties to “Lord of the Rings” and “The Amazing Race” from a production standpoint, and that’s quite a pedigree to live up […]
Matt Carter TCA Awards, The Good Wife, True Detective
In closing off TCA this weekend, the 2014 awards ceremony provided at least a few surprises. You had a network show winning Outstanding Achievement in Drama, a show on ABC Family taking home a trophy, and also a reality show with a tiny but loyal following dethroning “The Amazing Race” and other warriors. You can […]
Matt Carter Falling Skies, Major Crimes, The Last Ship
TNT has just plotted out their course for at least three of the series on the network, and it’s a case of good and bad news. Since we are in a particularly chipper mood this morning, let’s start with the good stuff: “The Last Ship,” “Major Crimes,” and “Falling Skies” were all renewed for additional […]

Every year, the Emmys do a decent job highlighting some of the best in TV … and also reminding us that a certain percentage of their voters are out of touch with what people are actually watching now. This is why we’ve grown to be rather partial to the Critics’ Choice TV Awards, if for […]
What is it about cops being good reality TV players right now? It wasn’t always the case that they fared well, but first we had Tony on “Survivor,” and now seemingly Derrick on “Big Brother.” It’s a little early for us to be able to call him here the frontrunner, but out of most of […]
This is going to be a very good year for “The Amazing Race” franchise, and we feel pretty comfortable saying that even in spite of the fact that the American show has been moved to Friday nights for the fall. Let’s start here with just a simple reminder that the Canadian version of the show […]
“Supernatural” has been off the air for a while now, but the good news is that following the doldrums that come in June, July is typically the first month where we start to see some real, genuine scoop for the future … and that is precisely what we have here with some of the first […]
