It was only a couple of days ago when we were singing the praises of some of the shows this summer for managing to pull some solid numbers … and then we saw the numbers for Thursday and completely changed our mind. If there is one word that we’d use to describe these, really without […]
“Ballers” sets HBO return – We’re one of those people out there who enjoys Dwayne Johnson in just about anything; heck, we’d probably have fun watching him change a tire. It’s with that in mind that we’re happy to report a little bit more on the upcoming premiere date for the aforementioned HBO comedy. Sunday, July […]
Tonight, NBC ended the first season of “Aquarius” with an intense finale, but there is a story with this series right now away from the cameras that is almost as interesting as the one happening within.
