We’re back today with our second edition of our 2015 Emmy Spotlight series, where we pick and choose among a very crowded field who are the most deserving nominees in a given category. The Emmys will be announced very early in the morning (especially on the West Coast) come July 16, and the ceremony will […]
The nominations for the 2015 Primetime Emmy Awards are not going to be revealed until July 16 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time. However, that’s not going to stop us this month from embarking on what is a long-standing tradition of naming our own nominees! These choices were picked by the CarterMatt team, and in addition […]
The Critics’ Choice TV Awards did something that we personally consider to be very kind for their Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category: They did their best to include as much variety as humanly possible. When you look across the full board of candidates, you have three from brand-new shows, one from a show that is […]
We’re back with another entry in our Critics’ Choice TV Awards spotlight series, and this time around, we’re talking a little bit about a category that is completely up in the air: Actor in a Drama Series. We feel like Taraji P. Henson is close to a lock for her role in “Empire,” but when it comes […]
The first season of “Better Call Saul” did a very good job of setting up a variety of great stories, and reminding us to a certain extent of the legacy set up by “Breaking Bad.” It was fun, it was dramatic, and it was virtually everything that we wanted it to be. Do we think […]
Today, the Critics’ Choice TV Awards unveiled their full slate of nominees for the May 31 show, and for the most part, you have to feel pretty good about them. This is an organization that tends to be much more current than the Emmys, and even more so than the typically-progressive folks over at the […]
Going into the first season of “Better Call Saul,” it was both easy and understandable to assume that Nacho was going to be a key part of the show. He was featured in promotional photos before the show, had a big role in early episodes, and then for whatever reason disappeared. This was probably even […]
We’ve known for a long time that Vince Gilligan had at least a relative interest in doing some more movie work. He wanted his schedule to be a little looser following “Breaking Bad” for that reason, and to a certain extent it is. He has a full showrunning partner on “Better Call Saul” in Peter Gould, […]
While we’ve speculated a lot over the years that certain cable series are major warriors in DVR viewing, we have not had a chance to view much in the way of real data … at least until now. The fine folks over at TVbythenumbers have started to compile some real data that show ratings after […]
It is not particularly often that we find ourselves writing about TV directors, mostly because this medium is largely though of to be more of a writer’s playground. With different people stepping into the chair for different episodes, it is hard sometimes to really establish yourself as distinct. However, Michelle MacLaren did that. She directed […]
