Nothing in the “Empire” universe is necessarily stable, and this is especially true when you are talking about Lucious Lyon. This is a man who ultimately just wants what he wants, and he has no problem taking something away from someone else in order to get it. As of late, we have seen Lucious’ latest […]
The second season of “Empire” may have dropped somewhat in the ratings since the premiere, but there is one thing in particular that it is continuing to do in spades: Giving you as many big-name guest stars as possible. Want further proof of that? Just take a glance at the image above from the upcoming […]
What did Wednesday night’s television lineup prove more than anything else? It is as simple as reminding us that when it has a solid lead-in, “Law & Order: SVU” can still be a pretty solid hit for NBC more than a decade and a half into its run. The winners – Thanks in part to airing after […]
Let’s start this particular “Empire” review with a question: Is this show really better or worse when the characters are all mostly doing their own things? We had fun with most of this episode, but for the most part the stories were somewhat disjointed. For Lucious, the main event came right in the middle of […]
On Wednesday night’s new episode of “Empire,” music was of course a theme. However, so were celebrations! Hakeem did what he did to help Laura on her road to potential stardom, Jamal had a brief celebration with Cookie, and Lucious continued to do what he needed to for the sake of self-preservation. Next week’s new […]
For has just made their 2016 midseason schedule very clear, and upon immediately looking at it, there are many reasons to have your head spin. There’s a heck of a lot going on here! There are new shows, shows returning on new nights, and ones that are left off altogether. (Sorry, “The Last Man on […]
Let’s start this edition of Crossover November by throwing logistics out the window. A crossover event between “Scandal” and “Empire” has utterly zero chance of happening. The shows are on different networks and from different studios, and the last thing Fox would want to do is lend out its super-popular characters to help out another […]
On this past episode of “Empire” season 2, it was pretty clear that Cookie may have found a new man in her life courtesy of Adam Rodriguez’s role of Laz. He is someone who is completely different than Lucious, he has passion for her, and he may be able to help her in many ways […]
We’re not going to be spending too much time discussing the CMA Awards ratings here, mostly because for regular CarterMatt readers, you probably don’t care that much how it did. Therefore, we’ll give you the totals here quickly (3.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic, 13.6 million viewers) and then move on to other things. The […]
Wednesday night’s new episode of “Empire” made you wait a week longer than usual, but certainly seemed desperate to pack everything in as a result. Let’s start with the negative: The music. We almost think that this show should consider putting less and less of this into the stories as time goes by. It was […]
