We don’t think any sane person with knowledge of television ratings can dispute the impact of “The Walking Dead” on television. It has been an undisputed game-changer for AMC, and has shown that cable television can compete with the big boys. To go along with all of that, people are talking about zombies again! It […]
While we’d argue that the past two seasons of “NCIS: Los Angeles” have each been very important in their own way, the one coming up this fall may be the most critical one to date on CBS. Why is that? There’s a wide array of different reasons for it. 1. Timeslot – Yet again, the show is […]
We are currently in the midst of the seventh and final season of “Rizzoli & Isles” on TNT, and in one way or another, you could argue that this sets the precedent for another show on the network in “Major Crimes.” We’re in the midst of the fifth season right now, and when you consider […]
It feels as though it has been a mightily long time since we’ve had much to report when it comes to “Scandal,” and there is certainly a reason for that: We’re on hiatus. Due to Kerry Washington’s pregnancy, the show has delayed the start of season 6 filming, and it will not premiere until at some […]
“Big Brother” is a summer institution, its live feeds are an addiction, and given the sort of money that it probably makes for CBS, it’ll be on the air for a long time still. Even with ratings down versus season 17, they are staying steady throughout and are well-prepared to take on the Olympics a little bit […]
“Survivor” is a beast of a series. There’s no other way to put it at this point. It set television records through its first two seasons, and while it has since fallen in terms of numbers and zeitgeist, it’s still a significant contributor to CBS. It has a fan base that is as active as […]
We’re a few episodes into “Pretty Little Liars” season 7 at the moment, but we are still not getting much of an indication one way or another as to if we’re in the final season. Most signs point to it being, but Freeform hasn’t confirmed anything. We also haven’t seen any actors book some other […]
We’ve spotlighted many a long-running series so far through the month of July with our Lifespan feature, but discussing “Supernatural” is a particularly interesting one. After all, this is a cast and crew that has already devoted at least a decent amount of time in interviews to discussing the future. Anytime the question is asked about whether […]
“Criminal Minds” is at present a series at a crossroads in many ways. While the show has lasted an incredible eleven years on the air, it is entering its first year without original cast member Shemar Moore. Sure, it does still have Thomas Gibson and many other regulars aboard, but this is a show predicated around […]
Before long, we will be saying “aloha” to the latest season of “Hawaii Five-0,” but will we be saying something similar to the overall series not too long after that? This is certainly a fair question at present. Just look at the evidence. First things first, let’s talk about ratings. While they’ve not necessarily plummeted […]
