Dancing with the Stars, Midseason Report Card
If you look at the ratings for “Dancing with the Stars” this fall, you think that ABC has to be feeling pretty darn good about themselves. This show is now more than a decade old, but it continues to be one of the network’s most-watched shows. Also, the demo ratings are strong, and while you […]
There are times when we admittedly do our best to give shows the benefit of the doubt, mostly because we want to believe that in time, a show will justify a twist with its subsequent actions. We were like that for a long time with Castle and Becett’s separation on “Castle” season 8. We wanted to […]
How to Get Away with Murder, Midseason Report Card
There are few shows out there that provide the mixed bag of emotions that we get from ABC and “How to Get Away with Murder.” Let’s take a minute to weigh much of what the show presents to us. On the positive side of things, you’ve got a stellar performance from Viola Davis, great mysteries, […]
Midseason Report Card, Scandal
“Scandal” is a show that at times paints itself into an extremely difficult position. While many other serialized stories at times live and die on the presence of a character or on the natural build of the story, this show thrives on the shock value.

Grey's Anatomy, Midseason Report Card
Going into “Grey’s Anatomy” season 12, we had no idea as to what the show was going to be giving us. It is the first full year without Patrick Dempsey, and therefore there were mysteries surrounding if viewers were even still going to care. Luckily, they do, and in some ways we think that we […]
Given that Monday nights are typically when we get an opportunity to see new episodes of “Gotham,” it only felt appropriate for today to mark its entry into our Midseason Report Card series here at CarterMatt. We’re going to take a look back at these first ten episodes, sizing up both what worked, and what […]
Grey's Anatomy, Midseason Report Card
For our latest entry in our Midseason Report Card series, we turn to a show that ended a little over a week ago, and in a way that probably did not make people feel very great: “Grey’s Anatomy.” We should start here by saying that this is not exactly the sort of show that tends […]
Midseason Report Card, Scandal
It’s that time of year again: Some of your favorite TV shows are ending, and this in turn allows us to have an opportunity to sit down and discuss some of what is working for them, and also what could still use a little bit of nourishment going into the second half of the season. […]
Midseason Report Card, The Big Bang Theory
We’ve made it now to the final entry of our Midseason Report Card series, and we’re taking a look today at a show in “The Big Bang Theory” that is actually coming back on the air fairly soon. The show returns with a new episode Thursday night, but before we come to that, let’s go […]
“How I Met Your Mother” has always been an interesting comedy series, mostly in that even though there are constantly a ton of people watching the show, a good percentage of them find a way to routinely complain about it at the same time. Season 9 has seen a number of complaints, and at times […]
