Tonight, we had some of our harshest criticism for “The Blacklist’ so far this season, as the mystery-of-the-week felt generic and boring in some ways. By the time it was over, we were clamoring to have more of the real story revolving around Reddington and Elizabeth Keen. But if the first look at next week’s […]
When we first watched the pilot for “The Blacklist,” it was riveting, James Spader was fantastic, and while there were similarities between it and every other case-solving show out there, it was so well-done that we did not mind. Well, we are to a certain extent starting to mind it more now. When you have […]
On the first two episodes of “The Blacklist,” we saw a show that revolved mostly around one central theme: Red offering up his help to the government in order to catch some nefarious criminals, but all with his own motivations for it unclear. But what happens when things start to shift ever so slightly, and […]
After the ratings for “The Blacklist” dropped a decent number in between the premiere and this past episode, the critics rushed out from their little critic-caves with all sorts of commentary about how this was the signal that this was the show becoming “Revolution” 2.0. The ratings were only high because of “The Voice,” nobody […]
Even though the numbers may have dropped in the second week, NBC has clearly decided that they have seen enough when it comes to “The Blacklist” to make a big leap: The super-cool new show from the network is getting a full 22 episodes. This is the first show technically to get this particular honor, […]
Now, we present to you the latest example of ratings being relative when it comes to networks. While NBC was certainly hoping for “The Michael J. Fox Show” to get off to a big start, the series was still the top-rated comedy with just over a 2.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic. Meanwhile, CBS’ new […]
“The Blacklist” started out strong, and tonight it held itself together pretty well for another episode that served to answer the questions of many, but just where does the story go from here? It looks to continue the procedural format in some ways, but at the same time, the goal is also to establish an […]
When you look at “The Blacklist,” the question going into episode 2 was simply one of stability. It was obvious that the pilot was sensational, and the best of the best for the network fall TV schedule. James Spader in particular was wonderful, and reminded us much more of his days on “Boston Legal” than […]
Did you enjoy “The Blacklist” premiere on NBC Monday night? We know that NBC sure did, based on the ratings that the show ended up drawing, many of people seemed to love it, and that means that good things could be in store once again on the network Monday. The second episode looks to carry […]
The biggest story that we have to talk about today when it comes to the fall TV battle is simply one new show dominating the others in the 10:00 p.m. Eastern time slot. Not only was “The Blacklist” the winner of this showdown, but it really was not even close when you look at some […]
