Dancing with the Stars, Emmys, Ink Master, Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Quest, The Voice
We’ve now moved into a personal favorite category for us when it comes to the Emmys … or at least one that we really get a lot of fun out of skewering the TV Academy for. Was there a time when they legitimately cared about the Reality Competition category? Maybe, but they haven’t shown it in years. […]
Orange is the New Black, The Quest, True Detective
One of the things that we praised the Golden Globes for heavily this year was their diversity in nominees. We’re not just talking about people from all walks of life, but also nominating a variety of different shows and not necessarily the same ones time and time again. This is something that we can for […]
Halt and Catch Fire, Outlander, The Quest
There were many close battles in our CarterMatt Best of 2014 Awards, but the race for Best New Show may have been the closest one out of everyone. After all, there were only a few percentage points between the winner and the runner-up, and every single nominee received at least 13% of the vote. Ultimately, […]
Big Brother Canada, Ink Master, Survivor, The Quest
If you look on the surface of reality TV these days, you may think that the genre is growing stale. Most broadcast networks (save for ABC) and the Emmys tend to only take notice of a small sampling of shows, and most of them have been around for at least half a decade. When “The Voice” […]
Gotham, Halt and Catch Fire, Outlander, The Quest, True Detective
While 2014 may not have been a great year for some genres of TV (there may be only one or two comedies that debuted within the past 12 months we enjoy), it was an incredible one for drama. Not only that, but even one reality show pushed the envelope and tried something a little different. […]
We now know the official ratings for the finale for “The Quest” (we wanted to wait for the finals to come in yesterday, given that things can sometimes be a little crazy in the summer), and the news is both good and bad. In terms of total viewers and the 18-49 demographic, the 1.97 million […]
Tonight, we had the epic end to “The Quest,” and we really do mean “epic” here. Heck, the second hour was some of our favorite reality programming of the past year. It was entertaining, fast-paced, and even surprising at times. If this does turn out to be the last chapter of the story, at least […]
If you enjoy “The Quest,” then tonight has to be a bittersweet night. From one vantage point, this is the chance to find out who is the One True Hero, but on the flip side, this may also be the last episode of the series. We’ve discussed renewal opportunities at times in the past, but […]
Every summer, there seems to be a show that we look back on with fond memories down the road, even if it doesn’t last. This summer, that show will probably “The Quest.” From the premise to the acting to the imagination behind it all, this has been a geek’s dream come true. However, we can’t […]
We’re a little late with this review of “The Quest” thanks to ABC’s decision to double-up on airing new episodes, which is not a move that we are particularly happy with. We see it as a sign they just want to get the show over with quickly, whereas we really just want to savor it […]
