Now that the May sweeps are almost over, it is time that we really start to usher in a different sort of TV season: Summer awards shows! They really get going tomorrow with the Billboard Music Awards over on ABC, but there are many more of them that we are going to see play out […]
Some people may find it very annoying that networks are spending so much time jockeying for awards that are in a sense arbitrary forms of validation. We, however, find the entire matter to be extremely entertaining for so many reasons. The latest feud over the “True Detective” submission for the Emmys is exhibit A. Recently, […]
Earlier this spring, HBO threw down what we personally like to think of as a rather enormous gauntlet when it comes to “True Detective”: They decided that they are going to submit the show as a drama series rather than a miniseries for the 2014 Emmy Awards. Why make this move? It’s a definite show […]
Given that virtually nothing is known right now about a second season of “True Detective,” including when it will air, it is hard to really spend that much time speculating over casting. Without a confirmed script out there, how in the world can you sit around and say who should be involved? Yet, we imagine […]
Usually when we write about Emmy submissions, we usually have a single show to talk about. That is what makes this story so interesting: We’ve got a pair of shows that are making some surprising submission decisions for the big awards show. We start with “True Detective,” which almost everyone assumed was going to submit […]
Is it possible that HBO could actually get an actor of Brad Pitt’s quality on “True Detective” season 2?

Do we want to see Aaron Paul appear on “Sons of Anarchy”? Of course we do, much in the same way that we want all awesome people to appear on awesome things. This is a show that has landed many a big-name guest star, and the internet is eagerly awaiting finding out more about the […]
Are Jimmy Kimmel and Seth MacFarlane going to be the new stars of HBO’s “True Detective”? The odds are better of the Yellow King coming back into the picture again. But with that being said, what these two guys came up with on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (which is in Austin this week for SXSW) was […]
There’s quite a bit of good stuff to get to here when we are talking about the ratings for Sunday night, in particular when it comes to some shows that really managed to both surprise and impress. What’s one of those shows? “True Detective,” which was deceptively the biggest hit of 2014 so far. HBO’s […]
After an eight-episode journey that was truly intense, “True Detective” finally came to a close on Sunday night with a story that was intense, personal, and probably not what you expected at all. The first half of the episode was spent mostly giving you a sense of who the Errol character was, and then the […]
