In this edition of our month-long TV Revivals series, we’re very excited to dive into “Castle” — we tend to only do this series in February, so to say that we’d been planning this one for months would be an understatement. We’ll be the first to admit that we found the show’s original pilot way […]
Last year, we embarked on a mission here at CarterMatt to bring you a wide array of different TV Revivals pieces over the course of the month of February, and it proved to be a fun experiment! While we don’t come into these articles with any sort of advance knowledge as to whether or not […]
If you have been reading CarterMatt for a substantial period of time, you may be very much familiar already with how we feel about “Hart of Dixie.” It was one of those rare shows that, from start to finish, was pure fun. It took you somewhere else, and didn’t really care so much with trying […]
If you flashback to the fall of 2009, then you will probably recall that “Glee” was almost everywhere. It was an almost-instant hit for Fox, generated huge revenue for Fox, and spawned everything from albums to tours that went all over the country. However, by around the time that the show ended, it was barely […]
For several years, ABC had one of the juiciest dramas in primetime TV in “Revenge.” It was intense, fascinating, and even at times fun; unfortunately, the ratings just started to fall by the time we got around to the fourth season. ABC ultimately canceled the Emily VanCamp series, but not before the show had a […]
If there is one thing that we’ve learned with Showtime over the years, it is that for one reason or another, they have a hard time ending some of their shows in their eighth seasons. In our TV Revivals series we’ve already seen this with “Dexter,” and now, we’re talking about it a little bit […]
When you look back at some of the great final seasons that have aired over the years, we’d be willing to throw “Private Practice” somewhere up on the list. Sure, the “Grey’s Anatomy” spin-off may not be a conventional choice, but we really like what the show did with the concept of time and some […]
With most of the TV Revival articles that we have written during the month of February have focused for the most part on hypothetical situations, the case of “24” is a little bit different, to say the least. After all, this is a show that we know for certain could be coming back, courtesy of […]
We still remember vividly when a certain MTV show in “Jersey Shore” managed to make a big splash almost out of nowhere, and really took much of American pop-culture by storm. At its peak the show was generating better ratings in the 18-49 demographic than almost any other show, the cast members had catch-phrases, and […]
If there has ever been a show to have a series of controversial endings and re-endings, it’s been “Sex and the City.” The series itself ended with Carrie Bradshaw ending her relationship with Aleksandr Petrovsky, claiming that she wanted do much more from the love in her life. The first movie was in part largely […]
