Here's hoping that the second time's the charm – because we're not sure Billy Joel fans are going to let there be the possibility for a third time. If you had a chance to check out CBS's Billy Joel: The 100th – Live at Madison Square Garden, then you know better than anyone that you didn't […]
It's not an exaggeration to say that one of the holiest of grails in science fiction is back where it belongs…home with the Roddenberry family as the original U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 model originally featured in the original Star Trek: The Original Series pilot "The Cage" as Heritage Auctions returned the three-foot long model of the […]
This week's Star Trek: Discovery has a Charles Dickens-like feel as the series takes a pseudo trip down memory and what might be to come as Capt. Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), her chief engineer Cmdr. Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp), and her new first officer, Cmdr. Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie) is in a bottle-type episode where […]
We've been fans of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog & handler Robert Smigel (Saturday Night Live, Late Night with Conan O'Brien) since well before the "Colbert arrest," the SAG-AFTRA & WGA picket line reports, and guest-starring role during NBC's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (all of which we'll get into in a minute). So when the […]
The media dust-up between ABC's 96th Annual Academy Awards host Jimmy Kimmel and ex-reality show host & multi-impeached ex-POTUS Donald Trump was something that was well-reported – about five weeks ago. With a minute or so to kill before Al Pacino made a total mess of announcing the nominees & winner for "Best Picture," Kimmel read […]
Heading into this week's new episode of CBS's Rose McIver & Utkarsh Ambudkar-starring Ghosts, S03E08: "Holes Are Bad," we know that Sam (McIver) and Jay (Ambudkar) are heading off for a ghosts-free weekend – but that doesn't mean there still won't be a whole lot of "dramedy" – especially when it's been teased that there are […]
If you're a Billy Joel fan who checked out CBS's Billy Joel: The 100th – Live at Madison Square Garden, it sounds like the network has heard your complaints in a very big way. Here's what happened – the 2024 Masters Tournament ran late, meaning the special started late. But as the special was getting to […]
With so much going on in and around the television landscape since the SAG-AFTRA & WGA strikes wrapped last November, we've been trying to stay up-to-speed on what's going on, how it's going on, when it's going on, and who is it going on with. With that in mind, we have an update on Paget […]
On Sunday night, Billy Joel fans were treated to a first – the first time one of his concerts has aired on a broadcast network. So how did CBS choose to treat viewers who tuned in to watch Billy Joel: The 100th – Live at Madison Square Garden? Kinda crappy, actually. Because here's the thing – […]
For the first time in broadcast network history, Billy Joel is getting the concert spotlight to honor his record-breaking 100th consecutive performance at Madison Square Garden as part of his franchise run. Set to hit CBS screens tonight from 9 pm – 11 pm ET/PT (and streaming on Paramount+), we have a special look at […]
The next stop on the Star Trek: Discovery farewell tour is Trill in the episode "Jinaal." Despite prior history, the Trill make Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) answer a riddle for the plot, not because they're friends or anything. With the away team set, Adira (Blu Del Barrio) reunites with their old flame, finding out […]
While we could spend days debating the pros and cons of "The Streaming Era," one thing that streaming has definitely done is bring new life back to shows that had strong original runs but earned a delayed appreciation after being "rediscovered" on streaming. For the streamers and studios, it's not just about getting as much […]
There hasn't been any prime-time television franchise that's endured like Star Trek since its humble beginnings on NBC in 1966 with The Original Series. The science fiction trendsetting series only lasted three seasons, but the third was only due to a fan campaign to save the series before its ultimate cancellation in 1969. Since the […]
What a difference a few days (and a whole lot of fans) can make. Earlier this week, CBS had the Shemar Moore-starring S.W.A.T. wrapping up its series run on May 17th after seven seasons. Well, we can now change that to "season finale," with the network picking up the popular series for an eighth season […]
Earlier this week, we had a chance to pass along the overviews & preview images for CBS's Rose McIver & Utkarsh Ambudkar-starring Ghosts S03E08: "Holes Are Bad" and S03E09: "The Traveling Agent" a part of our updated rundown of the third season. But now, our focus shifts back to this week's chapter with three sneak preview […]
Last month, we learned that the series finale of CBS's Young Sheldon would have a little something extra special going for it other than being an hour long. Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik reprised their roles as Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler for the prequel series' final chapter on Thursday, May 16th – the […]
Rosalind Chao has been an enduring presence in Hollywood since her debut opposite Lucille Ball on her sitcom Here's Lucy in 1970. With a career spanning six decades primarily on TV, the actress has nearly 140 credits, largely in guest roles with the occasional film like her memorable one in the ensemble The Joy Luck […]
This week, CBS's Rose McIver & Utkarsh Ambudkar-starring Ghosts returns with S03E07: "The Polterguest" – as Alberta (Danielle Pinnock) and a poltergeist (Lamorne Morris) hit it off and Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones) & Nigel (John Hartman) gett respective bachelor parties. But our look at the third season doesn't end there – not when we have overviews […]
Before we take a look at what's ahead with the seventh & final season of CBS's Shemar Moore-starring S.W.A.T., we're getting a chance to hear from Kenny Johnson – whose Office Dominique Luca bid farewell from the long-running series on Friday night during "Last Call" (directed by Michael D. Olmos and written by Mellori Velasquez). The good […]
Star Trek: Discovery is off to another fast start as the key to preserving the 32nd century is tied to something in the distant past as a theme for the fifth and final season. While there hasn't been a shortage of references with the new franchise canon on Paramount+, Discovery dug deep into their syndicated […]
