It’s brooding and heavy. It’s about loss and redemption. It’s about putting together a family. It’s about changing perceptions of policing. It’s about immigration and acceptance. Wait—did I submit the wrong review? Am I really describing Walker? The CW’s Walker (Thursdays at 8 pm EST) is about as similar to the original CBS series, Walker […]
It struggles to stay consistent. It’s a work in progress. And yet you get a strong feeling it might be considerably better as the season goes on. That accurately described the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their first game of the season last fall. And it also accurately describes the pilot episode of The Equalizer, the […]
The cast of NBC’s Timeless (which last aired in 2018) reunited Saturday night to perform a live table read of a popular episode and discuss the show’s impact with fans as part of a $30,000 fundraiser for Feeding America. The online event featured show regulars Malcolm Barrett (Rufus), Matt Lanter (Wyatt), Abigail Spencer (Lucy), Goran […]
“The animals are the easy part. It’s the people who cause all the bother,” the main character is told at the beginning of the PBS Masterpiece series, All Creatures Great and Small. And we soon find out what that means. The 7-part miniseries (9 pm Eastern/Central on PBS), which airs each Sunday from January 10 […]
Towards the end of the pilot in the new Fox show “Call Me Kat,” the title character turns to her mother and says that she’s 39 and single so her life “is going to be messy.” “Messy” is indeed the best–or at least the nicest word–to describe the garbled, poorly written new Fox sitcom about […]
Beautiful, showy costumes. Silly banter from the judges. Entertaining performances. Clues to the secret performer so the audience watching live at home can outsmart the judges and post their thoughts on social media. What makes The Masked Dancer fail is what makes The Masked Singer great. First time’s a charm. The second time is just […]
“Yesterday, Seattle reported 345 more cases, 29 deaths. Test positivity rate has increased, so we should prepare for more patients… 53 of the 79 ventilators are currently in use…” That’s not a status report from Seattle’s mayor but part of an opening sequence in last week’s Grey’s Anatomy, as doctors at the fictional Seattle Grey […]
Some people have been avoiding grocery stores because of Covid and relying on grocery delivery, but it seems there’s another type of grocery store we should avoid—the one on TV in the form of Supermarket Sweep (ABC, Sundays, 8pm EST). There are some game shows that come back with new energy—like ABC’s Press Your Luck, […]
Another week, another disappointment. Enzo got the ball rolling by winning a ball-rolling Head of Household competition that was rather mundane and boring and nominated two players America actually liked, Kaysar and Kevin. Kaysar was still reeling from losing Janelle, his half-duo partner (and America was still in mourning for Janelle). So we already knew […]
I am a weather geek. You learn to appreciate weather growing up in the cornfields of the Midwest when your father teaches you to study the sky so you can judge how many innings of baseball you can play before the dark clouds on the horizon roll into town and the tornado sirens start blaring. […]
