Marissa and Amrie had the great opportunity to spend time at round table interviews with our favorite casts from shows that were at San Diego Comic Con this summer – check out this video of our round table adventures with Nichole Bloom and Mark McKinney from SUPERSTORE.
There are actors who seem to be born for a specific character. Think Udo Kier, the actor who is often seen playing vampires (and who admittedly loves to play one) or Ian Somerhalder who returns to the world of vampires in the upcoming series V-Wars after making waves as the antihero Damon Salvatore in the popular series “The Vampire Diaries”. Being typecast these days is easy, especially after playing an iconic role in an iconic series. Jason Momoa, for one,
Hello friends. It’s been a while. I wanted to give an update on where we’ve been here at My Take on TV, and provide you with a look at where we’re going (it’s a long one; strap in). Some of you may know my story because our MyTakeonTV Instagram is my personal one, as well, so I apologize if you’re reading something you already know! It was March 10, 2018. I got a call from my cousin that my mother
Tonight after MODERN FAMILY, the latest ABC comedy, SINGLE PARENTS (from Liz Meriwether and JJ Philbin), premieres. The show stars Taran Killam as Will Cooper, a single dad who becomes the room parents for his adorable daughter’s classroom. Though they initially hate him and his gung ho helicopter parenting, the rest of the room’s single parents (get it) welcome him into their group, and I’d imagine, antics will then ensue. Based on the trailers for the show, I was not
“I say we trust until we don’t.” Richard Cabral’s character utters that phrase about 2/3 of the way into tonight’s sprawling premiere (the first episode runs 1 hr, 8 minutes without commercials) of Elgin James and Kurt Sutter’s latest chapter in the SoCal motorcycle club epic, MAYANS M.C. As Sutter has mentioned in interviews, the show is set in a post-Jax-Teller-post-SAMCRO world, and the line above about trusting who you need to in the moment, until you might not trust
CHAMPIONS (NBC, Thurs 9:30/8:30c), from the minds of Charlie Grandy and Mindy Kaling, follows the story of Vince (Anders Holm), a washed up baseball player who owns a failing gym (called Champions), his brother Matthew (Andy Favreau), the sweet and naive side of the sibling coin, and what happens to their lives when Vince’s 15 year old son Michael (JJ Totah) unexpectedly arrives on the scene. Michael was always destined for bigger and better things than a life of best
Chip, Dale, and Christine are back and as funny as they’ve ever been when BASKETS returns to FX at 10/9c. After a brilliant second season that explored the evolution of Christine (Emmy winner Louie Anderson), BASKETS returns tonight with a third season premiere that continues telling the story of the Baskets Family Rodeo. The impulse purchase is really coming along, as Chip, Dale, and Christine work together (not well, let’s be real; Chip and Dale are a mess) to get
Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan), the titular Mrs from Amazon’s new series THE MARVELOUS MRS MAISEL, is a woman scorned. Left by her joke-stealing husband Joel for the dim-witted secretary at his big-city office, she stumbles into a burgeoning career as a stand up comedian at the start of the 1960s, under the guidance of a woman named Susie (the jokes about whom all come down to “what’s with that dude? Oh she’s a lady”). As the 8 episode first
I applaud The CW for doing what they can to step out of their comfort zone with VALOR, which premieres tonight at 9/8c after SUPERGIRL. VALOR is show about a bad-ass fighter pilot who happens to be a woman (Nora Madani, played with no emotion by Christina Ochoa), who covered up something bad on her most recent mission involving fellow returnee Leland Gallo (CW-casting-director-fave Matt Barr) and their missing colleague. The show wants to have it all: mystery, danger, clandestine
Absurd and too-long title notwithstanding, I love everything about KEVIN (PROBABLY) SAVES THE WORLD. If there was any actor that should interact with an imaginary possible-angel when his family already thinks he’s insane, Jason Ritter is the guy for the job and ABC’s new show, premiering at 10/9c is the show for me. KEVIN is the story of Kevin Finn (Ritter), an admittedly selfish and sometimes crappy person, fresh off of what we learn was a bit of a breakdown.
