Twitter Take: HUNTERS on Syfy
I liked Syfy's #Hunters enough. Though, at the end of Ep2, I looked at @showpatrol and said "THE HELL DID WE JUST WATCH?" Give it a try? — Amrie Cunningham (@mytakeontv) April 11, 2016

My Take On…ABC’s THE CATCH
What is it? THE CATCH From who? Jennifer Schuur and Josh Reims, who left the show for creative differences after the pilot [Allan Heinberg then stepped in and it is WAY different than it was when picked up to series] When? Filling the gap in the TGIT schedule left by HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER’s finale last week Thursdays at 10/9c Who? Mireille Enos (THE KILLING), Peter Krause (PARENTHOOD), Rose Rollins (THE L WORD), Jacky Ido (TAXI BROOKLYN), Sonya
My Take On…THE PEOPLE V. OJ SIMPSON: AMERICAN CRIME STORY on FX
I remember where I was when I heard that OJ Simpson had been found not guilty of the slayings of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her beau, Ronald Goldman. I was in the hallways of my middle school on the way to Social Studies with one of my favorite teachers, Mr Rhodes, when the loudspeaker announced for “Nora Gumble” to come to the office. We didn’t have a Nora Gumble in the building at the time; it was our
My Take on…Hulu’s CASUAL, the best new show of the Fall
It’s rare, these days, that I find a show that draws me in on an emotional and almost physical level, where when episodes end, I can’t move fast enough to get to the next one and when there are no new episodes left, I feel a little empty (boy talk about laying it on thick….). That’s how I felt from the instant I pushed play on Hulu’s latest original series (available now), CASUAL, the dark (dark-dark) comedy from creator Zander
My Take On….GRANDFATHERED and THE GRINDER on FOX
FOX premieres two of the season’s best new shows at 8/7c and 8:30/7:30c tonight – the charming GRANDFATHERED and the immediately likable THE GRINDER. Check out My Take on the two… John Stamos is back on TV as the lead in this series which finds his bachelor Jimmy learning that he not only has a son after a relationship that went sour in the 90s, but that his son has also had a child, making him an instant grandfather. His
My Take on…THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER on FX
I’ve been going back and forth about this review-piece regarding FX’s latest dark and gritty drama, THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER, from the minds of some of my favorite people on earth, most notably Kurt Sutter on the words and Paris Barclay on the pictures (premieres tonight at 10/9c with a 2 hour adventure). The problem I’ve been having is trying to figure out the best way to articulate the fact that the show is so violent and dark I found myself
YOU’RE THE WORST is back….and better than ever!
Stop what you’re doing! You must immediately get to your DVR – or your online DVR manager or your VCR or wherever you record important things – and make sure that your recording of YOU’RE THE WORST is all set and ready to go on their NEW network, FXX, tonight at 10:30/9:30c. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s focus a little bit on why I think you need to be watching! Created by former TWoP recapper (among other
My Take On….Wednesday Must Watch THE CARMICHAEL SHOW on NBC
Though initially scheduled to premiere on August 5, and to run alongside (the MUCH-MUCH-MUCH-inferior) MR ROBINSON on NBC, THE CARMICHAEL SHOW finally debuts tonight with 2 back to back episodes, starting at 9/8c, and after having seen the first three set to air, I am ALL IN. The show, a semi-autobiographical look at star Jerrod Carmichael’s life, opens with Jerrod and his girlfriend Maxine (Amber Stevens West, late of GREEK and downright awesome) wanting to tell his parents that she
My Take On…THE MCCARTHYS on CBS
I want to like THE MCCARTHYS based on the solid cast alone – Laurie Metcalf is one of my favorite comedic actors, Joey McIntyre is probably the first poster I hung on my wall as a child, Jack McGee is funny, Kelen Coleman is a favorite, as a fan of John (and therefore Jason), I love a Ritter (this one is Tyler) – but I’m sad to say that the pedigree does not add up to a good show (Jimmy
My Take On…CRISTELA on ABC
Tonight on ABC, their latest multi-camera comedy, CRISTELA, a throw-back-feeling camera loosely based on a stand-up’s life and family (the charmingly funny Cristela Alonzo), finally premieres. And if I’m being completely honest with you, it is one of my top comedies of the new breed. Alonzo stars in the self-titled comedy that follows a Texas lawyer (who is finally almost really a lawyer), dealing with her very close Mexican-American family and the expectation that she become a maid or call
