Let’s be honest. I’m more a fan of drama than comedy. That being said, it’s time I checked to see what the networks have planned for us, the unsuspecting viewers, for the upcoming 2017-18 season. I want to look at some of these shows in a short series of articles. Here’s a quick peek at new dramas ABC has lined up. “The Crossing” follows refugees from America arriving in a small town seeking asylum from a war that has yet
Let’s be honest. I’m more a fan of drama than comedy. That being said, it’s time I checked to see what the networks have planned for us, the unsuspecting viewers, for the upcoming 2017-18 season. I want to look at some of these shows in a short series of articles. Here’s a quick look at what new dramas NBC has lined up. “The Brave” (Mondays at 10/9c) follows undercover military personnel in both their technology surveillance office in Washington, D.C.
If you’re like me, you love everything to do with Christmas, and the end of the holidays is really a downer. But, as the year draws to a close, some pretty exciting projects are on the horizon. In keeping with the wonder of a still-winter wonderland, NBC tries to keep the holiday spirit fresh and alive with its annual New Year’s Eve broadcast, live from Times Square. This year is no exception. “NBC’s New Year’s Eve with Carson Daly”
As announced during this year’s Super Bowl, The Good Wife will take a final bow to CBS and to the world on May 8, 2016. Such a critically acclaimed series causes pause to reflect on just what made it so appealing to audiences in the first place. In a CBS press call earlier this year, the husband-wife writing duo/series creators/executive producers and showrunners Robert and Michelle King met with reporters to dish on the ingredients that make up a
Has anybody but me noticed how quickly the lab rats of Hawaii Five-0 scurry away? First, there was the eccentric Dr. Max Bergman (played by Masi Oka), who, in his debut as Chief Medical Examiner in Episode 19 of Season One [“Ne Me’e Laua Na Paio” (Heroes and Villains)], showed off his skill as a musical prodigy on the piano and his penchant for avoiding eye contact. Bergman had quite an interesting character arc, with a thing for Keanu Reeves
After seeing the extensive promoting done at San Diego Comic Con 2015 for Fear the Walking Dead (FWD); a very realistic walk-through location outside of the Con depicting the church where we see our very first walker, complete with blood strewn absolutely everywhere to the point I was watching where I stepped and also jumping at every turn for fear a walker would JUMP OUT AND GET ME and winding down with a digital spray paint interactive area that was
Please welcome new My Take on TV contributor, Marissa, to the fold! Fall TV season has arrived, and the network line-ups do not disappoint. Here are some shows I have my eye on this Fall: GOTHAM promised a “Rise of the Villains” in all of their promotions. The season premiere has already set up to keep that promise. We’re being introduced to new characters, such as Theo Galavan (James Frain) and Tabitha Galavan (Jessica Lucas). Ben Mackenzie has previously said
The weirdness that was Resurrection returns and much like its freshman season, the season 2 premiere episode starts with somebody waking up in field. Again. This time it’s Marty (Omar Epps). Last time we saw him, he was trying to get child Jacob out of town when the big bad Army swooped in with helicopters and LOTS of fire power and then the screen went to black! DRAT! Government involvement, interrogation rooms, injections – dunh dunh DUUUNH! Are we finally
The Season Finale of Hawaii Five-0 airs on Friday amidst a frenzy of cast changes, one of them being the addition of two recurring characters to regular roles. A Cop’s Cop Back in November came word that Chi McBride (Captain Lou Grover) would become a regular cast member of the Five-O reboot. McBride had premiered his character in the series and walked the red carpet at the Sunset on the Beach Premiere Event for Season Four. At the time of
The Double Takes are back this season as Amrie and I offer up our opinions of some new fall shows without knowing what the other is thinking. In most cases this season, it seems we tend to disagree ha! However, this next DT is one about which we DEFINITELY do agree – LUCKY 7 on ABC. LUCKY 7 tells the story of a ragtag bunch of folks that work at a run down gas station / car shop. Their lives
