TV THEATER REVIEWS

This Friday, Adam Lambert will release the full music video for 'Another Lonely Night,' the second single off his album The Original High....

Alicia Florrick is back. Really back. And not just Season 7 premiere back, either. She's back to basics. Back to where she came from. Back to being the good, good wife. Kind of....

In the season 2 opener last week, I spent a lot of time discussing the renewed characterizations of Phil and Carol, and their new relationship. I'm glad I did that, because in this second episode, THE LAST MAN ON EARTH further explores these relationships, returning the show back to the equilibrium ...

The goal of art is to make the viewer feel. While many didn't appreciate what the first season of HBO's THE LEFTOVERS made them feel, no one can argue that it did, in fact, make them feel something; and for many, more deeply than TV has in a long time. Often, for better or for worse, that feeling w...

When you were a little kid, did you ever get separated from your parents in the mall or grocery store? Can you remember how the all-consuming terror of being abandoned to fend for yourself began in your chest and then crept out until it could be felt in every extremity in your body, and you became n...

“Aren't we all running from chainsaws in our past?” Wes asks his film analysis class early in the episode. SCREAM QUEENS in its third hour decides to preoccupy itself with the past. Who dated who last year? Who's the baby in the pilot? Who's Chanel #3's father? In doing so, the show manages to m...

Jessamy Maddox talks in her sleep. This is shocking to probably no one, but as she tosses and turns murmuring her husband's name, who exactly is she seeing in her dreams? Gawain, or Wilk? If I were Wilk, I'd feel super awkward. Thank goodness there's a crying baby to distract him from her nighttime ...

There is a saying in sports that goes, “You never want to be the guy that follows The Guy,” or something to that effect. It means that following on the heels of an icon is a fool's errand. No one remembers that Gene Bartow replaced John Wooden as coach at UCLA, or that Marty Domres took over und...

THE LAST MAN ON EARTH returns to TV tonight feeling rejuvenated, and proving that what Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (THE LEGO MOVIE) and Will Forte (SNL) managed with season 1 was not a fluke. The show returns as confident as ever, proving in its first half-hour that season 2 will be bigger, fun...

The bottom-line: The DVD set of AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN Season 15 can help at home chefs to cook up a storm and offers many features which set the series apart from run-of-the-mill how-to videos. Firing up fifteen seasons of deconstructed recipes and kitchen gadget trial and error, AMERICA'S TEST KI...

The two-part premiere of DOCTOR WHO season 9 comes to a close with 'The Witch's Familiar!' The Doctor finds a way to escape Davros and the Daleks, in style might I add. Keep reading for the full recap, but beware of spoilers!...

COMING HOME is sentimental, poignant and beautifully scored....

Tonight marks the start of season 27 of THE AMAZING RACE. Before you say anything, I know what you're thinking: Season 27 already?! Didn't Season 1 air just yesterday?! Trust me, I feel old, too. But the show has managed to stay just as fresh and interesting as it did on day one, and I can't wait to...

For some reason that I have yet to understand, there is apparently a considerable segment of the population that doesn't care for Anne Hathaway. I wouldn't consider myself a marked Hathaway fan, but after seeing THE INTERN, I challenge each and every one of the people that dislike her to see the mov...

Wednesday night's Season 4 premiere of ABC's NASHVILLE brought a heavy helping of the show's soapy best and worst. I make no bones about the fact that when it comes to TV, I have a few guilty pleasures; one is this country music, primetime soap opera, and another is ABC's lone remaining honest-to-go...

ET has shared an exclusive preview of Season Five of ABC's ONCE UPON A TIME. The series returns this Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC! ...

Tonight, NBC takes another stab at its 2006 fan favorite science fiction show with a new series, aptly named HEROES REBORN. This time around, we'll be introduced to a whole new set of extraordinary people with a whole new set of extraordinary abilities (in other words, you'll be fine if you've never...

In the first two minutes of SCREAM QUEENS, it's obvious this is a somehow campier, meaner version of AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN with a brighter color palette. That SCREAM QUEENS will be compared to the AHS series is inevitable, sharing showrunners and genre. However, SCREAM QUEENS has a much stron...

When Disney's new live-action CINDERELLA came out in March, the reviews were reserved, but positive. Most critics praised the style, performances, and design of the film, while admitting that it did little to add to the tale's long history on screen. While not every retelling needs to be a reinventi...

I grew up watching the MUPPET BABIES, loving the whimsy of the odd, but relatable creatures (although always frustrated that we couldn't see Nanny's face). Then, MUPPETS TONIGHT debuted during my freshman year of high school and I started to really understand the joys of a variety show (only later f...

DOCTOR WHO is back! In the first episode of Season 9, The Doctor, Clara, and Missy are faced with an old foe. Keep reading for more, but beware of spoilers!...

If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's this: there's very little that Neil Patrick Harris cannot do. Whether it's swinging from a giant Tony Award at Radio City Music Hall, penning a best selling memoir, or suiting up as everyone's favorite eternal bachelor, it's safe to say Mr. Harris is a ...

Below, get a first look at the final season of DOWNTON ABBEY, premiering Sunday, January 3, 2016 at 9/8c on MASTERPIECE on PBS....
