“Can another show Carrie on?”
That’s the question Entertainment Weekly asks in the title of a recent article, referring, of course, to the still ultra popular HBO comedy series Sex and the City.
Judging by the mediocre and mostly uninteresting results of television’s two latest attempts — ABC’s Cashmere Mafia and NBC’s Lipstick Jungle — the answer […]
Okay, maybe nobody said that in so many words, but a few numbers make the sentiment clear.
When I received my latest issue of TV Guide in the mail on Tuesday, I immediately checked out the Cheers & Jeers section as usual. The magazine conducted a poll to see if TV watchers agreed with columnist […]
After receiving the January 28–February 3 issue of TV Guide in the mail today, I immediately cracked open the cover to visit my favorite section of all time, the endlessly entertaining and ruthlessly snark-filled Cheers & Jeers. To my sorta surprise, the current crop of love 'em-hate 'em assessments includes a particularly negative jab […]
Everybody loves Chuck, the character, don’t they? According to the venerable entertainment industry magazine Entertainment Weekly, the guy who plays him, Zachary Levi, is one of ten breakout stars of 2007. Nice.
So, what makes Levi so special? In the eyes of EW’s writers, the actor is “TV’s most charming new Everyman.” […]
The December 24, 2007–January 6, 2008 holiday double issue of TV Guide arrived in my mailbox today with the one and only Christina Applegate gracing the cover. Applegate’s hit new ABC sitcom Samantha Who? remains one of the most popular freshman series of the fall season, despite a steep ratings decline following the season […]
I received my December 17–23 print issue of TV Guide in the mail yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it contains an overview of what various editors and contributors at the publication consider to be the best of U.S. television in 2007. Even better, the comedy genre is very well represented […]
Why? No, not because CBS’ freshman comedy is a huge success and was picked up last week for a full season, although that would be a very legitimate reason to get excited.
Instead, it’s because of a little thing called casting. Specifically, TV Guide is understandably psyched about the onscreen sitcom reunion of Big […]
Why? Because of a little thing called casting. It seems that TV Guide writers feel Samantha Who?’s showrunners are inhibiting series regular Jean Smart in the role of the title character’s mother Regina. The Cheers & Jeers column in the October 22–28, 2007, print edition of the magazine states:
Jeers to Samantha Who? […]
That’s right. A full two-page spread, in fact.
When I cracked open my mailed October 22–28 edition of TV Guide yesterday, that’s what I found on pages 32 and 33—the entire six-member regular cast of ABC’s hit dramedy Pushing Daisies in a pretty, double-wide picture captioned “Flower Power.”
After the introductory one-two image punch, which teases […]
Filmmaker-writer-actor Kevin Smith (Dogma, Clerks, Heroes: Origins), directed the pilot episode of this season’s hottest—and I mean that both literally and figuratively—new series, The CW’s most excellent comedy thriller Reaper. He also has a very entertaining guest column in the current print edition of TV Guide to match that accomplishment.
Apparently, Smith, a lifelong TVaholic, […]
