I do not normally have high expectations for the NBC network. The promo for their event series (“event series” is a story all in itself), The Slap, did nothing to change this.
Raise your hand if you’re mad as hell at the Supreme Court right about now. Yup, thought so. To find out who else you should be mad at this week, let’s take a look at the rest of the news. (As usual, trigger warnings for pretty much everything apply.)
Hannibal is not a show for everybody; it takes a particularly morbid person to love this show. I love this show. Bryan Fuller makes such beautiful shows. Hannibal is beautiful, but the darkest beauty one has ever known. I am over the moon that it is back on after teetering on the edge of one and done […]
Good: Community returns Jan 2, 2014. Bad: Parks and Rec is on hiatus, sort of.

Are You “Ready for Love”?
My co-worker loves Giuliana & Bill, the Style Network program that stars ““ you guessed it ““ Giuliana and Bill Rancic. Since their reality show is on hiatus, she was thrilled to find out that they are hosting a new dating program, Ready for Love, on NBC. She told me all about it this morning, […]
It’s official: after some speculation, NBC has announced that The Tonight Show’s torch is being passed from Jay Leno to Jimmy Fallon, this time for real (sorry, Conan!).
This spring, some shows are finally returning (Mad Men), while others are premiering (Hannibal, Bates Motel, How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)). But I’m more concerned with what shows are coming back to our screens this fall.
September brings an all new season of Parenthood on NBC. Tuesday night, I sat down with my favorite TV family and got caught up with where life has led them since their finale last spring. Remember the finale? Crosby got married! Sarah got engaged! Julia welcomed home a son! Adam decided to stick with the […]
