TV News: I understand their choice, but I was kind of into the really campy nature of the show, but MAX has cancelled their Pretty little Liars reboot after 2 seasons, the same length their Gossip Girl reboot got.

Part of me is really excited to see Jean Smart. But honestly, I would … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 09/19/24
