As the networks rev up toward their upfront presentations next week, lots of cancellations and renewals came swooping in over the last two days. There will probably be even more later today. So far, here’s how things have been shaping … Continue reading Lots Of Cancellations and Renewals
Here, there are really only three locks. Even in its old age, I can’t see Modern Family not getting nominated. I can see Big Bang Theory getting left out, but there are five shows I think competing for three spots, … Continue reading Emmy Watch: Best Comedy Series
Again, I previously lamented how unlikely new blood will be in these categories. It’s a sad, but true fact of how boring and predictable the Emmy’s have become. This category is a bit different from supporting actress, as a few … Continue reading Emmy Watch: Supporting Actor in a Comedy
I have absolutely hated the Emmy nominee list the past couple years. It seems as though they just watch the same shows, and nominate the same people over and over. It takes a lot to break through into a category, … Continue reading Emmy Watch: Best Supporting Actress
2015 was an excellent year for Comedy, but not on Network TV. Rather, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon expanded their rosters and shook things up. Sure, the networks still make comedies, but it’s hit and miss. I’ve been trying to compile … Continue reading 2015 In Review: Comedy TV Series
I didn’t feel like making a story just for Devious Maids, but Lifetime has renewed the show for a fourth season. Pretty good for a show rejected by ABC, and picked up later by Lifetime. In less surprising news, TNT … Continue reading Ratings: ‘Empire’ ‘Rosewood’ Off To Strong Starts, ‘Devious Maids’ Renewed
No Guts, No Glory, right? BEST DRAMA SERIES: 1) Mad Men 2) Game Of Thrones 3) House Of Cards 4) Orange Is The New Black 5) Empire 6) Better Call Saul 7) The Americans Possible Upsets: Downton Abbey, The Good … Continue reading Final Emmy Predictions
I’ve been running down the comedy nominees in the past week, and the comedy series nominations are a lot easier to predict (most of the time). The category is narrower, since you can only have one potential nominee from each … Continue reading For Your Consideration: Best Comedy Series
Oh, definitely Jon Hamm for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. And how could the Emmy voters pass on Mel Brooks for The Comedians? There’s always some SNL hosts in the mix, and Louie CK and Bill Hader could be in the mix. … Continue reading For Your Consideration: Comedy Guest Actor/Actress
As I start my annual Emmy wishlist, I remember that the Emmy voters quite frequently get it wrong and turn their noses up at shows that the public is embracing. In other words, get ready for more Downton Abbey nominations, … Continue reading For Your Consideration: Emmy Best Supporting Actor/Actress In A Comedy
ABC has added episodes to some of its most consistent performers. Grey’s Anatomy will film two extra episodes this season, bringing its total to 24. All of the Wednesday comedies got two extra episodes, including Freshman comedy Black-ish. Castle and … Continue reading ABC Rewards Hit Shows With More Episodes
Stalker closed out the CBS lineup with 9.1M and a 2.0 in the demo, or about the same ratings that CSI was doing in that timeslot last year. Considering Criminal Minds was the lead in with 11.5M and a 2.7 … Continue reading ‘Stalker’ Premieres OK, ‘Black-ish’ Dips
Black-ish launched last night to 10.8 million viewers, with a 3.3 in the demo. Modern Family was the lead in, and it got 10.9 million and a 3.7 in the demo, so Black-ish had an amazing retention rate. The Middle … Continue reading ‘Black-ish’ Premieres Strong, ‘Laura’ Dips A Bit
I know many of you are looking at the fall TV season… wondering if any of these new shows will be good… which ones will be cancelled, and this mini-guide is here to help. First of all, you can go … Continue reading Fall TV Is Almost Here…. Can I Catch Up?
Honestly? I didn’t watch the Emmy’s tonight. I’ve lost all hope that the Emmy voters have any idea who to vote for. The nominations are silly. And, oh look, Breaking Bad swept the drama category. Oh, hey, Modern Family won… again. Breaking Bad has already won the Emmy for Best Drama series (last year). Anna Gunn won last year. Aaron Paul won two years ago. He won the year before that. Bryan Cranston won that year too. Cranston also won in 2009, and 2008. Bryan Cranston has now won 4 Emmys for playing Walter White, Aaron Paul has won three, … Continue reading Emmy Winners
