    DVD: Extras: IT'S BEEN the most talked about crime series of the year and a real triumph for ITV. Audiences and critics were gripped by the whodunit and  seven million people were tuning in, which in these multi-channel days is a blockbuster figure. But despite all the hoo-haa about whether young Danny's killer was his dad or his friend or the vicar or creepy Susan, the eight-part drama had a lot more to it than the jaded mechanics of a traditional whodunit. Broadchurch broke the mould of police procedurals by discarding the corpse before each ad break that is the norm in shows such…

  • Duck Dynasty cast prove why they're popular, get beaten by Swamp People

    Andy Dehnart
    17 May 2013 | 7:04 pm
    Duck Dynasty's extreme popularity is now as well-known as its total artificiality. It's a scripted sitcom that lies to viewers, except it's honest about one thing: its cast members' personalities. The cast appeared on Katie Couric's talk show Wednesday, and did a good job of proving why they are entirely the reason why the show works, and why it's going to be all but impossible to duplicate its success (though a lot of networks will be trying, ugh). They played a version of Family Feud (during which the Swamp People cast members demonstrated some remarkable Kardashian knowledge) and told…
  • How to know which Celebrity Apprentice Donald Trump will choose (hint: look left)

    Andy Dehnart
    17 May 2013 | 8:44 am
    The Celebrity Apprentice's sixth season concludes Sunday, and it may be easy to tell who which of the final two celebrities will win the prize for their charity: that's because Donald Trump has always chosen the celebrity sitting on his left as the show's winner. NineDaves noticed and illustrated this fascinating phenomenon and wrote, "Why on earth would production be so stupid to put the winner in the exact same spot, season in and season out?" Maybe because that's how Trump remembers who he's supposed to choose? It's possible this could just be a five-time coincidence, but if Trump does…

    News that Top Chef received $200,000 from the oil spill fund the Deepwater Horizon disaster has prompted controversy and a debate of sorts between Bravo VP Andy Cohen, chef Anthony Bourdain, and TV auteur David Simon. All of this was significant enough to prompt Bravo to respond last night, defending its actions by posting a statement from the city's marketing office that says its money didn't come from the oil spill fund:"The New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation is giving $175,000 to invest in bringing Top Chef to New Orleans. Our investment came from our normal budget, which we planned…

Instead, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will be on both seasons, while CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera will appear in the fall with Usher and Shakira replacing them in the spring, just like this year.

  • What the Survivor reunion was really missing: insight

    Andy Dehnart
    15 May 2013 | 10:17 am
    In the aftermath of the Survivor Caramaon reunion drama, with the eight pre-merge contestants being excluded, there's been a lot of conversation about whether that improved or weakened the reunion. Jeff Probst was defensive in his explanation, offering a weak excuse and saying their goal is "to produce the best reunion show we can." While excluding almost half the cast is a dramatic shift, the reunion hasn't been at its best in years. What Jeff Probst is interested in talking about or focusing on is increasingly not what I care about. In the early days of Survivor, the show didn't use its own…

    THE DEADLINE TEAM
    18 May 2013 | 7:36 am
    Yahoo has set a Monday news conference in NY to announce “something special”, and CBNC says that CEO Marissa Mayer will be there. Could the news be that it is acquiring the social network Tumblr? Reports surfaced last night that Yahoo is mulling a deal to buy or invest in the youth-skewing blogging site, and AllThingsD, which broke the news, says Yahoo’s board is meeting tomorrow to consider an all-cash buy for $1.1B. If the deal makes it would be the biggest yet for Mayer as she looks to boost the fortunes of the company, which is still in transformation mode. Yahoo has…

    THE DEADLINE TEAM
    18 May 2013 | 7:01 am
    Myriad Pictures has tapped Richard Loncraine to direct Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton in Life Itself, a comedy based on the Jill Ciment novel Heroic Measures. Charlie Peters wrote the screenplay, about a long-married NY couple who find themselves swept into an emotional and comical real estate bidding war when they put their beloved downtown apartment on the market — and must come to terms with the possibility of moving from the home where they have spent most of their adult lives. Freeman and Lori McCreary’s Revelations Entertainment will produce with Latitude Productions.

  • The Office Watch: That’s What She Said

    James Poniewozik
    17 May 2013 | 6:18 am
    Spoilers for the series finale of The Office follow: When Ricky Gervais’ UK version of The Office ended with a movie-sized episode, it had significant plot business to take care of: David Brent’s post-firing spiral into the worst kind of fame-chasing, Tim and Dawn’s relationship status, the effect that the airing of the Wernham-Hogg documentary had on the characters. It resolved storylines, and ended a bitterly, darkly funny show on a note of redemption and hope. The oversized finale of the American The Office was also focused on the aftermath of the documentary, but it…

    16 May 2013 | 4:26 am
    In one of the later episodes of 30 Rock, Jack Donaghy unveiled a strategy to reverse NBC‘s ratings troubles: “Make it 1997 again, by science or magic.” In a way, CBS has managed to do that. Other than the addition of some reality shows, it pretty much programs its network and runs its business as if it were still the 1990s: a time when Americans watch sitcoms in big numbers, turn out for crime dramas in droves, and stay loyal to their favorite programs for years and years. And it works–it works pretty much only for CBS anymore, and it doesn’t work perfectly even…
  • Six Ways The Office Mattered

    James Poniewozik
    16 May 2013 | 2:45 am
    If any TV show is lucky enough, it will last to the point when it will seem tired, repetitive, business as usual. The Office, which ends its last season after nine years tonight, may arguably have reached that point; however well it ends, it will have been punching the clock for a long time. But it’s worth remembering, however much we’re used to the show’s style and comedy now, that network-TV sitcoms were a different breed when the American version of the show came on the air in 2005. Tomorrow, we can talk about how good or bad its finale was. Today, let’s remember…
  • Upfronts Watch: ABC Seeks More Fantasies and Fairytales (But No Happy Endings)

    James Poniewozik
    15 May 2013 | 2:45 am
    ABC has had the benefit, over the past couple of seasons, of not having failures that are as spectacular as NBC’s. As Buzzfeed’s Kate Aurthur pointed out in March, while ABC has been battling NBC for last place among the four big networks, it’s NBC that has gotten most of the bad press. Part of it is the farther-to-fall effect: NBC has the narrative of descending from its glories of the ’80s and ’90s. NBC’s bombs have arguably been more calamitous (Do No Harm), or, if not that, more hotly hyped before collapsing (Smash). And that’s to say nothing of…

Before it was commonplace for psychologists, advice-givers, and sundry gurus to have syndicated shows and accompanying media empires, Brothers used an improbable career in the electronic age to brand herself as a pop-culture counselor and people’s academic: an approachably brilliant woman who knew more than you did about anything and everything, including your own mind. Brothers’ media career began with the 1950s’ equivalent of reality-TV…

Well, as is obvious from this post I went and it wasn’t all that different from the experience I had when I went with a friend two seasons ago. The difference being the location… at least for the initial cattle call auditions which isn’t saying much since in neither situation did me or my friend make it past the cattle call auditions.

So who has been tapped to fill in the chairs? Shakira and Usher apparently. In a news article from Yahoo! Rumors have swirled for months that NBC’s overkill decision to air “The Voice” twice yearly would at least temporarily drive away some or all of the show’s regular judges, causing the lineup to be revamped for the spring 2013 season. Apparently such is the downside of hiring judges who, you know,…

    I loved this movie. STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS is a rare example of a film's execution surpassing its own limits in terms of story. On paper, I should absolutely hate this movie. I knew a significant amount of spoilers going in and I was convinced that the filmmakers made a huge error until I actually watched *how* they did it. Seeing these actors, Chris Pine in particular giving an extraordinary performance as James T. Kirk, I realized that this cast and crew deserves our trust. To the film itself, STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS is an improvement over 2009's STAR TREK in terms of narrative. Kirk and…

  • 24: The (TV) Movie (Miniseries)? Rumors are Jack Bauer is coming back

    9 May 2013 | 7:26 pm
    File this under rampant rumor/speculation/aggravation:  The story is that 24 is coming back to TV but as a limited-event (do people not want to say "mini-series" anymore?). The rumor details are here, so take this all with the skepticism it deserves- namely a couple of producers probably desperate to revive their golden goose due to their inability to get 24 on the big screen! I hope something happens, Jack Bauer taking over Mr. Roger's Neighborhood would be fine by me ("There's a bomb on the model train! GET DOWN!!!").  Well, maybe they want to get my blog stats back up. Thanks…
  • ROBOT & FRANK: The Jack Sack™ Movie Review

    7 May 2013 | 5:32 pm
    One of the greatest gifts in life is finding true friends. You don't necessarily think about it when a friendship is formed, or even in the midst of the bond, but you do notice it when the friend is gone-- and thus losing a friend (no matter the circumstances) is one of the harshest certainties in life. ROBOT & FRANK is about the ends and beginnings of friendship- between an aging troublemaker, Frank and his family, loved ones, and an improbable union with a soft-spoken but pushy robot caretaker.  Set in the near-future, Frank (Frank Langella) has lost all of his friendships. He…
  • I want to be friends with STAR WARS again

    6 May 2013 | 12:14 pm
    Hi Gang, It's been a while since I posted anything with the complete lack of anything 24-related in the world. And I've had little to add to the internet other than my tweets about cigars, sunsets and bourbon. I guess there's a time for everything to recede and then there comes a time for something new to grow. Maybe I'm back to writing or maybe this is my single post for 2013. I have no idea, and I make no promises about the frequency of posts moving forward. All of that aside, the reason I logged back into Blogger today was to write out my thoughts concerning STAR WARS, the pillar of my…

  • Are Ballerinas Dog or Cat People? Instagram and the New York City Ballet

    James Sims
    5 May 2013 | 8:38 pm
    “A ballet may contain a story, but the visual spectacle, not the story is the essential element.” George Balanchine believed that dance should remain the star of a production—a reason the father of the New York City Ballet de-emphasized plot. While the choreographer’s legacy might leave something to be desired for those in search of plot, his company’s offstage life has plenty of fun to follow. Some of New York City Ballet’s top dancers are quite active on social media. Beyond Twitter, and in keeping with the beauty of a visual art form, they are Instagram shutterbugs. While…
  • Review: Bette Midler in ‘I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers’

    James Sims
    24 Apr 2013 | 6:09 pm
    My review of Broadway’s “I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers,” the one-woman play starring Bette Midler, was published by Indiewire’s Thompson on Hollywood. There is a moment in Broadway’s “I’ll Eat You Last: A Chat with Sue Mengers,” as the one-time Hollywood agent extraordinaire is perched on her upholstered throne in Beverly Hills, that you half expect to see Erich von Stroheim cross the stage with a young William Holden in tow. Mengers, as portrayed by her real-life friend Bette Midler, has slowly begun to reveal cracks in her…
  • The Best Social Media Might Just Be Unofficial: HBO’s Girls and Beyond

    James Sims
    13 Mar 2013 | 5:22 am
    Imagine, you’re a television network that has produced a hit show. Viewers are live tweeting up a storm during every broadcast. They’ve created viral fan accounts on Tumblr and Instagram. Critics have deemed the program a “phenomenon.” Now imagine having too many legal restrictions in place to fully extend that phenomenal content on official social media channels. It’s a phenomenon most networks are well aware of, and their social media strategies are forced to take a back seat to fan communities, often due to legal and creative restrictions placed upon their…
  • The Jealous Strategist

    James Sims
    8 Mar 2013 | 7:56 am
    I imagine many digital media professionals spot projects, strategies, etc. that inspire them to push their own work to the next level. Call it jealousy, if you must, but I’d prefer to think of this feeling as inspiration. In order to highlight what I find interesting in the digital media space, I’ve created a new Tumblr page. Of course, I’ve titled it “The Jealous Strategist,” so I’ve obviously admitted that I, too, feel a twinge of jealousy every so often. Consider this Tumblr my +1 of digital and/or social media strategy I’ve spotted on the Internet.
  • Iconic Movies Filmed at Lincoln Center

    James Sims
    24 Feb 2013 | 11:36 am
    Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City is quite the visual landmark—Revson Fountain, the Metropolitan Opera House, Avery Fisher Hall. So many iconic visuals collected in one center on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, many drawing some of Hollywood’s top filmmakers to the destination. “It will be a beacon to the world,” The New York Times wrote in 1959, just as ground was broken for construction of Lincoln Center. Beyond some of the world’s greatest art taking place inside the performance spaces, that beacon has been cemented on the silver screen in a handful of…

  • The Great Gatsby Movie Review

    Marc Eastman
    16 May 2013 | 10:19 am
    Taking on one of the best American novels ever is always going to make for a tough go, and when it’s The Great Gatsby, the uphill battle is all the worse. Condensing all that is most difficult to film into a brisk, layered prose that can be consumed in an afternoon, and analyzed for months, the book is mostly Nick Carraway’s thoughts on obsession, indulgence, and the odd nature of what we wish for. None of it is exactly well-suited for the screen, especially because the book gets its real power from Nick seeing it, not you. As might be expected, Baz Luhrman has a somewhat…
  • Trailer For Richard Curtis’ About Time Will Have You Trying To Buy Tickets

    Marc Eastman
    15 May 2013 | 3:06 pm
    Some films come with their audiences already owning tickets, and Richard Curtis’ upcoming About Time is one of them. Just connecting Love Actually to the film is all you need, but then throw in Bill Nighy being endearing, and add the charm of Domhnall Gleeson, who seems to have been born from Curtis’ imagination, and this film is an absolute lock. At least, it looks that way from the trailer. You think you can keep yourself from falling for this one, especially because “time travel” is featured prominently, but just give in now. At the age of 21, Tim Lake (Domhnall…
  • Disney Pulls Sexy Merida Makeover After Public Backlash

    Marc Eastman
    15 May 2013 | 11:44 am
    Well, the public outcry won out. I suppose the appeal from the creator of the character didn’t hurt either. It seems that Disney has pulled the Merida “upgrade” and theoretically will… who knows? I don’t know, it didn’t seem like a big deal to me. If you look at the image of Merida with the other princesses, it just looks like they gave her the same look as the rest of the characters in that particular image. Sure, I hear you, that’s the whole problem, but you can’t cut-and-paste a movie image into that artwork shot, without it looking…
  • The Goodwin Games TV Review – Watch It Before Premiere

    15 May 2013 | 11:25 am
    The Goodwin Games stars Scott Foley, Becki Newton, and T.J. Miller as the Goodwin siblings who recently lost their father, Benjamin Goodwin (Beau Bridges). A bit of an odd duck, Benjamin had a quirky parenting style, which involved a lot of games, and there’s no reason that his death should be any different. It turns out that he has several million dollars, and he’s going to give it to whoever wins The Goodwin Games, an unknown assortment of challenges designed to get his kids back together. Henry (Foley), Chloe (Newton), and Jimmy (Miller) are about as diverse as a set of…
  • Kitchen Nightmares’ Amy’s Baking Company Goes Off Deep End, Called Most Epic Internet Meltdown Ever

    If you didn’t catch the season finale of Kitchen Nightmares last week, and you’re in it for the people who act crazy, you missed the show of shows. Except, it’s still on, so there’s time to get in the game. You may know that I’m a pretty serious Gordon Ramsay fan, and specifically quite a fan of KN, but we don’t really do episodic recaps here, so I’m not always in the loop, week by week, for every show. On the other hand, I do pay attention to most of the possibilities, and a little warning light did go off last week, I just didn’t pay enough…

  • The Sh*ttiness That Is ‘Zombieland’ Won’t Be Rewarded With A Spin-Off Series

    Wookie Johnson
    17 May 2013 | 1:23 pm
    The Zombieland series is dead on arrival. Creator Rhett Reese took to Twitter last night to report the news that the terrible pilot inspired by the movie would not be picked up by Amazon after all. He tweets, “I’ll never understand the vehement hate the pilot received from die-hard Zombieland fans. You guys successfully hated it out of existence.” The cheap-o version of the not particularly enjoyable movie was posted on Amazon with a few other pilots in the first wave of the company’s experiments with original programming. It was the highest profile pilot released but…
  • A Person Mentioned Christopher Nolan And James Bond In The Same Sentence, So We’re Gonna Report On That

    While Christopher Nolan has his hands full with Interstellar, a science fiction film that will no doubt confuse me, he has gone on record as saying he’s interested in perhaps helming a James Bond film. With Sam Mendes walking away, now would be the perfect time to discuss Nolan’s involvement in the next chapter of Bond. The Daily Mail has offered that the producers of the franchise, Michael G. Wilson and the disgustingly named Barbara Broccoli, have approached Nolan with an offer to direct the next installment. No (reported) word on what the outcome of the (reported) talks are,…

    5 Apr 2013 | 2:30 am
    As a lover of pop culture and the E! network, naturally I followed the story of the Bling Ring very closely. I even watched the show Pretty Wild that aired on E! for one season that tracked the life of one of the suspects. For those of you who don't know, the Bling Ring was a group of Hollywood kids who broke into celebrities homes and stole their clothes, jewels, bags, etc. They eventually got caught and now they have made a movie about it... with Emma Watson in it nonetheless! The first look came out recently so check out this teaser and get excited.Are you going to see the Bling Ring?

    ONCE UPON A TIME FAMILY TREE  The season two finale of Once Upon a Time is right around the corner.  This season has been actioned packed, sudden deaths, betrayal, new love, new enemies (who doesn’t love Captain Hook), love tested.  The sophomore season of Once Upon a Time has lived up to the expectations set by season one.

    MTV has put a few teases up, but late last night/really early this morning, they finally put a 30 second spot on their YouTube channel for Teen Wolf‘s third season. The spot has an unidentified voice saying it’s coming “for all of them.” Apparently, an alpha werewolf pack is coming to town and our heroes need to murder them all before they get the first kill. The spot ends with a “This Might Hurt” tagline. Do you mean the two weeks until the season premieres!? Yes, it’s gonna hurt. Teen Wolf season three premieres Monday June 3 at 10pm on MTV!

    If there’s one thing we’ve learned on this show it’s: EVERYONE ON THIS SHOW IS BALLS S— CRAZY, Y’ALL! What just happened? Who!? WHAT? Obviously, I liked the finale very much. Let’s be honest, we love Scandal because it’s a rapid-moving, rapid-talking, completely heightened soap opera. And that’s what yesterday’s finale delivered. We can groan over the fact that Fitz and Olivia are back on back off back on for the millionth time, but the scene where Cyrus tells Olivia that Fitz is a murderer was beyond fantastic.

    Well I certainly did not see that coming. That was… interesting. I especially appreciate that this finale wasn’t annoyingly tame as the season two and three finales were. Let’s talk about it because it’s the last moment of the episode: Stefan is Silas’ doppelgänger. Okay. It certainly would have been more surprising had Silas never shown up as Stefan, as I think he has stated that he hasn’t let anyone see his real face. Even when Silas showed up as Elena, which I believe he hasn’t before, I was sort of okay with Silas being the original doppelgänger…

I had watched the pilot episode, and a few here and there (the club episode was quite good early on), but I never really watched week after week until halfway into the season, after the retooling. And what a retooling. Somehow, Mindy and Co.

    The two hour series finale of The Office is airing this week and I have already started to wonder, what am I going to do on Thursday nights without the employees of Dunder Mifflin to keep me entertained? For the past nine seasons, The Office has been one of the best comedies on TV. These characters will be missed, but I am looking forward to seeing what the finale has in store for them. In honor of this great show, I have put together a list of ten of the best episodes and as an Office fan since the beginning it was hard to narrow down my favorite out of almost…
  • Parks and Recreation: why is everyone so mean to Jerry?

    8 May 2013 | 12:09 pm
    In the last few months, I’ve joined the bandwagon that is Parks and Recreation. Sure I was late to the game, but that doesn’t mean I love it any less. Leslie exhausts me, Ron Swanson makes me giggle uncontrollably, and I desperately want April to insult me; it seems like a great way to start the day. And while I’ve learned to never let Tom borrow my credit card (or Donna for that matter), there’s still one glaring issue that irks me every time I watch the show: why is everyone so mean to Garry/Jerry Gergich? They can’t even get the guy’s name right! Sure…
  • Family Tools, "Pilot": parental acceptance

    7 May 2013 | 9:24 pm
    Quick Take: Family Tools, "Pilot"The fun of returning home. Review: Family Tools, "Pilot"(S0101) I was actually pleasantly surprised by Family Tools, a new ABC comedy. From the commercials I thought it would be corny and boring, but, decided to tune in while waiting for a new episode of Modern Family to begin and it turned out to be a fast-paced comedy with quick-witted humor.  The show opens and Tony (JK Simmons) is on the floor experiencing chest pains while his sister-in-law Terry (Leah Remini) is keeping the EMT's at bay outside until he agrees to retire from his business…

  • Have Netflix Shows Really Helped to Maintain Revenues?

    Monica
    17 May 2013 | 1:16 pm
    Last week, Netflix released their first-quarter 2013 earnings report, and it showed a gain of over 2 million domestic subscribers, bringing their active subscriber base to 36 million (which is more than what HBO currently has in the United States). New Netflix subscribers may have been attracted to original Netflix shows. The streaming company didn’t always offer on-demand content. The company began as a DVD-by-mail service where they mailed DVDs from a subscribers list. The subscriber would watch the movies and then send them back to the company when they were ready for another one. As…

    16 May 2013 | 9:46 am
    A Doctor Who finale is a momentous occasion. And if writer/executive producer Steven Moffat holds true to his promise, Saturday’s seventh season finale, “The Name of the Doctor”, is going to be epic. Some American fans received the season seven Blu-ray box sex early because of a production error. But “Whovians” aren’t a group of fans that like to spoil things, so unless you purposely went digging, the episode’s secrets are still waiting to be discovered on Saturday. It helped that BBC Worldwide promised a special surprise if fans kept the…
  • The New Amy Schumer TV Show Looks Like It Could Be A Hit

    Kim Leonard
    15 May 2013 | 2:00 pm
    The new Amy Schumer TV show, Inside Amy Schumer, is the most recent breakout hit from Comedy Central. Part sketch comedy show, part standup, and part chat show, it has a little something for everyone—if you like that sort of thing. The eponymous star first blipped on the radar through her appearance on Last Comic Standing, where she made it to fourth place, beating out several more experienced male comedians who underestimated her youth and gender. Her true breakout performance, though, was as part of the gaggle of comedians roasting Charlie Sheen a couple of years ago on Comedy Central.
  • Women in TV Shows: You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby

    Anne Marie Yerks
    15 May 2013 | 12:48 pm
    If the door to women in TV shows was partially closed in the early 1950s, it was kicked wide open by Lucy (Lucille Ball) and her friend Ethel (Vivian Vance) on I Love Lucy. They cleared the comedy pathway for funny leading ladies Donna Reed, Mary Tyler Moore, Elizabeth Montgomery, Barbara Eden, Carol Brunett, and Eva Gabor. Today, we can see ample evidence of the Lucy legacy in shows like New Girl, Whitney, and Two Broke Girls. Wide eyes, red lipstick, and slapstick are running strong on sitcoms in 2013, and we can thank Lucy for that gift among many others. America never had equivalent…

    I was so sad to read the news yesterday morning that Bill Hader would be leaving Saturday Night Live at the end of the current season, which just happens to be this coming Saturday. He is one of my favorite cast members as of late, mainly due to his portrayal of Stefon, the Weekend Update correspondent that knows everything there is to know about the hot NYC club scene. Hader first introduced us to Stefon Zolesky in a sketch with then host, Ben Affleck, where the two played the Zolesky brothers and pitched coming-of-age movie ideas. But it was on April 24, 2010, that Stefon first took his…

    It’s all about Angie this week. And not in a silly leg-meme kind of way, but in a very real and powerful way. She sent the media into a frenzy by revealing yesterday morning through an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times that she elected to have a double mastectomy as a preventive measure against breast cancer. If you hadn’t already heard, here’s some background: Apparently her mother had passed away after a ten year battle with the illness, and for years she lived under the cloud of the very real possibility that she too may develop cancer. Her children have often…

    And so it has begun! The 2013-14 television season is being birthed in earnest as we recover from last week’s bloody cancellation of over twenty failed shows by the big four (and little one) broadcast networks. They are making way for shinier, newer and hopefully more successful offerings that are to restore our faith in broadcast television again. Most of the hard decisions were made late last week in a flurry of life affirming pilot pick-ups and deadly swinging of the cancellation axe. By the weekend most people were trying to decide if it was worth watching the series finales of Vegas…

    The sights and sounds of the world’s most famous arena are incomprehensible to those who have never attended. It is the home of the Knicks and Rangers, and has been the stage for some of the greatest performances over the last four decades. From Muhammad Ali and Walt Frazier’s “Fight of the Century” in 1971 to the incredible lineup of artists for the benefit concert for Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the garden attracts the biggest artists and the most memorable performances.

I don't like a lot of pointless twists and Big Brother Canada was all about pointless twists. Still in the end of it…

    The Saturdays have today released a teaser for the forthcoming Gentleman video.It seems the video is as wacky as the track, with the girls dancing in front of a floral background – the background is blinding as Kim Kardashian’s floral dress, seriously.Gentleman is the third single to be taken from the band’s forthcoming, yet untitled, forth studio album. I do hope the single isn’t a taster of what the album is going to sound like – as it’s pants. Between the rapping, singing and cheerleader-esque chanting, I can’t hear myself think. Maybe the girls…

She’s making souffle!In the clip, Clara (Jenna Louise Coleman) receives a mysterious letter (it actually looks like it came from Hogwarts, with spidery writing and a seal – she should look outside for owl droppings). Inside the letter Clara reads:My dearest Clara, The Doctor entrusted me with your contact details in the event of an…

  • Have Netflix Shows Really Helped to Maintain Revenues?

    17 May 2013 | 1:16 pm
    Last week, Netflix released their first-quarter 2013 earnings report, and it showed a gain of over 2 million domestic subscribers, bringing their active subscriber base to 36 million (which is more than what HBO currently has in the United States). New Netflix subscribers may have been attracted to original Netflix shows. The streaming company didn’t always offer on-demand content. The company began as a DVD-by-mail service where they mailed DVDs from a subscribers list. The subscriber would watch the movies and then send them back to the company when they were ready for another one. As…

    A Doctor Who finale is a momentous occasion. And if writer/executive producer Steven Moffat holds true to his promise, Saturday’s seventh season finale, “The Name of the Doctor”, is going to be epic. Some American fans received the season seven Blu-ray box sex early because of a production error. But “Whovians” aren’t a group of fans that like to spoil things, so unless you purposely went digging, the episode’s secrets are still waiting to be discovered on Saturday. It helped that BBC Worldwide promised a special surprise if fans kept the…
  • The New Amy Schumer TV Show Looks Like It Could Be A Hit

    The new Amy Schumer TV show, Inside Amy Schumer, is the most recent breakout hit from Comedy Central. Part sketch comedy show, part standup, and part chat show, it has a little something for everyone—if you like that sort of thing. The eponymous star first blipped on the radar through her appearance on Last Comic Standing, where she made it to fourth place, beating out several more experienced male comedians who underestimated her youth and gender. Her true breakout performance, though, was as part of the gaggle of comedians roasting Charlie Sheen a couple of years ago on Comedy Central.
  • Women in TV Shows: You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby

    If the door to women in TV shows was partially closed in the early 1950s, it was kicked wide open by Lucy (Lucille Ball) and her friend Ethel (Vivian Vance) on I Love Lucy. They cleared the comedy pathway for funny leading ladies Donna Reed, Mary Tyler Moore, Elizabeth Montgomery, Barbara Eden, Carol Brunett, and Eva Gabor. Today, we can see ample evidence of the Lucy legacy in shows like New Girl, Whitney, and Two Broke Girls. Wide eyes, red lipstick, and slapstick are running strong on sitcoms in 2013, and we can thank Lucy for that gift among many others. America never had equivalent…
