As the 2014-15 TV season opens, we will be checking on the state of television comedy, old and new. Check out this space the day after most comedy premieres throughout September and October. The seminal early episode of New Girl is “Wedding,” which sets up, for the most part, the basis of the friendship between Nick, Jess, Winston and […]

Nasim Pedrad won’t be back for the 40th season of Saturday Night Live, as she now has a role on Fox’s new sitcom, Mulaney. While talking to Conan O’Brien Monday night to promote the show (and talk about meeting Kim Kardashian, whom she frequently impersonated), Pedrad mentioned that she could never get her impression of comedian […]

Blockbuster movie trilogies should always end on a high note, with the best stuff coming at the end. Unfortunately, in recent years, that hasn’t quite been the case. Think of The Dark Knight Rises, Transformers: Dark of the Moon or Iron Man 3. (Is it unfair to include the third Iron Man flick here?) Based on […]

Hey everybody, remember when U2 put out an album for free? It’s true! It happened, like, three days ago! The Irish rockers put out an album called Songs of Innocence that automatically went to every iTunes subscriber’s library, whether they wanted it or not. The reviews were… pretty much what every U2 album’s reviews have been since […]

In June, Saturday Night Live creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels told Deadline that the show was, “in the middle of rebuilding.” A significant part of that rebuilding process was announced Thursday evening when the New York Times broke the news that Michael Che will replace Cecily Strong behind the “Weekend Update” desk as the show […]

Is there a worse character on TV right now than Ray Donovan matriarch Abby Donovan? No. No, there is not. The shrill, grating wife of the titular character is the worst part of Showtime’s otherwise solid show. Abby, as played by Paula Malcomson, seems to serve no purpose other than to complain about how much […]

The phrase “rock is dead” has been thrown around so much that Pete Townshend included it in The Who song, “Long Live Rock.” Townshend wrote that song in 1972. Last week, Kiss bassist Gene Simmons was interviewed for Esquire by his son, Nick. The father and son discussed the current state of the recording industry […]

As expected when set photos of the new Batmobile from Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice hit the internet early Wednesday, director Zack Snyder responded with a “real” photo of the new Batmobile hours later. Here’s a real picture of the

We’ve all been that age when we just want the adults to stop talking so we can go. Can we go right now? Aaah! Or we’re currently dealing with kids who are sooo bored and just want to go play somewhere or do something — anything — else. Evidently, not even visiting the Oval Office and […]

If The One I Love was simply a straight-up character drama (or maybe a “dramedy”) about the deterioration of a marriage and the efforts to recapture what brought a particular couple together in the first place, it might be worth watching. Elisabeth Moss and Mark Duplass are compelling enough as the leads that seeing them act out the […]

Films based on older TV shows have been hit or miss, but movie studios will still always try to cash in on some nostalgia, perhaps with a modernized or satiric take. Warner Brothers has been trying to develop a movie based on CHiPs, which ran on NBC from 1977 to 1983 for almost 10 years. […]
