What the hell is happening on CBS? I mean it. I know they’re considered the grandma network, known mostly for terrible 3-camera sitcoms, procedural crime dramas, and reality TV, but the crushing mediocrity of their new fall comedies is actually mind-boggling. It seems as though CBS revamps their comedy brand every year and whatever one […]
On Monday CBS announced the cancellation of two shows after just one season each. Both BrainDead and American Gothic were summer series- a seemingly cushy spot for a network drama where cable-like 13-episode seasons, less competition and lower ratings expectations often result in good-faith renewals that give critical darlings time to find their feet.

How? Why? What? Literally, though, HOW?! Does Kevin James have illicit photos of the CBS top brass? Is there a curse on Erinn Hayes? Is it possible this has been on a shelf for ten years and CBS only pulled it out because hackers erased all of their 2016 pilots leaving them with nothing to […]

This is Netflix’s game, everyone else should get out of it. Also, Daniel Tosh, can we please be done with him? Episodes (Fourth Season) The penultimate season of this […]
Before we dive into last night’s episode, let us take a moment to remember the Beast Mode Cowboy that was. I’ve always thought Caleb was great TV and predicted after episode one that Survivor was likely more his game than Big Brother. Sure enough, he was killing it. He was never going to be an […]
The new season of Survivor is here and, coming off of Second Chance, expectations are fairly low.
