A whole bunch of finales and one return of a classic animated series on the slate for Thursday. And, of course, Shondaland. JASON’S PICK: Life in Pieces [CBS, 8:30p] I’d almost say that CBS is burning off the episodes of this charming and unique little ensemble … Continue reading What to Watch: 03/31/2016
The CW’s Arrow wins the Wednesday with an episode which recaptures the quirky spirit of the show’s early season, and re-introduces hacker villain Brie Larvon. Brie brings bees with her and the story gets crazier from there. The Americans decides that you don’t have to be going on … Continue reading Wednesday’s Best Reviewed: Arrow
Broad City – B+ It’s a classic scheme-that-backfires meets a let’s-stay-out-all-night that fuels this week’s Broad City misadventures. The premise is a bit thin as we open on Abbi & Ilana videochatting — both on the toilet, because of course they are — about a plan to … Continue reading Our Wednesday Reviews
Our final Late Night battle, which saw the departure of The Daily Show, The Nightly Show, Late Night, The Tonight Show, The Late Show, and two game shows (Hollywood Game Night and @Midnight) sees a final face off between two shows airing weekly. Both Full Frontal and Last Week Tonight are hosted … Continue reading March Madness: Full Frontal with Samantha Bee vs. Last Week Tonight with Jon Oliver
Last weekend’s big release, Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice raked in the money, bringing in $193.23 million in its first five days, despite negative reviews (my favorite is David Edelstein‘s, particularly where he likens Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne to Dick Cheney).

NAVANI’S PICK: Lopez [TV Land, 10p] George Lopez gets politically incorrect in his new single-camera shot sitcom loosely … Continue reading What to Watch: 03/30/2016
We’ve seen the Bronco chase, the Marcia haircut, the glove that fit, and the jury who wore black — anyone who remembers the 90s certainly knows the one iconic moment of the OJ trial that’s left. And given the anthology’s track record, it’s quite predictable … Continue reading Tuesday’s Best Reviewed: American Crime Story
Brooklyn Nine-Nine – A Jason Mantzoukas’ leagues-over-the-top performance as Adrian Pimento, a cop turned deranged after 12 years undercover with the mob, should be a Ted McGinley level jump-the-shark dealbreaker. Instead, I’m feeling genuinely dejected to see Pimento’s arc possibly end, taking his impromptu wedding to Rosa … Continue reading Our Tuesday Reviews
Only two dramas remain for March Madness, and both have big casts, beloved by fans. Orphan Black features many characters, played by one woman (and a few others, too). Game of Thrones might employ all of Hollywood. Both one-hour dramas feature violence, action, and intrigue. But Orphan … Continue reading March Madness: Orphan Black vs. Game of Thrones
It’s a great night for comedy, whether it’s slapstick in a loft or singing gleefully in a car. There’s also zombie strippers (no not these ones), paranoid cops, and one-night stands. NAVANI’S PICK: The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special [CBS, 10p] James Cordon’s … Continue reading What to Watch: 03/29/2016
