Can we keep the Gremlin? After a string of bizarre monsters, Legacies Season 3 Episode 9 gave us a cute gremlin with a lot of sass, and it reminded me of Beebo from DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. The early scenes with the monster of the week hurling insults at the teenagers, chucking Lizzie in the

Remember that Friends episode where Chandler, Monica and Ross want to go see Hootie and the Blowfish, but Rachel, Phoebe and Joey can’t afford to? It’s notable, not only because Monica ends up making out with a Blowfish, but because it directly addresses a taboo subject on TV: money. Most sitcoms act like struggling young

The CW has released the synopsis for “Lost Souls”, the upcoming fourth episode of Supergirl‘s sixth and final season. The episode is set to air on Tuesday, April 20th. With just two episodes down for the season, things are not looking great for Kara Danvers/Supergirl (Melissa Benoist). In the season premiere, Lex sent her into

It’s something you can’t contest — New Amsterdam Season 3 has no qualms about tackling all sorts of issues without apology, and it isn’t pulling any punches. The series is taking some big swings, and New Amsterdam Season 3 Episode 6 dedicated most of the hour to exploring systemic racism and discrimination. It also had Helen

RELATED STORIES When The Nevers‘ first footage dropped earlier this year, I distinctly remember thinking, “Ooh, it’s steampunk Buffy with corsets!” Now that the drama, created by Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s Joss Whedon, has released its first four episodes to the press, I can confirm: It is, indeed, steampunk Buffy with corsets — and for

It was the end of an era on The Rookie Season 3 Episode 9 as two of our three original rookies were moving on…and leaving Nolan behind. At different moments, this installment had my heart in my throat, tears in my eyes, and even produced uncontrollable laughter. That’s a testament to just how good this show can

Paramount+ is asking SpongeBob SquarePants about the favorite character. The streaming platform is psyched about the series and it’s easy to see why. SpongeBob SquarePants: Camp Koral has been a big hit among younger viewers. The classic series always manages to be a crowd-pleaser as well. There are so many people to choose from with

by Trevor Kimball, April 3, 2021 (National Geographic/Gene Page) “The eagle has…” been grounded, at least for now. Disney+ has cancelled The Right Stuff TV series. It’s the first cancellation by the streaming service but season two is being shopped elsewhere. A drama series based on the bestselling book by Tom Wolfe, The Right Stuff

It’s easy to forget that Blue Bloods isn’t just a cop drama — it’s about politics. It isn’t quite like Madam Secretary, which was an overtly political show with a familial subplot. But it isn’t just about cops solving crimes, either. Blue Bloods Season 11 Episode 10 reminded us of that nicely when Frank had

“I’m not trying to be Steve. I’m not trying to replace Steve. I’m just trying to be the best Captain America I can be … It’d be a whole lot easier if I had Cap’s wingmen on my side.” When John Walker (Wyatt Russell) accepted the mantle of Captain America, it was after Sam Wilson
