Actresses We Swooned Over In 2018

I can not for the life of me understand why I didn’t make this easy on myself and narrow this down to like 10-15 actresses. But there are so many that we’re swooning over this year and had I more…

‘Arrow’ 7×09 Review: Elseworlds, Part 2

No doubt my favorite thing about these annual crossovers are the interactions between all of these DC characters that typically don’t get a chance to interact. There’s such a great camaraderie and it adds some flavor to the episodes. This…

‘The Flash’ 5×09 Review: Elseworlds Part 1

Well, it’s that time of year again. Time for the annual crossover between the Arrowverse shows – or three of them this year, at least. Every year, it’s a chance to see all (or, rather, some) of our favorite characters…

‘Murphy Brown’ 11×11 Review: ‘The Wheels On The Dog Go Round And Round’

 Before I get into Murphy the dog owner or Avery the man of principles, let me clarify something reported in other media. Murphy Brown IS NOT canceled. Some media outlets presumed it was, based on CBS’ spring schedule. But show runner…

‘The Flash’ 5×05 Review: #ABiggerWorldForIris in “All Doll’d Up”

Over the last year or so, fans of Iris West have used the #ABiggerWorldForIris hashtag to tweet about what they would like to see for her character. After this week’s episode of The Flash, titled “All Doll’d Up,” either the…

‘Murphy Brown’ 11×07 Review: ‘A Lifetime of Achievement’

“Don’t forget to treasure the moments. They will carry you through the roughest of times.” There is no way Murphy Brown’s writers could have known how resonant those words would be last Thursday night. Here in California, we were reeling…

‘Murphy Brown’ 11×05 Review: ‘The Girl Who Cried About Wolf’

Murphy Brown bounced back this week. While last week’s jokes fell flat or felt like they were lifted from a Twitter war, this week’s edition felt much sharper and more focused on the characters we love. We say it all…

‘Murphy Brown’ 11×04 Review: ‘Three Shirts To The Wind’

The Murphy Brown revival promised the nostalgia of an old favorite, and the promise of sharp, topical humor. Four episodes in, neither of those factors are as appealing as the mother/son dynamic of Murphy and Avery. Sadly, we got little…

‘Charmed’ 1×01 Review: We Could Have Had It All

Oh, Charmed. I had high hopes for you the first time I watched this pilot episode. Funnily enough, the episode hasn’t changed, but my views on you – if not the episode – have. We could have had it all,…

‘The Flash’ 5×01 Review: “Nora” Is The Course Correction This Show Deserves

Second only to the Pilot, “Nora” may have been the most important episode of the series. In a sense, it was like a Pilot episode of its own. Last season, The Flash’s original show runner, Andrew Kreisberg, was fired for…

‘Murphy Brown’ 11×02 Review: “I (Don’t) Heart Huckabee”

Jake McDorman’s Avery Brown is quickly becoming my favorite part of the Murphy Brown revival. His episode-closing scene with Candice Bergen’s Murphy made up for some early flat notes. It’s not that they didn’t try. But many of the lines…

‘Murphy Brown’ 11×01 Review: ‘Fake News’

There is nothing fake about my joy in seeing Murphy Brown back on my TV. I’ve been anxiously awaiting this revival for months, and the premiere did not disappoint. From the opening montage of the 2016 presidential campaign (over a…

The Seven Facets of Westallen Love

As any Westallen fan – and Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, and Todd Helbing themselves – will tell you, the relationship between Barry Allen and Iris West(-Allen) of The Flash is unique. In a medium that often values drama over strength,…

More ‘Murphy Brown’ In The Season Premiere

We were already eagerly anticipating the return of Murphy Brown to our TV sets. Now CBS is exciting us even more with the news that next week’s premiere will get an extra five minutes! That’s five more minutes to get…

‘The Flash’ SDCC Interview: Jessica Parker Kennedy Teases Nora’s Arrival & Being a ‘Daddy’s Girl’

This isn’t the first rodeo for The Flash when it comes to season-finale cliffhangers. But it just might be its best in a long time. In the final moments of the season finale, a young woman claiming to be Nora…

‘The Flash’ SDCC Interview: Candice Patton Previews Iris’ Struggle with Nora & Return to Journalism in Season 5

When Nora Allen, the daughter of Barry and Iris, showed up on their doorstep in The Flash’s season finale, there was a sense of utter surprise and, on Iris’ front, excitement at the new revelation. But as we glimpsed throughout…

‘The Flash’ 4×23 Review: “We Are the Flash”

Finales are always bittersweet. On the one hand, they should (ideally) wrap up loose ends, give ongoing arcs a satisfactory conclusion, and tease fans with hints of what to expect in the future. On the other hand, there’s that long,…

Five Reasons We’re Excited for the ‘Charmed’ Reboot

Every time a show we loved gets a reboot, we worry. The reasons for this are two-fold: some things, we recognize, are not perfect, no matter how much we loved them back in the day and yet, there’s always the…

From The Upfronts: ‘Murphy Brown’ Making Her Comeback

Of all the new shows the networks are promoting at their Upfronts this week, the one that has me the most excited is an oldie but goodie. Murphy Brown is coming back to CBS this fall, on Thursday nights at…

‘The Flash’ 4×22 Review: ‘Think Fast’

The penultimate episode of The Flash’s season four – titled ‘Think Fast’ – wrapped up a few loose threads. And left a good number dangling. A Bad Man’s Bad Plan Unsurprisingly, this season’s Big Bad, DeVoe, had a great deal…

Lets Talk About The Dark Side of Fandom

I love fandom. I love having a place to connect with other people who love what I love. There is just something about joining a community of people, all of whom are invested in the same thing you’re invested in…
