Wow! The new fall network TV season must have bought some new sneakers, because it just came out of nowhere!

2019 Summer TV Binge-watching
While summer used to be about taking a break from TV and watching blockbuster movies, counter-programming on Netflix, Amazon and other streaming channels have made this summer more about some fun shows. While I enjoyed myself some Avengers and Spider-man action early on, over the last month there’s been a new series to binge-watch each…
BBT vs GOT: What’s the right way to end an era?

Winter TV 2019 – February Shows

Fall TV 2018 – Part 3
After another 2 weeks, the fall TV season is definitely in full swing. I’ve already given up on some shows (Goodbye, Manifest!) and some I’m still waiting out to see (Talkin ’bout you, Murphy Brown!). Another thing I’ve been waiting for has been the new “witch” shows to debut. I was semi-excited for the Charmed…
Fall TV 2018 – part 2
The flood of premieres slowed down a bit over the last couple of weeks, but there were still some interesting premieres with a few surprises.
