Stars: Carlos PenaVega, Nick Carter, Bindi Irwin, Alek Skarlatos, Network: ABC, airs Mondays Original Telecast: Nov. 23rd, 2015 What an emotional night on DANCING WITH THE STARS: The Season Finale, part one.  Bindi Irwin’s  & Derek Hough’s Freestyle was a tear jerker with everyone ending up sobbing as she danced her little heart out in honor of her dear departed Dad. It was a lovely and tender tribute, a performance that just may have sealed the deal with audiences and garnered her the trophy. But we won’t know for sure until tomorrow night.

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Teach Grant, Sarah-Jane Redmond, Adam Cohen Writer: Robbie Thompson, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Thomas J. Wright Network: The CW, Wednesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: October 21, 2015 The supposed gimmick in the SUPERNATURAL Season 11 episode “Baby” is that it’s from the point of view of Dean’s (Jensen Ackles) beloved Chevy Impala. This is a decent idea as far as it goes – we’re in Season 11 of a gonzo show, no reason the car can’t have a viewpoint. Trouble is, no one seems to want to go on record, […]Read On »

Subkoff also displays visual style to burn, setting her story in a uniquely-structured house […]Read On »
