Stars: James Maslow, Meryl Davis, Candace Cameron Bure, Amy Purdy, Charlie White Network: ABC, airs Mondays Original Telecast: May 12th, 2014 It was a night to gush on DANCING WITH THE STARS. American Icon night had the judges handing out tens like hotcakes and the duos were lapping it up. Still, the biggest shock came when Olympian Charlie White & Sharna Burgess were eliminated in the ninth week and the usually lower-scoring Candace Cameron Bure & Mark Ballas got sent to the finals. It was no surprise to see Meryl Davis & Maks Chmerkovskiy earn a perfect 80 for the […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: J. August Richards on MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD – Part 1

Viewers of ABC’s MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD, in its first season Tuesdays at 8 PM, were dealt a huge shock with the episode “Turn, Turn, Turn.” Airing just after the theatrical release of CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER, it dealt (like SOLDIER) with the revelation that S.H.I.E.L.D. had from its inception been infiltrated by the proto-Nazi organization HYDRA, which has now revealed itself and is wreaking havoc. This is terrible for the series regulars – team leader Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen), Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker), Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) and Skye (Chloe Bennet), who’ve […]Read On »

Stars: James Maslow, Danica McKellar,  Meryl Davis, Candace Cameron Bure, Amy Purdy, Charlie White Network: ABC, airs Mondays Original Telecast: May 5th, 2014 The wicked witch of the dance floor – DANCE MOMS‘ Abby Lee Miller –  guest judged on DANCING WITH THE STARS tonight and boy was the tension palpable, especially between Miller and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. But it was clear none of the pros were her fans. Even when she praised the pros she was met with lukewarm gratitude. Why they would bring such a highly chagrined, low-level reality TV star to a show like DWTS is beyond me. […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: Ashley Madekwe on SALEM and REVENGE

SALEM poster - Season 1 | ©2014 WGN America

SALEM, WGN America’s first scripted dramatic series, airing Sundays at 10 PM, deals with the suspicions of witchcraft in that colony during the late seventeenth century. In series creators Adam Simon and Brannon Braga’s version of events, witches are real, very scary – and have a gift for framing other people for their sometimes bloody deeds. Some of the characters are invented, but some, like Ashley Madekwe’s Tituba, are people documented in history. Tituba was a slave who was tried for witchcraft, though there are conflicting opinions on her ethnicity and nationality. In Arthur Miller’s play THE CRUCIBLE, Tituba unwittingly […]Read On »
