LL Cool J is a very busy man. He’s a multi-Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/music producer, he is of course the star of CBS’s NCIS: LA and he’ll be hosting the 55th Annual Grammy Awards this Sunday night for CBS. On the one hand, at a Q and A panel for the Television Critics Association, both LL Cool J and CBS executive vice-president in charge of specials, music and live events Jack Sussman acknowledge that the performer’s presence as a network regular was perhaps a factor in his hosting the awards this year. “Well, I’m thinking it had something to do with it,” […]Read On »

Stars: Joel McHale, Chevy Chase, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover, Jim Rash, Ken Jeong Writer: Ben Wexler Director: Tristram Shapeero Original Telecast: February 7, 2013 Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights While it’s no secret that COMMUNITY creator Dan Harmon was unceremoniously fired last season just after the show was renewed, the unfortunate part is that with Season 4, it’s clear he was the glue and “voice” of the show that kept it together. His unique point of view and strange sense of humor kept COMMUNITY alive and well. Even when it had an uneven […]Read On »

This week’s DALLAS is top notch with more action, drama and suspense in one episode than most TV shows have in one season. Christopher’s (Jesse Metcalfe) witness for his divorce proceedings goes mysteriously missing while his soon-to-be ex wife Pamela Barnes (Julia Gonzalo) begins an illicit affair with John Ross (Josh Henderson).

Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer:  Rob Hanning, Story by Rob Hanning & Cooper McMains Director: Thomas J. Wright Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: February 4, 2013 When you think of “Recoil,” especially in the context of a crime-show such as CASTLE, you generally think of a gun recoiling back toward the shooter. But it also means drawing back in disgust from something repugnant, and for Det. Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) and crew, it’s hard to think of a character more repugnant than the man who had Kate’s mother […]Read On »

However, all we’ve known until now about their paternal grandfather, John Winchester’s dad Henry (Gil McKinney), is that he ran out when John was still a child. Or so they thought. As we see in the SUPERNATURAL episode “As Time Goes By,” it turns […]Read On »
