I made a gallery of new shows premiering this year, one of which is The Mick which debuted on Sunday and moves to its regular time tonight. If you’re a fan of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, it’s worth your time — if you’re not, stay away. I personally enjoyed it, for what it’s worth. (Oh, and note that the 24 reboot doesn’t premiere this month, but in February. Whoops.)
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s firing phrase on Celebrity Apprentice is “You’re terminated,” and now none of us have to watch that show and contribute to lining Donald Trump’s pockets.
The Bachelor was on last night, and I’ll be posting my recap sometime today. In the meantime, please read this INCREDIBLE editorial by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar about how The Bachelor is destroying the concept of love and romance in our society.
So, what’s so wrong with a little harmless entertainment of watching people scramble for “love” like ravenous crabs on a washed up seal corpse? In the short term, nothing. Just good, clean fun. But the long-term effects of their choices — from the types of people selected to be on the show to the promotion of a subversive, childish concept of love — is like smoking or listening to Kenny G: it can have serious consequences.
I’m getting this entire piece tattooed on myself. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for President.
A fictional show about a reality show about fake love has created a real relationship. Congratulations, UnReal cast members, on your wedding!
Here are a bunch of behind the scenes videos of how the Demogorgon was created for Stranger Things. They are really pretty cool.
Debra Messing is here to throw some cold water on that Will & Grace reboot.
Man in the High Castle will be back for a third season on Amazon.
Joe Scarborough is having a hard time explaining himself schmoozing with Donald Trump at his New Year’s Eve party this weekend. He was “asking for an interview.” LOL OK.
Sharon Horgan, the creator and star of Catastrophe, pays tribute to Carrie Fisher in this amazing piece. “My God, girls, we owe her a lot.” Indeed, we do.
