  • Several Peeks at Orphan Black Season 3

    Several Peeks at Orphan Black Season 3

    The latest preview for Orphan Black season 3 indicates that a theme of the new season will be what happens when the male clones and the female clones interact. Based on this clip of a meeting between Sarah (Tatiana Maslany) and Rudy (Ari Millen), things might be a bit fraught in the extended family. Sarah…

  • Two New Shows: One Big Happy and iZombie

    Two New Shows: One Big Happy and iZombie

    Two new shows hit the schedule this week. I took a look at them. Here are my reactions to these new offerings. Both air on the same night, which is why I thought these two very different series should be lumped into one review. Just go with it. One Big Happy With Ellen DeGeneres on…

  • HBO Discovers Women: Will I Have to Subscribe?

    HBO Discovers Women: Will I Have to Subscribe?

    HBO is coming out with a new app for Apple TV, iPad and iPhone called HBO Now that subscribes to all the HBO content for $15 a month. I may have to consider using it, because HBO has suddenly discovered women.

  • My Life Coach Plan for Alyson Hannigan and Casting Directors Everywhere

    My Life Coach Plan for Alyson Hannigan and Casting Directors Everywhere

    Alyson Hannigan tends to take parts in shows that turn out to be wildly popular and last for years. For that reason we usually see her as a sweetheart of a character for long stretches of time. The result is that when we think of Alyson Hannigan we think of the nerdy and loyal best…

  • Off Camera will Interview Jennifer Beals and Lake Bell

    Off Camera will Interview Jennifer Beals and Lake Bell

    The other day I saw a mention that Jennifer Beals was going to be on the show called Off Camera with Sam Jones. This is a DIRECTV Audience show that I’d never heard of. I started searching for ways to watch and found that there’s a website and a way to see Off Camera shows…

  • Brain Dump: Supergirl, Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Blacklist

    Brain Dump: Supergirl, Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Blacklist

    It’s a brain dump day. Short thoughts on big topics. Supergirl’s Costume Just released photos of Supergirl’s costume show a muted color palette. But the costume is not over-sexualized. I love that. It looks like Supergirl, but a serious super hero, not a sex object. I was hoping for brighter colors and mentioned that on…

  • Review: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

    Review: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

    Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt caught my eye because it was created by Robert Carlock and Tina Fey. The Netflix-only series stars Ellie Kemper as the title character. The set-up is that 4 women have been held in an underground bunker for 15 years by a crazy reverend (Jon Hamm) who told them there was an apocalypse…

  • Scandal’s “The Lawn Chair” Episode

    Scandal’s “The Lawn Chair” Episode

    Everybody everywhere has already had something to say about this remarkable episode of Scandal. It was so clearly Ferguson, so clearly real. But we got something not so real – it is television, after all. We got Olivia joining the protestors instead of helping the white cops who hired her. We got a public racist…

  • Broad Squad: Cop Drama with 4 Lead Women

    Broad Squad: Cop Drama with 4 Lead Women

    Get this: a drama about 4 female cops will be called Broad Squad. Horrible name, right? Except that it was the name given to the female cops in the first graduating class in Boston Police Academy in 1978. At the time, the local press dubbed the graduating females “the broad squad” and that’s where the…
