Saying goodbye to Ducky was difficult for his colleagues at NCIS and viewers. The current incarnation of the NCIS Major Crimes Response Team bid farewell to longtime medical examiner Donald “Ducky” Mallard on NCIS Season 21 Episode 2. But only about half of this squad really knew Dr. Mallard, who started fading into retirement about four

Whether you want a feel-good escape from reality or to embroil yourself in drama you would never experience in your daily life, TV has got you covered. But what happens when the world you see onscreen is overshadowed by what’s going on behind the cameras? If you’ve ever had a favorite show hit by scandal,

When Fire Country Season 1 Episode 22 aired way back in May of 2023, its controversial conclusion left fans divided. The debut season of the hit CBS drama dragged its protagonists through hell and delivered some surprisingly satisfying character arcs — only for the season finale to bring us right back to where Bode Leone‘s

While it may have followed Seinfeld as Larry David’s second major TV series, Curb Your Enthusiasm has the most unique voice of any TV series of the modern era.  While set almost entirely in Los Angeles, Curb has a very New York-centric and Jewish sensibility. And at the center of it all is Larry David,

It’s looking like we might have a hostage situation on our hands. While we’ve seen sneak peeks into the massive ship disaster that will open up the much-anticipated 9-1-1 Season 7, we’ve now been gifted with a new trailer detailing this emergency’s magnitude. And Bobby and Athena are right in the middle of it. From

It’s so good to have Blue Bloods back, even if only for a little while. On Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 1, Jamie spoke for all the fans when he said it was good to be home. The 14th season opener delivered everything I love about this show: family conflicts, tough calls on cases, and

Hiatuses suck. But you know what makes them worthwhile? Teases about what’s to come! They’re a perfect way of holding us over until the newest installment. And there’s much to look forward to with Chicago PD Season 11 Episode 5. While the character-centric formulas continue to irk our spirits on occasion, it goes without a

When screen legend David McCallum passed away in September, NCIS fans wondered how the show would deal with the sudden departure of his beloved character, Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard. Now we have the beginnings of an answer to that sad question. The show set the stage for Ducky’s departure with the final scenes of NCIS

Man, it’s good to have So Help Me Todd back. The CBS dramedy was a hit in its freshmen run, with viewers enthralled with the ongoing mischief between a mother and son who worked incredibly well together despite their constant bickering. And I’m happy to report that lovable bickering was back in spades during So

Big news for fans of All American and Walker! The CW announced its spring slate of shows today, and both series will be returning to our screens sooner than expected. All American is the CW’s most-watched show, so it was no surprise that the announcement began with an update on the network’s popular football drama.

The word of the day is bureaucracy, and Janine has gotten a face full of it. This week on Abbott Elementary Season 3 Episode 3, our favorite teachers have found themselves in some tricky conflicts. We also got some out-of-character moments for more than one of our friends at Abbott. The episode kicks off with

Can you believe it’s been 16 months since the Resident Alien Season 2 finale? Even if you watched it all again as I did, parts of Resident Alien Season 3 Episode 1 feel a little off-kilter because so much happened just before the world came crashing down, making us wait so long for the series

The original Bewitched was a lighthearted sitcom about a supernaturally gifted housewife who could alter reality just by wiggling her nose. But it sounds like we’ll soon be presented with a very different version of Samantha Stephens. A reboot described as “an irreverent hourlong reimagination” of Bewitched is currently in development by Sony and writer-producer

If you’re alone this Valentine’s Day, fear not. Bridgerton and The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live are here to help you experience all the romance and soul-crushing anxiety of a first date with a hot but sketchy Tinder match! Both shows marked the occasion of February 14 by surprising their fans with the gift

The long-delayed season premiere managed to be both surprising and disappointing. FBI Season 6 Episode 1 did start with a bang. It also was topical, with terrorists and innocent civilians being killed as part of the narrative. But it’s a Dick Wolf production. “Ripped from the headlines” is to be expected. Also, after the writers’

You can never go wrong with moms. It’s always a delight when Lena and Stef guest star in an installment, and Good Trouble Season 5 Episode 17 gave us some family moments between the Adams-Foster parents and the Hunters. And the hour also saw Mariana and Joaquin doing the opposite of what Callie told them

Imagine a world where your most beloved television characters could run for president. Sounds like a great idea, right? Now, consider some of those characters actually being in office. Part of what makes certain television characters so enticing is their flaws, but those flaws could translate badly in positions of power. Some are hilariously incompetent,

It’s impossible to imagine any modern work of fiction from a relatively unknown author creating the sort of cultural impact made by James Clavell’s 1975 novel Shogun. In the 49 years since its publication, the book has sold 15 million copies and served as the inspiration for a Broadway musical, multiple video games, and an

There was a stunning revelation on Monsieur Spade Season 1 Episode 5 that we should have seen coming a mile away. We also got our first true glimpse into the monster that is Philippe Saint Andre as we said goodbye to a character we’ve come to know well. Let’s dig into a jam-packed episode and
