NBC dropped some good news to take us into the weekend. The network unveiled its 2024 fall schedule, highlighting fan-favorite franchise dramas, two nights of laughs, huge unscripted hits and the biggest and best live specials and holiday programming.  If that seems like a mouthful, the details will probably help you see what’s what. FALL SEASON Three new series are set to premiere in the fall, including the drama Brilliant Minds, starring Zachary Quinto and inspired by the true story of a revolutionary, larger-than-life neurologist, Oliver Wolf, and his team of interns as they explore ..read more

It's hard to imagine a show like Clarkson's Farm becoming one of the top-rated shows on Prime Video. In February of 2023, it broke viewing records in the UK, and the 2024 season has already snatched the top spot from Baby Reindeer, with only four episodes released. What makes Clarkson's Farm so compelling, however, is the imbecilic, blundering buffoon that headlines the series, Jeremy Clarkson, along with his deadpan sidekick, Kaleb Cooper. The thing is, Clarkson isn't a fool. He's simply in over his head, diving headlong into an immensely complicated livelihood, far more than anything he has ..read more

Thank God for the John Sugars and Harry Vanderspiegels who visit our world. They make up for the rest of the observers whose observation is worse than action. Just like Harry on Resident Alien, Sugar's emerging humanity is one of the best things about him. Violence isn't the answer, and he knows it. But now he knows what even peaceful nations have long known -- to maintain peace, you must make threats, and if peace is disturbed, you must carry through on them. For a full Sugar Season 1 Episode 7 recap, click that link. It dives into the details, as usual. As much as John doesn't want to los ..read more

The last two minutes of Young Sheldon Season 7 Episode 12 were inevitable, but we still didn't see them coming. This was one of the season's most positive, upbeat, and funny episodes... until it wasn't. The reason George was absent from the family portrait was as shocking for viewers as it was for his family, and that was probably the point. Death is never an easy subject to tackle, especially in generally more lighthearted series. Before the announcement that this would be Young Sheldon's final season, many viewers hoped that the producers would ignore the backstory in The Big Bang Theory ..read more

The balance between medical cases and touches of personal storylines continues. The interns were mostly endearing during Grey's Anatomy Season 20 Episode 7, but the connections to the medical cases were most compelling. If it slipped anyone's mind that the new batch of interns has shades of the OG interns, then this installment was a reminder of how much Simone Griffith is her class' Meredith Grey. Most of the season has focused on the interns simply navigating life at Grey Sloan. And sometimes, we don't delve into their personal elements nearly as much as we should. The balance between ..read more

Station 19 knows how to bring the pain, the laughter, and, yeah, even some frustration. We got a healthy dose of all of the above with Station 19 Season 7 Episode 7, which was the epitome of a rollercoaster ride because they'd have you chuckling one minute and sniffling the next. No one will ever accuse this series of not bringing all the emotions. While they balanced out a couple of different things, Carina and Maya were at the forefront for the most part. With Carina, they revisited the lawsuit that Wendy filed against her for the health issues her child faced, and with only a couple of i ..read more

Whoa! Joey's intervention didn't go at all as expected. Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 4 Episode 12 once again proved that this is the best series on television, at least until it moves to its new home on Peacock. Stabler and Randall went vigilante to force Joey into sobriety, but they got a lot more than they bargained for. Now everything's in place for a season finale that may be literally explosive! Stabler and Randall Made a Desperate Move They'd had enough of Joey's nonsense, especially after learning he might have been involved in Sam's death, but also managed to break the te ..read more

Did Benson do the right thing? On Law & Order: SVU Season 25 Episode 12, she wanted to get closure and justice for Sykes and other families of children who went missing in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Sykes hated her for it, and finding Crystal's body after all these years broke her heart. Still, Benson's work allowed the families to get answers, which can be an important part of healing. Shannah Sykes is No Amanda Rollins Maybe it was because Rollins was fresh in my mind after Law & Order: SVU Season 25 Episode 11, but it felt like the SVU writers were trying too hard to make Sy ..read more

Like a dog with a bone, Elsbeth is on the case of a pilfered pooch like she has a bone to pick in Elsbeth Season 1 Episode 8. Technically, it's the dog's owner that Elsbeth is looking into, but this episode is so crammed with canines that it's hard to focus on anything other than the adorable dogs. However, at the center of "Artificial Genius" is Quinn, the CEO of a location-based crime alert app called Cerberus. Audiences who watched the Netflix show YOU will likely recognize Elizabeth Lail as the actress who portrayed Beck. Elsbeth has solidified certain formulaic practices, such as havin ..read more

No matter how you slice it, five hundred episodes is a big deal. Law & Order: SVU hit it last year, albeit with a controversial episode that angered many survivors. Now it was Law & Order Season 23 Episode 12's turn. They marked their 500th episode with a story that, ironically enough, seemed more suited for SVU but otherwise seemed like a typical episode. Was it special enough for the 500th? Law & Order Doesn't Do Tribute Episodes When Sam Waterson exited the series on Law & Order Season 23 Episode 5, it was a strong story that was still disappointing because it didn't ..read more
