According to The Hollywood Reporter, MTV will launch a 10-episode reboot of the Scream franchise starting October 2015. The series will be executive produced by Harvey and Bob Weinstein and director Wes Craven. Clearly, MTV is following in the footsteps of Ryan Murphy’s phenomenally successful American Horror Story franchise that recently premiered its fourth season …

Globes Telecast: All Good Things Must Come to an End
Amy Poehler and Tiny Fey’s brilliant reign over the Golden Globes will come to an end after next January’s ceremony, their third turn as co-hosts. Promoting her recent memoir “Yes Please,” Amy Poehler revealed the news on NBC’s Today Show Tuesday morning saying, “Unless you want to be a perennial host, there’s nowhere to go …

The Walking Dead: The Good In All the Bad
With a Walking Dead episode titled “Four Walls and a Roof,” you have to wonder how long it will take before these four walls and a roof come crashing down on our survivors. With zombies. But that scene happened last season, and this episode, one that I argue is as quietly great as any in …

Saturday Night Live: Rocks and Treats
Jim Carrey returned to Saturday Night Live for the third time in his career to plug Dumb and Dumber To, the long-delayed sequel to 1994’s Dumb and Dumber. As an added bonus, he’s hosting the Halloween show, which has historically produced one of SNL’s better shows of the season. However, last night’s outing was something …
Things that Go Bump in Horror Nights
Earlier this month, I walked with the dead. I cavorted with vampires. I survived an encounter with a face-hugging alien. I looked into the eyes of Michael Myers. I loved every second of it too. For those who have experienced it firsthand, Universal Studio’s Halloween Horror Nights inspires obsession. The combination of cinema-level makeup and …
Quick Hit: The Affair
I literally knew nothing about Showtime’s new drama The Affair going into it. In fact, if you are even slightly inclined to watch the drama, then stop reading this quick hit immediately and come back when you’re done. I’ll be waiting… The Affair is a flat-out excellent drama. Save for its central conceit of telling …
Quick Hit: The Simpsons, Treehouse of Horror XXV
I love The Simpsons. I grew up with it. It’s a part of my DNA. Yet, much like an alcoholic family member, I avoided it when it fell on hard times. Granted, in its 26th season, it has managed to reinvent itself for a new generation of Homerites. It has shifted its sense of humor …

The Walking Dead: Bob’s Burgers
The cast of characters in The Walking Dead is making every effort to put the horrors of season four behind them. The diseases. The flowers. The prison. Terminus. All of it behind them, gone but not forgotten. Unfortunately (and particularly with this show), the past definitely has a way of catching up. As the latest …
The Knick: Bad Medicine
The Knick has closed its doors on season one. Overall, the premiere season was an effective one thanks to the vitality and visual engagement that director Steven Soderbergh served. In fact, I would hold up many scenes from the season against some of the finest cinematic work this year. I am still incredibly impressed with …
Marry Me: A Delicate Balance
NBCs Marry Me is either the worst sitcom ever created or a smart, witty and surprising meta/parody of romantic comedies. After watching the pilot episode, I have no idea what it’s really trying to be. I do know this though: I think Casey Wilson is a tremendous talent. Ever since her all-too-brief stint on Saturday …
