We’ve covered quite a few actors and actresses here at TV Fanatic, and while some of them have fallen into the “familiar face in the background” roles, none have snuck up on audiences like Olivia Munn. One of her first acting gigs was that of “Claw Hostess” in the Steve Carell and Tina Fey comedy

Jerry Seinfeld is still haunted by his TV mother’s words — “How could anyone not like him?” No wonder Seinfeld has been all over social media in recent months. He forgoes his usual stoicism and criticizes everything in sight, from critics of his movie “Unfrosted” to Howard Stern, college campuses, and even the cast of Friends.  In

Max is in danger, and Chris is unconscious. For a series on its last episode after a recent cancellation order, CSI: Vegas threw viewers straight into the action from the opening scene. As fans say goodbye to the CSI team we’ve grown fond of for the last three years, CSI: Vegas Season 3 Episode 10

It feels like it’s been forever since Sloan stole Nicole’s baby. Days of Our Lives often drags things out for ridiculously long, and it didn’t help that the writers’ strike left us with substitute scribes who kept things more or less in a holding pattern for months. At the rate this story is moving, baby

It takes a certain caliber of actors to move seamlessly through the entertainment industry and make just enough waves while avoiding the pitfalls. That’s what Jennifer Morrison has managed to do in almost 30 years of her career. While the actress has primarily stayed in the television lane, she’s been in her fair share of

Gear up, Chicago Fire fans, because it’s time to say goodbye. At least for the season, we’ll hang up our helmets and turnouts and leave Chicago’s bravest to a much-needed break. Sadly, we’ll be saying a real goodbye to one of the show’s longest-tenured cast members. Eamonn Walker announced his exit recently, and we’re told

Frank Reagan doesn’t believe that cops should receive special treatment when they break the law, but Danny and Sid apparently do. On Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 10, they spent most of the hour searching for a rogue cop running around threatening court officers with his gun because he was upset that a perp had

We’re interested in trying new things at TV Fanatic. Today, associate editor Tyler Johnson and I had an off-the-cuff conversation that felt like an article in the making. But what if the conversation is more fun than any article we could write? We’re about to find out. Carissa: I love this bit from David Cronenberg

So, that happened. And by “that,” I mean not much at all. What is there to really say about Grey’s Anatomy Season 20 Episode 8? Other than it was an episode, things happened, but it had little importance or substance. It’s probably because so much of what has happened feels redundant. Much of the hour

These episodes begin with Rebecca, Amy’s scarcely-seen mother. It’s nice to finally get a character moment with Rebecca, the catalyst behind Perry’s leap into the void of the mysterious circle, Cecilia’s breakdown, and the Abbot family’s struggles in court. In fact, Perry Abbott’s absence resulted in a Notice of Forfeiture in court, resulting in a

While the season has been somewhat underwhelming overall, it shouldn’t be surprising that, as it nears its conclusion, they’re pulling out all the stops. Could Chicago PD Season 11 Episode 12 be the best installment of the season thus far? It’s a likely possibility! For starters, despite some focus on Hailey, as we see a

 If you haven’t set time aside to watch Outer Range Season 2 this week, you might want to change your plans. On a recent press day celebrating the series, we had the chance to talk with executive producer and star Josh Brolin and executive producer and showrunner Charles Murray independently. They offer a unique look

My head is still spinning from everything that just transpired. Seriously, if The Rookie Season 6 Episode 9 didn’t do anything else, it would have set the stage for a positively explosive season finale. The hour was all gas and no brakes. So many names were thrown at us that it was hard to keep

Walton Goggins, the ghoulish antihero of Prime Video’s Fallout series, has become an unexpected sex symbol with the show’s success.  Undoubtedly, the reason is the character of Ghoul. Goggins combines a hardened survivalist’s anarchic mind with a Hollywood cowboy’s rustic stoicism.  He feels like Ronald Reagan channeling John Wayne, like a man at the end

FOX released its fall schedule earlier today, and now we’ve got our first look at the new series. We’ve got your first look at the upcoming dramas, including Rescue: HI Surf, Murder in a Small Town, and Doc. Take a look now!

Cancelations suck, and the 2024 season has been particularly brutal. Long-running favorites such as Station 19, Blue Bloods, and Young Sheldon are going off the air, leaving fans brokenhearted — and actors out of a steady gig. Sometimes, actors land a new gig right away, and other times, they struggle to find new work. The

When you pair up two ridiculously magnetic actors in an action-adventure series, what you get in return is one hell of an entertaining hour of television. Tracker Season 1 Episode 12 may be the best installment since the pilot. And I’ll let you take a wild guess as to why that might be. Whoever decided

Li Shin didn’t seem like he would ever get justice. After Gabi found him bleeding out on the floor of his apartment and stupidly grabbed the knife, she was carted off to jail despite her innocence. No one did anything about getting her out or finding Li’s real killer… until now.  Days of Our Lives

It’s taken nearly two full seasons, but Will has finally built a genuine family connection with someone. Bringing on John Ortiz to play Antonio Miranda has been a delight. He has a believable connection with Ramon Rodriquez, so Antonio wants to show him his heritage and family in Puerto Rico. Spoilers for Will Trent Season

Like the song says, “Carry on, my wayward son. There’ll be peace when you are done.” Well, one out of two isn’t bad because Jensen Ackles has definitely carried on, but he is far from done. The long-time resident of the CW has had his handsome face shining on the small screen for almost thirty

Blue Bloods gets better and better. The closer this series gets to the end, the more heartbreaking it is that it’s leaving the airwaves. Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 9 featured an innocent man paying a steep price when Erin called out his lawyer’s misconduct, Eddie dealing with a case that seemed to belong in

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

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

On a Hallmark Channel live discussion today, Chris McNally weighed in on what lies ahead for Lucas Bouchard. After three seasons in the spotlight, When Calls the Heart is Lucas-light, and it’s hard to bear. But McNally promises that there is a heavier story coming his way. “A big snowball that’s getting bigger, and bigger,

Without a doubt, Kevin Atwater is the purest, most universally adored, and best character in the series. And it’s always a delight when he gets some focus, which is precisely what Chicago PD Season 11 Episode 11 set out to do as it touched on some of Atwater’s finest attributes: his dedication, compassion, sympathy, and

To choose emotion over action is how madness lies, or at least that’s how it seems when it comes to television ratings in this Golden Age of procedurals.  It is rare to see a drama series deviate from by-the-numbers plots featuring by-the-book law enforcement characters because networks opt to make spinoffs within that formula rather

There was always a chance Steve would be autistic, but can The Good Doctor do this story justice? The Good Doctor Season 7 Episode 8 bounced everywhere with this storyline. Shaun fretted about Steve and had flashbacks of his father’s mistreatment, while Lea’s good reasons for not wanting to do a brain study were dismissed

The Madney wedding came and went, and we are still feeling the effects! 9-1-1 Season 7 Episode 6 was the long-awaited wedding episode Madney fans had been clamoring for. While it was a little different than many expected, there was still a wedding when the dust settled. If you haven’t had a chance to hear

Was that for real? Is Jessica Knight out the door as it appeared after NCIS Season 21 Episode 10? And did the only intrateam romance in the current NCIS franchise go with her? It’s been a wacky season for TV as the networks slash and cut, then slash some more following the new writers’ and

Audiences of all ages adore cozy mysteries. Within the genre, Hallmark mysteries have reigned supreme for years. The question is which Hallmark mystery movie franchises are the best. The best cozies contain idyllic settings, well-established characters, and elements of romance and humor. They also need staying power, which is why the multi-movie series are usually
