When reality TV burst onto the scene in the late ’90s and early 2000s, network execs felt like they’d struck gold. Here was a niche filled with cheap, easy-to-produce fare that rarely relied on big-name stars who would only demand more and more money if the series became a success. The early seasons of Survivor

Through six seasons of 9-1-1, we’ve seen Evan “Buck” Buckley go through a lot.

Abbott Elementary is back with another slam-dunk episode! Hopefully, you can forgive the pun — the basketball game intro was a great start, though.

This could be the first glimpse at Maggie’s next chapter. The theme of FBI Season 6 Episode 5 was parenthood.

At first, it appeared Jessica was merely a one-off in an episode focusing on

Amanda Rollins will return for another visit! Her absence has left a hole in the Law & Order: SVU universe that no one else has filled despite three new detectives joining the unit.

As we’ve discussed in our previous Fire Country reviews, if the current season has a fatal flaw, it’s the writers’ apparent desire to cram 22 episodes worth of drama into a season that’s been shortened by the writer and actors’ guild strikes. In fairness, recent episodes have delivered some of the series’ most gripping action

Enjoy Heather the Avian Alien while you can, folks, because if the title of the next episode is any indication, she’s soon leaving the nest. The title is “Bye Bye Birdie.” If there’s one thing that we know after Resident Alien Season 3 Episode 5, it’s that Harry isn’t going to save the world if

Did we see that correctly? Is Nikki Batista mobbed up? Outside of the fact that Dania Ramirez would be amazing and gorgeous executing (pardon the pun) a Mob Wives parody, Alert: Missing Persons Unit Season 2 Episode 2, giving us this new insight into Nikki’s past has certainly piqued interest. There’s no way that’s the

Do the Gamers know they don’t have a monopoly on reality television? The second season of The Traitors is a cultural experience — it’s the Megatron of reality television.

Starcrossed lovers have been popular since Shakespeare’s day, and Days of Our Lives offers many. They even had Ben and Ciara play Romeo and Juliet once (something most fans would like to forget!)
