Apparently, every ounce of innocent, sweet-natured joy that made 2011’s “The Muppets” such a whimsical burst of nostalgia can be traced back to one person. Surprisingly, it’s the guy who showed the world his dangly bits in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”
“The Walking Dead” and ABC’s “Resurrection” aren’t the only zombie shows in town. From “24” to “Heroes,” there are plenty of TV series that are among the walking dead themselves.
It’s fine and all — better than “Twilight,” worse than “The Hunger Games” — but “Divergent” feels like at least a dozen different CW dramas over the years. So why are teenage girls so excited about this and not the others?
The good news? “#RichKids of Beverly Hills” (10 p.m. Sunday, E!) is ending.
If the saying “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is” doesn’t run through your mind while watching the new series “Money Talks” (10 p.m. Wednesday), well, you’re just the type of person Steve Stevens, aka Darin Notaro, is looking for.
Meryl Davis and Charlie White won gold medals in Sochi for dancing on ice. Now they’re trading skates for shoes and ice for wood to take on a bunch of celebrities with zero dance training. Sounds fair.
I don’t know about you, but when I think Iranian-American romantic comedies, I think George Wallace.
The makers of “Need for Speed” were stuck with the title, but speed is the one thing the movie doesn’t lack. There’s a definite need for compelling characters. There’s most certainly a need for a coherent story. But speed? This thing has speed out the wazoo.
The duo will host a question-and-answer session at 10:30 p.m. Friday at the Suncoast following the 9:10 screening of their new documentary, “Tim’s Vermeer.”
Line cook Chris Eversole, 27, of Las Vegas and buffet cook Simone Hammond, 43, of Henderson are among the 20 aspiring restaurateurs competing for a head chef position at one of host Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants and the accompanying $250,000 salary.
The Bravo-fication of the cable channel begins Tuesday with this appalling, wretched excuse of a series.
What “Supernatural” fans lack in numbers, they make up for in enthusiasm. And you’ll be able to hear the screaming for yourself as the Salute to “Supernatural” Convention descends on the Rio.
“300: Rise of an Empire” slavishly re-creates the original. It feels like one of those quickie, direct-to-DVD cash grabs that somehow took seven years to surface.
Wayde King, co-star of the Animal Planet series, offers a look at some of the Las Vegas-based tanks he and Brett Raymer build for the reality show’s fourth season.
