Bruno’s TV Journal: MTV and The True Art of The TV Block

Guest Star Goodness: Franklin & Bash 2-Hour Season 3 Premiere
[WARNING: Major Spoilers for 2-hour season premiere] TNT’s Franklin & Bash is back for another season with our favorite trouble-making, party-having, girl-crazy defense attorneys, Jared Franklin and Peter Bash. For me, it’s pretty much the perfect summer series. It’s fun, flirty, flashy and doesn’t take itself too seriously. It also…
2011 Emmy Watch
The 2011 Emmy nominations were announced this morning, and hot damn! did they get it right for so many new nominees. There were the usual snubs, which suck, but I’m focusing on the positive.

Episode: “Good Cokp Bad Dog” Teleplay: Abraham Higginbotham and Jeffrey Richman Story: Abraham Higginbotham “Why me? We had amazing seats for Lady Gaga and he gets sick. I’ve been looking forward to that concert for months. It’s the one gay cliche I allow myself.” “Luke and Manny barged into our…
Modern Family’s Moment of Goodness: Cam’s Hands
It’s Mother’s Day and Cam’s feeling a little touchy about it. He and Mitchell can’t stand it when the straights assume gay’s are like women. They aren’t. After Mitchell makes him breakfast in bed and the ladies at the park give him flowers and call him an honorary mom Cam feels like…
Mega-Sized Moments of Goodness: The Comedy Edition (Week of April 18th)
Lots of great comedy entertained us thoroughly the week of April 18th. Monday How I Met Your Mother “Hopeless” (CBS) Jerry comes clean with Barney I’m not a regular HIMYM watcher, but I tuned into “Hopeless.” John Lithgow guest-starred as Barney’s biological dad. The moment I loved most came after…

For All Mankind Season 2: Talking with Wrenn Schmidt, Krys Marshall, Jodi Balfour, and Sonya Walger [Exclusive]

Rosy McEwen Talks The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Season Finale [Exclusive]

Rosy McEwen Talks The Alienist: Angel of Darkness [Exclusive]
Hands down, one of the best surprises of The Alienist: Angel of Darkness is that the serial killer this season has been front and center alongside the cast as a fully-formed character. We’ve watched Libby Hatch devolve from a prim, mild-mannered nurse to a woman in a rage hell-bent on…
The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Relationship Recap: John and Sara
[Warning: Spoilers for “Belly of the Beast” and “Memento Mori”] If you’ve read me for a while (thank you!), you know two things — I lean way, way in on the characters I adore and I loathe love geometry arcs. So, I’m torn about where we are and where we…
Louriza Tronco Talks The Order Season 2 [Exclusive]
[Warning: Spoilers ahead for Season 2.] The Order’s second season is dark yet delightful entertainment on many levels, and one of its biggest sources of joy and snark is the sassy Gabrielle Dupres. Last season, she was assertive and deadly and fairly annoyed with the world. This season, she’s been…
Previewing Netflix’s Virgin River
[Warning: General spoilers ahead.] Full disclosure: I have a Netflix account for my Mom, but I’m not a regular viewer. If I get a heads up on something, I’ll go look for it, but I don’t have a wander across its offerings, which, as I understand it, is how most…

Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”
Who can you trust? If this episode of The Catch was any indication, the answer is just about nobody.

What They Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Black Sails “XXIII”
The dialogue in “XXIII” is phenomenal. It’s always a fun ride when Black Sails carries its viewers along without giving them the chance to catch their breath. When an episode moves at this unforgiving pace, there is no chance for a breather nor is there a respite from the information…
What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”
Supernatural episodes are almost always funny but thanks to the dialogue and a certain man speaking said dialogue, I laughed a lot during “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” You know, when I wasn’t busy fearing for Sam’s life or wondering what in the world was going on with Dean and…
What They Said: The Flash, “Legends Of Today” and Arrow, “Legends Of Yesterday”
Two nights of Arrow + The Flash = what more could we ask for?! I don’t know what it is about blending these shows, but I can’t help but feel that every time they come together, they somehow become greater than the sum of their parts. And that’s saying a lot…
What they Said: Top 4 Quotable Moments from Graceland “Little Bo Bleep”
Shoot outs. Fake outs. And long-awaited revelations. “Little Bo Bleep” was a jam-packed episode that wrapped up some loose ends and totally frayed others. Â It finally gave us one Sarkissian in jail and pulled back the curtain on Briggs’ master plan, but it also set up Jakes for a world…
