Scott McCord Talks From Season 3
From the jump (pun intended), I’ve been a staunch advocate of Victor (and Scott McCord, who plays him), and this season, he’s been put through it. On the heels of sending Tabitha off into the unknown and having her return with his father, he unearths the long-suppressed memory that as...

Two Takes: The Catch “The Knock-Off”

What Lucifer Said: Favorite quotes from Supernatural “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

3 Moments of Goodness from Brooklyn Nine-Nine “Johnny and Dora”

What They Said: Favorite Quotes from Supernatural “Angel Heart”

What They Said: Favorite Quotes from New Girl “Landline”
Jess has a ladyboner for a new teacher, with a pretty inappropriate last name. I approve. Coach, ever the player, gets in trouble at school for dating (I’m using the term euphemistically here) two school employees at the same time. And Nick imagines himself a sort of secretary when they...
