Marisol Nichols is returning to Riverdale they undid her exit
I thought Riverdale’s Marisol Nichols changed her mind and was staying on it for season 5 now
J.K. Simmons is always a great addition and elevates any show in the same way Gerald McRaney does.
I thought I saw that Richard Flood was leaving I guess I saw that wrong
I hate to be negative , but not happy with ‘forced’ departure of DWTS’s Tom Bergeron & Erin Andrews..
Tyra Banks.. not happy at all .. end of my years of viewership!!!!
Same. It would have been slightly tolerable had they replaced Erin with Tyra, but I’m guessing that Tyra would not have been content with playing second fiddle. …nah, I didn’t like Tyra as host on AGT, and I’m guessing that she’s just as annoying/inept as host now.
I feel the same way. She wasn’t good on AGT and I don’t like her replacing Tom and Erin
They caved to the politically correct nonsense!!
Melendez’s death on The Good Doctor still hurts. :(
I had read no spoilers, so it surprised me. And while I was thinking that it was a little cliched to have Claire hook up with Melendez, I did like them together.
I liked them together, too. I hadn’t heard any spoilers either. So, it was quite a shock go me, too.
I’m not sure it qualifies as a spoiler anymore since the episode aired almost 4 months ago.
I totally agree with you, Liz. This still bothers me, it won’t be the same without him!
Paget Brewster on Blood & Treasure… awesome
can’t wait for Pennyworth season 2.
The Joel Stoffer news is great! It may take me a while not to call him Enoch, though.
So, Hartley Sawyer is fired for comments he made YEARS ago. But, Nick Cannon says anti-Semitic & racist comments just LAST MONTH, he gets to keep his job because he “apologized”. Huh, interesting
Two different networks I suppose.
Like My name is said different networks Si they do what they like. Also Cannon actually lost one of his menu jobs so again different networks do things differently.
You should file a complaint with the agency that enforces the Uniform Code of TV Network Star Discipline.
Good Doctor:
I HATED Carly…but LOVED Melendez’ snarkiness, so i’m 50/50ish on that one
High School Musical and The Mandolorian are on a ROLL!!! :D
I’m gonna miss America Ferrera, Delroy Lindo and Cush Jumbo. Really happy about Beau Mirchoff and Charles Michael Davis
Why can’t I see this, I tried clicking on it and it is just a picture, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
Charles Michael Davis the NEW guy on NCIS-NO needs to move on. Wrong character for the show. POOR FIT.
Sophia Bush needs to be added to FBI or FBI Most Wanted…seeing that she was recruited by FBI NY office she should be on one of the Wolf Production shows.
Wow talk about inclusion !!!!! Lets make up for all the bias in 1 season
Wow. For lady 19 yes I have watched The Voice except when this thing called Gern Stepganie was there. Now its coming back. Sorry and I know I’m not alone but will not see this sradon and future seadons if “its” still on the show. Why? So many reason that I can’t mentioned due to words that I can’t express here. But pary of my family who have been, and friends, fans will not be seeing. Pkeade make a better pick next time tome yo fulfill the vacancy. Its a shame. There are better people out there.
I like TVLine but what drives me crazy is the screen constantly adjusting itself. The constant movements and pop ups at the bottom. The advertisements are way too many.
What is a solider?
I totally agree. Charles Davis should move on. He is not a team player and his character is to arrogant. I thought they were going to have the actor (The female actress) that was in the arm forces that pride cleared of murder. She would have been a very good fit with Tammi.
Jim Carrey was never a cast member of SNL. He did host the show a few times, though. He was a cast member of In Living Color.
