Tonight on Discovery: Survival With A Twist On “Men Women Wild”

November 11, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Tonight on Discovery, couples head to remote parts of the world to take on a 21-day survival challenge in Men Women Wild. If the premise sounds like Discovery’s smash series, Naked and Afraid, it is — to an extent. The six-episode series is produced by Renegade 83, the same production company behind Naked and Afraid, but once you get past the initial “2 people, 21-days,” the format takes a twist. First, the contestants aren’t nude. I give a big “Phew” on this one, because, how many pixilated body parts can one person watch? In this survival series, they have clothes. […]

Heeeeere’s Donny! Donny Deutsch Goes Off-Script In His New Comedy

November 5, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Donny Deutsch, TV’s rogue prince, satirizes the media in his soft-scripted comedy, Donny! premiering Tuesday on USA Network. The media mogul, author, former TV host, and current TV business commentator and general raconteur plays a hyper-fictionalized version of himself and casts a satirical eye on the media, wealth and modern romance. Deutsch calls the Curb Your Enthusiasm-like series “a real blurring of entertainment, news, talk, reality and advertising.” “My hero is Larry David,” he admits. “I think he set the tempo for this whole genre of television that’s somewhere between real and scripted. You watch his show and go, ‘OK, […]

In Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Ward (Brett Dalton) has a new right-hand man who is seemingly made of steel. Kebo, the quasi-henchman, is played by a real-life gladiator, actor Daz Crawford.

5 Questions with Stephen Bishop of BET’s “Being Mary Jane”

November 2, 2015 Kellie Freeze

The first three episodes of the third season of Being Mary Jane have been jaw-dropping, and Stephen Bishop’s character David has been at the center of it all. When I spoke to the actor before the Season 3 premiere, he’d been sworn to secrecy about much of the the new season, but revealed that his favorite scenes from last season were the ones he shot with Chris Spencer. “He and I have been friends for a long time,” Bishop said,” but we’d never gotten to shoot together. It was fun to see him do drama. He’s such a great standup […]
