June 26, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Get out your dancing flip-flops and get ready to boogie! Tonight, Disney Channel’s brightest young stars go back to the beach in Teen Beach 2! In the next chapter to the 2013 smash, Teen Beach Movie, modern-day teens Brady (Ross Lynch) and Mack (Maia Mitchell) get a real world visit from their retro surfer and biker pals from the beach party film within a film, West Side Story. I chatted with Mollee Gray who returns to her role as sunny surfette Giggles and Ross Butler who joins the cast as brainy hunk, Spencer and both shared amazing stories about their time shooting […]

This May Be The Craziest Thing I’ve Ever Seen on TV: Bagged

June 25, 2015 Kellie Freeze

I’m all about finding the best on TV and spreading the word, and sometimes a show is so hilariously outrageous that I’m delighted, flabbergasted and speechless at the same time. Such is the case with Bagged. Season 2 premieres June 25 (Which depresses me — because how have I lived in this world and not known about this show until now!?! So. Much. Wasted. Time.) On each episode of Bagged, a single person looking for love goes on three separate dates and has to choose their favorite. The catch? Each of the three dates wears a bag over their heads […]

BOOM! Explosive New Game Show is Da Bomb!

June 24, 2015 Kellie Freeze

On BOOM!, FOX’s new trivia game show, you either get money or you get messy! Teams of family members, friends or even coworkers try to defuse bombs by clipping wires corresponding to the correct answers of trivia questions. Those who correctly answer the increasingly difficult questions stay clean and earn cash. But a wrong answer turns sloppy; if a contestant clips an incorrect wire, the bombs unleash an explosion of gross proportions as chili, chocolate pudding or even pizza sauce bursts forth. “When you know you have a very physical manifestation of your wrong answer exploding in your face, it […]

Recap Naked and Afraid: Garden of Evil

June 21, 2015 Kellie Freeze

They’re not even inserted and our male participant already sees stormy weather heading his way… foreshadowing is never good. Guess what? We’re heading to a place that is so terrible that nothing can live there! Have fun! From the travel brochure that was so lovingly read to us, we learn that Cayo Venado, Mexico is home to mangrove swamps, which are the perfect home for Jaguars and Panthers. And we’re not talking about Florida sports teams. Since the producers of Naked and Afraid: Garden of Evil are masters of planning, this trip coincides with the area’s rainy season, with “storms of biblical […]

The Sounds of the Series: The Last Ship

June 21, 2015 Kellie Freeze

TNT’s dramatic thriller, The Last Ship chronicles a global catastrophe that nearly decimates the world’s population. Because of its positioning, the Navy destroyer U.S.S. Nathan James avoided falling victim to the devastating tragedy. But now the crew and its captain exist in a chaotic world with few survivors. As the second season opens, Captain Chandler (Eric Dane), XO Slattery (Adam Baldwin), Dr. Rachel Scott (Rhona Mitra) and the rest of the crew come home to a world they no longer recognize. I spoke to Emmy winning composers Jim Dooley and James S. Levine about the musical elements that turn the […]

Today, Discovery Family Channel kicks off summer with the premiere of an all-new season of Strawberry Shortcake’s Berry Bitty Adventures. Season four introduces three new characters — twins Sweet and Sour Grapes, and Apple Dumplin’ — in 13 thirty-minute episodes that deliver positive messages of friendship, self-esteem and honesty. I was lucky enough to get an exclusive clip from the series premiere from Discovery Family Channel and here it is, ICYMI. Too cute!! In celebration of 35 years of Strawberry Shortcake (Cue me feeling very old) and the June 20 season premiere, Strawberry Shortcake and Cherry Jam spent time with […]

Naked and Afraid XL Preview Clips

June 19, 2015 Kellie Freeze

During last night’s double-episode of Naked and Afraid, Discovery premiered a preview of Naked and Afraid XL, the network’s exciting summer series where 12 former Naked and Afraid contestants accept a new, and more unfathomably-difficult challenge. Some of N&A’s most memorable contestants will work together as a group as they survive in the Colombian jungle for 40 days. This is insanity. 40 Days?!? Many of the returnees successfully completed the 21 day-survival challenge (some of them alone!) so for them, what are a few more weeks? And for those participants who failed in their first attempt, it’s time for redemption! Related: […]
