Jane the Virgin Chapter 51 recap: She Ain’t Your Mama
The honeymoon phase of Jane’s time with her cousin Catalina is over. In fact, it’s more like two weeks over now. Just four more days. Jane can make it, right? Let’s see if Jane can survive her cousin on tonight’s mid-season finale of Jane the Virgin. Dang! Abuela doesn’t play around when it comes to church. She makes Jane feel guilty that she hasn’t gone to church in a while and says that Mateo will suffer because of it. I highly doubt Mateo is going to make friends with the devil because he’s not attending church. Just watch out for […]

Tonight on Pop: Ali Wentworth Takes A Swig Of Late-Night Satire In Nightcap
Late-night TV is a competitive sphere where shows compete for viewer eyeballs and celebrity guests, and wage war in a never-ending quest to go viral. Ali Wentworth satirically filets the genre with Nightcap, in which she plays the neurotic talent booker for the outrageous (and fictitious) late-night talk show Nightcap With Jimmy. While we don’t meet the titular host, viewers do get a peek at the tomfoolery behind the scenes of his show. But the high jinks aren’t limited to the dysFUNctional crew — the show’s A-list guests are just as batty! The 10 episodes of Nightcap are star-studded, with […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 47 recap: Jane’s Sex Tape
After receiving good news from the doc on last week’s episode of Jane the Virgin, Jane and Michael are literally running outside the doctor’s office to go back home and get it on. Only problem is Rogelio is also outside … with the movers. Tomorrow is always another day. Whoa. Talk about a doppelganger. Jane looks just like Alba’s sister, Cecilia. While interviewing Alba for her thesis novel, Jane learns that Cecilia was the one who told Alba’s husband’s family that she wasn’t a virgin. Alba still doesn’t know why Cecilia did this to her on her wedding day. Maybe […]

To honor the legacy of legendary TV producer and film director Garry Marshall, who passed away this year at the age of 81, CBS’ sitcom The Odd Couple will pay tribute in a special episode airing Nov. 7 at 9:30pm ET/PT.
