“Rosewood” joins FOX lineup tonight

September 23, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

He’s definitely not Quincy! Morris Chestnut plays “private pathologist” Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr., who uses his own sophisticated technology and lab to perform autopsies on victims of crimes and accidents to uncover clues that the regular authorities may have missed. Sometimes the cops begrudgingly let “Rosie” help them out, knowing how good he is; other times he pretty much forces himself into a case. We are constantly reminded of how almost preternaturally good Rosewood is, and that can be a detriment at times to the show, as the character begins to come across less as confident and charming, and more […]

Recap: Blindspot Season 1, Episode 1 – “Who Are You?”

September 21, 2015 Rachel Cericola

For months, NBC has been pumping us up for Blindspot — and for good reason. The new drama is like Jason Bourne meets Blacklist. Maybe it’s more John Doe meets Alias. Either way, it’s pretty darn intriguing. • Blindspot Season 1 Recaps: Episode 2 | Episode 3 | Episode 4 The pilot episode opens up on a very familiar scene in Times Square. There are tons of lights, tons of people … and one random duffel bag in the middle of the street. Uh, hello? I’m no super-sleuth, but I know that unattended bags and briefcases are very bad in this day and age. […]

September 12, 2015 Ryan Berenz

On Sept. 8, 1965, Bert Campaneris of the Kansas City Athletics played all nine positions during a major league game vs. the California Angels.
