MYV’s Generation Cryo premieres Monday, Nov. 25 at 10/9CT. Seventeen-year-old Breeanna Speicher has more than a dozen siblings, all sired by a single man. The list is growing. Until recently, she had never met any of them.

November 7, 2013 Lori Acken

“Spooksville”: Newcomer Keean Johnson takes up residence in Hub Network’s scary town

October 25, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Spooksville is a show about a young man moving into a strange new place and experiencing a life he never expected or thought possible. Minus the ancient curses and interdimensional monsters, it’s not all that different from the tale of its star, Keean Johnson. The young star is getting his first big break as the lead in the new Hub Network series, which is an adaptation of the popular book series by legendary young-adult author Christopher Pike. Johnson plays Adam, who moves with his dad (Steve Bacic) to Springville a seemingly sleepy small town that Adam is expecting to loathe. […]

Chasing Nashville recap: Small Town, Big Dreams

October 22, 2013 Lori Acken

I’ll admit it right out of the gate. I’m worried that Lifetime’s new reality series, Chasing Nashville, might devolve into the “Singing Moms” version of Dance Moms — squabbling mothers living vicariously through their talented kids. But I hope I’m wrong, because I’m a sucker for younger buskers trying to make it big and because it took mere minutes for me to become attached to two of the show’s core cast members, Autumn Blair and Helena Hunt. Blair is a 17-year-old coal miner’s daughter from Chloe, W.Va., who dreams of making it big in country music so her dad can […]

October 11, 2013 StayTuned Staff

With ’90s nostalgia booming, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody conjured up a Sabrina the Teenage Witch revamp. But the character, who started life on the pages of Archie comics way back in 1962, won’t be getting the live-action treatment this time out. Instead, The Hub Network is going animated with Sabrina Secrets of a Teenage Witch, casting its first spell Saturday at noon. Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical) voices Sabrina, who for those in need of a reminder is a half-witch, half-human girl trying to get through the ordinary traumas of being a klutzy high-school […]
