Go Here For All Of Your AWESOME And EXXXTREME Alaskan Bush People Needs! Do the Alaskan Bush People get paid? We asked! Read our interview with the Brown family. “Alaskan Bush People?

Netflix Releases Teaser for “Fuller House”

December 17, 2015 Kellie Freeze

I grew up watching Full House. I wanted to be BFF with D.J. Tanner and so, of course I’ve been following the progress of Netflix’s original Fuller House with great anticipation. Today, the streaming service released the first trailer for the series, set to Miranda Lambert’s “House That Built Me,” and I’m feeling a little weepy. This is supposed to be a comedy, right? In the reboot Fuller House, Candace Cameron Bure plays D.J. Tanner-Fuller, a recent widow who moves in with her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and fellow single mother Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). Together, the women will raise Kimmy’s teenage […]

Survivor season finale recap episode 14: Who really deserved to win?

December 16, 2015 Barb Oates

Survivor: Second Chance season finale recap “Lie, Cheat and Steal,” Season 31, Episode 14 (original airdate Dec. 16): It was the most unpredictable finale in Survivor history, one where you’d be OK with a couple of the finalists walking away with the million (as long as it wasn’t Abi). The episode starts with Tasha, Jeremy, Keith, Spencer, Wentworth and Kimmi vying for a spot in the final three. It’s been an amazing season filled with the best mix of talent, class and unusual drama (Terry’s emergency exit, Joe collapsing and Abi just being Abi). Here’s how things went down (note: […]

2015-16 college football bowl games TV schedule

December 16, 2015 Ryan Berenz

So it seems that College Football Playoff thing actually lived up to the hype. In the inaugural four-team playoff to determine college football’s national champion back in January, the 13-member selection committee took some heat for choosing Ohio State as the fourth entrant over equally deserving TCU. But the Buckeyes bucked conventional wisdom and upset No. 1 Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl semifinal, then handed it to No. 2 Oregon 42-20 in the title game. The selection committee looked like geniuses, the playoff was a phenomenal success and the championship game became the highest-rated program in the history of […]

AXS TV Acquires David Hasselhoff Mockumentary Series, “Hoff the Record”

December 16, 2015 Kellie Freeze

Look out America, the Hoff is back. You didn’t know he was gone? Neither did I, but apparently after he helped Ian Ziering save the world in Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!, Hasselhoff traveled to the U.K. and shot a mockumentary. Now the UK is shipping the Hoff back home to the U.S. of A., where he belongs. No word yet when Hoff the Record will premiere, but it definitely has a great production team behind it and Hoff is fantastic at poking fun at himself. Full disclosure: while David was appearing on The Young and the Restless as Dr. […]

Kurt Angle reflects on run with TNA Impact Wrestling and decision to leave

December 16, 2015 Scott Fishman

When a video aired introducing Kurt Angle at the end of TNA’s No Surrender pay-per-view in 2006, it became the talk of the pro wrestling world. Angle made an immediate impact by revealing he had signed with the organization. Having someone of his credentials legitimized the brand like never before. Now, after almost 10 years, the Olympic gold medalist announced he was ending his current tenure with the promotion. His last few weeks run through Impact Wrestling’s first set of tapings for Pop TV, including a live premiere Tuesday, Jan. 5, at 9/8CT. Angle’s final dates with TNA will be […]

Yet ANOTHER 2015 year-end best-of-TV list!

December 15, 2015 Ryan Berenz

17 TV THINGS WORTH CELEBRATING IN 2015 17. The Left Shark Katy Perry’s Super Bowl XLIX halftime performance amped up the camp with dancing sharks, but the choreographically challenged Left Shark stole the show. It was probably his idea to pass on second and goal from the 1-yard line. 16. Empress of the Blues Queen Latifah brilliantly embodied blues music legend Bessie Smith in HBO’s Emmy-winning biopic Bessie, a visually and audibly engrossing examination of Depression-era social issues that linger today. 15. Here for the Fear AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead helped sate TWD fans’ late-summer cravings for zombie-head-busting fun […]
