February 24, 2014 Ruth Boulet

Downton Abbey is done. The Olympics are over. What a perfect time to keep my television viewing habits going and start RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6! Yay! Who needs to get up off the couch? Ru is setting us up to believe that there’s some sort of horror/slasher movie theme this season. Whatever. After watching this first episode, I can report that there were no references to blood or horror at all. We’ll see if that holds up for the season. And speaking of seasons, we’re treated to our first twist of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6, and it’s a […]

February 24, 2014 Barb Oates

Blake Lee and Ginger Gonzaga in Mixology offer the perfect chemistry to give this midseason comedy potential. “I honestly never loved a pilot more,” says Ginger Gonzaga, of Mixology coming to ABC Wednesdays at 9:30pm ET/PT beginning Feb. 26. The actress, who was in 2012’s top-grossing comedy Ted, knows funny. The series was one of 60-70 pilots she read last year and it was the standout. “It’s addictive. It’s very avant-garde.” Created and executive produced by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore (the writers who penned The Hangover), the series follows the misadventures of 10 singles at one bar, over one […]

February 24, 2014 Tom Comi

The Voice Season 6 starts Feb. 24 on NBC, and it’s a pivotal juncture for the popular musical competition. Cee Lo Green announced recently that he is leaving the show, marking the first deviation from the original cast of judges. Sure, we’ve seen Usher and Shakira fill in for Green and Christina Aguilera for a season — as they will again beginning tonight at 8pm ET — but this is the first scratch in the program’s armor. The second scratch could be the recent news that Aguilera is pregnant with her second child. Although NBC would obviously do everything to […]

February 24, 2014 StayTuned Staff

Without a doubt, Legit is one of the crudest comedies on TV, what with star Jim Jefferies’ penchant for foulmouthed humor often laced with sexual and drug-addled content. But it’s also, amazingly, one of TV’s most thoughtful and sincere shows. Moving to FXX for its sophomore season, Legit follows the exploits of Jefferies and his motley band of friends as they struggle through everyday life. In addition to Jefferies and his sad-sack buddy Steve (Dan Bakkedahl), the other main character is Billy (DJ Qualls), Steve’s quadriplegic brother with muscular dystrophy. Instead of the show merely treating Billy like a saintly […]
