ColorofChange.org statement on SNL Kerry Washington cold open

November 6, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

Saturday Night Live has long faced criticisms for its lack of racial diversity in general among its cast members, and recently it has drawn specific fire primarily for not including women of color (the show has now gone six years without a black female cast member, and there have only been four total in its 39-year history). Cast member Kenan Thompson stirred things up last month when he told TV Guide that a lack of quality black female comedians is to blame for their non-appearance on SNL. “It’s just a tough part of the business,” he told the magazine. “Like in auditions, they […]

Chasing Nashville recap: Welcome to Music City

November 5, 2013 Lori Acken

On this week’s Chasing Nashville, it’s time for the ladies to start making their way to Nashville to work with Keith Thomas. He says that less than one half of one percent of hopeful singers are ever offered a recording contact and he’s hoping one of the girls is among the lucky few. Back in Pikeville, it’s time for Savannah’s birthday party, but her parents are arguing over Robyn taking Savannah to Nashville. When the Presleys show up at the party, Robyn tells her dismayed daughter she invited them because they’re new in town. While poor Lauren Marie sits in […]

Sons of Anarchy recap: “John 8:32”

November 5, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Rarely are titles of episodes more indicative of what’s to come than for this Sons of Anarchy recap. If you don’t have a Bible handy, I’ll just paraphrase John 8:32 and tell you it’s the one that says “the truth shall set you free.” Well, Jax (Charlie Hunnam) gets a whole Old Testament load of truth this episode, and it’s going to make the rest of the season one to remember. The episode starts with an only so-so attempt to draw parallels between couples Jax and Tara (Maggie Siff) and Gemma (Katey Sagal) and Nero (Jimmy Smits). Essentially, the point […]

November 5, 2013 Lori Acken

Welcome back, Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition fans. Was everyone still awash in the glow of Rachelle’s good deed, using her callback card to save Trinity, when we started this week’s competition with Abby and her pink feathery boa? I know I was. And it didn’t last but a minute. Abby reminds the dancers that there are no more callback cards left, so eliminations from here on out are final. Then she tells them that this week’s theme is Divas, and the skill is performance. Anybody care to guess who we hear from first? La la la la la la … […]

The Walking Dead recap Season 4 episode 4: ‘Indifference’

November 4, 2013 Lori Acken

How you feel about “Indifference,” the latest episode of The Walking Dead, likely depends on what you believe makes a good leader, coupled with your idea of what drives the prison crew to solider on: the hope of a return to some sort of civilized and thriving society, or a day-to-day struggle to stay one step ahead of a horrible demise that will eventually catch up. If you have no hope for the former, how do you muster the will to take on the latter? At the heart of this tale are two leaders — one quietly but resolutely working […]

Boardwalk Empire recap Season 4 Episode 9: ‘Marriage and Hunting’

November 4, 2013 Matthew Grimm

Van Alden (Michael Shannon) began Terence Winter’s epic HBO series Boardwalk Empire as the anti-anti-hero, a stoic, pure-of-heart crusader who didn’t even entertain sexual thoughts in context of his joyless marriage. He was the intrepid T-man out to bring down the illicit empire of Atlantic City kingpin Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi), the lily-white cop archetype and then some, up to the point of the fire-eyed evangelical fury in which he strangled his unbeliever (Jewish) partner – and in Shannon’s deft hands he was a seriously scary heel. Credit Winter that he has taken his time to craft Van Alden’s arduous, […]

We talk Restaurant Express with Robert Irvine!

November 2, 2013 Lori Acken

Having come to the aid of 89 ailing eateries on his long-running Food Network hit Restaurant Impossible, Robert Irvine knows a thing or two about what makes a dining establishment thrive.
