Tracy Morgan brings “Scare Tactics” back to Syfy; talks life without “30 Rock”

October 25, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Halloween is a scary time for sure. Ghost, goblins, life without 30 Rock. OK, so that last one might just be specific to Tracy Morgan, who for the first time since 2006 doesn’t have Liz Lemon to befuddle. But the boisterous comedian has plenty going on to stave off any fearful boredom. There’s his new standup special, which he was in the process of editing when we talked, and a marathon of new episodes of Scare Tactics airing Monday on Syfy. The hidden-camera show, where people set up unsuspecting friends or family members for pranks meant to bring them to […]

Scandal recap: Episode 4 – “Say Hello to My Little Friend”

October 25, 2013 Sterling Silver

Scandal recap: Episode 4 – “Say Hello to My Little Friend” The episode begins with members of Pope & Associates attempting a return to “normal life.” Jake Ballard (Scott Foley) wanted to join forces with Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) on catching her father, Eli Pope (Joe Morton). Olivia promptly responded by telling Jake she would return to her quiet father-daughter dinners, and that she didn’t know anything about Operation Remington or Jake Ballard. Huck (Guillermo Diaz) returned to Alcoholics Anonymous meaning to talk about his killings. He told the crowd about getting his bottle from someone, and how holding the […]

Gold Rush Season 4 is “frickin intense” Todd Hoffman tells us

October 24, 2013 Barb Oates

“It’s going to be the best episode in the history of Gold Rush,” Todd Hoffman tells us of the two-hour Gold Rush Season 4 premiere scheduled for Friday, Oct. 25 at 9pm ET on Discovery. And the premiere is just the beginning of what promises to be the craziest, most dangerous season yet, as Hoffman and his crew headed to the jungles of South America to mine for gold. Discovery is marketing the season as Yukon vs. the Jungle, “the veteran” [Hoffman] vs. “the kid” [Parker Schnabel]. Either way, it’s going to be insane. “The first episode of Gold Rush […]

The Pete Holmes Show brings comic’s smart sensibility to TBS late night

October 24, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Pete Holmes isn’t just living the dream right now. As he puts it, he’s in the midst of a “1-for-1, 100 percent … grotesque overshot of a dream coming true.” The 34-year-old comic always harbored fantasies of becoming a late-night talk-show host, but didn’t tell too many people “because it was so specific a dream that I didn’t want it to get crushed or have everyone know that I went out for my driver’s license and failed.” But the seemingly impossible has come true, as Holmes — under the auspices of Conan O’Brien — is about to start hosting The […]

The Pretty Little Liars Halloween special did not disappoint. By Aleina McGettrick The Pretty Little Liars Halloween episode on ABC Family did not disappoint, but does it ever? If you aren’t up to date on the PLL series it’s okay because it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out what’s going on, as the Pretty Little Liars episode, “Grave New World,” played a big part in introducing ABC Family’s spinoff show Ravenswood. The Pretty Little Liars episode starts out with Caleb getting on a bus that he thinks is going back to Rosewood but in actuality is on its way to Ravenswood. Back in […]

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 […]

Sons of Anarchy recap: “Sweet and Vaded”

October 22, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Last week’s episode included a memorable line from DA Patterson (CCH Pounder) where she takes off her wig, looks in the mirror and says, “Time to go hood, sister.” Tara (Maggie Siff) was on the receiving end of the tirade that came next, and she looked about as shellshocked as we’ve ever seen her. But it looks like she might have gleaned some inspiration from Patterson’s maneuver, because as you’ll see in this Sons of Anarchy recap, Tara goes all-out gangsta as her ultimate plan to separate her boys from SAMCRO. But first things first. The cleanup continues at the […]
