Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition Season 2 episode 8 recap: Shootout at the AUDC corral

October 22, 2013 Lori Acken

Another day, another counter on my screener, so let me just apologize for that right off the cuff, Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition fans. Also, let me thank all of you who engaged in such a spirited debate in the comments section of last week’s blog and for keeping it largely civil, since a large portion of the discussion was about a kid. A frequently obnoxious kid, to be sure. But a kid all the same. I think we can all accept she probably didn’t come out of the womb that way. And the editing room doesn’t help. But it’s also […]

NBA national TV schedule 2013-14

October 22, 2013 Ryan Berenz

NBA national TV schedule 2013-14: Regular-season nationally televised NBA games on TNT, ESPN, ABC, NBA TV and NBA LEAGUE PASS. The word “watchable” gets thrown around a lot in the NBA. More than just a measure of W’s and L’s, the ambiguous term factors in things like star power, off-court storylines, emerging young players and an exciting style of basketball. LeBron James and the Miami Heat are sometimes so good that they become unwatchable. The L.A. Lakers might be even more watchable when they’re bad. And how many times have you heard it said that a young but bad team […]

Cold Justice Season 1 finale: we talk with Kelly Siegler and Yolanda McClary

October 22, 2013 Lori Acken

When I first spoke with the stars of TNT’s Cold Justice, former Houston prosecutor Kelly Siegler and former Las Vegas crime-scene investigator Yolanda McClary, the duo were meeting press at a TNT network function and hoping that their vision for the true-crime series would resonate with audiences. A few months later, the series is among the network’s top launches and one of basic cable’s top 5 new unscripted series for the third quarter of 2013, thanks to an irresistible combination of intriguing crime solving and emotional storytelling. And Cold Justice has proven as effective a crime-fighting enterprise as it is […]

October 22, 2013 Channel Guide Contributor

The Walking Dead wins the 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Spookiest Series,” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. Even if you put the series’ spot-on commentary about societal ills and human nature aside, Dead creator Robert Kirkman and special effects guru Greg Nicotero’s combined knack for making the living and the undead equally creepy makes this a shoo-in to feed our nightmares week after gloriously gut-wrenching (and gut-splattered) week. Spookiest Series — Winner: The Walking Dead The Walking Dead/AMC 25.8% American Horror Story: Asylum/FX 23.1% Bates Motel/A&E 19.3% True Blood/HBO 18.2% Falling Skies/TNT 13.6% Percentages may not total 100 […]

Project Runway All Stars: We talk with new host Alyssa Milano

October 22, 2013 Lori Acken

Alyssa Milano became a household name as the Who’s the Boss? tomboy who graduated to smoldering roles in nighttime soaps like Melrose Place, Charmed and ABC’s summer hit Mistresses. But it’s her passion for fashion — and a bit of luck — that scored Milano her newest role, helming the third season of Lifetime’s Project Runway All Stars, which premieres Thursday at 9pm ET. “That’s actually a really interesting story — and it just goes to show you that you never know what’s going to happen from something that you do,” Milano explains. “I guest-hosted an episode of Fashion Police […]

October 21, 2013 Channel Guide Contributor

Mountain Monsters wins the 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Best Paranormal/Monster Series or Special” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. There was nothing mysterious about Mountain Monsters being the hands-down winner in this category, after seeing all the comments we got on our website when we first wrote about the show. Some of you were intrigued by the possibility of unknown Appalachian creatures, others critiqued the show for being unrealistic on many levels. And some of you clearly tuned in for Huckleberry’s beard (see the Best Beard category). Best Paranormal/Monster Series or Special — Winner: Mountain Monsters Mountain Monsters/Destination […]
