Suits, Franklin and Bash tie for Best Legal/Political Show in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Suits and Franklin & Bash tie in the 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “Best Legal/Political Show,” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. As Gabriel Macht, who plays Harvey Specter on Suits, told us about his character earlier this year: “He takes such risks and I think people just love that. And there’s just a sense that women love him and men want to be him, that’s what I’m getting.” And that’s what we got, too, when readers voted for Suits for their favorite legal/political show. But Harvey Specter wasn’t the only winner in this category, as TNT’s Franklin & […]

The Bible wins Best TV Movie or Miniseries in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Award! Viewers (millions upon millions of them) tuned in to The Bible miniseries on History, and saw that it was good. Producer Mark Burnett’s respectful take on various tales from Scripture enraptured audiences and created buzz surrounding everything from how much the actor playing Satan resembled President Obama to how much violence was appropriate to portray.

Burn Notice wins 2013 Viewers Voice Award for TV Series You’ll Miss the Most in Channel Guide’s 2013 Viewers Voice Awards

Burn Notice wins 2013 Viewers Voice Award for the “TV Series You’ll Miss the Most,” in Channel Guide’s annual reader poll. Its final campaign might not have had the groundswell of, say, Breaking Bad’s home stretch, but Burn Notice left plenty of people sad to see it go. After seven seasons of sexy spy fun, Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) and company went out with a particularly dark season and an epic finale that brought its characters to the very brink. For all those forlorn fans, though, creator Matt Nix says he hopes to bring back the series via the occasional […]

Boardwalk Empire Season 4 episode 7 recap: ‘William Wilson’

Running underneath the surface of Terence Winter’s sprawling HBO series Boardwalk Empire for three and a half seasons has been a distinctly Marxian, heretical and all-too-true appraisal of 1920s America, boiling down to this: everything is a grift. It’s not just booze and its absurd illegality, nor the politics fueled by racketeers’ receipts, nor the graft that stretches all the way to the presidency – even the “proper” job Margaret (Kelly Macdonald) has found after bolting Atlantic City crime boss Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) conscripts her into chicanery. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that this milieu yielded the 1929 Crash because […]

The main event on FOX’s primetime lineup tonight is undoubtedly the wedding between Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and Booth (David Boreanaz) on Bones, but nestled into the nuptials will be an extended sneak peek at the network’s upcoming sci-fi drama Almost Human. The latest TV project from executive producer J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Fringe) tackles the classic themes of what constitutes humanity in a future world where crime has run rampant and law enforcement has become overwhelmed to the point where each officer is mandated to take on an android partner. The extended sneak peek will also air simultaneously across all […]
