Six reasons to watch CBS’ “Mom”

April 2, 2015 Eric Kohanik

The misadventures of single mom Christy Plunkett (Anna Faris), her mother Bonnie (Allison Janney), and Christy’s teenage daughter Violet (Sadie Calvano) are at the core of the off-kilter comedy dished out each week on CBS’ Mom. The irreverent and often-cynical sitcom has already been renewed for a third season and if you haven’t seen it yet, you really should. Here are six reasons why: 1: The Opening Title Theme After each episode’s opening scene, there’s a quick parade of photos featuring Christy’s past – as a pole-dancing stripper, crawling her way through a pet door, hoisting a champagne bottle while […]

March 15, 2015 Lori Acken

The Dovekeepers — the newest TV event from Roma Downey and Mark Burnett under their LightWorkers Media banner — is based on a bloody chapter of human history. But, says Downey, the tale’s true foundation is love and the resilience of the human spirit. “We’re most interested in telling stories that find light in the darkness,” she explained at a recent press event. “Dovekeepers is really a love story … a love story in the face of this incredible tragedy.” Inspired by Alice Hoffman’s heralded 2011 bestseller, The Dovekeepers tells the intertwined tales of mistreated beauty Yael (Rachel Brosnahan), mystical Shirah (Cote […]

March Madness: NCAA Selection Sunday 2015 TV special on CBS

March 14, 2015 Ryan Berenz

Recruit. Rebuild. Win. Repeat. It’s a vicious cycle in college basketball, but one that Kentucky Wildcats head coach John Calipari seems to have mastered. Calipari won his first (and the school’s eighth) NCAA championship as a head coach in 2012, then lost six players to the NBA Draft. The following season, UK missed the NCAA Tournament entirely. In 2014, a young Wildcats team got it together in the postseason and reached the championship game as a No. 8 seed. This season, with few NBA defections and stars Aaron and Andrew Harrison, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Dakari Johnson returning, UK again has […]

Battle Creek: Vince Gilligan’s Breaking Bad follow-up was conceived over a decade ago

February 28, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

“It’s embarrassing to note that I’ve never actually been to Battle Creek, Mich.,” laughed Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad) last summer at a press conference introducing his new series Battle Creek. “I am fascinated by the name because it’s such a great name, because it’s got the word ‘battle’ in it.” Despite Gilligan not having been inspired by the city because of a visit, Battle Creek manages to capture the ambience of a hardscrabble small town. The drama follows mismatched law enforcement officers (Josh Duhamel and Dean Winters) with polar-opposite views of the world, who work to clean up the streets […]

CSI Cyber — The new kid in the CBS franchise tackles “Crime 2.0”

February 26, 2015 Lori Acken

Can you control your thermostat, your DVR and even your coffee maker with just a couple taps of an app on your phone? It’s cool, certainly — convenient, for sure — but it could also make you a prime candidate for a savvy new brand of criminal. It’s a great big Wi-Fi world out there and our willingness to forego our privacy for the love of the latest gadget is the catalyst for a timely new CSI spinoff. CSI: Cyber stars recent Oscar winner Patricia Arquette as Special Agent Avery Ryan, head of the FBI’s Cyber Crime Division — a role […]
