Samantha Bee mocks “sausage fest” of late-night TV scene in teaser for her new TBS series

May 13, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

At the Turner Upfront presentation this morning, during the TBS portion, a teaser for former Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee’s upcoming late-night, issues-oriented series poked fun at the preponderance of men on the late-night TV scene. The teaser finds Bee at an art gallery, looking at pictures of hosts like Seth Meyers, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Carson Daly, John Oliver and newcomer James Corden. Bee admits that she likes looking at each picture individually, but upon stepping back, it seems to her like something is missing. Driving home the point that late-night TV is basically a “sausage fest,” a waiter appears with a huge […]

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 […]

TBS Seinfeld marathon focuses on Newman during “Thank a Mailman Day”

February 3, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

Wednesday, Feb. 4, is Thank a Mailman Day. Postal customers in the Midwest and East who have gotten their mail in the midst of a couple of blizzards might very well want to thank their mailman (or woman) on this day, but TBS is celebrating it in another way. On Feb. 4, the network will air a marathon of Seinfeld episodes focusing to some degree on one of television’s most memorable mail carriers: Jerry Seinfeld’s sworn enemy — the Lex Luthor to his Superman — Newman (Wayne Knight). TBS will allow you to say, “Hello, Newman,” to the character during four Seinfeld episodes that show […]

24 Hours of A Christmas Story simulcast on TBS and TNT for first time

December 24, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

In 2014, Turner Networks is airing its 18th annual “24 Hours of A Christmas Story” programming event starting Christmas Eve at 8pm ET/PT and continuing until 8pm on Christmas Day. The running of the beloved 1983 film for 12 consecutive showings has become a holiday tradition for many; so much so, that this year, along with its usual airing on TBS, the marathon will also be simulcast on sister network TNT for the first time. This marks a homecoming of sorts for the film on TNT; when Turner Networks started this marathon in 1997, it originally aired on TNT before […]

“American Dad!” recap: “Now and Gwen”

November 18, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

Francine took the spotlight in last night’s American Dad! episode “Now and Gwen,” which was fairly unmemorable and, again, not as “edgy” as TBS keeps promising (I heard a “shit” and a “God damn,” which would have been bleeped on broadcast, but otherwise …) We start with Francine having a nightmare in which she’s back in high school, trying to run away from her sister Gwen (voiced by Uma Thurman), who transforms into a fiery monster that burns down the school. In the dream, Francine is led to safety by Scott Baio, and upon awakening, admits to Stan that she’s […]
