The CW Announces 2016-2017 Fall Schedule; And It’s Super
Thursday, ahead of its annual presentation to advertisers, The CW released its 2016-2017 fall schedule. The decade-old network will premiere two new series this fall, with another joining the lineup in midseason. But the biggest change to the network is that Supergirl is moving from parent network CBS to bring the number of the CW’s DC Comics-based series to four. Despite a Supergirl–Flash crossover this season, CW President Mark Pedowitz claims that event was more about corporate synergy than foreshadowing. “The ball [to move Supergirl] got rolling a week and a half ago. This is a good thing for the […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 44 recap: Happily Never After?
It’s the Season 2 finale of Jane the Virgin and that means it’s finally time for Jane’s wedding! Let the adventure begin! Another huge milestone in this episode: Mateo finally takes his first few steps. How convenient that he learned how to walk just in time for his mom’s wedding. Michael’s back on the force. I guess his discovery of Rafael’s mom being tied up had something to do with that. In the end, I’m glad that he’s back to his job and doing what he loves. Remember when Xo slept with Rogelio’s No. 1 enemy last week? Yeah, well Esteban wanted […]

Supergirl Renewed, Will Be Flying Over to The CW for Season 2
Fans of CBS’ excellent new series Supergirl were a bit concerned in recent weeks as talks of renewing the show went on. And questions arose even beyond whether it would return: Would it change networks? Would its budget be substantially cut? At least some of those questions were answered yesterday when it was widely reported that Supergirl will indeed return. And yes, it will be changing networks, moving to the The CW. It is also moving its production from Los Angeles to Vancouver, likely to save costs. And that was one thing about Supergirl that made it so appealing, aside from its excellent cast (particularly the lead, […]

Wait: They Cancelled That?!? TV Networks Swing The Axe
Spring is a difficult time for actors on a bubble TV show. They must live with great trepidation as network executives decide between series renewal, changes or cancellation. And the latest round of series announcements include the axing of well-loved favorites. On the upside, networks are about to announce their new fall programming slates, so we can salve the sting of cancelled faves with the hope of series yet to come. Latest Cancellations: Telenovela- NBC Ay, Dios Mio!! This Eva Longoria-starrer was hilarious and should have pulled a much larger audience. But there are so many TV offerings, that I guess that […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 43 recap: Happy Birthday, Mateo!
With Jane’s wedding just two weeks away and Mateo’s birthday party celebration coming up, too, there’s a lot to plan on this week’s episode of Jane the Virgin. Hopefully Mateo’s party will keep everyone sane instead of worrying about things like Derek and Mutter. Jane finally wedding planning under control, and Rogelio was able to get the new location on his set. But it doesn’t last. The cast of Tiago feels they are working too many hours, for too little pay. What does this mean? A strike, of course! Now Jane has to try to have the wedding earlier than planned. Rogelio knows […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 42 recap: Mother’s Day
This week on Jane the Virgin, Jane is thrilled to be spending her first Mother’s Day as a mom. Instead of carrying on the tradition of watching a telenovela with the other Villanueva women, Jane has new plans this year. Petra is hosting a Mother’s Day brunch and has invited Jane’s whole family, despite them not wanting to go. Looks like Jane is the only one appreciating Petra’s nice gesture. Unfortunately, word got out about Anezka’s little stunt and now Jane’s college officials want answers. Jane swears she didn’t write the ad for writing college essays for money and surprisingly, her […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 41 recap: You’re Fired!
We take a trip back to the roaring twenties on this episode of Jane the Virgin. Things aren’t looking too good for Michael. His face is plastered on the front of the newspaper, along with being called corrupt. Some source says his connection with the Solano family comprised the entire investigation against Sin Rostro and Mutter. Rafael is also in trouble with the release of this news story. Whoever wrote it found out about Derek’s boat and now Derek wants answers about how this person knows this information. too. Rafael was the only person he spoke to about his boat […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 40 recap: Who’s Your Dada?
After last week’s episode of Jane the Virgin, Xo and Jane aren’t exactly on speaking terms. In fact, it seems that these two are at war. Neither will apologize and that stubbornness is going to keep them apart. Lucky for Jane, she has a salsa dancing character to create for her new novel to keep her busy. I can already tell this is going to be a dramatic, colorful episode, and I love it! If you recall, Rogelio made the kind gesture of building the Villanueva house on set for Jane to keep her dream wedding alive. Sadly, the network […]

Recap: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season Finale: Paula Needs to Get Over Josh!
Recap – Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season Finale (season 1): “Paula Needs to Get Over Josh!” – The CW, original airdate Mon. 4/18/16 (For all Crazy Ex recaps, click here.) The Crazy Ex-Girlfriend season finale has me a little bit shocked, though I guess I really don’t know how else things could have possibly turned out. I’m Team Greg (and, based on what I see on social media, I’m in the minority); I can be a bit snarky, and a bit jaded, just like him. Snarky and jaded as I may be, though, I still love this show (and am excited for […]
