September 1, 2015 StayTuned Staff

The entire staff gathered together and argued out the merits of this season’s new broadcast series to compile our top 10 best fall TV shows of 2015 (we held off on midseason, as our list would have been far too long).

Savage plays a small-time Boise lawyer, while Lowe plays a high-octane, big-time attorney … on TV. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (The CW) Who wouldn’t give up life in NYC for hip West Covina, Calif.?!? Series creator and star Rachel Bloom’s fantastically irreverent […]

August 11, 2015 Jeff Pfeiffer

At The CW’s executive session at the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour today, the network announced that Matt Ryan, late of NBC’s Constantine, will be reprising his role of John Constantine in a one-shot episode of Arrow (the fifth episode of the hit show’s upcoming fourth season, called “Haunted”). Both Constantine and Green Arrow are DC properties (Constantine from the book Hellblazer), and this crossover should give some amount of satisfaction to the fans who were dismayed when NBC pulled the plug on Constantine. Also of note, The CW is developing a series based on the hit romantic film The Notebook, with the input of […]

May 4, 2015 StayTuned Staff

There’s only one more episode before the season one finale of Jane the Virgin and I’m not sure how I’m going to be able to handle Mondays without it. Either way, I’m going to make sure to enjoy these last two episodes of the show since I know they’re going to be filled with lots of drama. Just how I like it! Jane’s known for planning everything out in her life so there are no surprises. That’s why when something as crazy and unplanned as becoming a pregnant virgin popped up into her life, she didn’t exactly know where to […]

April 16, 2015 Lori Acken

A strange occurrence in the New Mexico desert stops the hearts of five strangers, then resurrects them again — as Earth-bound angels. Not the white-robed, harp-toting kind.

Meet The CW’s The Messengers. “If Close Encounters and The Stand […]

Jane the Virgin Chapter 18 Recap: Monster-in-Law

April 13, 2015 StayTuned Staff

On Chapter 18 of Jane the Virgin, Rafael still doesn’t seem to be putting Jane before his hotel, leaving her supported only by a wall at a birthing class. Jane doesn’t need to talk negatively about Rafael to her mother to only further prove Xo is right about Rafael being the wrong guy for Jane. Instead Jane turns to Andie to vent, which might not have been the very best decision. Jane tells Andie the huge doubts she’s been having about Rafael and Andie’s advice is to stay calm because it’s only hormones that are making her feel this way. Yeah, I’m […]
