HOLLYWOOD—I will admit I am pleasantly pleased to see John McCook front-and-center on the CBS soap, “The Bold and the Beautiful.” I mean he started the soap with Katherine Kelly-Lang back in 1987, they are indeed the face of the soap and him not having a burner of a storyline for years was quite disappointing to say the least....

HOLLYWOOD—I expected this to transpire a while ago, but I never really thought the writers of the CBS soap “The Bold and the Beautiful” would take this route. For starters, Liam Spencer, the goody too shoes has crossed over to the dark side, and Bill Spencer is out for blood and not in the best way America. All this...

HOLLYWOOD—When it comes to revivals, no series has upped the ante compared to TNT’s newly revamped model of the 1980s soap classic “Dallas.”  The first season was a must-see guilty pleasure with the return of famous faces like Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Larry Hagman. I will admit Hagman was the true star of the series with such infamous dialogue....

HOLLYWOOD—The elusive “A” was out for blood in episode two ‘Turn of the Shoe.’  The episode opened with the girls discussing the elusive woman dressed in black.  Spencer (Troian Bellisario) ignored questions about her missing sister Melissa (Torrey DeVitto) who could be the woman dressed in black, as she used French fries as a way to devise how ‘Red...

HOLLYWOOD—Last season I became an avid fan of The CW superhero hit “The Flash.” Yes, it’s difficult to find a series that matches the wits and narrative aspect that “Smallville” once held, but “The Flash” has done a magnificent job at meshing unique characters, narrative and emotion into a compelling action-drama. Season two of the series picked up a few...

HOLLYWOOD—The things on television nowadays are quite interesting to say the least. I recently stumbled upon a reality phenomenon on the Discovery Channel known as “Naked and Afraid.” It kind of got my attention fairly quickly and before you know it I had already watched three to four episodes without even blinking. The entire time I’m watching this reality show,...

HOLLYWOOD—I have been a massive fan, and I don’t utilize the word ‘superfan’ because I don’t like when it comes to the CBS reality competition series “Big Brother.” I have been watching religiously since its premiere in 2000. Some seasons I watched in its entirety, others not so much. I’m looking at you BB4, BB9, BB12, BB15, BB16 to...

HOLLYWOOD—Fractures are happening people in the “Big Brother 23” home. After a first week that was chaotic thanks to Frenchie, the second week saw that HOH get the boot. Yup, Frenchie was evicted by a vote of 11-1 with Derek F being the sole vote for his pal. Xavier is the new HOH! He didn’t look like he wanted...

HOLLYWOOD─Last week’s episode of Tyler Perry’s “If Loving You is Wrong” certainly stirred the drama pot, while things only heated with the latest episode, ‘Contraband.’ Picking up where things left off, Alex was in utter shock that she slept with Ian, as he pleaded his case that he did not drug or rape her. Alex wanted to escape, which...

HOLLYWOOD—When was the last time you watched a series about a bunch of super-intelligent people doing really important things for the greater sake of good? Probably not in a long time, but “Scorpion” is that new show. The series revolves around a group of super geniuses who find themselves recruited by Agent Cabe Gallo (Robert Patrick) from the U.S....
