HBO's Veep stands as one of the defining political comedies of the modern era, deftly blending razor-sharp wit, cringe-inducing blunders, and a searing critique of Washington, D.C. Created by Armando Iannucci, Veep is a fast-paced, foul-mouthed satire that captures the relentless ambition and moral bankruptcy of modern politics. At the center of this chaotic storm is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, whose tour-de-force performance as Selina Meyer solidified her status as one of television’s greatest comedic talents. Across seven seasons, Veep not only remained consistently funny but evolved into a biting commentary on the absurdities of power, ambition, and ego. Season 1: The Vice Presidency Blues Veep wastes no time establishing its chaotic tone in Season 1, which introduces us to Selina Meyer (Louis-Dreyfus), the Vice President of the United States—a position that is, as she quickly discovers, largely ceremonial and without influence. Selina is surrounded by a motley crew of incompetent yet ...

"The West Wing," created by Aaron Sorkin and airing from 1999 to 2006, stands as one of the most critically acclaimed political dramas in television history. Set in the heart of the White House, the series offered a deeply immersive and at times idealistic look at the inner workings of American politics. With a strong ensemble cast led by Martin Sheen as President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet, the show was equal parts policy wonkery, personal drama, and inspiring rhetoric. It consistently balanced complex storylines with engaging characters, solidifying its place in the pantheon of great television. Across its seven-season run, "The West Wing" oscillated between moments of brilliance and occasional stumbles, largely following the trajectory of Sorkin’s involvement. From sweeping social issues to the personal dilemmas faced by the staffers in the West Wing, the series remained politically resonant, even prescient. Below is a closer look at each season, charting the...

When Friends premiered on September 22, 1994, few could have predicted the cultural phenomenon it would become.

  Today my guest is Jayson Crothers. I had Jayson on the show to discuss his work on the hit Freeform series Cruel Summer. The show is told over three summers in the 1990s and is about a girl who goes missing and another who  mysteriously takes over her life. We also discuss our shared love of Battlestar Galactica and Jayson convinces me to take the plunge on 300+ episodes of Supernatural…. Well dip my toes in at the very least.  We had some technical issues the first time we recorded so you will notice an abrupt ending in the first half of our conversation. I could have spliced the two pieces together and made the episode feel like it all took place at once but there were about 4 days in  between the two halves that had a slightly different feel. I’d prefer to expose the warts and put out a more honest representation of our conversations. Or I’m lazy and all the “honesty” nonsense is a way to justify my hatred of the editing process. And yet another reason I’d make ...

Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, announced today that it has commissioned scripts for a full third season of Creepshow, showrun and executive produced by Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead) and based on George A. Romero’s iconic 1982 movie. The anthology series shattered all Shudder records when it debuted last October, and its first season has just concluded a successful run on AMC. The second season was set to commence shooting in March in Atlanta, Georgia, but has been on hold until film and television production resumes. “Creepshow continues to be near and dear to my heart and having the opportunity to continue the legacy by developing season 3 gives me the chance to work with some of the best storytellers and artists in the business. The stories we have in the pipeline for season 2 are even more outrageous, more fun and capture the spirit of what George Romero and Stephen King started in the ‘80s,” said showrunner Gre...

The 18 disc Blu-ray set Mill Creek has released for THE SHIELD marks their finest work to date. Everything from the quality of packaging to the number of extras makes this set a must own for any fan of the controversial series. THE SHIELD follows Detective Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis - GOTHAM, FANTASTIC 4) and his corrupt cohorts who are tasked with ridding Los Angeles of its most violent criminals using any methods they deem necessary. From the first episode on, this crime drama was constantly calling into question its anti-heroes methods and taking an uncomfortable look at our criminal justice system. By creating complex characters on both sides of the law, show creator Shawn Ryan (S.W.A.T., TIMELESS, THE UNIT) dissolved the thin blue line over the course of his series 7 seasons. Full 4k HD restorations of each episode, along with dozens of hours of special features including deleted scenes, commentaries from the cast and crew, and tons of featurettes made it impos...

Much like NEWS RADIO , ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT , and GET A LIFE , Dan Harmon's COMMUNITY was a trailblazing sitcom with a vocal fanbase. "Six seasons and a movie" became a rallying cry for the Browncoats of Greendale Community College. These dedicated viewers managed to keep COMMUNITY on the air for several years after rumors of cancellation began to surface. In fact, rumors of the show's demise began to circulate before the first season had even finished airing. After the second season  COMMUNITY  was regularly on critics "best of" and "underrated" lists but the show never crossed over as a mainstream hit. Not to throw shade, but when shows like BIG BANG THEORY are cultural mammoths it's no wonder quality stuff slips through the cracks. We as audience members demand lowest common denominator drivel, shying away from innovative and challenging entertainment. COMMUNITY was self-referential and meta before those were common tropes in telev...
