As documented by Twitter user @Yotomoe1, intrepid explorer and Tiny Toons Adventures alum Plucky Duck has finally arrived across the vast distances of space and time to Happy World Land. Plucky and his co-voyager, Hamton J. Pig, first began their daunting excursion on March 20, 1992 (documented for future generations’…
Set in sunny 1950s Los Angeles, the horrors of Them lurk just beneath the surface: In the dark abyss of the basement, in the suspicious looks from neighbors, and even behind the wallpaper. Creator Little Marvin’s Them is an anthology series that “explores terror in America,” and its first season—dubbed Covenant—tells…
In the fourth episode of Breeders season two, titled “No Faith,” Paul and his daughter Ava (Eve Prenell) are on opposing sides of the spiritual spectrum. Paul, played by series co-creator Martin Freeman, lost his belief in God a while ago, but his 10-year-old is starting to discover hers. It’s not an uncommon…

As announced today in a press release, HBO Max has given a series order to Minx, a comedy series created by Ellen Rapoport and produced by Lionsgate and Paul Feig’s Feigco Entertainment. The series is about an “earnest young feminist” in ‘70s Los Angeles who teams up with a “low-rent publisher” to create the first…
Today is First Contact Day, or at least it will be in 42 years, making this the… pre-anniversary of the day in Star Trek canon when mankind first made contact with an alien race (specifically the Vulcans). Much like with Star Wars Day (May 4) and Alien Day (April 26), Paramount has noticed that there’s a lot of good…
April 17 marks 10 years since you first borrowed somebody’s HBO credentials (and/or logged on to some unscrupulous website) to see the first episode of Game Of Thrones, making it a full decade since the happy Stark children all got a cuddly wolf puppy to love, a decade since Sansa first glimpsed the adorable Joffrey…
Perhaps The Circle’s producers knew something we didn’t, because starting off 2020 with a show about people locked inside apartments only being able to communicate with each other virtually feels too on the nose for what happened after the reality competition debuted. Now that we’re a year into the COVID-19 pandemic…
It might not be summer, but it’s Family Reunion time again. As of today, the McKellans are back on Netflix, as Family Reunion’s third season launches on the streamer. This time around, the family is dealing with financial issues, school bullies, a potential return to the NFL for Moz, new romantic interests for Jade, ac…
We’ll always have a special place in our hearts for Selena (the movie), but Selena: The Series is a worthy re-examination of the life of the Tejano legend and pop icon, thanks in large part to Christian Serratos’ portrayal of the late singer. The Netflix series was split into two parts, with the first—which follows…
The new comedy Chad has been a long time coming. Created by and starring Nasim Pedrad, the show has been in development since 2016, and has moved networks from Fox to TBS. Pedrad has not only written and directed the show; she also takes on the challenge of playing the eponymous 14-year-old boy who legally changed his…
We’re only a couple of months away from Loki’s premiere on Disney+ and now we get a bigger glimpse at what’s to come. The teaser we saw in December featured Loki being arrested after stealing the Tesseract in Avengers: Endgame, with that theft causing a space-time anomaly. Loki is then taken to the Time Variance…

At times Jackie Rohr is almost a supernatural character, a wraith roaming the streets of Boston and capable of suddenly appearing anywhere and buttonholing people who would rather be talking to anyone else. That’s particularly true in “I Need A Goat,” which finds Jackie’s trail of sleaze spreading all over the city as…
When Shameless first introduced us to Phillip Gallagher, he was a genius. If Fiona was working to escape her mother’s fate by providing for her siblings like Monica failed to, then Lip’s story posited that he could be what Frank—whip smart, charismatic—could have been if not for the drugs and alcohol that sent him…
It’s been almost exactly five years to the day that Jeffrey Dean Morgan made his first appearance as Negan on The Walking Dead. For all the criticism that those early episodes with Negan and the Saviors subsequently received, there was always something compelling about Morgan’s portrayal of the character. Even with…
TV studios like to throw the words “remake,” “reboot,” “revival,” and “spin-off” around, with many of them having seemingly interchangeable definitions, but what, really, is the difference? The most straightforward interpretation would most likely be that a remake is a new version of an old thing, a reboot is a differe…
There comes a day in the life of every streaming service when it must cast off the comfort and ease of childhood and kill its first original series, preferably up close and personal, so it can learn the value of life by watching the light slowly fade from the eyes of a streaming series that didn’t do a good job…
“It was cool and it was funny, but it was wrong.”
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, April 4. All times are Eastern.
