Fox’s new comedy ‘Ghosted’ mashes up bits of ‘Men in Black’, ‘Ghostbusters’, various 1980s buddy-cop action movies and other obvious influences, and then largely shoves them to the background so that its two stars can riff off eac...
That Fox’s TV spinoff of ‘The Exorcist’ turned out to be pretty good was a major surprise last year. That the show got renewed for a second season despite poor ratings was an even bigger surprise. Can the series continue to bring ...
It looks like Batman is finally beginning on ‘Gotham’. The fourth season opens with both a schedule change to Thursday nights and a story arc none-too-subtly titled ‘A Dark Knight’. The question left unanswered is how long the sho...
Seth MacFarlane’s new live-action sci-fi series ‘The Orville’ gets just about everything right to look and even sound like a spot-on ‘Star Trek’ spoof. Inexplicably, the creator of ‘Family Guy’ then completely forgot to add in the...
‘Gotham’ has worn me down. I’m exhausted by it. Frankly, I found a lot of this season a slog to get through. When I sat down this week to watch the season finale, I was both relieved that I’ll be getting a break from the show, and...

After seemingly setting up The Riddler to be the narrative driving force for the rest of the reason, the very next episode of ‘Gotham’ ignores him completely. Instead, we get an hour devoted to the Court of Owls. Does anyone reall...
Does ‘Gotham’ really have more episodes this season? I suppose I knew that, but the show is so overstuffed that it already felt like three seasons crammed into one. The return from its latest break brings a new story arc called ‘H...
Based on the ads, I can’t say that I expected Fox’s new sci-fi-ish cop drama ‘A.P.B.’ to be particularly good. What I didn’t realize is just how revolted I’d be by the show within the first ten minutes.
