Not that the first season didn’t have its silly excesses (remember the guy who tied people to balloons?), but it appears that the second season of ‘Gotham’ is unafraid to embrace a little of the campiness that, f...
ABC’s new mystery thriller/soap opera ‘Quantico’ may be one of the few primetime series on the network without Shonda Rhimes’ sticky fingers all over it, but given the results it might as well. The show pla...

The recent relaunch of the Muppet film franchise may have fizzled after just two movies, but a little setback like that can’t keep a good frog, pig or bear down. Jim Henson’s iconic felt creations return to television ...
