Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak (Image: The Maurice Sendak Foundation)
While we'll readily admit that we tend to run hot/cold when it comes to Apple TV+'s "big kids" programming (The Morning Show, See, Servant, and more), we've also made no bones about the fact that the streaming service has done impressively well when it comes to its children's line-up Apple TV+ has brought aboard Sesame[...]
A new image of the Batmobile from The Batman as shared by director Matt Reeves.
Pipski looks forward to working with Reeves, Kassan, and Crohn: "Matt has been making some of my favorite movies and TV shows since I was addicted to 'Felicity,' and it's a thrill to get to be part of his great team alongside Rafi and Adam, building up his TV company with our partners at WBTV." Expected[...]
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 5, Episode 5 (Image: VH1).
India immediately goes on the defensive (seeing as she's consistently the weakest queen) and tells Shea that Alexis was campaigning to send her home and she's shady and Alexis deserves to go home for that. And it is at this is the point in the program where I screamed at the TV and woke up my[...]
Scrubs, 30 Rock: Use Disclaimers, Not Removal of Blackface Episodes
Instead of arbitrarily deciding what is acceptable to viewers, let them decide and even better? Have a mechanism in place so that they can learn why the depictions are so wrong. Since TV adopted its rating system with added symbols disclaiming the type of potentially objectionable content, viewers already get an idea of what a program[...]
WARRIOR NUN (L to R) KRISTINA TONTERI-YOUNG as SISTER BEATRICE, TRISTÁN ULLOA as FATHER VINCENT, ALBA BAPTISTA as AVA, TOYA TURNER as SHOTGUN MARY, OLIVIA DELCÁN as SISTER CAMILA in EPISODE 9 of WARRIOR NUN. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix/NETFLIX © 2020
What little wit there was in Ava's voiceover drops away as she agonizes in typical "TV and Comic Book 101" manner about how "terrible" everything is. The various factions who are after her for her powers just bicker and plot endlessly around each other while Ava's neither a warrior nor a nun- hardly any demons even[...]
Chrissy's Court on Quibi
Can I watch this on my TV like a normal human being, please? No No, I may not And this wasn't just a simple delay, like how I couldn't download HBO Max on my Roku just yet, but it was on its way No Quibi would not be coming to my TV anytime soon It's[...]

Welcome to BCTV Sunday Slices, our little slice of weekly heaven where I look back at Bleeding Cool's television (BCTV) coverage from the past week to bestow some incredibly not objective, totally opinionated wisdom on what has become of the television landscape The week leading into a July 4th weekend tends to be a bit[...]
A look at series finales for Breaking Bad, Dexter, and more (Images: AMC/ViacomCBS).
Much to the chagrin of friends I've debated in the past (and with the understanding that this was in no way, shape, or form run by the rest of the BCTV team), I get to use my lofty title as "Television Editor" to throw out some lofty proclamations on the series-enders for Six Feet Under,[...]

What if I was the showrunner of Doctor Who? That's the question our TV editor Ray Flook dared us to toy with This is a thought exercise We all watch our favorite shows and play fantasy football with the casting, the storylines, the plots, the ideas That's what fandom entails Everyone has their perfect, Platonic[...]
Dominique Jackson in POSE Season 2.
Other legendary houses (Dupree, Extravaganza, and Ebony) were created around this time and it grew into the underground counter-culture for those on the fringes of society with no one else to turn to. So how did the ballroom culture become so mainstream and finding itself in everything from Madonna videos to Emmy-winning TV series, with even[...]
