October 2, 2015 Lori Acken 1

“People always want to know what it’s like to be a Jackson,” laments Tito Joe “TJ” Jackson, youngest son of The Jackson 5 favorite Tito Jackson and one of the stars of Lifetime’s new The Jacksons: Next Generation at the start of tonight’s series’ premiere. “I don’t know how to answer that, because I was never not a Jackson.” The Jacksons: Next Generation isn’t the first time we’ve seen members of pop music’s First Family on an unscripted series since Michael died in 2009. Lifetime’s sister network A&E debuted the short-lived The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty later that year and TJ’s aunt La Toya had some success with […]

Preview Clip From Naked And Afraid Season Premiere

October 2, 2015 Kellie Freeze 1

Naked and Afraid returns Sunday at 10pm ET/9pm CT, and in the season premiere “Forsaken,” Panamanian survivalists Gary and Kim have very different beliefs when it comes to cuddle time. Check out the clip below! So what do you think? Is Gary a selfish prude who wants to keep his tummy-furnace to himself, or is Kim’s request asking too much of her conservative Christian partner? I’m totally #teamCuddle, and I hope Kim can win Gary over with a fanny-to-fanny compromise. Kim also should look into heating up rocks into the fire and placing them near her body at night-night time. […]

October 2, 2015 Lori Acken Comments Off

Though August’s The Unauthorized Full House Story drew only tepid ratings as Full House fans eagerly await a more genial return to clan Tanner in Netflix’s upcoming Fuller House, Lifetime has given two popular ’90s nighttime soaps the same kitschy teleflick treatment. The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 Story and The Unauthorized Melrose Place Story bow on back-t0-back Saturdays this month and feature The Simpsons‘ Dan Castellaneta as uber-producer Aaron Spelling (see below). According to the network, The Unauthorized Beverly Hills, 90210 Story “will show the roller-coaster ride of the program’s first four seasons, highlighting the drama between cast members and producers both on and off […]

The Walking Dead — Who’s Friend, Who’s Foe In (And Out Of) Alexandria In Season 6?

October 1, 2015 Lori Acken 1

The wait is almost over, Walking Dead-heads. And when we left the residents of Alexandria, upheaval was the order of the day. As Rick and Deanna continued to circle each other for control (and the moral mindset) of the community, loose cannon Dr. Pete slit the throat of Deanna’s docile husband and Rick shot him dead on the spot. Right in front of the newly arrived (and newly zen) Morgan, who showed up with Daryl and Aaron, all three having made chilling discoveries outside the gate. Executive producer and zombie master Greg Nicotero promises a Season 6 opener of The […]

October 1, 2015 Lori Acken Comments Off

The Leftovers Season 2 premieres Sunday, Oct. 4 at 9/8CT on HBO. As Regina King waited to find out if John Ridley’s brilliant ABC anthology American Crime — which scored the actress her first Emmy — would be renewed, she received a script from a pair of equally compelling storytellers. Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta hoped King would take a lead role in Season 2 of their family-centric HBO spine-tingler The Leftovers, which will further expand the story culled from Perrotta’s best-selling book. “I sat down and talked to them and they’re just so smart — and they want their actors […]

American Horror Story: Hotel — who is new, who is back and who plays whom in Season 5

September 30, 2015 Lori Acken Comments Off

When Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk bring American Horror Story back for its fifth season — fittingly subtitled Hotel — look for the FX hit to boast another bold new look, but a feel that revisits the first season of the most-watched franchise in the network’s 21-year history. “True horror fans loved the first season because it really is a very psychological season and it plays with a lot of very familiar tropes,” Murphy explains. “The season we’re doing this year harkens back to the first season, which is much more rooted in honest, primal fears.” AHS — which has […]
