Comedy Central introduces new late night host

By Greg Gottfried · Wednesday, Feb. 4,2015 7:13 p.m.

'The Nightly Show' Grade: A- It’s not possible to talk about “The Nightly Show” without bringing up “The Colbert Report”. What started as a simple field reporting segment on the comedy news program “The Daily Show” became a cultural phenomenon and one of the most consistently funny shows on television. However, times change and as Stephen Colbert prepares to take over Letterman’s Seat on the “Late Show”, there was a spot to be filled at 11:30 Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central. The successor is Larry Wilmore and the show is “The Nightly Show”. From the first episode, Wilmore has attempted to distance himself from his predecessor and create a new show in the 11:30 slot. Whether it is the placement of the graphics in the bottom left corner or the introduction of a panel, “The Nightly Show” has separated itself from “The Daily Show” and “The Colbert Report”. The panel is actually one of the most interesting segments of the show.

Spader enthralls audience in return of 'The Blacklist'

By Nicole Krasean · Wednesday, Feb. 4,2015 7:12 p.m.

‘The Blacklist’ Grade: A-   It’s the perfect set-up for TV drama: take an attractive woman and put her in a damsel in distress situation. Couple it with her recurring daddy issues and an emotionally detached father figure and you’ve got the plot for Sunday’s mid-season premiere of The Blacklist. But what should be another crime drama that gets passed over while channel surfing has actually caught the attention of America.

New plotlines await 'Scandal'

By Allison Wagner · Wednesday, Feb. 4,2015 7:09 p.m.

‘Scandal’ Grade: ABC’s #TGIT was back and better than ever Thursday with the premiere of “Scandal.” After a long winter break filled with anticipation, show creator Shonda Rhimes delivered in the best way possible.  This wasn’t your typical episode where the underlying plot was Olivia Pope fleeting from Jake to Fitz and from Fitz to Jake.  Viewers were left off with Olivia finally choosing between President Fitz and Jake.  Just as she tells Jake she picks herself, she is abducted.  And the viewer is left with so many questions.  Who did it?  Was it her estranged and dangerous father?

NBC series says goodbye

By Allison Wagner · Wednesday, Feb. 4,2015 7:08 p.m.

‘Parenthood’ Grade:   By the time the opening title sequence began to sing its calming ode to love, tears flooded my eyes.  “May God Bless and Keep You Always.”  Those few poignant words, the lyrics to the theme song and episode title of the series finale, completely sum up what “Parenthood” is all about.  After six beautiful seasons about unconditional love and familial bonds, “Parenthood” has come to a close while the getting was still good.  “Parenthood” never defaulted into the cheesy show about a large family that loves every member.
