Quick Take: HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER on ABC

Tonight, Shondaland takes over ABC when GREY’S moves to 8/7c, SCANDAL takes up residence at 9/8c, and HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER (written by Peter Nowalk) joins the line up at 10/9c.  Viola Davis stars as Annalise Keating, brilliant professor of law, with a specialty in defense, who teaches a class “lovingly” referred to as “How to Get Away with Murder.” What follows throughout the hour is a bunch of law students trying to one up each other while

DVD Review: BONES Season 9 “Till Death Do Us Part Edition”

BONES S9 was released on September 16 and the MToT has spent time catching up with the gang. Check out our quick thoughts: What’s on the back: TV’s most anticipated wedding day has arrived!  And since dealing with death is a part of their jobs, it probably won’t part FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) and quirky forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan – aka Bones (Emily Deschanel).  But Bones and Booth must still address serial killer Christopher Pelant’s threat to

Quick Take: THE MIDDLE is basically perfection

THE MIDDLE is back for their 6th season premiere tonight (8/7c) and I feel like I’ve been counting down the minutes.  The show about the every day struggles of a family living in Middle America has been a favorite since day one, and tonight’s episode is no different – Frankie screws up dates, and Sue and Brick are forced to make an awkward first impression at school, while Mike and Axl fight it out repeatedly on the basketball court. Oh

Previewing BLACK-ISH with star Yara Shahidi

Tonight on ABC, an all new family is welcomed to Wednesday nights when BLACK-ISH premieres at 9:30/8:30c.  Anthony Anderson and Tracee Ellis Ross star as Dre and Rainbow, well-off parents of Zoey, Junior, Jack, and Diane.  When Dre realizes that his family has started to lose a grip on their family culture (as a family in general and as a family of color), he commits himself to changing things around. Yara Shahidi, who you may recognize as young Olivia Pope

My Take On…FOREVER on ABC

Tonight on ABC, catch the “sneak peek” of FOREVER, one of my top picks for the new season, before it moves to its home at 10/9c on Tuesday nights. Ioan Gruffudd plays Dr Henry Morgan, a NYC medical examiner who has died hundreds of deaths, yet none of them have stuck.  He uses his position in the morgue to examine death to try to figure out how or why exactly he is immortal, and in doing so, helps solve the

Comic Con 2014: Donal Logue previews GOTHAM and playing Harvey Bullock

At Comic Con 2014, I was a part of the round tables in the room for GOTHAM, which premieres tonight on FOX at 8/7c before the bonkers SLEEPY HOLLOW season 2 return! The show is a prequel of sorts to the Batman story we’re all fairly familiar with – this time, we focus on Commissioner James Gordon, back when he just got his Detective Shield, and his partner Harvey Bullock (played with relish by Donal Logue). Check out the above

Quick Take: SLEEPY HOLLOW S2 starts fast, doesn’t slow down

I sat down to watch SLEEPY HOLLOW’s second season premiere today, thinking I could multil-task, get other stuff done, maybe minimize the window and handle other things.  Boy, was I wrong!  From start to finish, the episode held my attention and I found myself not able to breathe, relax, and/or sit back in my chair as the action started at minute one and didn’t let up until the credits started rolling at the end. When we left the gang, Abbie
