Cheers & Jeers for ‘Supernatural’ (Yay!), a ‘Supergirl’ Slight (Nay!) and Piers Morgan (Bey?!)
Cheers to The Goldbergs for giving us more
“The 80s Rewind” episode that aired this week gave the hilarious cast a chance to discuss playing show creator Adam Goldberg’s real-life family and gave us non-stop smiles, courtesy of bloopers and behind-the-scenes. Now if only the Emmy voters would do everyone the courtesy of giving this delicious sitcom some damn attention!

Cheers to Supernatural for aging so well
There really is something scary about how fun it is to watch Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. Deep into their 11th season, their Winchester brothers are still capable of scaring up a heady blend of chills and giggles, which definitely helped ease some of the eeriness of their recent hunt for creatures preying on a Colorado town.
Supernatural
Cheers to Marie Avgeropoulos for giving 100 percent
This tiny spitfire has always been a force of nature, going all the way back to when her Octavia Blake could have become just “the bad girl” of the sci-fi drama’s Earth-bound juvies. But this season, she has truly rocked our world with a riveting, emotionally raw performance as Octavia has dealt with her brother Bellamy’s deadly deceptions and beau Lincoln’s murder.
Avgeropoulos is keeping it 100

Jeers to a real Live! mess
Now that Kelly Ripa has gotten her apology from Disney and the GMA-bound Michael Strahan has secured an early exit, all we see are two foes smiling like their lives depend on convincing us they’re happy to be hosting together again.
Behind those smiles, we can hear the screams.

Jeers to Piers Morgan for choking on “Lemonade”
Thirsty for attention much? The last person to call out Beyonce’s visual album as the work of “a born-again black woman with a political mission” is a British white guy who’s greatest struggles have been Celebrity Apprentice tasks, phone-hacking scandals and never being as relevant as he think he is.
One is the Queen. The other, a jester.
Jeers to CBS for holding out on our heroine
You know, as powerful as she is, Supergirl is not going to renew herself. Get to it, people!
“Who do I have to save around here to get a second season?!”

I'm happy to see The Goldbergs get some recognition. It and The Middle deserve more attention from the Emmys and other awards than they get. I'm not a huge fan of comedies, but I never miss those two along with Big Bang and now The Real O'Neals.

Supergirl (and other programs) I am sure, has some fans, even die hard fans, losing interest because of changes that are shoved down our throats. All of a sudden there is this great need to make interracial relations, gay pairing etc. the main characters, even changing those characters (which have been loved as is/was) which have been stereotyped for over fifty years. Give it a rest before you ruin our idols and destroy the desire to watch. And no I am not raciest, but I am a realist.

You understand, right, that the miniscule audience that has actually read a Supergirl comic is hardly enough to keep the show going? So the "changes that are shoved down our throats" argument is not relevant. You can be part of the why-make-characters-appealing-to-a-diverse-audience if you want to, but all of these changes are about the fact that appealing people like you who don't want to reflect the 21st century won't preserve the comic book industry. Forgive me if I don't buy your claim that you're not discriminatory.

My 10 year-old agrees completely with the Jeer about Supergirl. She's already annoyed enough that the the season finale has aired and, best case scenario, there won't be a new episode for several months. She's going to be livid if the show doesn't come back at all.

I'm not a fan of the show, but I thought its ratings were good enough that it was certain to be renewed. Maybe they're just trying to decide how many episodes to order for the next season.
-
B
I hope it's just a logistical thing like that. I wasn't a fan of the show at first either, but my daughter loving it kept me watching. I thought it improved greatly over the course of the season. There are still a couple of things that bug me about it, but overall, it's a fun show.
-
C
I don't like her, so no matter where the show goes, I'm not going to like it. I didn't even watch when one of my favorites, The Flash, dropped in for a visit.
-
B
Did Glee ruin her for you? I gave up on Glee long before her character appeared, so i hadn't seen her in anything before Supergirl. I think she's a good fit for the way the role's written.
-
C
No. I only watched the first 2 or 3 seasons of Glee, so I didn't even know she'd been on it. I didn't care for her in the previews of Supergirl, and I didn't care for her personality when I saw her on talk shows. Some people just rub you the wrong way for no particular reason other than they just do.
-
B
Yeah, I get that. I've always found it hard to tolerate Nicolas Cage and Bill Murray. No idea why, especially with regard to Murray. Everyone I know loves him. I just find him irksome.
-
B
Its because they have not renewed any freshman yet. And Full season of 22-24 ep should be a no brainer
-
C
Well, I'm not much of a fan of Murray. I can tolerate him in some things, and that's about it. I do like Cage as an actor, but I don't think much of him personally.
-
B
The only thing I've ever seen Cage in where I thought he was a decent actor was Leaving Las Vegas. Those withdrawal shakes he feigned were impressive. He deserved that Oscar for that. Everything else? Dear God, does he chew the scenery. I was horrified when Tim Burton was talking about casting him as Superman. And, having seen the documentary The Death of "Superman Lives," I'm even more certain that he would have been just awful (although he thought he and the movie would have been genius based on his comments about it).

C
Are you the only woman on earth who doesn't like Moonstruck? 😉
-
B
Oh no. I love Moonstruck. A friend of mine made me watch it when we were young. She declared she had seen it awhile back and the Cher character was "just like" me. She told me that whatever man was crazy enough to propose to me would be met with the same annoyance and demand for the traditional that Cher showed her fiance. (My husband was apparently aware of my quirks and managed to get it mostly right. I didn't feel the need to bark any corrections at him at least. 🙂 ) Olympia Dukakis's performance in it is genius. I routinely tell people who claim they're in love, "that's too bad" because of her. Cage was just awful in it though. It's like they spliced in him from a totally different movie. Every time he comes on screen, I cringe and do my best to focus on the other characters. If I didn't adore Cher, I'm not sure I would have made it through that movie. 🙂

Point invalid: Limitless was renewed.
-
O
They already have extended it with episodes and they have not come out yet....so as far as I know Supergirl is not done yet and there have been rumors that melissa may appear on The Flash possibly as Earth-Two's Power Girl which is still Kara-L or Earth-two's version of Supergirl.
-
C
I don't know about that. According to an article in Variety this week, it hasn't been renewed yet. Other sources I've seen are saying the same.
-
C
According to IMDb and other sources, they made 20 episodes and aired the last one last week.
-
B
No it wasn't so what are you talking about
-
B
Where did you see the news about them ordering additional episodes? I haven't seen anything about it and the quick search I did only found articles from November saying that the show was given a full 20 episode order.
-
C
Maybe he heard it from the guy who claimed Limitless was renewed. 😉
1
-
B
Lol...of course! Certainly a reliable source. 🙂
-
B
TV Guide.com says it has been renewed, the showrunner, Craig Sweeny, said in an interview he was sure it would be renewed and CBS executives have spoken unofficially that it will return.
-
C
But no matter who says what, it hasn't been officially renewed until they officially announce it. There has to be a reason why they postponed announcements about this year's new shows, and it sounds like it's because they're still deciding if they want to renew them or not.

How very unprofessional is Ms. Ripa? Wow - like a teenage temper tantrum. No pro there.

I think she has a right to be mad at the studio and use the leverage she has. The decision was made without telling Ripa until minutes before it became public.
This from another article: "The show format is utterly dependent on the chemistry between Ripa and her co-host, so much so that it took 10 months of try-outs to put Strahan in the slot four years ago.
Ripa’s looking down the barrel of months of carrying the show opposite a parade of lovely but inexperienced co-hosts whom she’ll have to guide. Her job just got a lot harder — though, let’s stipulate she’s no lineman — and her success thrown to chance, with the added public jab of being kept in the dark about her own show."
They are basically treating her as if she doesn't matter on her own show. They did the same thing to her when Regis left.

Thank you. I've said the same thing and people have either willfully misunderstood, or just jumped on me in quick and loyal defense of Ripa. I'm NOT saying she didn't have a right to be hurt or angry or whatever, and I AGREE she was treated poorly by the network. But come on, people.... you get paid millions to be on TV, you're supposedly a professional, so BE A PROFESSIONAL.

I think Maureen Ryan summed this one up best a week ago: "What I really want to know is, who thought it would be a good idea to ask Ripa to co-host with Strahan for months after the announcement — until he leaves for “GMA” in September, no less? Who thought she’d be up for that? It’s not difficult to understand why she was a no-show at “Live” today and yesterday (and for the next few days, she’ll be taking what ABC is calling previously scheduled time off).
I’m just trying to figure how that pitch to Ripa would have gone: 'Sure, Michael is leaving and we knew that and you didn’t, and you’ll have to help us search for and train his replacement, and we didn’t tell you any of this in advance — but won’t it be fun to continue to work with him?'
There are times I don’t understand what goes on in the minds of TV executives. This is one of those times."

I think that they should take the show to another network and stay together

Thanks for summing up Piers Morgan so well. What a miserable, arrogant man.

Thumbs up to by far the best series EVER on TV...Outlander! To those of you who haven't watched I implore you to do so.!!!!!!

B
Thank you Damian for giving Supernatural and its leading actors some well-deserved recognition. It is aging very well, and IMO, having its best season in years. Given that TVInsider hardly ever gives this show any ink. your mention is greatly appreciated...
-
G
The Goldbergs is a great well written and acted show the cast is awesome the way they feed off of each other my biggest surprise was that there is actually no daughter/sister in real life but that's ok because the one they wrote in and the actress who plays her are really great 🙂
-
C
Didn't they say there was actually another brother but thought a sister would be more interesting?
-
G
Yes they said there was a older brother but they went with a sister instead
-
-
O
Why does it seem so many have it out for Supergirl? I think this series is pretty damn good. It is as good as the Flash and Arrow. Is it because it is on CBS where the other two are on the CW? I just don't get it.
-
C
I don't think people have it out for the show. I don't care for it, but I also don't care one way or the other if it gets renewed or not.

It would be a shame to see Telenovela, Supergirl and Galavant canceled ! Three of the cleverest shows on TV !

C
Things aren't looking very good for Telenovela or Galavant, but you never know.
