If you think your favorite television characters have fun in front of the camera, then you haven't seen your favorite actors' lives behind it!  Instagram is for more than just duck-lipped selfies and fluffy dogs, it's also become a place for actors to offer an inside look into the controlled chaos that is making a television show and how badass it can be.  Most of your favorite shows are back on set, which means the countdown to the fall season has officially begun!

Tori Spelling shared this snap from the the set of BH90210, which premieres on August 7.  The reboot of the '90s hit will also boast sexy newcomers, including Denise Richards and Lala Anthony!

If you’ve spent more than five minutes on this blog or my Twitter feed, you know I’m not shy about sharing my opinions.  It’s a blessing and a curse for an entertainment critic, because while I don’t want to have an intense feeling about everything from the flower arrangements at the latest trainwreck of a housewives event, I guarantee you I could do a five-minute rant on them. 

But that’s not to be said that I don’t have a ton of questions either.  I’m plagued with just as many if not more.  Here are just a few of the burning questions and maybe some answers on my favorite TV shows like Jane The Virgin, Grey’s Anatomy, Black Lightning and more…

What does a visionary and uber-producer who has generated over $2 billion in profit after creating game-changing shows like Grey's Anatomy, Scandal and more do?  Any damn things she wants.  This week Shonda Rhimes, the world's greatest television producers, did just that by announcing that she is parting ways with ABC and to exclusively create new content for digital streamer, Netlfix, Variety.com reports.

The groundbreaking move from broadcast television to the streaming giant offers "unique creative freedom and instantaneous global reach," Rhimes said in a statement.

While I'm wondering how Ms. Rhimes will pack up her infinity pool of fans' tears and rollercoasters of feels, I'm also doing my happy dance!   Rhimes essentially has a blank slate at Netflix, which makes her the hottest ticket in Hollywood.  A fangirl's mind reels at the binging possibilities.  

However, fantastic shows need fabulous actors, so here are some wonderful actors and one show I've love to see make a pilgrimage to Shondaland...

From the passing of beloved celebrities like Prince, David Bowie, George Michael and most recently Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds to the surreal and possibly rigged election of the Evil Cheeto, 2016 has been one of the most trying and tragic years in recent memory.  They say truth is stranger than fiction, so it's fitting that this hurricane of crap has descended upon our favorite fictional characters, too. 

Whether, a particularly harrowing plot, bad writing or just plain old character neglect, here are 7 characters from Grey's Anatomy, This Is Us, Supernatural and more who deserve better in 2017...

If you think your favorite television characters have fun in front of the camera, then you haven't seen your favorite actors' lives behind it!  Instagram is for more than just duck-lipped selfies and food pics, it's also become a place for actors to offer an inside look into the controlled chaos that is making a television show and how badass it can be.  

On Thursday, Jensen Ackles tweeted picture to commemorate a big moment!  Supernatural, the show that struggled for years in the ratings, began production on its 250th episode the same day season 12 premiered. He writes, "Day 1 of episode 250. Here's to all those who helped make it happen. What a ride it has, and continues to be. Cheers... #spnfamily."

The doctor is in...and is having the last laugh.  

Actor and Black Lives Matter activist Jesse Williams returned to the set of Grey's Anatomy on Monday, and marked the occasion with an Instagram picture capturing his breathtaking hotness and a caption that gleefully mocked those so offended by powerful speech at the BET Awards that it had some campaigning for his termination.

Much to my joy and overwhelming sadness are literally thousands of televisions shows to watch, binge-watch or, if you appreciate fantastic actors playing despicable people, hate-watch. 

So with a varied and wonderful ocean of television, it’s nearly impossible for even the esteemed Television Academy to recognize all of the industry’s most talented for this year's Emmy nominations.  Snubs are bound to happen, and as devastating as it is, we just have remember that it really is an honor to be nominated. 

Here are 4 heartbreaking Emmy snubs...

Since I think of everything in terms of television, I could help but wonder about my favorite television papas. I've watched everything from the original Lassie (for you youngins, it's an old TV show about a beautiful collie that rescues an accidental prone little boy) to Empire.  Narrowing down a list of favorites is almost as hard as finding the perfect "Thank you for giving me life" present for my own stubborn father.    

Here are my 7 Favorite TV Fathers...

Season finales of your favorite shows are rapidly approaching, and they can be metaphorical hurricanes for your favorite ships.  The end of the season always courts heightened drama, screaming-inducing cliffhangers and swoon-worthy hook-ups.
 
​Let’s review the statuses of your favorite TV 'ships from Jane The Virgin, Grey’s Anatomy, The Flash and more before they’re docked for the summer.

It’s hard to believe it's almost time to check out of Grey’s Anatomy’s twelfth season, but at least it seems as if like this ending will be a romantic one. 

The aptly named “At Last” will feature not one but two proposals, and I’m sure quite a bit of drama, medical and otherwise. 

While it’s fairly obvious that Arizona and Callie won’t be planning a second walk down the aisle after their grueling custody battle last week, Stephanie Edwards (Jerrika Hinton) and her ex-boyfriend, Kyle (guest star Wilmer Valderrama), just might be, according to the last sneak peek of the season! 

Stephanie committed one of the worst break-ups in history by dumping her chronically ill boyfriend via note while he was still unconscious after brain surgery.  And yet in this exclusive clip of Thursday’s finale, the couple fantasizes about touring in Europe (The outcome probably depends on if Shondaland's first comedy, Toast, starring Hinton, is picked up next season).  “It’s kind of deep with you.  Don’t say these things if you don’t mean them,” he warns. Kyle apparently forgives quickly but he doesn’t forget. 
​
Watch the clip below!  Find out if Stephanie runs away to become Dr. Groupie and if Owen and Amelia, Jackson and April and/or Alex and Jo are also bitten by the love bug on Grey’s Anatomy’s on ABC at 7/8c on Thursday!
