While most people spend the summer going to festivals and swimming, I’ve been backstroking in the entertainment-less abyss that is my showhole left by the hiatuses of my favorite regular season shows.  You know, the ones that weren’t cancelled.  RIP The Passage.

Thanks to premium channels and streaming services, there’s always new shows to discover.  So here’s how I spent my summer vacation: binge-watching a variety wonderfully weird, deliciously diverse, fantastic new television. Since there’s still a good three weeks before the new TV season gets into full-swing, I’ll share the best binges I’ve had this summer, excluding the food truck festival I went to in July...

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!  

Check out more photos from the sets of your favorite shows, including Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Supernatural and more!

Is 'Happy Together' Too Good For CBS?

12/3/2018

Despite loving my new day job, the only real reason why I am so excited for Mondays these days is because of CBS's new screwball sitcom, Happy Together. Damon Wayans Jr. and Amber Stevens West star as a homebody married couple, who take in Cooper James, a dashing Aussie popstar who needs a break from the fast life.  Admittedly the premise in ridiculous (and sitcom-gold), but Happy Together is effortlessly funny, surprisingly witty show where the stellar cast (includes Stephanie Weir and Victor James) takes turns stealing scenes from each other.  

Yet I wasn't shocked to learn the following: CBS has not ordered any additional episodes of Happy Together, and the series will mostly likely end with just a 13-episode run due to lackluster ratings (about 4 million with a .9 demo), THR.com reports.  This unfortunate news only solidifies my theory that some shows, like Fox’s short-live Pitch, are just too good for broadcast television. Shoot your shot, Netflix!

If you feel a chill and smell pumpkin spice in the air, it can only mean one thing: Fall TV is here!  And if you're anything like Small Screen Girl, you spent the summer lamenting about the surprise pregnancies, weddings, break-ups, potential murders, angelic possessions and more.  Finales put our favorite characters through the ringer, and premieres aren't that much kinder either.  

Here are 8 characters who deserve better in the 2018-2019 season.

I Have Questions: Team Bethenny Or Carole? Best Summer Show?  Did 'The Affair' Ruin Alison's End?

It’s an occupational hazard to have A LOT of opinions as an entertainment blogger.  You could mention a celebrity or a scandal, and it’s almost 100% probable that this Small Screen Girl has a clear, instantaneous and long-winded opinion about them (Beyonce:  Sell-your-soul-to-the-devil ICONIC.  James Gunn: There’s far more behind his jokes about child rape, and he should never work in Hollywood again.  His defenders are morons.).  But sometimes, even I need to sort things out.  Here are some burning questions I have about television...

Though most television shows have just began production, the stars and producers came armed with juicy tidbits and even new trailers.  Here are some of the most intriguing news and teasers for new and returning series, like The Flash, Supernatural, Star Trek Discovery and more...

'Pitch's' Kylie Bunbury Lands Knock-Out New Show

SSGers, did you know that I'm a little bit psychic? It's totally true.

I magically knew that the Hollywood Foreign Press wouldn't nominate Tiffany Haddish for her hilarious, grapefruit-abusing turn in Girls' Trip and would completely ignore Queen Sugar--one of the best shows on television (Word in the street is: they probably don't even watch them). And earlier this week, I was thinking "Why the fork hasn't Kylie Bunbury booked another TV show?"

Ask and you shall receive! (I wish Kim Zolciak-Biermann and her dusty wig would get booted for #RHOA!)

TVLine.com reports that Bunbury, lead in the woefully short-lived Pitch, has drafted to star in the ABC reboot of Get Christie Love.

Seven Actors And One Show Shonda Rhimes Should Take To Netflix

8/17/2017

1 Comment

 
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...

4 Ways To Make 'Supernatural's' Spin-Off Awesome

6/24/2017

Fans have successfully willed into existence a chance for another Supernatural spin-off starring fan favorite Kim Rhodes as sheriff and hunter Jody Mills.  

The aptly titled Wayward Sisters will kick-off as a backdoor pilot slated to air during Supernatural's 13th season, Deadline.com reports.  The show, hemmed by Supernatural EPs Andrew Dabb and Robert Singer, will follow the monster-hunting adventures of Jody Mills' foster family, which will presumably include Claire Novak (Kathryn Newton) and Alex Jones (Katherine Ramdeen).

Unlike the Rihanna-Nyong'o movie, which was inspired by a tweet and fans' passion, the primarily female fans of Supernatural have been championing for Wayward Sisters for several years, starting Twitter and t-shirt campaigns that even caught the attention of Rhodes and other guest stars like Briana Buckmaster.  

Admittedly, it'll be great to see the Supernatural mythology wielded by a mostly female cast, but the show has attempted this before with disastrous results.  Do y'all remember their disastrous first attempt called Supernatural: Bloodlines? I do. It was scary in all the wrong ways.  

In order for the second time to be a charm, Wayward Sisters should follow these simple steps:

Rainbow's bro & sis! @DaveedDiggs @RashidaJones □□‍♀️□□❤□□ #blackish

A post shared by Tracee Ellis Ross (@traceeellisross) on Mar 16, 2017 at 8:25am PDT

Something terrible is happening: networks are announcing the dates of their *gulp* season finales of all of our favorite shows.  How could we let this happen?!  What am I going to do in that endless, sweaty showhole normal folks call summer?!  

Thankfully, I've been through this before, and I know how to handle the post-TV season panic in a way that is more productive than chaining myself to that sculpture in the The CW's headquarter's lobby.  I just need to remind myself that that my Netflix and Bravo are still my entertainment lifesavers, and in mid-March, most shows are still in production.  Also, thanks to an ever-evolving television schedule, some shows are just beginning production.   

Earlier this week, EW.com reported that the one and only Angie Tribeca herself was guest-starring on ABC's black-ish as Rainbow's sister.  If you thought it was too good to be true, we know now have photographic proof!  In the snap above posted by star Tracee Ellis-Ross, Rashida Jones looks AMAHZING and this BTS shot features all of the Johnson siblings thus far, including Daveed Diggs' free spirit, Johan.

Try not to catch a nasty case of FOMO from these amazing behind-the-scenes Instagrams from Black-ish, Empire, The Flash and more...
