Yes indeed, the mist enveloping Bridgton is plenty dangerous. The Mist enveloping your television may be less so. But it’s still not a place I’d like to go.

Katherine Heigl plays a plucky, flawed CIA’er tasked with briefing the POTUS on the state of world affairs. And speaking of affairs, you might say she also carries on a few of her own.

While it’s certainly not the worst thing on television, it is a show that shamelessly shoots low.

Like the title says, there are little ponies, there is friendship and there is magic. And that charmed combination has helped make this Hub Network series one of pop culture’s most unexpected success stories.

Kevin Can Wait may be the kind of show some of us have been waiting for.

Be wary of Fido. Step lightly around Snowball. You can’t even trust your goldfish these days. For the animals, it’s payback time.

Fox has turned a pretty unique movie into a pretty predictable TV show.

The moms don’t dance here. No, they’re too busy fighting with dance instructor Abby Lee and squabbling with one another over whose kid is the best.

Will Arnett’s aging parents get divorced. Funny, right? (CBS wants to know if it helps at all that Beau Bridges plays the dad.)

Daredevil, for all his flaws, seeks to follow a higher calling. The only calling the Punisher hears is the screams of his victims.

This Gray’s Anatomy meets Star Trek CBS medical drama falls somewhat short of its name.

Some of this show’s problems have, perhaps not too surprisingly, gotten worse with its move to Netflix.

The Jim Gaffigan Show manages to be both relatively clean and relatively clever—as insightful as Louie can be, but without that show’s raunch.

Ironic, isn’t it, that a show named ‘Without a Trace’ never seems to disappear?

NatGeo tries to keep Mars within a pretty family-friendly solar system, if not exactly in Plugged In’s orbit.
