It hasn’t exactly been the best of times to be part of the Amazon  ecosystem of late.  They had practically no presence at any in awards season, few of their TV projects have turned up on any third party measurement lists, and Amazon Fresh outright flopped.  Don’t even try to get me started on THE

Another Friday, another media institution bites the dust.  This is getting to be a habit, and not in a good way. This time around the imminently deceased had reached a ripe old age but was nonetheless lamented as a premature death by what seemed like thousands of my collective social media followers in a matter

I’ve never quite grasped the appeal of the BACHELOR-verse, THE BACHELORETTE in particular.  I’m clearly not in the sweet spot of their target audience, the reality-obsessed female 18-49 who was ostensibly being appealed to at the outset with the promise of turning the tables on the male fantasy that the original iteration of the series

It’s easy to find fault with just about everything these days, and Lord knows I tend to go out of my way to do that more often than not.  That’s especially true with awards shows, which tend to lean towards biased, elitist and overly political.  And certain there’s been more than a few recent Oscars

I spent a disproportionate amount of last night with Michelle Pfeiffer, which at one point in my life would have been a fantasy come true.  Ever since she slithered her way across a piano in THE FABULOUS BAKER BOYS, one of many breakout roles that complimented her striking beauty anmd ultimately defined her as one

Not gotta lie, this one hurt. THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER’s Alex Weprin was among the more sanguine conveyors of what eventually dominated my personal algorithm yesterday afternoon: NBCUniversal will no longer produce first-run syndicated TV programming, ending production of shows like Access Hollywood, Access Live, Karamo and The Steve Wilkos Show in a major strategic shift for the company. “NBCUniversal is making changes
