Don’t break my achy breaky heart, by not checking out the back-to-back episodes for the season 2 premiere of Still the King tonight at 10p on CMT. How many shows can you say top themselves during their sophomore season? Not that many and this show is one of the few that can. I do not know how this show found a way to make itself even wilder and wackier than it was last year, but they did.
On tonight’s season premiere, one hit wonder Vernon (Billy Ray Cyrus) is just out of prison and he moves in with his recently reunited baby mama Debbie Lynn (Joey Lauren Adams) and their teenage daughter Charlotte (Madison Iseman). Debbie Lynn just lost her lover Ronnie (Jon Sewell) in a boat explosion. To make matters worse for her, she is pregnant and does not know who the daddy is?
Vernon decides he is ready to step up and be the father he never was to Charlotte, who he did not know about. Only problem is Ronnie is not dead and now the two men are trying to be the better father to be.
Ronnie gets a job while Vernon returns to his musical roots. Meanwhile, it is Debbie Lynn who has the toughest of all, putting up with these two man children.
If you did not watch the first season of Still the King, it is OK. In fact, I want you enjoy this show as much as I am, and I just watch it live starting tonight and every Tuesday at 10p. You can binge the first season later, which will probably start at 11p tonight and you will pull all nighter.
There is nothing else like Still the King on television. It honestly a crazy horseback ride that you do not want to get off. Seriously the show is just pure fun. We need more shows like it on television and Cyrus is brilliant in this role.
Once again, I am begging you to watch because this truly is the best show on television this Summer and we need more episodes that the 13 that they ordered.
Ever since I was a kid, I have been obsessed with Jack Ripper. I always thought of him as a British serial killer, but tonight at 10p, American Ripper on History Channel questions if America’s first known serial killer H.H.Holmes and the Ripper are the same person.
His great-great grandson Jeff Mudgett believes his relative might not only be the infamous Chicago serial killer, but also Jack the Ripper. Tonight, he recruits former CIA. operative Amaryllis Fox to help him find out if it might true. They will follow his relative’s footsteps to see if there might be evidence that confirms what they are thinking. They will literally try to dig up the truth and from that we might finally know who Jack the Ripper is.
Could one of the biggest mysteries of our time finally be solved? It would explain how the Ripper was able to vanish without a trace. He returned to America and lived the rest of his killing around 200 people.
I know I for one am on this 8-part journey to find out what they find out. I want to know the truth. Even if they don’t prove the connection, it still intrigues me that 125 years later we still want to know who killed some prostitutes in London.
Finally at 9p, but on Freeform is the new page turning show The Bold Type. The drama follows three Millennials who work for the female empowering magazine Scarlett.
Jane (Katie Stevens) has just been promoted to writer and she is having a problem finding her voice. Her friend Kat (Aisha Dee) is the mag’s social media manager and she needs to learn when to shut up. Finally, there is there is their friend Sutton (Meghann Fahy) who is an assistant to one of the editors. She has held that job for four years and like her friends she wants a promotion. Something her secret boyfriend who works for the magazine might be able to help her do.
Each week as they are assigned a new task, they will each learn something new about themselves. Thankfully, they have each other to help them through each lesson. Because without friends, who are you?
The Bold Type is a different type of drama for the network and like most of their shows, you will quickly find yourself addicted to every nuance by the end of tonight’s 2-hour season premiere.
Even though Baby Daddy is doing well in the ratings, won a People’s Choice Award and will air its 100th episode on May 22nd, Freeform cancelled the very funny sitcom according to the show’s hunky star Derek Theler.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, they did this to make room for Black-ish’s spinoff. You know their version of the Different World where the daughter goes off to college. If it is anything like her character, the show is going to get an F and Freeform will regret their decision. Zoey (Yara Shahidi) is the least interesting character on the ABC sitcom.
Actually they should totally regret their decision because Baby Daddy and Young & Hungry are their most consistent shows. At least Freeform needs give us fans a little something and give Tucker (Tahj Mohry) and Bonnie (Melissa Peterman) a spinoff or a talk show. Those two have a chemistry unlike anything else.
Even though the show still has two more episodes left to air, I want to thank the cast and crew for giving us a great show that only got better.
Paige (Bella Thorne) is a college student, who dreams of some day of being an actress. Her friend Cassandra (Georgie Flores) has the same dream. Therefore, when she hears that they are having open call auditions for the movie based hottest book series out there, Cass convinces her roommate to go with her and try out. The two girls audition but only Paige gets a call back. Not only does she get a call back, she gets the role. Now this simple girl, who has never acted before, is being thrust into to spotlight on Famous In Love tonight at 9p on Freeform. She is not prepared for everything that comes with it.
Paige’s co-star is Rainer (Carter Jenkins) and the 21 year old had a drinking problem. He is fresh out of rehab and he’s still getting over the fact that his best friend and girlfriend hooked up. To make matters worse for him, Jordan (Keith Powers) and Tangey (Pepi Sonuga) have also been cast in the film and they still have feelings for each other. They don’t want to act on it because of Rainer, but since they both have mother issues, they can’t help but fight this feeling. Rainer also has mommy issues, to go with the BFF and GF issues.
Rainer also has feelings for Paige, but she has been crushing on her other roommate Jake (Charlie DePew), who is an aspiring screenwriter. He also has feelings for her, but neither one has told the other one how they feel.
While Paige is getting interest from her co-star, Jake is getting it from her now rival Alexis (Niki Koss). Alexis, is an established actress, who was also up for Paige’s role. She didn’t get it and now she hates Paige. When Alexis meets Jake, she finds out about his screenplay and gives it to a producer to read. The producer loves it so much, he want to turn it into a movie.
Everything seems to be working out for all of them, but not everything is as it seems. One has a murderous past, one is about to find out who their real father is, one of them will be fired from the film, one of them works as a topless maid on the side and one of them has been lying to everyone about their sexuality.
If that doesn’t get you to watch, then how about an amazing season finale episode filled with sex, lies, a murder and a question finally being asked to wrap it all up. See don’t you want to watch it tonight and binge the rest of the season starting tomorrow on the Freeform app? I thought you would!
Famous In Love is what guilty pleasures are all about, so tune in for your latest addiction!
Chelsea Kane shared a photo of herself looking very pregnant, so does the Baby Daddy star have a baby daddy we don’t know about? Nope! Well her character is pregnant by Danny, her boyfriend on the Freeform sitcom, but in real life she is not pregnant. Pretty realistic baby bump. Don’t you agree!
First ABC said no no no more episodes to Notorious and now they are saying the same to Conviction according to The Hollywood Reporter. The legal drama was told that they will air the 13 episodes that they ordered, but no guarantee that they will air on Mondays at 10p. Is this a surprise? No, the show was awful.
Meanwhile THR says that over at one of ABC’s sister station’s Freeform, the network did not order a second season of Dead of Summer. As much as I enjoyed this show, I am OK with their decision because it felt like one and done.
