Most police procedurals are dark and gritty, which is actually kind of depressing. However, Elsbeth is the opposite. They make murder mysteries fun!
And after watching the trailer for season 3, it looks like nothing is going to change. Carrie Preston and the gang are having as much fun working on the dramedy as we do watching it.
Elsbeth returns with an all-new special episode on Sunday starring Stephen Colbert as a talk show host, which has to be a stretch for him.
Then she will be back to her regularly scheduled night, Thursdays at 10p on CBS.
The Matlock season premiere airs this Sunday, and the legal show is in the news today. And not for reasons that want to be.
According to Deadline, David Del Rio was fired for allegedly sexually assaulting his co-star.
The alleged assault is said to have happened on September 26th, and it was reported on October 2nd. After an internal investigation by the producers and the studio, he was fired and walked off the lot that same day.
Last year’s #1 new show, which is halfway through filming this season, is set to go on a preplanned production hiatus next week and return after Thanksgiving.
Hopefully, that will give the writers enough time to figure out the rest of the season without his character, who was the least important one of the series.
Del Rio played Billy Martinez, a junior associate, alongside Matty (Kathy Bates) and Sarah Franklin (Leah Lewis).
UPDATE: I did not want to name Leah Lewis because I believe she needs her privacy during this time. And I would not name her unless she went public, which she did. To see what she said, then click here!
It used to be that we didn’t talk about Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Now, we start talking about it around Labor Day. And that takes away from the best holiday of the year, Halloween. Even Mariah Carey knows to wait to unfreeze herself until the day after we go trick-or-treating.
Because of Christmas starting earlier and earlier, CBS thinks we are ready to talk about what we want to watch on New Year’s Eve on October 6th. We don’t. But that didn’t stop them.
Today, they announced that Lainey Wilson, Bailey Zimmerman, and scaredy cat Jason Aldean as the lead performers at this year’s New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash. CeCe Winans and the Fisk Jubilee Singers will be special guests singing during the countdown to 2026.
The five-hour live bash will be held at Nashville’s Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park,
More names will be announced in the upcoming weeks, and that is a good thing because the special concert needs them.
And in the future, CBS needs to wait until Mariah is defrosted before revealing their NYE plans. Because there are too many things we are focusing on, it’s hard to remember or care about what to do on the night of December 31st.
When Fire Country ended its third season, Vince (Billy Burke) and his dad’s (Jeff Fahey) lives were left in peril during a massive fire that engulfed the area, and the building they were in collapsed on them.
Shortly after the episode aired, there were reports that Burke was not returning for season 4. After months of waiting to find out, we now know the answer.
CBS released a promo for the upcoming season today, and there will be a funeral for Vince. His son Bode (Max Thieriot) vows to continue the Leone family legacy. However, it will not be easy for him because he will face opposition from his friend Jake (Jordan Calloway).
But they might have to band together to save their station because it has been suspended from active duty.
So, that will be a few episodes of them trying to save Station 42, and they will. Dear Dramas, Stop doing those storylines; our characters always win.
Let’s be honest. Sherlock Holmes is the star, and Dr. John Watson is his sidekick. However, CBS made Watson (Morris Chestnut) the leading man of his own series last season.
He was standing on his own for most of the season because he thought that he was the only one who survived a showdown between Professor James Moriarty, and Sherlock and himself.
But he was not. Moriarty (Randall Park) also survived and was out to kill Watson. But it was Watson who got the last laugh when he supposedly killed his enemy.
That was last season. This season, Watson is going to find out that Sherlock is also alive, and he will be played by Robert Carlyle for a few episodes.
“We are thrilled to have the mighty Robert Carlyle join the cast of ‘Watson’ in Season 2,” said series showrunner Craig Sweeny. “The man has played iconic roles in projects like ‘Trainspotting,’ ‘The Full Monty,’ and ’28 Weeks Later’… and now he steps into the shoes of the most iconic detective of all, Sherlock Holmes. When Watson’s best friend and former partner makes a shocking reappearance in his life, Watson is forced to confront their shared past—and a secret that may lie buried within Watson’s own body.”
The actor confirmed the news by saying, “My dear Watson…a new challenge awaits me.”
It is unclear when he will be making his first appearance on the medical mystery procedural. However, we do know that it returns with all-new episodes on October 13th.
BTW Am I the only one who wants Watson to say, “No shit, Sherlock,” when he sees his friend for the first time after presuming he was dead?
