The Savanah Bananas have made a name for themselves on social media. And next month, they are going from the smaller screen to the small screen.
The baseball team that live up to their name, in a good way, will make its broadcast TV debut on The CW next month.
“Banana Ball on The CW is a no-brainer,” said Jesse Cole, founder and CEO of the Savannah Bananas. “After seeing their recent commitment to sports, we knew this could be a great partnership. With the speed and entertainment of Banana Ball, we look forward to creating new fans together in the years to come.”
Their first game will air on July 27th, and we will watch them play, dance, and make us enjoy baseball all over again in front of a sold-out crowd in Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park.
If you are unfamiliar with them, you can discover them on all the social media apps. They are just pure joy, and I am so happy they are finally getting the exposure they deserve.
Three years ago, Nexstar bought controlling rights of The CW and cancelled almost all of their scripted shows. One of the shows that survived the bloodbath was All American. In fact, it is the last show standing.
However, it will not be standing for much longer because The CW announced today that it will be back for an eighth and final season. Thus, ending the original CW’s scripted run.
Commenting on the long-running series ALL AMERICAN executive producer Nkechi Okoro Carroll said, “How do I condense into just a few words what would be the longest love letter to this show, the fans, the cast, crew, staff, and producers. My heart is so filled with love and gratitude for everyone who helped bring ALL AMERICAN to life and kept it going for its historic run. It is so hard to say goodbye to the thing that you love, but we are so excited we get to do it in the way we envisioned with this final season. Thank you to Brad Schwartz, Channing Dungey, Brett Paul, and Greg Berlanti for supporting our vision. Thank you to the many executives at Warner Bros Discovery, CW and Berlanti Productions who have been a supportive part of the ALL AMERICAN huddle since day one. Thank you to our OG and new generation cast members, our writers, crew and full staff for raising the bar every episode. Thank you to Spencer Paysinger, whose life inspired this epic journey. And thank you to everyone who not only watched the show, but took Spencer James’s mantra of ‘Dream Big. Stay Real’ to heart and were inspired to chase their seemingly impossible dreams. We see you. We salute you. Here’s to leaving it all on the field one last time.”
Family Law will be back in session on The CW, and the fourth season will premiere on July 28th.
As Season 4 kicks off, Abigail’s (Jewel Staite) home, work and romantic life are up in flames. Her boyfriend Ben (Benjamin Ayres) has fallen off the wagon, Sofia (Eden Summer Gilmore) has written a devastating essay about her mother’s alcoholism and Harry (Victor Garber) has passed her over for equity partnership.
Abby decides to give Ben a second chance – though it only leads to more disappointment. Later, sparks fly when she meets someone new and unexpected, but is she ready to date again? Professionally, Abby’s concerns about a major development at the firm are ignored, forcing her to make a decision that sends shockwaves through the office – and her family. Meanwhile, Harry and Joanne (Lauren Holly) manage their breakup poorly, until they both have experiences that make them reevaluate what truly matters. At work, Harry’s plan for a lucrative merger with a rival law office looks like a sure thing until it forces him to make an impossible choice.
Daniel (Zach Smadu) mourns the end of his “relationship” with Martina (Miranda Edwards) by having a one-night stand with the offbeat Jude (Mapuana Makia), and his life is turned upside down when Jude shares life changing news with him. Lucy (Genelle Williams) ends her relationship with the manipulative Kelly (Aliyah O’Brien), but the break-up leaves her wracked with self-doubt – until she’s upfront about her insecurities on a podcast, which leads to exciting opportunities and possible romance.
With cases ranging from rental families, surrogacy gone awry, parental liability and AI companion dolls, the dysfunctional Svenssons continue helping other dysfunctional families find their way, all while navigating their own turbulent personal lives.
I cannot wait until July to see all this go down in the 10-episode fourth season.
In 2021, The CW shot a pilot for a possible live-action Powerpuff Girls series with Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault but decided not to move forward.
Three years later, leaked footage was released on social media, and it was not like the cartoon version we knew.
The girls were all grown up and wanted nothing to do with their personas due to accidentally killing someone who was out to get them. After his death, they go from beloved to be hated.
Several years after that incident, Bubbles still dresses like herself on Hollywood Blvd to make enough money to buy more alcohol. Buttercup is a real-life hero who never wants to put on the costume again. And Blossom is just stressed.
The three of them decide to come to see their dad, played by Donald Faison, and evil comes for revenge and to destroy Townsville. And it looks like he will succeed until the Powerpuff Girls save the day.
And now, they go from zeroes to heroes all over again.
I don’t know why The CW opted not to pick up this show because it looked like it would’ve been a lot of fun. Oh, I know, that is why. The CW was dark, and this show was light.
We are used to seeing police procedurals that are gritty and dark. And after a while, they become taxing on the soul.
So what if you like crime shows but want them to be less gritty and less dark with a little humor? Then you can watch Good Cop, Bad Cop on The CW on Wednesdays at 10p.
On tonight’s season premiere, the episode starts off with two different robbers trying to rob the same pharmacy at the same time. Only one of them gets out alive after a bad shootout.
Lou Hickman (Leighton Meester) is a detective in that small town where her father is the police chief.
There is not a lot of crime there because her dad, Big Hank, found a way around it. But that doesn’t mean there is no crime. And Lou needs help. So, Big Hank decided to bring in someone to help her.
Who is it? Her baby brother, Henry (Luke Cook). He is socially awkward, just like his relationship with his older sister.
Big Hank tells her she either has to work with him or no one at all. Thus, she begrudgingly agrees to train him and take him on as her partner. Not only that, but he also has to live with her.
Just like old times? Yes and no. They still fight like cats and dogs but are also trying to keep Eden Vale, Washington, safe.
Lou uses her instincts and experience to solve crimes while her brother prefers to use his book knowledge. Even if they are using two different styles of detective work, it helps them to solve the cases.
And they do this with heart and some laughs, mixed in with the right amount of crime solving.
Meester (unlike her Gossip Girl co-star) is likable in whatever role she takes on. And this is no exception.
Even though Cook is not supposed to be someone we like, we can’t help but fall in love with the big lug. By being so straight, he has a lot of comedic lines and actions to go with that Frankenstein stiffness.
Finally, there is Brown, who is that gruff father who wants his kids to get along and do their job. This way, he won’t have to do anything but sit behind his desk.
Yeah, this is going to be cliche, but I cannot say anything bad about Good Cop, Bad Cop. And I have not even mentioned how original the crimes are. So you are left guessing who and/or why until the end of each episode.
