Most Wanted: ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 2!

This week would’ve been a relatively boring one if it wasn’t for such a high-profile return, so let’s be grateful for that! Meanwhile, I added some things that I have been enjoying the last few weeks, and along with that certain high-profile premiere, I have many other premieres (including one that begins today!) So without further rambling, here’s the list!

1. The Walking Dead – Season Premiere

It’s back! I am a little frightful about the show’s future without creator, executive producer, director (pretty much involved with everything) Frank Darabont. Fortunately, most reviews call the shows return a solid start, and I  can’t wait!

2. Nerdist Writer’s Panel

If you ever wondered how TV shows come about (raises hand!) and how to break in the business of television writing (raises hand again!), this is the podcast for you. Ben Blacker hosts this weekly podcast that includes writers from all kinds of shows (recently, they’ve had Parks and Recreation, Justified, and Friday Night Lights writers) and their stories range from funny to gripping and interesting at the same time. Chris Hardwick is a hardworking man.

3. Last Man Standing – Series Premiere

If you’re looking for something that has a stupid, bigoted, homophobic, out-of-touch lead, this is the show for you. Tim Allen stars in what may be the worst new show of the Fall season. Care to watch?

4. The Rosie Show – Series Premiere

Rosie O’Donnell returns to television on Oprah’s OWN, and is Oprah’s lead-in. Shouldn’t there be a reversal in the scheduling?

5. Talking Dead – Series Premiere

Nerdist’s Chris Hardwick hosts his first big-time television show hosting a Watch What Happens Live-ish show recapping the show that airs before it. AMC knows it has a hit on its hands with Walking Dead and they want to bank on it as much as possible. In this case, it’s an “enjoy it while it lasts” feeling for them.

That’s a wrap! Come back next week for another sporty edition (hint!) of The Most Wanted List!

Emmy Predictions: Drama

20110918-030257.jpg
It’s that time of year again! THE EMMYS! It’s the most important day in television and here at JuniorTV. Although many of the categories won’t go in my favor (as you’ll see below), I’m still rooting for many people and their respective shows. Besides, there has to be a shocking win somewhere this year, right? (Remember Kyra Sedgwick last year?) So today, a day before the ceremony(!), here are my predictions on who will win, and who should win for the major drama categories, including Best Drama and the Best Acting categories for in drama.:

Outstanding Drama Series
Boardwalk Empire (HBO)
Dexter (Showtime)
Friday Night Lights (Direct TV)
Game of Thrones (HBO)
The Good Wife (CBS)
Mad Men (AMC)

WHO WILL WIN: Boardwalk Empire (HBO)

This show has every single ingredient for Emmy glory: A period drama with a seemingly unending but thrilling storyline with characters that keep viewers hooked. AMC’s Mad Men is getting it’s Drama Emmy streak taken away and there’s nothing it can do about it.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Friday Night Lights (DirecTV)

My favorite drama ever ends it’s five season run and I’m so disappointed that it hasn’t won a single Primetime Emmy throughout it’s run, and that’s just criminal on the Academy’s part.

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series
Steve Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire (HBO)
Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights (Direct TV)
Michael C. Hall, Dexter (Showtime)
Jon Hamm, Mad Men (AMC)
Hugh Laurie, House (FOX)
Timothy Olyphant, Justified (FX)

WHO WILL WIN: Steve Buscemi, Boardwalk Empire

This man is the heart of this show, and his performance already scored him a SAG Award for Best Actor in a Drama. I have almost no doubt in my mind that he will win, but I would be glad if he lost to a certain someone.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Kyle Chandler, Friday Night Lights

This is that certain someone. For five seasons, he lead a now legendary role as Coach Eric Taylor in one of the most critically-acclaimed shows of all-time. Its about time that he gets one, and it’s the Academy’s last chance to redeem themselves, but they wont.

Outstanding Supporting Actor in A Drama Series
Peter Dinklage, Game of Thrones
Josh Charles, The Good Wife
Alan Cumming, The Good Wife
Walton Goggins, Justified
John Slattery, Mad Men
Andre Braugher, Men of a Certain Age

WHO WILL WIN: Walton Goggins, Justified

I’m so glad that FX’s ‘Justified’ will finally get the recognition it deserves tonight, as Goggins’ performance was the best of the year for actors in the supporting role. See why I think so below.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Walton Goggins, Justified

His character is sinister but also has much emotion. He helps his enemy, but also wants to destroy him, and that makes him one of the most versatile characters on TV.

Outstanding Lead Actress in A Drama Series

Kathy Bates, Harry’s Law
Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights
Mireille Enos, The Killing
Mariska Hargitay, Law & Order: SVU
Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men

WHO WILL WIN: Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife

Last year, many thought her award was robbed by Kyra Sedgwick, but this year, she is invincible.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights

Although not a leading lady like Margulies, Britton has had incredibly important storyline moments throughout Friday Night Lights’ five season run, and the award is long overdue.

Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Drama Series
Kelly Macdonald, Boardwalk Empire
Archie Panjabi, The Good Wife
Christine Baranski, The Good Wife
Margo Martindale, Justified
Michelle Forbes, The Killing
Christina Hendricks, Mad Men

WHO WILL WIN:Margo Martindale, Justified

Her performance as the wicked Mags Bennett is historic, portraying one of the most evil characters on television. Martindale has this one locked.

WHO SHOULD WIN: Margo Martindle, Justified

It’s nearly impossible for Emmy voters not unanimously vote in her favor to win. I hope she has her speech ready.

That’s all for now! Come back soon to see who I think will win on the Comedy side–see you then! And don’t forget: The 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards airs this Sunday, September 18 on FOX, hosted by Jane Lynch!

Emmy Nominations: Who got Nominated and Who Didn’t?

20110714-044614.jpg

Before I get to the analysis, I have to say—this is the best list of Emmy nominations I have ever seen! So many people and shows that deserved to be nominated were finally recognized by the Television Academy. They mostly got it right, giving nominations to Timothy Olyphant (Justified), Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), Mireille Enos, Michelle Forbes (The Killing), and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) in the Drama categories. They should also be commended for giving nominations to Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation), Louis C.K. (Louie), Martha Plimpton (Raising Hope), the guys and gals from Modern Family (Ed O’Neill, Eric Stonestreet, Ty Burrell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen, and Sofia Vergara), Chris Colfer (Glee) and Laura Linney (The Big C) in the Comedy categories.

Even though they did a great job, they could always do better, and they definitely overlooked some performers. Katey Segal was snubbed like crazy, not getting any recognition for her performance in Sons of Anarchy. Speaking of SOA, the show didn’t get nominated either, and neither did any of the actors on the show. Over on the Comedy side, I think it was a big error to nominate Melissa McCarthy for her performance in Mike & Molly. Don’t get me wrong, she definitely deserves the nomination, but just not this year. I truly thought that this would finally be the year that Patricia Heaton would return to the Emmy ballots for her incredible performance as Frankie Heck on the ABC Comedy The Middle. Another snub was the exclusion of Sean Bean in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category. I’m also disappointed that Fox’s Fringe didn’t get nominated for one single thing. The CW barely gets recognized by the academy, but it did get nominated for one thing this year: Sound Editing on Nikita. Nice. Another snub is in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series category, where both Joel McHale (Community) and Rob Lowe (Parks and Recreation) were overlooked by the academy and instead placed Johnny Galecki (The Big Bang Theory) and Matt LeBlanc (Episodes). The biggest disappointment that I had with the nominations were that none of the guys from Parks and Recreation weren’t nominated, especially Nick Offerman! He was truly robbed of the nom by Jon Cryer.

For now, those are the surprises and snubs that I know of. If there are any more (which chances are, there are,) I will of course update the post with more of my rants. So that’s it! Emmy nominations announced! We’re now 66 days away from the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards! Make sure you watch on September 18 at 8/7c on FOX.

Emmys: Favorite Performers in Drama

20110707-063153.jpg

NOTE: As of this post, we are just one week away from the Primetime Emmy Award nominations!

As I mentioned in my last Emmy post, the Drama category has greatly improved versus seasons past, but I don’t expect a gigantic change in the performing categories. First, lets begin with the actors. For Outstaning Lead Actor in a Drama Series, Bryan Cranston is out of consideration this year, so someone new will get the Emmy this year, and god willing, it will be Kyle Chandler (DirecTV/NBC’s Friday Night Lights), but I’m also hoping that Timothy Olyphant (FX’s Justified) gets one as well for his outstanding performance as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. Others likely to get nominated are Jon Hamm (AMC’s Mad Men), Michael C. Hall (Showtime’s Dexter), and a new entry, Steve Buscemi (HBO’s Boardwalk Empire). Another newcomer to the category could be Peter Krause (NBC’s Parenthood,) who critics say had a monumental season on the show, and Sean Bean (HBO’s Game of Thrones) who pleased viewers and critics alike on the most anticipated new series of 2011. One more thing: Remember this name, William H. Macy (Showtime’s Shameless), you might hear it.

For Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, there are at least two slots open for newcomers, since the guys from ABC’s Lost (Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn) are obviously out of contention. Expect a big change with this category, as John Noble (Fox’s Fringe), and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) are very likely to get nominations. Martin Short (FX’s Damages) and Andre Braugher (TNT’s Men of a Certain Age) got nominations last year, but anything can happen, and newcomers could take over in this very vulnerable category, although this is rather unlikely. Other names that I’m just going to throw around are the guys from The Good Wife, Alan Cumming and Chris Noth, who had audiences reeling during the sophomore season of CBS’ older-skewing drama. Also, Walton Goggins (Justified) and Michael Pitt (Boardwalk Empire) could get a nomination as well.

Next: The actresses! For Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, I barely expect a change, but if I had to choose one who won’t get a nom, it would be Mariska Hargitay (NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit), which is becoming a more repetitive character on the show. Who could fill in her slot? I definitely hope it’s Regina King (TNT Southland) who’s performance of Detective Lydia Adams has gotten universal praise from critics and viewers alike. Some other possible candidates are Lauren Graham (NBC’s Parenthood) and Anna Torv (Fox’s Fringe). For this category, I’m going full force with support for Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights,) and no one else. Her performance on FNL is hands down the best in all of television. Also, don’t be surprised if Emmy voters flip-flop on the leading women of AMC’s Mad Men. January Jones was nominated last year, and Elisabeth Moss could possibly have her turn this year, as they both go head-to-head for the first time this year. Kyra Sedgwick surprisingly won last in when pretty much everyone (including me) thought it would be Julianna Margulies from The Good Wife, chances are she’ll win this year. Before the next category, here’s another name you might hear: Mireille Enos (AMC’s The Killing).

Last but not least, the category of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, which had a pleasantly shocking winner (The Good Wife’s Archie Panjabi,) but will that win hold up this year? Possibly. Competition is stiff and Panjabi’s costar Christina Baranski could steal her thunder. Margo Martindale’s incredible performance in FX’s Justified might just get her her first Emmy, and Kelly MacDonald could get a nomination; this time in HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. Although I don’t expect Sharon Gless from USA’s Burn Notice to get a nomination like she did last year, I do expect to see Rose Byrne get another nomination for Damages.

That was a lot of typing, but it was completely worth it! That’s a wrap of Emmy nomination analysis! Stay tuned next week as I’ll have full coverage of the 63rd Primetime Emmy nominations! I have tons of stuff in store for next week, so stick around!

Most Wanted: Wilfred Sneaks Up to #1

Image

This week, another wave of new shows are set to premiere, and an animated film that I’m very excited about. Also, there’s an award show that is holding it’s inaugural ceremony, and it lands on the list. All that and more on this weeks list, down below!

1. Wilfred – Series Premiere (FX)

FX’s latest comedy is a dark one, but will hopefully provide many laughs when it debuts this week. If you remember, this was my #1 new show to look out for this Summer, and I’m hoping it lives up to that position. Elijah Wood plays a neurotic man on the verge of suicide when an unlikely creature comes and helps out. Want to see what happens? Watch it this week.

2. Cars 2

Pixar’s latest effort is a sequel to what has been referred to as the least-strong of the movie studio’s films, but they are aiming to change all that with an improved storyline and Disney Digital 3D to give it an all-around great experience. Early reviews are strong, and by Friday, it should be one of the best reviewed animated films of the year.

3. Critic’s Choice TV Awards

The inaugural ceremony, hosted by Cat Deeley, was held today and it’s interesting who the winners were. Why “were”? Because I haven’t seen the list of winners or the ceremony whatsoever. ReelzChannel will air the show, but you can watch it early online.

4. Suits – Series Premiere

USA is staying strong as far as having character based legal dramas on their schedule, and Suits is a welcome addition to it’s lineup. Suits is like the lawyer version of White Collar (another USA show) and that outsider isn’t a world-class con man, but a smart, non-bar certified college dropout.

5. The Killing Fallout

What the hell happened? Why wasn’t the murder solved? And why the hell did it end this way?! I demand some answers, and I can’t believe it ended so poorly, basically giving the middle-finger to loyal viewers.

That’s a wrap! Come back next week for an all-new Most Wanted List!

Most Wanted: AMC’s ‘The Killing’ Murders the Top Spot!

Image

This week marks the end of one of the best new shows of the year, and I’m sad to see it go. Fortunately, it’s just been renewed for a second season. Also, a new epic series makes it debut this week and could be the cable version of Terra Nova (hint!). A veteran show that you’ve seen a lot in the last few weeks will make yet another appearance on the list, but trust me, it’s warranted. What should you look out for this week? Find out on the list! Down below:

1. The Killing Season Finale

This fantastic drama mystery has kept me guessing all season, and we’ll hopefully find out who killed Rosie Larson in this week’s season closer. In last night’s episode, the final minutes were shocking, with Linden possibly finding who killed Rosie, and I never would’ve guessed it—**SPOILER ALERT!** it’s Seattle mayoral candidate Darren Richmond. And while you may have guessed that it’s him, this show has so many twists and turns that you can’t be sure, even though the evidence is stacking up against Richmond. We’ll see what happens when The Killing’s amazing first season wraps up this Sunday at 10 on AMC.

2. Falling Skies Series Premiere

TNT’s epic new series is getting great early reviews, and I’m definitely going to give it a shot. The Steven Spielberg-produced action drama takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where aliens have invaded the earth and are practically the dominating population. The armies are wiped out, and it’s up to the residing humans to fight back. I have no idea how they came up with this show without spending a ton of money, but it somehow landed on cable. It’s not a serial in that it wasn’t like FlashForward (fortunately,) and aims to be more like The Walking Dead in terms of being in survival mode. We’ll see if this show flourishes of flops, with the 2 hour Sunday premiere on TNT.

3. Friday Night Lights

After I saw Matt return to the show, I couldn’t think of a better development this far into the season. We’ll see what happens with them this week but going back to Matt I started to think: “What if Landry came back to Jess, since she’s so frustrated with Vince? Now that would be one hell of a plot.

4. The Voice Live Show #2

Last week was a great show, and I can’t imagine who will get eliminated tomorrow night. We’ll see which two (yes, TWO contestants!) will get axed from the show, and who landed in the bottom with them, which could give us a look into who could get eliminated the following week. If I had to pick two, it would be Lily and Xenia. Lily has a voice, but is way too picky and risks it all to hit a note that just can’t be reached; and for Xenia, she just doesn’t have the vocal range to stick around for the rest of the season.

5. Green Lantern

This new superhero flick has been in the works for awhile now (it was on the cover of my first EW issue!) and it’s just now making it to theaters. Ryan Reynolds plays the legendary title character, who gets special abilities from a special ring, and uses it to fight crime. Will it stick with audiences at the box office? We’ll see…

Thats it! Come back next Monday for a brand new edition of the Most Wanted List!

Will AMC’s ‘The Killing’ Murder the Ratings?

Image

Tonight is a big night for AMC. With the announcement of Mad Men being delayed until 2012, the cable network has to keep viewers interested in the channel at least until The Walking Dead returns in October. The show they’re betting on for this spring and summer is a new crime serial named ‘The Killing’. Will it be as big as The Walking Dead? I doubt it, but it could keep AMC in the top 20 for the time being. The show revolves around the murder of a young woman named Rosie Larsen, and the twists and turns that come in the case. Critics are in love with the show, but they’re telling viewers to be patient, which could be a big problem.

If you remember a couple of months ago, the last time critics loved a slow-moving show, it got disastrous ratings, and was eventually cancelled. The show I’m talking about is ‘Rubicon’, which also aired on AMC. ‘The Killing’ is different though. It is much more understandable than ‘Rubicon’. When I saw the Pilot, I was so confused by the end of the episode, that I had no choice but to quit on the show right then and there. Even before I saw the show, the plot didn’t seem too interesting. A man trying to solve a conspiracy in the murder of his mentor (yawn), and he wasn’t even a cop. Also, the show seemed to be quiet the entire time, and had the weirdest of dialogue. In ‘The Killing”, there are multiple detectives and it looks promising in suspense and emotion that the detectives have in the case. From what I’ve read and seen, the show looks very promising.

As I’ve mentioned before, the show has received incredible reviews. Ken Tucker from Entertainment Weekly says that “some viewers may find The Killing a little too cold and deliberate, but give it time. Its intensity builds steadily, giving the series unexpected power. Linda Stasi from The New York Post says that ‘The Killing is “Dead on” And a “bleak, slow-moving, humorless show that is still so good that you will be angry every time an episode ends.” Paige Wiser of the Chicago-Sun Time says that AMC “clearly knows what’s good for us,” and Tim Goodman from The Hollywood Reporter wrote an absolute glowing review of the show, saying this, “The series is excellent, absorbing and addictive. When each episode ends, you long for the next — a hallmark of great dramas.”

Make sure you watch tonight’s 2-hour premiere of ‘The Killing’ starting at 9 P.M. on AMC.

Most Wanted: Disney’s “Mars” Disaster

Image

I was super busy and completely forgot about the list, I’m so sorry! It won’t happen again. Let’s waste no more time: Here’s the list!

1. The Box Office Bomb

Have you heard? One of the most disastrous box-office openings in history happened just this past weekend. And its a Disney movie. “Mars Needs Moms” earned just $6.8 million in it’s opening weekend. What’s even more shocking is that it cost over $150 million to make, and it will surely not recuperate that money, marking a big financial loss for Disney, and a big lesson for Hollywood.
2. Rebecca Black, “Friday” Remember when I said that I was going to put bad stuff on the list as well, as long as it should be known? This is one of those moments. A new Selena Gomez-ish teen singer named Rebecca Black released a single that will mark an all new low in music. Her debut single, “Friday” has horrible lyrics, grotesque singing, and a reply dumb music video along with it. It is being called the worst song of all time, and I agree.

3. The Walking Dead on DVD and Blu-ray

’nuff said, just get it!!

4. Spring Wipeout

Who doesn’t love Wipeout? ABC’s hit show is aiming to be on the air all year long with a Winter and Spring version, along with it’s regular summer version. Its the Summer’s second highest rated show (behind America’s Got Talent) and you will do nothing but laugh. Spring Wipeout premieres Thursday night at 8 on ABC.

5. Pokémon Black and White Versions

Nintendo’s hit video game franchise has hit another high and it’s for the record books. Pokemon Black and White sold a combined 1.08 million copies in just the first 24 hours, shattering it’s previous U.S. sales record that was close to 800,000 in 2007. Reviews of the new versions are are great, and many are already looking forward to the next version.

That’s a wrap! Come back next Monday for an all-new Most Wanted List! Again, sorry for the delay, it won’t happen again.
