The West Wing 20th Anniversary
Top 25 Best Episodes
Episodes 5-1
September 22, 2019

Premiering on September 22, 1999, this Fall will mark the 20th Anniversary of Aaron’s Sorkin’s seminal political drama, The West Wing. Telling the story of fictional President, Josiah Bartlet, and the trials and tribulations of his senior staff, The West Wing helped to usher in the Golden age of serialized drama that we’re still living in today. It is not hyperbole to say, The West Wing changed television in a real way, and for the better. In the end, The West Wing is a love letter to civil servants who sacrifice so much for their idealism and the greater good.

This Top 25 List represents the second in a series of articles I will be writing over the coming months, celebrating the show’s 20th Anniversary. Read my first entry here, the Best Seasons of The West Wing.  Due to the size of these articles, I’ll be publishing the Top 25 List in 5 Episode Installments. This is Part 4.

September 16, 2019

On Monday, September 23, 2019, Fox will kick off its the 2019-20 television season with the premiere of its newest crime drama (and psychological thriller), Prodigal Son.

From executive producer Greg Berlanti, executive producer Sarah Schechter (Riverdale; You), and executive producers/writers Chris Fedak (Deception; Chuck) and Sam Sklaver (Deception, Bored to Death), Prodigal Son stars Tom Payne (The Walking Dead) and Michael Sheen (Good Omens; Masters of Sex), both at the top of their game.

August 28,2019

We are a month away from the Season 2 premiere of A Million Little Things, the ABC breakout hit from last year.

TV Recap: BH90210 – Love It Or Leave It? (Contains Spoilers)

BH90210
Love It or Leave It? Review
August 7, 2019

With the premiere of BH90210 tonight, America’s most famous zip code is back for an all new go-around. Before we get into this nostalgia-filled limited series, some background is necessary for you youngsters out there. Beverly Hills, 90210 premiered almost 29 years ago, on October 4, 1990. I was 12-years-old when the coolest kids from West Beverly High burst onto the scene and this show was everything.  We didn’t have Twitter, or any kind of social media at all (not even Facebook), so Friday mornings in the school yard and lunchtime in the cafeteria were devoted to rehashing the previous night’s latest drama amongst the Beverly Hills kids. Beverly Hills, 90210 ushered in a new kind of television, soapy nighttime dramas aimed at teens and America ate it up.

Beverly Hills, 90210 ran for 10 seasons, ending in May 2000, and those teenagers that watched every episode are now in their 40s, with families of their own, and the appetite for 1990’s nostalgia is running high. BH90210 seizes on this 90’s fever with an enthusiastic flourish. But, is it worth the time  to watch? Read on to see whether we Love It Or Leave It … BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!!
