Summary After seeing CBS' upcoming TV lineup, I’m shocked thatNCIS: Sydneyis the series that will be replacing this legendary police procedural show. The CBS fall TV schedule is now available onTV Guide, andI was surprised that the schedule favored the Aussie-based police dramaover a show that has been on television for over a decade. I know it’s just the nature of the business, but the definitive legacy of the iconic procedural makes this change difficult to contend with....

Summary I’ll be the first to admit it: Paramount+‘sHaloTV show wasn’t very good, but I’m still frustrated by its cancelation. In its first season,Halowas universally panned by critics and audiences alike.It wasn’t a faithfulHaloadaptation, but it was also just mid-level sci-fi fare at best. I was surprised by just how muchHaloseason 2tried to correct course after its first outing’s missteps. Obviously, there were certain elements — theCovenant’s Blessed One concept, for starters — that the series couldn’t completely retcon or erase, but it certainly did damage control....

Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken, asToo Hot To Handleseason 6remains predictable and stale. Between wannabe influencers chasing clout and existing models pretending to mature,Too Hot To Handlehas become nothing more than a breeding ground for young, hot singles who are out for fame....

Given thatStar Trek: Starfleet Academywill be bringing back the Doctor (Robert Picardo) as a main character, I want the show to resurrect a lost storyline fromStar Trek: Voyager. The Doctor originally debuted as a member ofVoyager’s cast of charactersin 1995 and quickly became popular with viewers.

In an interview withAIPT Comics, Condon talks about the approach to the character in hisnewGreen Arrowseries.“I think he’s always kind of been a little bit more of a radical,”Condon says of Oliver Queen, explaining, “just in terms of what he does and how he does things....
