Some of Rosy the Reviewer's Favorite TV Shows: 2016 Edition

It's ironic that this is the greatest time of year for someone like me - Rosy the Reviewer - who loves movies and loves reviewing them, because Oscar season is upon us and all of the great films that will be up for Academy Award consideration are in the theatres now or soon will be.  The irony is that this is also the holiday season and Rosy the Reviewer is not immune to all of the busyness the holidays entail, so because of that I have not been able to see as many films as I would like to so, alas, and I hope I am not letting you down, I don't have a new movie review for you this Friday.

But as you know, Rosy the Reviewer also loves TV and no amount of holiday hassle keeps her from her favorite programs, so as an early holiday gift to you, I thought I would give you a handy list of, not just my current favorite TV shows, but just some damn good TV!

Enjoy - and Happy Holidays!

You are very welcome.









The Crown

Elizabeth II is the longest ruling British monarch and this riveting dramatic series shows us how it all happened.  Watch the awards "reign" down on this show (I know, but I can't help it)!

Rosy the Reviewer says...a real life "Game of Thrones" but without the dragons.
(Streaming on Netflix)









This is Us

Don't say I didn't give you a heads up on this one when it wins all of the Emmys.

All of the actors are first rate but Crissy Metz is a stand out and one to watch.  She is amazing. 

Rosy the Reviewer says...best family drama to come along in years.  Trust me.
(Tuesdays, 10pm, ABC - Catch up on Hulu or On Demand)






The Affair

Affairs can be messy and we see just how messy from the points of views of all of the characters involved, Roshomon style.

Rosy the Reviewer says...really good adult TV - wonderful award-winning acting and all kinds of twists and turns that will keep you engrossed and guessing.
(Sundays, 10pm, Showtime - catch up on Hulu or On Demand)






Dateline

Love true crime, love Lester Holt, but SPOILER ALERT - it's always the husband!

Rosy the Reviewer says...the best in true crime TV.
(Fridays, 9pm, NBC - but it seems like it's on every night)






Full Frontal with Samantha Bee

Samantha Bee started out on John Stewart's show and now has her own platform for political commentary.

Rosy the Reviewer says...If you miss John Stewart this is for you. Hang on to your hats.  She tells it like it is...and if you lean to the right, she might scare you even more.
(TBS, Mondays, 10:30pm)






The Big Interview with Dan Rather

Ex-newscaster Dan Rather, schooled in the broadcast world of Walter Cronkite when we trusted the news, spends an hour with different celebrities and interviews them in a very thoughtful way.

Rosy the Reviewer says...Rather has a wonderful interviewing technique but, Dan, in the chaos that is now network news and the fake news rife on the Internet, why did you leave the news?  WE NEED YOU AND WALTER!
(AXS TV, various times, click on link above to watch online)





The Late Late Show with James Corden

Following on the heels of Craig Ferguson, British actor James Corden lends his unique brand of humor and his British sensibility to late night.

Rosy the Reviewer says...and his Carpool Karaoke is not to be missed. One of the funniest and most entertaining things you will see on TV!
(CBS, Weeknights, 12:30am)

Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown

Tony blew the lid off of the pressure cooker, so to speak, with his first book "Kitchen Confidential (because of him, we don't order fish in a restaurant on a Monday, right? ), and since then, he has had several TV shows where he traveled the world and ate a ton of food (how do you stay so skinny, Tony?). 

However, this show is his favorite -- and he told me himself!

Rosy the Reviewer says...if you love food and travel and an always interesting point of view about both, you will love this show.
(various times on CNN - check listings)








X Factor UK

This is a British singing competition that is part singing, part over-the-top production numbers and lots and lots of Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne. Some of the biggest names in music show up to perform on this show, too.  I'm talkin' Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, that kind of big name.  Much more fun than our song competitions.

Rosy the Reviewer says...the best song competition show on TV.
(AXS, Sundays and Mondays, 5pm PT)



Now back to reality (mine anyway):




Ladies of London

Part of the "Real Housewives" franchise, except this one has British socialites and American expats thrown together, and since deep down, I don't think the Brits really approve of us, it's a bloody mess but with really classy accents and you know how I feel about England. Heaven.

Rosy the Reviewer says...all of the things I love - England, beautiful clothes and skinny bitches.  My favorite housewives.
(Bravo, Tuesdays, 10pm)




Little Women: L.A.

A sort of "Real Housewives," but these are little people and the point here is, they may be little people but they have the same big problems as everyone else.  If you are a "Dancing With the Stars" fan, you will recognize Terre, whose big personality lit up the show and proved that little people can do everything us larger folks can and sometimes with more personality.

Rosy the Reviewer says...a chance to learn about your fellow humans who may not be just like you but they have the same dreams, desires and problems.
(It's currently on hiatus - find it On Demand or Hulu)








Great British Baking Show/Great American Baking Show

Yet another show we have stolen from the Brits ("Great British Baking Show"), but thank goodness we haven't messed with it too much and it is a very close version to the original, even starring the wonderful Mary Berry, who is a very youthful 81. I love us women of a certain age to be stars!

Rosy the Reviewer says...if you love cooking competitions, this is one of the best (but watch the British version too).
Thursdays, 9pm, ABC




And now from the sublime to the...well, you know...






Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars

This show is perfect when you have had a rough day, you don't want to think too much and your spouse is being impossible. After watching this, your spouse will look like a saint.  And if not, there is actually some good marriage advice if you do want to think.

Rosy the Reviewer says...when you are in the mood for a train wreck!
(WeTV, Fridays, 9pm)

What I Have Learned from "Game of Thrones"

I am feeling kind of depressed today, and I think it's because Season Six of "Game of Thrones" just ended.

If you read this blog, you know I am a hopeless TV addict, so you will be surprised that I have not watched or binge-watched the many long-running dramas such as "Mad Men," "Orange is the New Black," "Breaking Bad," "The Good Wife" and other shows that have been so popular.  I guess I've been too busy with "Naked and Afraid" and "Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars."

However, there is one drama that Hubby and I have become hooked on and that is "Game of Thrones."

It wasn't that long ago that I didn't know my Cersei from my Jon Snow.  "Game of Thrones" had already been on for five seasons when I decided to give it a try.  My daughter was an avid fan and had been talking about it so much that I was intrigued.  So when Season Five began last year, I started TIVO'ing it and then ran to the library to get the earlier seasons to binge watch and get caught up. I figured that if we watched a couple shows per week of Seasons 1-4, we would be caught up by the time I had all of the Season Five episodes taped (I have since been disabused by a friend that watching a show two times a week is NOT binge-watching so I guess I'm still learning). 

We had a trip to Rome and the Amalfi Coast planned during that catch-up time, so we even took some of the discs with us.  I have fond memories of sitting on the bed in our room in the Trastevere neighborhood of Rome after a long day of sightseeing and watching The Night's Watch prepare for the attack of the Wildings (Season 4) on Hubby's laptop.

So when we arrived home from our trip, we were well and truly ensconced in "Game of Thrones."

Warning:  If you haven't been watching "Game of Thrones" and plan to, proceed with caution.  Possible spoiler alerts.

As I said, Season Six ended the day before yesterday (Sunday), and I am not happy that I have to wait another year to find out whether Daenarys will take control of the Seven Kingdoms, get a boyfriend (or girlfriend) and live happily ever after, who Jon Snow's father is and what will happen to Sansa and Arya, though I have to say there is some deep satisfaction that the icky High Sparrow has finally been dispatched. What a pain he was!

What is it about these TV shows that draw us in to the point that we will spend entire weekends watching episode after episode because we can't get enough? 

I think that telling and listening to a good story is in our DNA. 

A good story speaks to who we are and some themes transcend time and place. Where once we sat around the fire eating our mastodon steak and recounting our adventures fighting dinosaurs, now we stand around the water cooler at work with our Starbucks and retell our favorite moments in our favorite TV shows. Some things never change. We can all come together and bond over a good story and "Game of Thrones" is a damn good story with elements we can relate to, despite the fact it takes place hundreds of years ago and features dragons.  

In the end, it doesn't matter if you are a "Game of Thrones" fan or an "Outlander" fan or a "Mad Men" fan.  If it's a good story with family problems, mother and daughter relationships, royal intrigue, romance, danger, war, friendship, loyalty, betrayal, sex, all of which are part of the human condition, it speaks to us as humans. We can relate in some fashion to all of those.  Well, maybe not the royal part, but all of the other stuff.

All of those things draw us together in common experience.  For example, we realize that mothers throughout time have had to deal with children who didn't do what they wanted them to do.  Friends have betrayed friends and fathers have been disappointed in their sons then and now.  Dragons have come to our rescue.  Well, maybe not that, but the gamut of human emotions and frailties are played out. There is usually a sense of catharsis at the end of a particularly intense or satisfying episode, and we can also feel grateful when we realize that their lives are way worse than ours. For example, unlike in the "Game of Thrones" world, I don't particularly need to worry that when I am feasting on a big leg of lamb at a banquet, that I could very well get my throat slit. There is comfort in that.

Watching "Game of Thrones" also gives us an escape from our sometimes mundane lives and allows us to be a part of something epic without having to leave home and actually participate in bloody battles or live in drafty castles.


It's also educational.

We can learn some things when we watch stories like "Game of Thrones." 



Here are some things I learned:

• I learned that I wasn't such a bad Mom.  My kids would have been mortified and probably never forgiven me, if, like Cersei, I had pissed off the local clergy and had to do a naked "Walk of Shame" down the streets of our town with the soccer moms shouting "Shame! Shame!" and me wishing I hadn't eaten that extra piece of chocolate cake. Cersei probably would also have caused scenes at ball games or blown up the hot dog stand if her kids didn't get to play. I also didn't kill my kids. I managed to avoid all of that.

• I learned I have a vengeful side.  I couldn't wait to see Lord Ramsay Bolton, one of the most insidious and sadistic characters of all time, get his, and, boy, did he.  I HATED him!  During the penultimate episode, I sweated so much that I think I lost about 30 pounds or maybe it was all that jumping up and down in glee I did.

• Lord Bolton's demise also taught me that it's a good idea to keep your dogs fed, especially if you are an abusive husband and your wife plans for you to go to the dogs, literally.

• I learned that family feuds don't end well nor does running off and joining a cult.

• Women can be badass warriors.

• It's not just me.  Wine has always been with us.  They drank a lot of it back then.

• We should have some dragons at our beck and call or at least a dire wolf or two.

• I learned that if you are a hunky, handsome leading man, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that you will be brought back from the dead, especially if we pray really hard.

• And in the immortal words of Yogi Berra, "It ain't over till it's over." In a really good series like "Game of Thrones," the story and characters are unpredictable and continually surprising. Just like Jon Snow coming back to life, you can't predict what will happen. I can't wait to see what is in store.

I have a question though.  With all of that velvet, brocade, leather and lace everyone wore back then, where did they get their clothes dry-cleaned?

Watching "Game of Thrones" has helped to wean me off of my diet of "Housewives," home tours, food competitions and other reality shows and to broaden my TV watching horizons. 

So "Game of Thrones" may be done for this season, which makes me sad, but I plan to drown my sorrows by immersing myself in one of these series. 

"Breaking Bad"
"Outlander"
"Orange is the New Black"
"House of Cards"
"Homeland"
"Scandal"
"The Fall"

Along with some wine and my very own little dire poodle, that ought to do the trick until "Game of Thrones" comes back!

See you next year "Game of Thrones!"

Until then...

Some TV Shows You Might Not Know About (and 14 That You Should)!

 

The Queen of TV is back.

 

I have told my story of my hopeless addiction to TV that started at a young age in the early days of television (yes, I am that old) in my blog post "Confessions of a TV Addict."  I have also shared my feelings about various television genres countless times, such as how I would do on "Naked and Afraid," or what kind of a "Real Housewife" I would be, so no need to go into more details. (If you want to read other accounts of my TV watching life, see the end of this blog post).

From time to time I like to pop my little TV-loving head up and tune you in to some TV shows I am currently enjoying.  I am not going to talk about my obvious favorites that no doubt you have heard of, such as "Game of Thrones," "Dateline" or "The View."  No, I am going to clue you in to some shows that perhaps you have missed or that have not gotten much publicity.  There are so many channels these days and so many programs vying for your attention, I am not surprised if you haven't heard of some of these.

But that's what I am here for. 

Rosy the Reviewer sees it as her job to not only watch movies and read books for review, but I must also sweat and toil in front of the television so as to be here when you need me.  So here I am to report on some television shows I like that might not be on your radar.  Some are must-sees and some are just fun and will allow your mind to take a break.

I realize that a few of these shows are not currently on right now, but with On Demand, Hulu, YouTube and The Internet, I am sure you can find these shows if you are so inclined or you can wait for their next season.

 


1.  The People V. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story

 

If you don't watch anything else, this is the number one TV show you should be watching right now.

I am predicting that this show will get the Emmy for Best Dramatic Series and Sarah Paulson will win for her extraordinary portrayal of Marcia Clark.  Heck, it's worth seeing this show just to see John Travolta chew the scenery as one of O.J's counsels, Robert Shapiro.

My younger readers might not know much about the O.J. Simpson trial and the impact his innocent verdict had on the nation at the time, so all the more reason to see this show.  It is a part of our social fabric. But even for those of us who were there, this 10-part series is riveting from the first episode and clues us in to what was really going on behind the scenes.

We saw the trial on TV but had no idea what the major players were going through:  that prosecutor Marcia Clark was constantly being criticized for how she looked (what else is new for women?), and she was in the midst of a divorce and child custody trial herself. Co-prosecutor Christopher Darden was unsure of himself and, did he have a thing for Marcia?

Based on the book "The Run of His Life: The People versus O.J. Simpson" by Jeffrey Toobin, this mini-series features an all star cast including Cuba Gooding Jr. as O.J., David Schwimmer, doing a great job as the late Robert Kardashian (yes, that Kardashian), Nathan Lane as F. Lee Bailey and Courtney B. Vance as Johnnie Cochran.

If you don't see this one, you will be sorry when it wins all of the awards.  This is what great TV is all about.
(Tuesdays 10pm on FX)

 




2. And Then There Were None

 

 

This Agatha Christie tale (it's one of the best-selling crime novels of all time) has been told many times but not this well! 

It's 1939 and ten people are lured on various pretexts to the fictional British Soldier Island by the mysterious U.N. Owen.  When the guests gather for dinner, a recording is heard accusing each of them of murder.  And each of them is guilty as hell. Then, one by one, each is killed off. As they try to figure out "who done it," they realize the killer is one of them.

Your favorite British actors are on hand in this lush production - Miranda Richardson, Charles Dance, Sam Neill, Toby Stephens, Aidan Turner (that dishy Poldark) and more.

The production design is creepily atmospheric. This is one of the great plotlines that has been used over and over in various incarnations, and it never gets old. This is the kind of period mystery that the Brits do better than anyone.  "Brilliant!" as the Brits would say.
(Continues this week on Lifetime)






3.  Naked and Afraid

 

I am so into this show that I wrote an entire blog post about it ("How Would I Do On 'Naked and Afraid?"). 

I am sure the title alone would turn people off.  Yes, the people are naked, and yes, they are sometimes afraid, but what makes this show so compelling is what people will do FOR NO MONEY WHATSOEVER! 

This is a survival show where a man and a woman meet each other for the first time - ahem, naked - in some exotic locale teeming with critters that want to kill them.  They are only allowed to bring one item with them, usually a machete, fire starter or pot, and they must stay out there for 21 days.  They have to find a campsite, find water and food and get the hell out of there after the 21 days. 

People who enjoy shows about the outdoors, surviving in said outdoors and, I guess, naked people walking around with their naughty parts pixilated will like this show.  I find it absolutely riveting - the survival part, not the naked part.
(Discovery Channel)




4.  Recipe for Deception

Max Silvestri hosts this new cooking competition where chefs must create a wonderful dish using a key ingredient that they need to guess by asking a series of questions, some of which might not be answered truthfully. 

They try to guess their key ingredient by asking questions.  Their competitor might answer truthfully and might not.  At the 10 minute mark, they get to ask more questions and at the five minute mark, they find out what the ingredient is and really have to hustle to finish their dish.

Based on the parlor game "Two Truths and a Lie," the competing chefs can ask three questions, two of which will be answered truthfully and one with a lie. It's fast paced as the chefs scramble around the kitchen trying to cover all of their bases. They present their dishes to celebrity chef judges Chris Oh and Jonathan Waxman who declare a winner of that heat.  There are two heats and the winners of each face off for a final challenge which also involves more lying and deception, and the chefs who lost in the earlier heats can scheme their way back into the competition.

There are competitions that also include celebrities, most recently Lou Diamond Phillips and Steve Howey.

It's a strange little twist on "Top Chef" that is worth checking out for those of you who love cooking shows.
(Thursdays, Bravo)

 





5. Married at First Sight

Yep.  Three couples are put together by relationship experts and get married on camera in a traditional wedding ceremony after seeing each other for the first time as the bride walks down the aisle. 

They are then followed and counseled by the experts for six weeks and after the six weeks the couples must decide if they should stay married or get a divorce.  There is nothing sensationalistic about this. It's a fascinating experiment, part reality TV and part marriage counseling.  I found out about this show from my son and his wife and I'm glad I did.  It's addicting!

The experts are clinical psychologist Dr. Joseph Cilona, sexologist Dr. Logan Levkoff, sociologist Dr. Pepper Schwartz, and humanist chaplain Greg Epstein.

How can you resist a show that has a Dr. Pepper in it?
(FYI and A & E)

 



6. Watch What Happens Live

Andy Cohen, who is responsible for much of the reality TV on Bravo, particularly "The Real Housewives" also has his own late evening talk show. 

What I love about this show is that it reminds me of the late night talk shows of old where the host and the guests sat around and just had fun - adult fun. 

There is minimal plugging of their shows by the guests, no self-aggrandizement.  It's 30 minutes with Andy and just two guests and some related person running the bar, because like I said, it's adult fun. 

There is always a "drinking game alert" and the like. Andy sometimes opens his "vault" to show pictures of the celebrities before they were famous and he plays all kinds of games, my favorite being "Plead the Fifth," where he asks the celebrity guests three questions and they can "plead the fifth" to only one.  He has interesting pairings - a recent show paired Loretta Lynn and Isaac Mizrahi.  But it's Andy himself who makes this show.  He is so enthusiastic about the guests, he's like a little boy in a candy shop -  and he loves gossip. Since there is drinking going on, you are often treated to the guests saying something outrageous.  I'll drink to that!
(Sun-Thurs. 11pm on Bravo)






7.  Intervention

 

This show has won many Emmys and despite its sensationalistic subject matter is an amazing, sensitive look inside the world of addiction. 

You would think at some point, the subjects would realize they are on "Intervention" or that the show would have trouble finding people who wouldn't be suspicious that they would end up in an intervention.  This show has been on for several years but they don't seem to run out of participants, a sad commentary on the drug epidemic, and I guess if you are doing drugs, you don't watch a lot of TV, especially shows about drug addiction!  I can't tell you how many times this show has brought me to tears, especially when they roll the end credits and tell you what happened to the person and that someone didn't make it. 

It's real, it's gritty, it's heartbreaking and it's inspiring.
(Sundays on A & E)






8.  Finding Your Roots

 

 

Who knew  someone else's genealogy could be so fascinating? 

As a librarian, I used to hate genealogists because they were very demanding and we had to do all of the searching by hand.  Though there is still an element of that in the searches, the Internet has made finding one's family tree much easier with resources like Ancestry.com.  Host Henry Louis Gates Jr. (those who know him call him "Skip") puts celebrities in touch with their roots and ancestors they never knew about.  A recent episode featured Dustin Hoffman who was brought to tears by the story of his grandfather who he never knew.  Others who have appeared:  Gloria Steinem, Mia Farrow and Neil Patrick Harris.

A fascinating look, not only into the forbears of celebrities, but of history.
(PBS)







9.  Flesh and Bone

 

A drama about the not so glamorous life of the professional ballerina.

Troubled Claire Robbins (Sarah Hay) runs away from her hometown to seek a life as a professional ballet dancer in New York City only to discover that her troubles have just begun.  Her talent is noticed by the tough but legendary Paul Grayson (Ben Daniels), who runs The American Ballet Company, and he wants to feature her, much to the dismay of the other dancers who dislike Claire and are jealous of her.  Just as she is struggling with her issues with the dance company, issues from her past follow her to New York.

This is a compelling backstage story showing the cutthroat ambitions rife in the world of ballet.  It's a mini-series similar to "Smash," but it's more adult, more gritty and more fulfilling and it's all about dance.  With an excellent cast, the music and dance sequences are stunning.
(A STARZ original drama available now on On Demand and Amazon Prime)






10.   The Graham Norton Show

How does Graham get Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Sir Elton John, Penelope Cruz and Jack Black all on the same show? 

I don't know, but he does. 

All of his shows are full of A-listers. Jimmy Fallon and other U.S. talk show hosts must be green with envy.  Graham Norton is a national treasure in the UK, and it's because he is just a really nice, witty and fun guy.  He has fun with his guests and at the end of each show, a "civilian" sits in a red chair and tells a story.  If the story goes over, that person gets to walk off.  If not, Graham pulls a lever and the storyteller literally goes over, the chair tips over backwards. Why is it so funny to see people tipping over?

A fun evening of witty repartee.
(Mondays, BBC America)







11.  Tiny House Hunters

The house hunters aren't tiny, but the houses they are looking for are.  It's "House Hunters," but for tiny houses. 

If you are thinking of downsizing - REALLY downsizing - this is for you.  Otherwise, it's a unique addition to the "House Hunters" franchise that is fun to see how some people want to live.

However, I have yet to see an episode that isn't driven by a MAN.  If any man tried to tell me I had to move to a 200 square foot home with no closet space for my shoes, I would say, "See 'ya!"

But you can't account for taste...or women trying to please men.

If you like the "House Hunters" franchise, this is a fun addition.
(Mondays, HGTV)







12.   Inside Amy Schumer

Amy is the funniest woman in movies and on TV today. 

This show is a series of sketches written and performed by Schumer.  They are very edgy and some of them don't work, but it's still one of the funniest 30 minutes on TV.  She has no shame and is not afraid to "go there."  You will be shaking your head but laughing.
(Thursdays, Comedy Central - new episodes begin April 21)






13.  Louie

And if Amy is the funniest woman, then Louie C.K. is the funniest man. 

This sitcom shows Louie as a kind of sad sack guy who, like the real Louie, makes his living as a stand-up comic, but for the fictional Louie anything that can go wrong does - to hilarious effect.  His deadpan is as good as Buster Keaton's was and the writing is sharp, dark and very adult.
(FX)





14.  Portlandia

Portland is a metaphor for everything politically correct, yuppie and "out there." 

Portland doesn't have the motto "Keep Portland weird" for nothing.
SNL alum Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein skewer everything from feminism to political correctness to brunch in a series of sketch comedies.  Not all of them work, but the two of them never cease to entertain.  It's refreshing to see original work that goes for it.  These two have no shame.  It's delightfully quirky and funny because there is a little bit of "Portlandia" in every town - and in us.
(Thursdays on IFC)
