Nothing symbolizes maturity more than getting your first job. Regardless of what that job is and what you go on to do in life, it’s something you never forget. Mine was a paper route delivering the AM and PM editions of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. It was a great way to earn money and I was lucky because my route was all apartment buildings, making my deliveries fast and easy.

With the premiere for “The Billy and Josh Show” only weeks away and the studio breathing down their necks, Billy (Billy Crystal) and Josh (Josh Gad) continue their struggle to find the right balance for their sketch comedy. Will the two stars be able to sort out their differences, both personally and creatively, or is the show doomed to fail?

The cast and crew of The Walking Dead discuss the journey that each of their characters have taken throughout Season 5 and what’s to come in Season 6.

“I Am Abassin Zadran” is an exciting episode and sets up the season finale perfectly. I hope we’ll see the culmination to the Walter Taffet (guest star Jefferson Mays) story line, what happens with Martha, the close of the Northrup plot and the end of Maurice, and a resolution of what to do with Paige.

This isn’t a tear-jerker series finale, that’s for damn sure. If anything, Justified leaves its fans laughing more than anything, throwing in a gasp or two for good measure. What you thought could happen didn’t and what you hoped would happened also probably didn’t. As I’ve said numerous times throughout my reviews of this final season, Justified has become unpredictable; guess the episodes had to stay that way until the very surprising end. People die, and even hats aren’t safe in Harlan. It’s a bittersweet end but we have to say a final goodbye to Harlan County, Kentucky.

Filler episode at best, “By the Pricking of My Thumb” leaves me wanting. The tiny bit of action, both in and out of the bedroom, provides some excitement during the hour, but I must be honest, this episode is not one of my favorites.

As the conclusion to V.C. Andrew’s Dollanganger series that began with Flowers in the Attic (Flowers), Lifetime presents the final installment, Seeds of Yesterday (Seeds). Although there technically may not be any incest or children locked in attics in Seeds, this television movie has as much juicy drama as all three of its previous stories.

Time is of the essence in “Hibernaculum” with strange new Wesen arriving in Portland who freeze their victims, and Hexenbiests gone wild. This week’s installment of Grimm takes us on one helluva ride where reality is becoming blurred and the past has a way of creeping up on some of our beloved characters. From Monroe (Silas Wier Mitchell) reliving the nightmare he endured in “Wesenrein” and “Tribunal,” to Captain Sean Renard (Sasha Roiz) remembering every detail of being shot and having visions of an evil from beyond, things get a bit frightening in “Hibernaculum.”

If you haven’t heard of Wayward Pines, then hold on to your sanity because this is one show that will test your nerves. Based on the book series by Blake Crouch, the 10-episode limited series of the same name, Wayward Pines, is reminiscent of shows like Twin Peaks and Happy Town which were both ominous and chilling at times. It also has elements of movies like The Village and Signs in the sense that you aren’t sure if people are who they say they are or if the things that go bump in the night are from this world. Coincidentally, the director of these two films, Oscar® and Golden Globe® nominee M. Night Shyamalan, is one of the executive producers of Wayward Pines and directs an episode.

Ever since the premiere of season three of Vikings, the show’s promos have made it clear we should expect the Northmen to raid Paris before the season finale. Personally, I’ve hardly been able to contain my anticipation for what series creator/writer Michael Hirst might have in store for us, especially since I love it when the Vikings head to new territories. But with all the ongoing buzz about Vikings, will the Paris raid turn out to be an epic moment for Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) and the Northmen, or will it be a huge bust?

After watching the screener of the series premiere of #TheMessengers, I was elated to get into the press room to talk with some of the cast of The CW’s new show. The first episode, “Awakening,” introduces us to many of the characters who were “chosen” to be messengers. “Awakening” doesn’t actually confirm or deny these are messengers of God, but when you see the characters’ reflections, they are all angelically winged.

While at the mall, Barry (Troy Gentile) and Erica (Hayley Orrantia) discover the latest evolution in music technology, the Compact Disk or CD. But when the price of a CD player proves to be too expensive, the two set out to convince their father, Murray (Jeff Garlin), to buy them one.

When 61-year-old self-proclaimed loner and terminally ill, DR. CAS PEPPER, reluctantly agrees to give 22-year-old social misfit, DYLAN MORGAN, a very short lift home, the last thing he anticipates is that he will strike her angry boyfriend with his car, find himself on the lam, and ultimately drive across the country with an aspiring young writer determined to help him overcome his own bizarre case of suicide note writer’s block.

“One Day in the Life of Anton Baklanov” is another standalone episode that does a good job of handling the raw emotions of the three Jennings—Philip, Elizabeth, and Paige, as well as dealing with all the subplots in this season of The Americans. I particularly enjoyed the way director Andrew Bernstein uses the headlights from Elizabeth’s car to cast light on her face in the dark garage as she contemplates how to handle the mess with Paige going forward.
