Until watching the series premiere of Fox’s new drama Pitch, my interest in the beloved and boring sport of baseball began and ended with an affinity for Field of Dreams, A League of Their Own, and Moneyball (the movie, not the book). But I may have to add a fourth entry to that list, because here I am, enjoying…
Fox News CEO Roger Ailes has successfully golden-parachuted himself out of the network, but little else about the environment he helped shape appears to have changed. The latest reminder of that came in a lawsuit filed Monday by Andrea Tantaros, who claims she was punished by network executives for complaining about…
It’s almost September, which means it’s almost time to pack the kids off to school, get out the coats (oh god, please let this heat finally recede), and get ready for the new TV season to begin. Some of these shows even manage without time travel!
It’s just a jump to the left, but somehow the newly released rendition of “Time Warp” from Fox’s remake of the Rocky Horror Picture Show has taken the song from DIY freak carnival to Disney Channel nightmare. Brad, let’s go back, I’m cold and I’m frightened!

The Reverend Tyler Perry’s The Passion is unfolding live in the streets of New Orleans, starring rising star Jencarlos Canela (JC) as risen star Jesus Christ (J freakin C!) This magical event is apparently even partly filmed in the French Quarter, a holy neighborhood known for blesséd gifts such as $7 frozen daiquiris…
People has recently made my day by publishing a behind-the-scenes teaser for Fox’s upcoming Easter TV special, The Passion, a clip so stupid and perfect that I watched it three times, double-checked Christopher Guest’s IMDB page, and had to do a lap around the office.
The dedicated fun adversaries at One Million Moms are back with a new campaign, this one aimed at making Satan less hot. They’re outraged that the new Fox show Lucifer makes the Dark Lord look like a “likable guy” who’s “cool and irresistible to women.” Kind of like how these campaigns make the TV shows they’re…
Antonin Scalia, God rest his soul even though it was corroded like an old car battery, remains dead, and President Obama needs to pick a replacement on the Supreme Court. House Speaker Paul Ryan confirmed today that the GOP members of Congress will support their friends in the Senate as they block the shit out of…
In a jumble of descriptors not normally associated with Fox, Variety reports that the network has greenlit a pilot co-written by Rob Rosell and delightful-as-all-get-out SNL alumni Nasim Pedrad.

This afternoon, Bobby Finger said, “Oh, Grease pics,” prompting a flurry of quiet conversation about who was starring in Fox’s January attempt at a live musical event.
