Cheers to Steve Harvey
for getting it right this time. Thanks to the success—and half-pint hilarity—of Little Big Shots, it’s impossible not to forgive the comic for crowning the wrong Miss Universe back in January. Unless, of course, you’re Miss Colombia.
Jeers to Arrow
for offing Laurel Lance, aka Black Canary. Katie Cassidy was finally kicking ass as the Star City heroine, so it kicked us in the gut to learn that Laurel was the one in the grave the show had been teasing all year. There had better be a Lazarus Pit trip or an Earth-2 twist coming soon!
Jeers to USA
for making a bad impression. The cable network canceled Royal Pains and Graceland to make room for a celebrity- impersonators competition hosted by Freddie Prinze Jr. and Dana Carvey? What lesser channel are they trying to imitate?
Cheers to TBS
for going all in on Full Frontal With Samantha Bee. Now that the network ordered 26 additional episodes, we’d love to see Bee’s hilariously sharp news-com hybrid expand to a full hour. Or even a daily show that’s actually relevant.
