Cheers & Jeers

Jeers to the fall
for being so far away. We have to wait until October for Season 2 of Stranger Things (with Gaten Matarazzo, Finn Wolfhard and Caleb McLaughlin,)? You know, they’d never do this to us in the Upside Down.

Cheers to Days of Our Lives
for living another day. NBC has re-upped its last soap standing for its 52nd year, which means even more afternoon delights for diehard fans of Marlena (Deidre Hall) and Salem’s resident Brady bunch.

Jeers to Grey’s Anatomy
for patience abuse. So Karev (Justin Chambers) avoids jail, keeps his job and comes off as a hero after assaulting DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti, pictured) for doing right by a drunken Jo? You writers need to up the meds if y’all think this is OK.

Cheers to Supergirl
for serving up heroines without capes. Whether it’s DEO agent Alex (Chyler Leigh) fighting crime with ladylove cop Maggie (Floriana Lima, right, with Leigh) or badass mogul Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) battling her own evil bloodline, Melissa Benoist’s Kara sure has found herself a super-impressive sisterhood in Season 2.
