Villainess Review: Fran Hendrix (Hardcastle and McCormick)
A week after Decades aired a weekend marathon of Remington Steele as part of their weekend binge, the network did the same for the underrated 1980s series, Hardcastle and McCormick. I had heard of this show, but (until that weekend) I had never seen a single episode or even knew who starred in the series. The show starred the late Brian Keith (of Family Affair fame) as Milton C. Hardcastle, a retired judge whose last case centered on car thief Mark "Skid" McCormick, played by Daniel Hugh Kelly (who would later play Macaulay Culkin's father in one of my favorite films, The Good Son). So how did they end up permanently linked together? The pair struck that saw McCormick serve as Hardcastle's agent (on a conditional parole) after they worked together to capture the very person who killed McCormick's best friend.

Content warning: sexual assault. Aimee Gibbs is known for her unwitting comedic presence, but she defies the stereotypes of the "dumb blonde" female character often seen in high school settings. Especially in seasons 2 and 3 of Sex Education, Aimee is given a chance to voice her opinions on a variety of topics and spend more time with people she truly cares about, like Maeve and Steve.

*There may be spoilers in this article pertaing to Season I of the Netflix Series The Crown. Sorry in advance.) After watching the Netflix television series Crown I now understand the importance of Prince William and Harry's familial relationship and why in some Royals' eyes, their brotherly beef must be squashed for the common good of the British people.
Villainess Review: Elena Ruiz (The Rookie)
I absolutely love The Rookie with a passion, and even that is an understatement. I was sold on this very quickly; all it took was learning that Nathan Fillion was starring on this show, and I was in (thanks to my adoration for his other ABC show, Castle). The series began as a Tuesday show, but has aired on Sundays since the second season began, and it is part of my Sunday habit. When I am finished watching whatever sports are on (NFL early in the season, NHL later on), when the clock strikes 10PM in the West Coast, I tune in to The Rookie. Now I mention the show being part of my Sunday routine, but despite this, the villainess that I am reviewing is from Season One, which aired on Tuesdays.

Trevor WellsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksRanking the X-Men Animated Shows From Best to Worst
Prior to the arrival of the MCU, the Avengers were not the flagship superhero team for Marvel. Instead that honour went to the mutant team, the X-Men. They were used for the ability to show not just superhuman heroics, but also the issues within society for discrimination and racism. When Marvel decided to head into production with the MCU they were unable to even consider featuring the mutant team as they were licenced and owned by Sony, who had already started a X-Men film series.

The Best Reality TV Shows Are Happening On Dropout TV
Comedy has not had the best luck on the Internet over the last few years. The comedy streaming service Seeso shut down in 2017. Cracked fired much of its video staff the following year, causing them to spread to the Internet winds (see Maggie Mae Fish, Cody Johnston, etc.). College Humor went with these creators in 2020 after its parent company InterActive Corp. dropped the brand, allegedly forcing the CEO Sam Reich to lay off over a hundred staff to buy CH Media, the company that owned the rights to College Humor.

Villainess Review: Naomi Shawn (Alfred Hitchcock Presents)
Good evening. I do love Alfred Hitchcock Presents, the classic anthology series that served as one of many great contributions from the Master of Suspense himself. The series ran from 1955-1962, and it was followed by The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, a 60-minute version of Presents that aired between 1962 and 1965. So a full decade of this thrilling series, as well as a revival series that aired during the latter half of the 1980s. Reruns of the series air on MeTV daily, and all episodes of the series are on Peacock.
Clyde E. DawkinsPublished 2 years ago in GeeksThe AEW Roster is too Large
There are over 170 people on the AEW roster, now that does include the likes of on-air talent and managers. Even if you take away 30 or 40 people to accomodate for something like that, it is still a massively large roster for a TV show that can only be represented by three hours of television a week to casual fans. This is something that has bothered me for quite some time.
