THE VOICE By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: A new cycle of The Voice begins with a new judge – the best judge, I’m predicting, in the history of this and all other reality competition shows. That’s because the new judge joining The Voice tonight is former American Idol contestant, and winner, Kelly Clarkson. Yes, I know, Jennifer Hudson, another Idol contestant, appeared on the most recent cycle of The Voice, but Hudson never seemed to fully warm up to the proceedings, and was more about herself, a

THE LOST TAPES: MALCOLM X By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: Season 2 of the documentary series The Lost Tapes begins by looking at a civil rights leader who rose to prominence demanding change in the 1950s, and was assassinated in the 1960s. But the subject isn’t the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. – instead, it’s Malcolm X, the much more militant and less nonviolent activist who demanded better treatment from whites, and was very vocal in advocating for it. The Muslim minister was killed in 1965 – but before then, l

IZOMBIE By David Bianculli

SEASON PREMIERE: It’s the start of Season 4 for this inventive and enjoyable zombie series, which is about as light as The Walking Dead is dark. Rose McIver stars as Liv Moore (get the spirit already?), a woman who works as a morgue attendant while solving crimes on the side – and solving them by ingesting samples of the brains of murder victims, temporarily absorbing their personalities, and using their trace memories to solve that person’s pre-corpse death. At the end of last

Good Girls stars three positively delightful actresses: Christina Hendricks (Joan from Mad Men), Mae Whitman (Amber from Parenthood), and Retta (Donna on Parks and Recreation). But the tone of Good Girls is

2018 WINTER OLYMPICS CLOSING CEREMONY By David Bianculli

If you want to watch the closing ceremonies live, you can watch them on NBC’s Olympics website – but you have to get up at 6 a.m. ET on a Sunday morning to do it. Otherwise, if you can wait out the South Korea-to-U.S. time difference, NBC will broadcast a delayed but lavishly packaged prime-time closing ceremony beginning a 8 p.m. ET. And NBC’s prime-time version will be hosted by always enthusiastic skating commentators Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski.
