SERIES FINALE: After seven seasons, this ABC series calls it quits, with what one hopes is a final “happily ever after.” But this series has rewritten and overwritten itself so much in the past few seasons, there’s no telling where it might end up.

Hedy Lamarr was born in Austria, migrated to Hollywood, and played such iconic female figures as Delilah (in 1949’s Samson and Delilah) and Joan of Arc (in 1957’s The Story of Mankind). She also inspired the visual looks of other icons – specifically, Disney’s Snow White and the original comic-book incarnation of Catwoman. But the real bombshell about Bombshell, this jaw-dropping 2017 documentary, is how her ideas and inventions, in WWII, not only helped the war effort tr

SEASON FINALE: All of Season 5 has been about alternate time lines and the end of the world.

SEASON FINALE: Tonight is the Season 4 finale for this prequel series, setting the stage for the Batman universe in Gotham City. So even though there’s one more episode, and season, to go, things have gotten closer to revealing the true nature of both the villains and the heroes in this show. And tonight, two of them come face to face (but not with Two-Face; he’s not one of the villains expected in this episode), as Jim Gordon, played by Ben McKenzie, confronts Jeremiah, played by Ca

SEASON FINALE: There are a couple of very tenured series offering season finales tonight. I used to watch both, but for years now, I’ve only occasionally checked in on either. This is one of them: the Season 14 finale of Grey’s Anatomy.
