It's a bit out of the ordinary for us here at Are You Screening?, but if you're lucky enough to have access to TV5Monde USA (and are able to get anything out of the broadcast), there's a very cool show coming your way, and I wanted to give you some notice. Epicerie Fine is a documentary series hosted by Guy Martin, and it takes a different spin on the culinary world of television. Each week, … [Read more...]
PSYCH returns tonight at 10/9c, and the hit show isn't slowing down this season. Still loaded with incredible guest stars and pineapples, it's as fun as ever, and somehow still comes through fresh as the first season. Of course, even I have to admit that a couple of episodes last season went a bit off, but there were also some amazing efforts in there, and this season is kicking off with some … [Read more...]
The best thing ABC's Last Man Standing has going for it is that TV Land is now producing its own shows. If this Tim Allen effort had come out a couple of years ago, I might have bet that it had no chance at all. That isn't to say that I don't like it... it's average-ish when all is said and done..., but I wouldn't have had a lot of hope for it actually getting viewers. It has some good elements … [Read more...]
The season is kicking off well for FOX, even if I'm questioning the decision to keep Fringe going... that's just me, I'm sure. I'm loving New Girl, and the new season of Raising Hope has been keeping that show going in solid fashion (notice how they changed the opening credits like I told them to). At any rate, here are some behind-the-scenes looks at the shows for you. Keep tuning … [Read more...]
Hung is kicking off its third season this Sunday, and I wanted to make sure you all got notice of the fact. I know there is a lot going on right now, and it's hard to keep track of everything, but don't let this show slip past you. HBO COMEDY SERIES HUNG, STARRING THOMAS JANE, JANE ADAMS AND ANNE HECHE, RETURNS FOR ITS TEN-EPISODE THIRD SEASON OCT. 2 Having skirted the watchful eyes … [Read more...]
ABC's Suburgatory is a show that, whatever else it may manage, is going to have a lot of critics talking. A lot of them are going to love it, and I suspect a lot of viewers will as well, but a lot of them are going to wonder what the hell anyone could see in it. Either way, this is not a show that is going to slip past without comment. On the other hand, it's also a show that may be in too … [Read more...]
I hope you've been watching Top Shot, and I hope you've enjoyed some of the truly amazing competitions this time around, even if you had to sit through various installments of "Jake is a tool," along the way. Seriously though, there were cannons! I've got a cool prize pack giveaway for three lucky winners, and I wanted to make sure that everyone knows about the Facebook App as well. It's a … [Read more...]
The sit-com market is an especially tricky game these days, and Whitney is an effort that seems to be trying largely to go back to a construct that used to capture people in droves, mixed with a somewhat updated sense of humor. It has certain Mad About You feel to things, but we're watching a different couple, in a different age. These are people who grew up with Seinfeld, and their friends are … [Read more...]
ABC's Charlie's Angels isn't your ordinary update. Circa '70s and '80s fare has become so popular of late that it's easy to get lost in the sea when looking for examples, including the film versions of this same title, but this one has a somewhat different approach. I'm not at all sure that's a good thing. Odd in what it does and does not pull from the late-'70s original, there is much in the … [Read more...]
ABC's Revenge feels like something that was initially developed for ABC Family more than anything else. Even among shows like Desperate Housewives, it seems like it would be more at home alongside Pretty Little Liars and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. But, I probably don't mean what you think I mean by saying that. The show follows Emily Thorne (Emily Van Camp), and her integration … [Read more...]
Boardwalk Empire seems to have polarized audiences and critics alike. While the first season managed plenty of viewers, and a load of award nominations, it doesn't seem to have become the next big thing everyone is talking about, and it looks like there is just as much talk about it being rather... "meh." I write a lot of the negatives off to genre bias, because I find it difficult to make … [Read more...]
FOX's new comedy, New Girl, is a dangerous enterprise, and it isn't helped by the fact that the line-up is going to change right after the pilot. It's dangerous, because it's a very particular brand of comedy, and one that is hard to categorize without using the word "silly." That may or may not make for a successful show, but it's a trickier gamble than most comedy offerings. At least, … [Read more...]
There are two shows this fall which are (at least according to what people are saying) hoping to capitalize on the success of Mad Men. Both of them shift the primary focus to women, and ABC's Pan Am is looking to relive the glamour of the glory days of stewardesses. 1963 is a very different world, and we're about to see quite a bit of it with the help of four stewardesses aboard Pan Am's … [Read more...]

A Fan-Only advance screening of the sixth season premiere, and a chance to spend an evening with the entire cast. Check out all the info below, and don't miss out on the chance to rub shoulders with the cast. 500 Loyal … [Read more...]
The definitive winner this summer, as far as I'm concerned, is USA's Suits. Already picked up for another season, the legal drama starring Patrick J. Adams and Gabriel Macht won over fans immediately. As young genius Mike Ross, and legal powerhouse Harvey Specter, the pair have delivered time and again, as the show details their curious relationship, the firm's inner turmoil, and a variety of … [Read more...]
