Michel Ghanem @tvscholar.bsky.social interviewed CANADIAN legend Catherine O'Hara for @thecut.com about Apple's showbiz satire 'The Studio' and Schitt's Creek, of course. 💕 www.thecut.com/article/cath...

Luigi Mangione would love Common Side Effects btw www.thecut.com/article/revi...

afraid to tell tvscholar hive I'm thinking of watching The L Word (for the first time)

i know it's illegal to critique The Sopranos but why does Edie Falco get like nothing to do in the early seasons (so far). sometimes she's barely in an episode rip

should I be blueskying more...what are the vibes where is everyone at

the more time goes by since HOW TO DIE ALONE's cancellation the more I think about what a shortsighted decision that was. what a shame.

hoping to watch less shows about crime, murder, and cops in 2025...give me a surrealist slow burn gay yearning auteur dramedy or something 😭 the stakes are too damn high. I'll even settle for an emotional family drama, what happened to those!

the concept of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip (basically RH All Stars) is so much better than its execution, which ends up being quite boring as a watching experience — except for the bits where they reflect on their experience as housewives, but that could be explored in a different format imo

the way this genre is evergreen: “When a series of murders begins in the neighborhood,” Peacock’s logline teases, “Mickey realizes that her personal history might be related to the case.”

this diva #Heartstopper

thank you for having me!!! can't shut me up about RHOSLC these days omg...

a fantastic leading cast (Julianne Nicholson, try not to say mother challenge FAILED) didn't make up for a mystery/conspiracy that was a bit womp womp for me. less colloquial thoughts in my review of Hulu's Paradise for @thewrap.com: www.thewrap.com/paradise-hul...

can I go to a sauna/cold plunge studio (spa?) and just use their sauna or will they get mad at me

thinking about this newsletter i wrote two years ago www.tvscholar.com/p/why-isnt-e...

the gay agenda (pushing Big Boys in my column)

BIG BOYS was dropped unceremoniously on Hulu last month and I could not rest until I wrote about how much I love this queer show with uncanny parallels to my own life: for the first entry of my Appointment Viewing column in 2025 for @thecut.com www.thecut.com/article/revi...

obviously I'm more TV-focused in my work, but I go out of my way to watch as many films as I can during this season for my @dorianawards.bsky.social ballot and I'm so proud of our nominations this year! nextbestpicture.com/the-2024-dor...

wish I could tell my Pretty Little Liars-watching teen self that I'd get to chat with Spencer Hastings some day www.thecut.com/article/troi...

mid TV is so over: I rounded up 40 shows worth keeping tabs on in 2025 for Harper's Bazaar www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film...

a charcuterie board hates to a Real Housewife coming

[whispers] I think I want to try writing full-time this year...

Kevin Alejandro talks about the friendship he had with the late Nelsan Ellis from co-starring as boyfriends on True Blood from the tv scholar newsletter (www.tvscholar.com/p/whats-arca...)

this Dune Prophecy finale is TOO. LONG.

TCA EOY Spotlight: "This entry in my monthly 'Appointment Viewing' column for The Cut marks nearly two years covering television for them as a freelance columnist," says @tvscholar.bsky.social, "and for a show that I think is one of the best this year has to offer." www.thecut.com/article/say-...

what about vaping at the club!

having to watch shows that don't hit as hard as My Brilliant Friend/Somebody Somewhere/Industry/Pachinko...sigh

Me: What show is your partner not allowed to watch without you? Teyonah Parris: You about to start some mess. @thecut.com www.thecut.com/article/teyo...

"remember when Cole Escola cosplayed as Susan Sarandon on Search Party" usually just gets me blank stares

so Apple TV+ has 9 days to get it together

Brian Jordan Alvarez made it big this fall with his FX series ​‘English Teacher.​’ He brought his friends along with him — except one, Jon Ebeling, who says that Alvarez assaulted him​ on the set of ‘Caleb Gallo.’ www.vulture.com/article/bria...

well

I kind of need the Beth/Rip Yellowstone spin-off to be about them being forced to move to a big city

Apple is like from now on all of our shows have to start with the letter S

where’s the Stargate reboot…let’s have THAT conversation

reboots announced in the last week or so: -Prison Break -Friday Night Lights -Scrubs -Malcolm in the Middle (?)

we *need* empathetically told stories about trans youth on television immediately www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

i’m enjoying *not* seeing views on here. like that’s truly none of my business

no one: the evil voice inside my head: rewatch My Brilliant Friend you fool

what's haunting me lately: the last few episodes of MY BRILLIANT FRIEND's fourth season use score tracks that are *not* on Max Richter's official released soundtrack and do not register as anything when Shazamed. SOS

there's something uniquely embarrassing about forgetting to change my default Canadian spelling ("favourite" "colour") to American spelling before my editor gets to it lol

If you need a dash of romance reality TV in between seasons of The Bachelor and Love is Blind, try #Netflix's The Boyfriend. It's great—and far more grounded in reality than most dating shows.

here's a mid season reminder to check out GET MILLIE BLACK on HBO, which I think stands out in the oversaturated crime drama genre as something special. my thoughts in Appointment Viewing for @thecut.com: www.thecut.com/article/get-...

not to be dramatic but this imagery is all over my feeds already except it's real and in Gaza so I had to stop watching Lioness this season, I just couldn't handle it (especially the rah rah American imperialism/mowing down the unnamed ethnic other of it all). Homeland PTSD

spraying my holiday cards with my signature perfume so my friends can smell me when they get lonely this holiday season

she's talking about me and she's so right

the amount of spy and detective shows rn are making me feel like I'm watching the same things but in different fonts
