Will Reba's New Sitcom Be A Reunion? Will CBS Sports Track Taylor's Jet? Who Spied Dean Winters On Spade? Did Traitors' Dan Misfire? More TV Qs!
We've got questions, and you've (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we're lobbing queries left and right about lotsa shows including Reba McEntire's new sitcom, Saturday Night Live, The Traitors and Chicago Med!
1 | After all this time, why haven't networks figured out a better audio solution for the music during ice skating competitions? (The songs during the women's free skate at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships sounded so tinny and far away!)
2 | During CBS' Super Bowl weekend coverage that Saturday, do you think they'll have some NORAD-like Santa tracker for Taylor Swift's flight from Japan to Las Vegas? (Also, she is technically time traveling, right?)
3 | Who wants to tell the folks at Saturday Night Live that CBS' Blue Bloods has always aired Fridays at 10/9c? And that So Help Me Todd airs Thursdays at 9 pm? ▼ (Or were they purposely trying not to outright promote a well-watched rival network?) Also, was Dakota Johnson referring to Please Don't Destroy as "The Lonelier Island" among the best burns ever? And were you surprised she didn't bring up the fact their previous film got "cut for time"?
4 | The Way Home fans, how badly did Kat and Elliot's argument hurt you? And given the serious/troubled looks Kat and Elliot had on their faces while at the Lingermore estate, what do you think went down there?
5 | On True Detective, were you surprised Warner Bros. execs didn't insist producers change Det. Navarro's preferred streaming service from Netflix to Max?
6 | Monsieur Spade fans, did you get whiplash when you saw Dean Winters, aka 30 Rock's sleazeball Dennis, playing a Catholic priest?
7 | If Reba McEntire's new NBC sitcom doesn't cast Melissa Peterman (aka Barbra Jean) as "the half-sister she never knew she had," what's even the point?
8 | When did The Bachelor start putting the week's most dramatic scene at the very beginning as a teaser, and can they stop doing that, please? Plus, does Evalin's insane dive over the wedding reception table go right into the Hall of Fame of wild Bachelor moments?
9 | When Next Level Chef's season premiere intro touted it as "the toughest culinary competition," were you like, "Hmm, don't all Gordon Ramsay shows claim that...?"
10 | On The Irrational, were we supposed to think that the fire marshal — who used to be a firefighter himself — believed that the alcohol in a few spiked seltzers (or whatever Izzy and Chris were drinking) was enough of an accelerant to cause the damage to that empty house?
11 | After Percy Jackson and the Olympians' young hero called Zeus' family a mess to his face — and with his whole chest — is it safe to assume that the "a" in his last name stands for audacity?
12 | Did you do a double take when Arrowverse vet Neal McDonough showed up on this week's Extended Family as a traffic cop? (Neal McDonough... on a sitcom??)
13 | If La Brea's 2021 Scott was lazily ordering pizza delivery for lunch, what made Ty think that he had cheddar and brie handy in his fridge for a grilled cheese sandwich? Also, did the CGI for that dam scene ▼ scream "Tomb Raider video game puzzle"?
14 | Good Trouble fans, did you enjoy the show's murder mystery-themed birthday celebration? Or did the shtick start to grate?
15 | Does FEUD: Capote vs. the Swans not trust us to remember that it's set in the mid-70s? Is that the reason for that focus-pulling, Polaroid-like filter? And what was the point of including Phyllis Diller ▼ at Joanne Carson's disastrous Thanksgiving if not to let her have appropriately outsized reactions to the scene that Truman Capote brought with him?
16 | How is Chicago Med's Dr. Ahmad still employed when she's gotten into trouble with her superiors multiple times already?
17 | Was The Young and the Restless making an early bid to take home the "prize" for Worst Green Screen in our 2024 Year in Review with Ashley's visit to Paris?
18 | If The Traitors' Dan was certain he was going to throw one of his fellow traitors under the bus, should he have set his sights on Parvati instead of Phaedra? Also, was Peter's plan (that ultimately sank Dan's game) possibly the best move made on the series yet?
19 | What was Farmer Wants a Wife Season 2's Mitchell thinking, deigning to show up not wearing a cowboy hat?! We are a society with rules.
20 | In Suits: LA, is anyone else curious to see how well (...or not) Vancouver passes for (typically) sunny Los Angeles? Why not film again in Toronto (à la the original series), which made for a reasonable New York City?
21 | Safe to assume Larry David won't be invited on Sesame Street any time soon?
