Villainess Review: Marsha (Found)
A loaded day that included postseason baseball, the NHL's first three games of the season, and NXT and AEW going head-to-head one more time, also included one of NBC's newest shows, Found. I remember seeing the promo for the show and was already in; the series stars Shanola Hamption as Gabi Mosley, a recovery specialist who was actually an abduction victim 20 years prior, held captive by a man only referred to as Sir--who is played by Zack Morris himself, Mark-Paul Gosselaar. As the pilot episode revealed, Gabi and her other captive, Bella, escaped from Sir on their own, because--sadly--society didn't (and still doesn't) care when Black girls go missing. The end of the pilot revealed that Gabi was holding Sir captive in her basement, and he had been assisting Gabi in her cases.

Villainess Review: Marcy Eden (Perfect Strangers)
Even sitcoms aren't safe from the most heinous of villainesses. Genres that are most likely to feature villainesses include horror, thriller, crime dramas, science fiction, and especially political thrillers, but comedy is a rarity. A high-level villainess in a sitcom is in the same boat as a pitcher (not named Shohei Ohtani) hitting a home run (prior to the 2022 season), a perfect game, and a 60+ yard field goal. They are all rarities, but when they happen, it's a thing of beauty.

Reviewing a Pair of Sinister Villainesses from "One Night Stand Murder"
I had been looking forward to this film, One Night Stand Murder, for a few weeks since I learned about this movie being on Lifetime's list of September flicks. So after watching an intriguing Sunday Night Football matchup between the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots, I tuned in to this film, which started with the central protagonist, Alyssa Morgan, suddenly waking up next to a corpse, and with no memory of how she got there.

Reviewing Queen Latifah's Brief Heel Turn in "The Equalizer"
I love The Equalizer with a passion. Haven't seen the original series, but I've seen the Denzel Washington movies--I know his third one is out now, and I've been watching Queen Latifah's version since Day One, which came after CBS' telecast of Super Bowl LV. Since then, it's been a habitual occurrence every Sunday--I never miss an episode. I am anxiously awaiting for Season Four, I know a fourth season is coming, but I do not know what impact the ongoing strike will have on the fourth season. With all of that said, Season Three definitely had its moments, with the best one airing just one day after my (and series star Queen Latifah's) birthday.

John Ritter: Iconic Legend
20 years ago today, the world became a lot less bright. It was on September 11, 2003 that John Ritter passed away, and I remember how stunned I was when I heard the news that morning. I've been watching John Ritter since I was six years old, and yes, it was Three's Company. Like clockwork, when it was 6:00, I tuned into Three's Company, which had been in reruns by the time I entered this world.

Labor Day Weekend @ Cobra Kai
After so many years, I finally...finally watched Cobra Kai! But before I could watch a show I've been wanting to get into for a long while, I had to finally watch the actual films. It took a while, but I did just that, watching Parts I, II, and III of The Karate Kid, and even watching The Next Karate Kid in case there's a connection there.

"The Rookie" and "The Rookie: Feds" Cast on Celebrity Family Feud
I am a huge fan of Celebrity Family Feud; actually, I've been a fan of Family Feud overall since I was a kid, but that's another story for another time. The current iteration of Celebrity Family Feud has been part of ABC's usually summer collection of prime game shows for at least five years, and I've seen many great groups on this version currently hosted by the legendary Steve Harvey. TV show casts, athletes, comedians, and this season featured teams of WWE stars. Speaking of this season, the latest episode featured the casts of two of my current favorite shows: The Rookie and The Rookie: Feds.

The King of Showcases
Thirty seconds. That's how long I had my face in my hands when I read the news. In a week that has seen us mourn the losses of wrestling icons Terry Funk and Bray Wyatt, we are mourning yet another loss. Bob Barker, the longtime iconic host of The Price is Right, passed away on August 26, 2023--only 108 days short of his 100th birthday. Again, I buried my face in my hands for a half of a minute after reading this, because The Price is Right was a massive part of my childhood. The show was my jam. Still is.

Villainess Review: Ariande Conniver (The Serial Killer Seduced Me)
Man, oh man...where do I start?! Let me just say, I had my ultimate reason for being excited for this Lifetime film, originally titled, Picture Her Dead, now retitled, The Serial Killer Seduced Me. The film's central protagonist is Chloe Cochran, a practicing artist who works at a senior care facility. Her favorite tenant is Lillian, who happens to own a particular portrait, though she doesn't reveal much about the artist, or what the "V" on painting means or stands for. Chloe, with the permission of her friend/co-worker, Rona, receives the permission to pursue her dream, but after Chloe leaves, sadly, Lillian is murdered.

Villainess Review: Julia Byron-Kim (Dangerous Lies)
I remember learning about this movie three years ago, and two simple words hooked me: Camila Mendes. There's a rule I have: if someone from Riverdale has something out, I watch it. Camila Mendes is amazing on that show as Veronica Lodge, I think she's one of the true top stars on that show. So because of this, in 2020, I dove right in to this Netflix film, Dangerous Lies, which starred Mendes as Katie Franklin, a waitress who is married to Adam Kuttner, who saves Katie's diner from being robbed at gunpoint. Four months pass, and Katie is suddenly working as a caretaker for elderly Leonard Wellesley, and as for Adam, he ends up hired as Leonard's gardener after Katie vents to Leonard about their money problems.

Villainess Review: Judy (My Son Didn't Do It)
So far, the month of August has been pretty fruitful regarding Lifetime films, though the centerpiece of this month's action, IMO, has to be My Son Didn't Do It (originally titled, Catfish Murder). The film centered on Helen Parker, a widowed mother of two teenagers, Taylor and Gia, the former receiving an award for his academics, though Taylor isn't too crazy about prestiges. The family has a strong bond with another mother-son duo, Judy and Miles. In fact, Miles, Taylor, and Gia all attend the same school, with Miles being a big time soccer star. Judy, basically sees her son as the next Lionel Messi.
