Cheers & Jeers for December 25 by Damian Holbrook
Cheers to James Corden
for being Uber to the arts. Whether he’s hosting the Tonys or strapping in Broadway’s best for “Carpool Karaoke,” nobody drives attention to the theater like the Late Late Show star.
Cheers to Madam Secretary
for making elections great again. Honestly, we’d sit through an entire season of Elizabeth (Téa Leoni) and Dalton (Keith Carradine) smartly maneuvering for the POTUS spot.
Jeers to A Reboot
that doesn’t have us over the moon. No CBS, you do not need to bring back The Honeymooners. First off, there is NO improving on Jackie Gleason. And secondly, Kevin Can Wait, Last Man Standing, Man with a Plan and Dr. Ken have the whole “buffoons with smart wives” thing covered for now.
Jeers to That NCIS Twist
Even if Cote de Pablo couldn’t appear in Michael Weatherly’s final episode, killing her Ziva off screen and revealing she’d kept Tony’s daughter a secret from him wasn’t just a needless character death… it was character assassination.
