Cheers to Gotham
for its batty ending. Fox’s April 25 series finale was a biff-bang-pow! joy fueled by a full-on Joker, Ben McKenzie’s subtly seasoned Gordon and a mostly unseen Caped Crusader who seemed up for the job of protecting our beloved city.
Jeers to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
for going to the dogs. Usually, we’re all about the Bravo ladies’ pack mentality, but their complaining about Dorit dumping a pooch and Lisa (pictured) seemingly leaking the story has us ready to be put down.
Jeers to The Daytime Emmys
for being shut out by the networks. Again. The annual celebration of TV’s early shift has been relegated to airing online since 2016, even though the shows honored—like big winner General Hospital—all run on broadcast or cable. Nice way to take care of your own, folks!
Cheers to Jeopardy!
for finding a winning way to keep us tuning in. With his $1 million-plus run and often off-putting demeanor, contestant James Holzhauer (pictured) has—without question— given the game-show staple some real buzz.
