The good news: Netflix officially announced that Fuller House has been renewed for a fifth season. The bad news: the announcement was accompanied by a short video featuring messages from the cast declaring they’ve saved the best for last. Season five will be the family-friendly show’s final season.
The cast of the Full House sequel includes Candace Cameron Bure as D.J. Tanner-Fuller, Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner, Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibbler, Juan Pablo Di Pace as Fernando, Soni Nicole Bringas as Romona, Michael Campion as Jackson, Elias Harger as Max, Dashiell and Fox Messitt Twins as Baby Tommy, Scott Weinger as Steve Hale, John Brotherton as Matt Harmon, and Ashley Liao as Lola.
The Netflix series is a Miller-Boyett Productions, Jeff Franklin Productions, and Warner Horizon Television production. Jeff Franklin and Bob Boyett are the executive producers.
The Plot:
“In the spinoff series, Fuller House, life can take you into unexpected directions and also back into familiar territory when veterinarian and recently widowed D.J. Tanner-Fuller finds herself living in her childhood home with younger sister and aspiring musician Stephanie Tanner and DJ’s lifelong best friend/fellow single mother Kimmy Gibbler. The women reuniting to help support one another navigate careers, parenting and relationships with the kind of love and humor you can only get from the people you grew up with.
The Tanner childhood house is fuller than ever though with not only DJ’s three boys — the awkward 13-year-old Jackson, neurotic 7-year-old Max and baby Tommy Jr. — but also Kimmy’s feisty teenage daughter Ramona and Kimmy’s not so estranged ex-husband Fernando all under the same roof. Returning for its second season, the family experiences a new year of life’s moments big and small from the start of a new school year, to budding romances to coming together for the holidays. There’s nothing like spending Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s with the people you love, because life is fuller with family.”
Fox’s new competition series Mental Samurai will make its debut in the time slot behind MasterChef Junior season seven’s premiere. Season one of Mental Samurai, a series Fox describes as “the first-ever obstacle course for the mind,” will kick off on Tuesday, March 5, 2019 at 9pm ET/PT.
Rob Lowe is hosting and producing the series which comes from A. Smith & Co. Productions, Warner Horizon Unscripted & Alternative Television, and Apploff Entertainment. Noah Bennett, Jeff Apploff, Toby Gorman, and Arthur Smith are executive producing.
“When I was 15, I won big on The $10,000 Pyramid,” explained Lowe. “I’ve loved mental competition shows ever since. For me, Mental Samurai is addicting. Every time you play, you think: THIS time I’m gonna win! But this very simple game is almost impossible to crack. Also, as a producer, I’m excited to get into this new arena.”
“Mike Darnell and Arthur Smith are two of the most innovative and creative minds in unscripted television whose collaborations have been responsible for so many attention-grabbing FOX hits,” stated Rob Wade, president, Alternative Entertainment and Specials, Fox Broadcasting Company. “Along with our incredibly entertaining host, Rob Lowe, they are the ideal partners for this one-of-a kind high-velocity competition series that takes the game show genre to the next level.”
The Mental Samurai Plot:
“Each episode of Mental Samurai is an epic television event, as contestants battle the boundaries of their minds to answer questions accurately with speed and precision. Not only does the course test their acumen in categories of knowledge, memory, puzzles and sequencing, but players will also have to contend with being physically transported around the set at high speeds in a specially designed capsule capable of rotating 360 degrees. In MENTAL SAMURAI, people from all walks of life will compete, and underdogs will triumph, in the game that anyone can play, and almost no one can win.”

More on The Twilight Zone, Courtesy of CBS All Access:
“The original The Twilight Zone premiered on Oct. 2, 1959 on CBS. The series took viewers to another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. The Twilight Zone became a worldwide phenomenon as it used socially conscious storytelling to explore the human condition and culture of the times. It was a journey into a wondrous land of imagination for five years on CBS, from 1959 to 1964. The godfather of sci-fi series, the show explored humanity’s hopes, despairs, prides and prejudices in metaphoric ways conventional dramas could not. Every episode of the original series is available to stream now on CBS All Access.”
Fox’s The Resident season two continues with episode 13 airing on Monday, February 4, 2019 at 8pm ET/PT.

Meanwhile, Dr. Mina Okafor continues to work with her larger-than-life mentor, Dr. AJ Austin. However, the skills of new ortho surgeon Dr. Kitt Voss could lead Mina on a different path.

AMC’s giving fans of Killing Eve another outlet for viewing season two episodes. The new season will air simultaneously on BBC America and AMC beginning April 7, 2019 at 8pm ET/PT.
“When we launched Killing Eve on BBC AMERICA last year we had high hopes, but no idea it would become this obsession,” stated Sarah Barnett, President, Entertainment Networks for AMC Networks. “We believe we’ve just hit the tip of the iceberg in terms of potential viewers and we want to expose this brilliant series to the largest audience we can. That’s what’s behind this move… to have a big, premium network like AMC introduce this fantastic storytelling to an even broader array of viewers and fans.”
Season one of the critically acclaimed drama earned Critics’ Choice, Screen Actors Guild, and Golden Globe awards. The series was also nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards.
Killing Eve also pulled off a feat no other series has managed over its first season, increasing its viewership over each new episode. The first season finale was seen by 1.25 million viewers which was, according to AMC Networks, an 86% increase over the series premiere.
The cast is led by Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh. Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Gina Mingacci and lead writer Emerald Fennell executive produce the drama based on the Codename Villanelle novellas by Luke Jennings.
Executive producer Damon Thomas, Lisa Brühlmann, and Francesca Gregorini directed episodes of season two.
The Plot:
Killing Eve revolves around Eve (Oh), an MI6 operative, and psychopath assassin Villanelle (Comer) in this story of two women, bound by a mutual obsession and one brutal act. In the second season, the action picks up just 36 seconds after the end of the final episode of season one. Villanelle has disappeared and Eve is left reeling, having no idea if the woman she stabbed is alive or dead. With both of them in deep trouble, Eve has to find Villanelle before someone else does…but unfortunately, she’s not the only person looking for her.
Fox’s weird competition series featuring singers as well as celebrities who can barely carry a tune will return for a second season. The Masked Singer has just been renewed for season two after debuting as this season’s highest rated new series and the highest rated new unscripted show.
According to the network, 17 million viewers have watched the show’s first episode which aired on January 2, 2019. Nick Cannon hosts the show and Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Joel McHale, and Robin Thicke are the panelists who try and figure out the celebrities hiding beneath the masks.
The popular (and addictive) series is based on the South Korean hit series created by Mun Hwa Broadcasting Corp. Craig Plestis (Minute to Win It) developed it for the U.S. and executive produces with Izzie Pick Ibarra (Dancing with the Stars). Alex Rudzinski (Grease: Live) directs. Host Nick Cannon is also a co-executive producer.
“The response to The Masked Singer has been fantastic and we are thrilled to bring it back for another season,” stated Rob Wade, President, Alternative Entertainment and Specials, Fox Broadcasting Company. “I am so happy to see a singing Peacock burst into pop culture! The Masked Singer is unique, bold, original and embraces the DNA of all the best FOX unscripted shows. We look forward to Season Two being even more fun, weird and wonderful than the first.”
The Plot:
The Masked Singer features celebrities facing off against one another with one major twist: each singer is shrouded from head to toe in an elaborate costume, complete with full face mask to conceal his or her identity.
With each performance, the host, panelists, audience, viewers and even the other contestants are left guessing who is singing behind the mask. Ranging from Grammy Award winners to legendary athletes, and everything in between, the singers may attempt to throw the crowd off of their scent, while keen observers might pick up on tiny clues buried throughout the show. One singer will be eliminated each week, ultimately revealing his or her true identity. It’s not a “whodunit,” it’s a “whosungit!”
There’s finally movement on the long-awaited television series adaptation of The Stand. CBS All Access announced today that they’ve greenlit a 10 episode limited event series based on the bestselling Stephen King book.
“I’m excited and so very pleased that The Stand is going to have a new life on this exciting new platform,” stated author Stephen King. “The people involved are men and women who know exactly what they’re doing; the scripts are dynamite. The result bids to be something memorable and thrilling. I believe it will take viewers away to a world they hope will never happen.”
Josh Boone and Ben Cavell are on board to write and executive produce the limited series. Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) is also confirmed to direct. CBS Television Studios is producing, and Roy Lee, Jimmy Miller and Richard P. Rubinstein are executive producing. Owen King is on board as a producer and Will Weiske and Miri Yoon are co-executive producers.
“I read The Stand under my bed when I was 12, and my Baptist parents burned it in our fireplace upon discovery. Incensed, I stole my Dad’s FedEx account number and mailed King a letter professing my love for his work. Several weeks later, I came home to find a box had arrived from Maine, and inside were several books, each inscribed with a beautiful note from god himself, who encouraged me in my writing and thanked me for being a fan,” said Josh Boone. “My parents, genuinely moved by King’s kindness and generosity, lifted the ban on his books that very day. I wrote King a cameo as himself in my first film and have been working to bring The Stand to the screen for five years. I’ve found incredible partners in CBS All Access and Ben Cavell. Together with Stephen King, Owen King, my longtime producing partners Knate Lee and Jill Killington, we plan to bring you the ultimate version of King’s masterwork.”
“With over 400 million books sold around the world, Stephen King is one of our greatest living authors and The Stand is widely considered the crown jewel of his work. Millions of fans have been waiting for a modern interpretation that delivers on its depth, scope and ambition,” said Julie McNamara, Executive Vice President, Original Content, CBS All Access. “We are thrilled to be working with Stephen, Josh, Ben and a dedicated team working passionately to bring this brilliant material to life.”
The Plot:
The Stand is Stephen King’s apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil. The fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.

AMC’s unveiled new photos from the upcoming second half of season nine of the zombie drama, The Walking Dead. The first half of the season saw the departure of Andrew Lincoln as Rick and the death of Jesus, played by Tom Payne. Plus, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) is off on some mission and has left her friends behind. The different communities were estranged, and everyone seemed to be angry at Michonne for some unexplained reason.
The second part of season nine will premiere on Sunday, February 10, 2019 at 9pm ET/PT. Surviving cast members going into the second half include Norman Reedus, Danai Gurira, Alanna Masterson, Ross Marquand, Josh McDermitt, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
Angela Kang is the showrunner and executive produces with Scott M. Gimple, Robert Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, Dave Alpert, Greg Nicotero, Tom Luse, and Denise Huth.
The Walking Dead Season 9 Part 2 Plot:
The second half of The Walking Dead Season 9 finds our groups of survivors, both old and new, continuing to deal with the impact of events that took place during the six years that have passed. Since the disappearance of Rick, many of these characters have become strangers to each other, and in some ways, strangers to themselves. What they do know is that they are in undeniable danger. They will soon realize the world just beyond does not operate as they thought.
The group’s rules and ways of survival no longer guarantee their safety. A whole new threat has crossed their paths, and they soon discover it’s unlike any threat they have encountered or endured before. The group will start to question what they think they see. What may appear to be normal in this post-apocalyptic world could actually be more disturbing and terrifying than when the apocalypse first broke out. All that is certain is the stakes are high and numerous.

“All you do is, you transmit your brain waves into Grace’s memories, right? And then you lead her consciousness out of a nexus portal and Grace awakens,” says Sherloque (Tom Cavanagh) to Barry and the rest of Team Flash as Barry gets ready to try to bring Grace out of her coma to get Cicada to stop killing metas in season five episode 12 of The CW’s The Flash.
As episode 12 begins, Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy) is making another entry in her journal for Gideon to send to Thawne. She’s not sure how much longer she can keep secrets from her family and she notes how it feels as though she’s hurting them.
The next scene is with Team Flash out on ice skating rink having fun. Barry (Grant Gustin) races an unsteady Nora around the rink and Ralph (Hartley Sawyer) tries not to fall as he attempts to stay with Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker). Meanwhile, Sherloque is skating rings around them all. (It’s great when they have these short little fun outings with Team Flash to keep the show from getting too serious).
Ralph tells Iris (Candice Patton) that the space across the hall from his old P.I. office is vacant and she should be able to get a good price to rent it out and turn her blog into a real newspaper. (You could almost hear the groans from bloggers who recognize the dream of renting space and starting a print newspaper isn’t possible on just advertising dollars alone.)
Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Sherloque receives a memory machine from his Earth. It’s the device he used to catch the Mad Hatter and should let someone from Team Flash venture into Grace’s mind and, hopefully, bring her out of her coma. Sherloque informs Barry it needs to be two people together to watch out for each other. And, he tells them about the two drawbacks to his machine. The first is that it’s possible to get trapped in the mind of the person you’re entering. The second drawback is that the machine will sometimes give the passengers access to each other’s minds.
Sherloque suggests the two speedsters team up and go in. Barry is fine with that but Nora looks sick about that suggestion. Nora’s afraid Barry might see her memories and find out her big secret that Eobard Thawne is her mentor!
Ralph asks Cisco (Carlos Valdes) to help him talk to an informant he doesn’t trust. The informant might know where Cicada is held up, so Cisco reluctantly agrees even though he wants to get back to working on the meta cure.
Nora talks to Gideon to see if there’s anything she can do to make sure Barry doesn’t see her memories. Gideon claims there isn’t. Nora then notices Sherloque has activated the tech on Grace’s EEG so she decides to go into Grace’s memories alone and bring her out solo.
Nora goes in and finds herself in a memory of when Grace was at the CCPD after her parents died. Nora talks to Grace and tries to convince her to come with her and that she’ll take her to a place she will feel better. Grace finally agrees and as they head to the portal to leave it closes trapping Nora in Grace’s memories.
Back at S.T.A.R. Labs, Sherloque realizes what Nora has done and calls Barry and Iris who come right away. Caitlin prepares them to go in after Nora. However, Barry and Iris end up going into Nora’s memories – not Grace’s.
Nora’s in Grace’s mind and asks to be taken to a different memory. Grace takes her to her uncle’s home where he’s making pancakes for breakfast. Orlin (pre-Cicada) acts uncharacteristically happy and positive in Grace’s memory.
On a different side of the city, Ralph and Cisco are at a bar talking to Ralph’s source who it turns out doesn’t know anything about the meta-killing Cicada but only about Sicada, the local bad rock group. Ralph tells Cisco he’ll buy him a drink and Cisco realizes Ralph set him up to have a guy’s night out. He gets mad and tells Ralph he’s being selfish.
Barry and Iris look around Nora’s memories, searching for the portal to get out. They come across The Flash museum of the future in Nora’s mind and Barry’s impressed and flattered by all the memorabilia – action figures, posters, keychains, hats, T-shirts, comics, and, of course, commemorative copies of the newspaper with the front page story “Flash Missing.” Sherloque and Caitlin are monitoring Barry, Iris, and Nora and realize Barry and Iris are in Nora’s memories and not in Grace’s.
In Grace’s memories, she’s enjoying breakfast with Orlin. Nora quietly watches but soon realizes the place the portal might be is Grace’s last memory. She asks Grace to take her to the memory of the fair.
Barry and Iris find a Hall of Villains in Nora’s memory and Barry gets upset that his enemies have their own wing in his museum. As they walk through, they discover that Cicada never gets caught and his body count is up to 152 in the year 2024. If that wasn’t bad enough, Iris and Barry witness a painful memory of Iris finding young Nora at the museum and being furious at her for not saying where she was going.
Iris is shocked and upset watching her future self break Nora’s The Flash action figure while yelling at her that they’ll never visit the museum again. Barry tries to tell Iris it’s not really her and if she doesn’t want that to be a memory for Nora, she can change it. Iris truly wants to believe that but is scared because she tried earlier to get the newspaper set up and the only title she could legally use is the “Central City Citizen” – the same paper that has that haunting headline about The Flash vanishing. Iris tells Barry she hoped if she could at least change the title of the paper maybe that would be enough to change the future. Unfortunately, she thinks the future is already set.
Grace takes Nora to her last memory, but it’s not the fair. Instead, it’s when Orlin is at her bedside and he becomes Cicada, swearing to kill all the metas. Apparently, Grace can hear what’s happening around her in her coma. Grace reveals she knows Nora is a meta and her uncle, who loves her, hates all metas.
Over at the biker bar, Ralph confesses to Cisco that all he wanted was to have a night out with a friend. Ralph leaves to get Cisco an Uber ride after apologizing. While Ralph’s gone a cute bartender starts to flirt with Cisco, giving him a drink on the house.
In Nora’s memories the suit of the Reverse Flash has come alive and is looking for Barry and Iris. The suit’s Nora’s defense mechanism and it has come alive because Nora is fearful in Grace’s mind. This is because Grace sends her defense mechanism after Nora – a blonde-haired Cicada. So, Nora’s running from the blonde Cicada and Barry and Iris are avoiding the Reverse Flash suit.
Caitlin uses her device to talk to Killer Frost to connect with Barry and Iris. She then patches in Nora as well. Caitlin tells them the portals to get out are hidden in false memories. Barry realizes the false memory was the Hall of Villains where Iris was horrid to young Nora. They return toit and witness the real memory – that Iris was loving and comforting to a very upset little Nora who dropped her toy figure and broke it. The Reverse Flash suit shows up and Barry and Iris tag team it. The portal opens and Barry and Iris go through.
Blonde Cicada has corned Nora in the false memory of Orlin making pancakes for Grace and is going to stab Nora with the dagger when Barry comes out of the portal into Grace’s mind. He slams blonde Cicada into the wall. He grabs Nora and they go through the other portal with Iris.
Barry, Iris, and Nora all wake up in S.T.A.R. Labs and Caitlin heaves a sigh of relief and says, “They’re okay.”
Caitlin informs Team Flash that Grace has a piece of shard from the satellite in her brain. The doctors left it in, worried it would kill her if they removed it. The energy from the shrapnel is protecting her from them entering her mind again. Nora draws the inside of Orlin’s home so that Team Flash will have a layout of it.
Barry asks Nora why she went in early and she makes up the excuse that she thought she could handle it. Sherloque suggests it was also so she could keep her secret. Everyone looks at Nora with a question on their faces and Nora, wide-eyed, is let off the hook by Sherloque who says Nora didn’t want Iris to see all the sad memories she had of her mother. Nora quickly agrees and walks off with Iris. Sherloque asks Barry what form Nora’s defense mechanism took and Barry reveals it was the Reverse Flash.
Iris shows Nora and Barry an image that indicates she will start her newspaper. Barry’s thrilled for Iris but has to leave to find Cisco. Nora apologizes to Iris for all the incorrect memories and for not giving her a chance earlier when she first introduced herself to them.
Barry finds Cisco showing off the cute bartender’s number to Ralph and asks him if he’s close to making a meta cure. Cisco claims h is and Barry reveals he wants to use it on Cicada.
Nora enters another journal log to Thawne. She’s decided she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her parents, even if it means lying to them.
The Flash Season 5 Episode 12 Review:
Repetitive, unoriginal, and uneventful, season five episode 12 titled “Memorabilia” basically does a mind/memory enter storyline and chase similar but nowhere as interesting or thrilling as the series did in last season’s finale when Barry entered DeVoe’s mind to save Ralph and to stop The Enlightenment. One of the few flaws of season five is the use (and now overuse) of scenes, images, and ideas that are basically reruns of ones originally used in an earlier season. It’s great that The Flash has made it past it’s 100th episode, but the series needs to stop copying and repeating itself and move forward with new challenges, original ideas, and thrilling new fight and action scenes.
It also doesn’t help the show that in this episode nothing gets resolved or unveiled. They go round and round only to end up exactly where they were before entering Grace’s mind. Nora still has her big secret and Grace is still in a coma. Nothing was accomplished. The whole episode was pointless.
With Cisco close to a meta cure and Barry wanting to use it on Cicada, it should be interesting to see how Team Flash feels about forcing a cure on a meta.
