Details on Fox’s New Summer Series:

CRIME SCENE KITCHEN is a culinary guessing game in which bakers are tasked with decoding what type of dessert was made, when all that’s left are the crumbs, flour trails and a few elusive clues. They must then recreate the recipe for celebrity judges, chef Curtis Stone and cake artist Yolanda Gampp, who will determine how closely their sweet treat matches the missing dessert – and how good it tastes!

HOUSEBROKEN follows a group of neighborhood pets and stray animals as they work through their issues inside and outside their therapy group. HONEY (Kudrow), a standard poodle, opens her living room for the group to come and support each other through the misery, mayhem and majesty that is being a pet. Honey also struggles with her own problems, such as her arranged (by her human) marriage with CHIEF (Faxon), a sloppy St. Bernard who enjoys eating socks and licking himself.

The group includes SHEL (Forte), a sex-positive tortoise with intimacy issues and a knack for choosing unconventional partners; TABITHA (Sharon Horgan), an aging Persian cat beauty queen, trying to adjust to life off the cat show circuit; THE GRAY ONE (Jason Mantzoukas), a street smart cat who lives with about thirty other cats and has his one eye on Tabitha; CHICO (Richardson), a chonky, co-dependent and very naive cat; and the group’s newest member, DIABLO (Hale), an anxious, sweater-wearing terrier whose OCD causes him to hump everything twice.

Among the group’s other members are ELSA (DuVall), a power hungry, know-it-all Corgi, and fake service dog, who drives Honey crazy; NIBBLES (guest voice Bresha Webb), a psychopathic hamster who is mourning the loss of her mate (whose face she ate…and everyone knows it); MAX (Hale), George Clooney’s pig, a former actor and current status obsessed a-hole; BUBBLES (guest voice Greta Lee), a horny, teenage goldfish who lives with Honey and Chief, and heckles the animals any chance she gets; TCHOTCHKE, a silent, and possibly magical, slow loris with a mysterious past, who uses a tiny cocktail umbrella to express his emotions; and JILL (guest voice Maria Bamford), Honey and Chief’s human owner.

Housebroken is an irreverent look at human behavior, but told through the filter of an offbeat group of neighborhood pets. Throughout the series, the show centers on the pets’ dysfunctional relationships and their skewed world view, while exploring relevant societal issues in fun and unique ways.

FANTASY ISLAND takes place at a luxury resort, where literally any fantasy requested by guests is fulfilled, although they rarely turn out as expected. Delving into the “what if” questions — both big and small — that keep us awake at night, each episode will tell emotional, provocative stories about people who arrive with dreams and desires and depart enlightened and transformed through the magical realism of Fantasy Island.

‘The Flash’ Season 7 Episode 6 Recap: “The One With the Nineties” Review

The Flash Season 7 Episode 6 — Michelle Harrison as Nora Allen, Grant Gustin as Barry Allen, Candice Patton as Iris West – Allen and Danielle Panabaker as Caitlin Snow in ‘The Flash’ season 7 episode 6 (Photo: Katie Yu © 2021 The CW Network, LLC)

Time travel, time loops, and parental loss are the main focus of season seven episode six of The CW’s The Flash. The episode begins with a young woman walking out of Jitters, talking on her phone, and noticing a T-Rex is walking toward her down the street. Understandably, she screams.

Next up is a flashback to 22 hours prior at S.T.A.R. Labs. Barry (Grant Gustin) is resting and recharging after all the dealings with the newborn Speed Force and the new powerful entities that have been unleashed in Central City. Speed Force Nora (Michelle Harrison) is worried about Barry and her own safety against the entities, but Cisco (Carlos Valdes) is working on a device that will give them a warning if any of the new bad guys get close to S.T.A.R. Labs.

Chester (Brandon McKnight) arrives and geeks out over meeting Nora. He quickly recovers and gets to work with Cisco on finishing the device.

Meanwhile, Caitlin (Danielle Panabaker) comes home to her apartment to see Frost (also Danielle Panabaker) organizing some of her stuff. That gets on Caitlin’s nerves a little.

Just outside of Central City, Cisco and Chester are about to test their device when they’re hit by a large green energy wave. After a few minutes, they try to call S.T.A.R. Labs to check in but notice their cell phones are gone along with the company van.

Cisco throws a rock and it hits a green force field. He realizes he and Chester are in some sort of power dome. They decide to head to Masonville, the nearest town inside the dome. Chester actually lived there until he was 11. As they enter the town and look around at the buildings (including a Blockbuster), they realize they’ve time-traveled to the year 1998.

Chester thinks it’s incredibly cool, but Cisco’s more concerned about getting back to their own time. The two geniuses think about their situation and realize a new power force must be responsible for their situation and that he or she can control or at least manipulate time. Chester and Cisco believe the Time God, as they nickname him, might be at the local high school, so Chester grabs some horrible ’90s clothes so they can blend in. Their plan is to act as though they’re recording a video for the yearbook.

There’s a fairly lame montage of the two questioning students which leads them to the football team’s water boy who they think might be the time-controlling entity. Suddenly they get hit with another green wave. They end up back where they were when they first entered the town, but Cisco thinks he’s seven years old and doesn’t recognize Chester.

Chester’s able to snap Cisco out of it by bringing up movies, like The Matrix, and the television show Game of Thrones. They quickly realize Chester was protected by their tech device which was ruined by the wave. That means their most urgent task is to find parts to repair it since they’re trapped in a time loop. Chester shares with Cisco that they’re repeating the day he last saw his dad before he died in a car accident a few days later.

Cisco realizes Chester’s hurting from the memory and asks if he wants to talk to his dad. Chester says he shouldn’t, acknowledging he can’t try to save him because it will alter the timeline. He also confesses he was never close to his father because his dad was always traveling to sell his inventions.

Back in the present day, Iris (Candice Patton) takes Speed Force Nora to her apartment and shows her Barry’s favorite old blanket that he’s had since he was a little boy. Iris shares with SF Nora that there’s still a lot she doesn’t know about Barry’s mom because it still hurts him to talk about her, with the memories always leading him back to the day she was murdered.

Upset by this revelation, SF Nora disappears.

Iris finds SF Nora at Jitters and Speed Force asks if it’s hurting Barry by taking the image of his mother. Iris assures the Speed Force it isn’t and says it’s a gift to Barry.

Back in 1998, Chester changes his mind, visits his dad, and attempts to buy his latest invention – an X76 power converter. Chester’s dad apologizes and says he can’t have it, tossing it into the trash. He reveals his son will be looking for that and he wants him to find it while he’s on his trip. The scene continues with Chester finding out that all the traveling his father did was to support him. Leaving different things for him to find during his childhood was his dad’s way of encouraging Chester to “find treasure where others only see trash.”

Moved, Chester hugs the man who doesn’t realize that adult Chester is his son. It becomes a little awkward.

Chester’s dad offers to help him build what he needs and the two make the device together.

A little later, Cisco and Chester return to the high school and are confronted by Dion, the star football player who it turns out is the Time God. He knows they’ve been messing with his time loop and gets angry, releasing another large green energy wave that this time hits Central City.

At S.T.A.R. Labs, Team Flash assembles to work the problem. Frost is dressed like a hippie from the late 1960s. Iris looks like Foxy Brown from the 1970s, Joe (Jesse L. Martin) looks like a detective from the 1950s, and Caitlin’s dressed like a high school principal from the ’80s. Joe asks what’s happening and Caitlin tracks the energy coming from Masonville and says it’s a time wave that’s picking random decades. Iris remembers Cisco and Chester went to Masonville and she hopes they’re handling whatever’s going on.

Back in 1998, Chester talks to Dion who it turns out is bitter about how his life turned out since he didn’t become an All-Star professional football player. Chester explains no matter how many times Dion tries to change it, he won’t be able to alter his past because it has become a fixed point in time. Dion listens and stops building his next energy wave. Chester suggests with his new power he focus on the future and Dion gets a creepy look on his face and says he’ll focus on everyone’s future. With that, he disappears.

Cisco and Chester end up back in present day.

Over at S.T.A.R. Labs, Barry’s awake and his vitals are good. Barry tells Team Flash that Dion being able to control time makes him the most powerful force yet. Cisco nicknames him “The Still Force” and names the other two entities “The Strength Force” and “The Sage Force.”

Cisco and Caitlin head off to meet Kamilla at Jitters and Chester goes off to work on his dad’s last project on his own. Iris invites SF Nora to spend the night with her and Barry at their apartment and she happily agrees. As she and Iris leave together, Barry looks on with a concerned look on his face.

In the final scene of the episode, Joe returns to S.T.A.R. Labs looking for Frost. He warns her about Kramer and the Governor hunting for her due to all her past crimes. Frost looks annoyed and says, “I’m not that person anymore.” Joe asks her to lay low until he can convince Kramer of that. Frost tells Joe that she won’t do that and if Kramer wants to come after her she can “bring it on.”

The Flash Season 7 Episode 6 Review

Silly, goofy, and more than a tad ridiculous, season seven episode six – “The One With the Nineties” – has the show bordering on being camp, which it never has been and should never become. The episode also suffers because the main character, The Flash, is asleep during almost the entire episode. Grant only has two scenes and one of those is him sleeping. Whenever the series focuses on a supporting character and moves Gustin’s Barry Allen onto the sidelines, the episode suffers greatly.

Another problem with the episode is that other primary characters – Frost, Caitlin, Joe, and even Iris – are barely in it. They only show up in two or three short scenes reacting to what’s happening over in Masonville.

The time-traveling element and being stuck in the ’90s felt more like an homage to films like Hot Tub Time Machine and Back to the Future rather than a true plot device to move this season’s storyline forward.

After identifying and renaming the new power entities threatening the new Speed Force and Team Flash, we can only hope the show gets back on track while focusing on a way to defeat them as well as how to help Frost with her new enemy, Kramer.

First Look: ‘The Sons of Sam’ Documentary Series Trailer

April 7, 2021

Did David Berkowitz act alone? Are there murderers wandering the streets responsible for deaths attributed solely to Berkowitz? Netflix’s documentary series The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness, which just released its first trailer, explores the possibility Berkowitz wasn’t the only one responsible for terrorizing New Yorkers in 1976 and 1977.

The Sons of Sam is set to premiere on Netflix on May 8, 2021.

The documentary series consists of four 60-minute episodes. Sara Enright is the showrunner and executive produced with Zara Duffy, Dave Sirulnick, Jon Kamen, Josh Braun, and Dan Braun. Joshua Zeman directed the four episodes and also executive produced.

The Plot, Courtesy of Netflix:

The hunt for the “Son of Sam” captivated the world in the late 1970s, but the story behind one of America’s most notorious serial murderers is all but forgotten — until now. While the arrest and conviction of David Berkowitz brought the nightmare to an end for many New Yorkers, for journalist and Ultimate Evil author Maury Terry, the real mystery was just beginning.

Terry, convinced Berkowitz had not acted alone, would go on to spend decades attempting to prove that the web of darkness behind the murders went deeper than anyone imagined – and his pursuit of that elusive truth would eventually cost him everything.

Filmmaker Joshua Zeman (CROPSEY, MURDER MOUNTAIN) draws on archival news footage, conversations with the people closest to the investigation, and Terry’s own words and case files to tell a cautionary tale of a man who went down a rabbit hole and never came out. But was Maury Terry just chasing ghosts – or are the true Sons of Sam still out there…

Missy Peregrym and Zeeko Zaki lead the cast as Special Agent Maggie Bell and Special Agent Omar Adom ‘OA’ Zidan. Jeremy Sisto stars as Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, Alana De La Garza is Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille, and John Boyd plays Special Agent Stuart Scola.

Episode 11 guest stars include Adrienne Rose Bengtsson, Ben Jeffrey, Rob Campbell, Steven Michael Marcus, Marcus Choi, and Benton Greene.

“Brother’s Keeper” Plot: After a man is killed by an explosive package shipped to his home, the team attempts to capture the sender and intercept his latest deadly parcel. Also, Maggie tries to trust her younger sister, Erin (Bengtsson), is truly staying out of trouble as a new college student in NYC.

Series Description, Courtesy of CBS:

FBI is a fast-paced drama about the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe.

Born into a multigenerational law enforcement family, Special Agent Maggie Bell commits deeply to the people she works with as well as those she protects. Her partner is Special Agent Omar Adom ‘OA’ Zidan, a West Point graduate via Bushwick who spent two years undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the FBI. Overseeing them is Special Agent in Charge, Isobel Castille, who operates under intense pressure and has undeniable command authority.

The team also includes Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, the nerve center of the office whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator. Newest to the team – and the FBI – is smart and outspoken Special Agent Tiffany Wallace, who spent six years with the NYPD and is now partner to Special Agent Stuart Scola, an Ivy League-educated Wall Streeter-turned-FBI agent. These first-class agents tenaciously investigate cases of tremendous magnitude, including terrorism, organized crime, and counterintelligence.
