Bull Series Details, Courtesy of CBS:
Bull stars Michael Weatherly as Dr. Jason Bull in a drama inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw, the founder of one of the most prolific trial-consulting firms of all time. Brilliant, brash and charming, Dr. Bull is the ultimate puppet master as he combines psychology, human intuition and high-tech data to learn what makes jurors, attorneys, witnesses and the accused tick. His personal life proves harder to manage as he tries to live a healthier lifestyle following a heart attack and learns he is expecting a child with his ex-wife.
Bull employs an enviable team of experts at Trial Analysis Corporation to shape successful narratives down to the very last detail. This includes his quick-witted former brother-in-law, Benny Colón, a lawyer who acts as defense attorney in the company’s mock trials; Marissa Morgan, a neurolinguistics expert from the Department of Homeland Security who monitors shifting jury reactions in real-time for Bull; former NYPD detective Danny James, the firm’s tough but relatable investigator; Taylor Rentzel, a working mother and former colleague of Marissa’s who is an expert in coding and computer hacking; and Chunk Palmer, a former all-American lineman and stylist-turned-law student who helps clients prepare their look and testimony for trial.
In high-stakes trials, Bull’s combination of remarkable insight into human nature, three Ph.D.’s and a top-notch staff creates winning strategies that tip the scales of justice in his clients’ favor.

It’s official – BTS will postpone their North American tour. Big Hit Entertainment made the announcement via Weverse on March 26, 2020, stating, “We would like to inform you that there will be some adjustments for the upcoming ‘Map of the Soul’ Tour – North America schedule in order to make sure that we put the safety of everyone involved first and foremost.”
The North American leg of the tour was scheduled to kick off April 25th at Levi Stadium. The tour was supposed to continue through early June, with June 6th in Chicago being their last stop on the North American tour.
Big Hit went on to say, “The tour will be rescheduled to a later date. All tickets will be honored for new dates. Information on new show dates will be shared as soon as possible.”
Big Hit continued the announcement, noting, “We are closely monitoring and following the guidance of all local governments regarding public events to ensure we are providing a safe environment for everyone involved as we continue to update our tour plans.”
BTS is scheduled to have two concerts in Fukuoka, Japan on June 28th and 29th. Their European tour then kicks off in London on July 3rd and ends July 18th in Barcelona, Spain. No word yet on the postponement or cancellation of those dates.
BTS had already canceled their Seoul concerts which were planned for April 11, 12, 18, and 19. Fans were refunded their money instead of rescheduling those particular concerts. Around the time the cancellation of the Seoul concerts was announced, it was reported BTS member Suga had donated 100 million won ($80,600 in US currency) to charity, which inspired many fans to follow suit and donate the money that was refunded to them. The charity of choice by Suga and BTS fans is the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association.
Although fans around the world are saddened by the news, many have shown their support and understanding during these difficult times.

ESPN’s set an April 19, 2020 premiere date for The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary series chronicling Michael Jordan and the 1990s Chicago Bulls. The series will air on Sunday nights beginning April 19th through May 17th.
Viewers outside of the United States will be able to watch the series on Netflix beginning April 20th.
“As society navigates this time without live sports, viewers are still looking to the sports world to escape and enjoy a collective experience. We’ve heard the calls from fans asking us to move up the release date for this series, and we’re happy to announce that we’ve been able to accelerate the production schedule to do just that. This project celebrates one of the greatest players and dynasties ever, and we hope it can serve as a unifying entertainment experience to fill the role that sports often play in our lives, telling a story that will captivate everyone, not just sports fans.” – ESPN
Jason Hehir (The Fab Five, The ’85 Bears, Andre the Giant) directed.
“Michael Jordan and the ‘90s Bulls weren’t just sports superstars, they were a global phenomenon,” said Hehir. “Making The Last Dance was an incredible opportunity to explore the extraordinary impact of one man and one team. For nearly three years, we searched far and wide to present the definitive story of an era-defining dynasty and to present these sports heroes as humans. I hope viewers enjoy watching our series as much as we enjoyed the opportunity to make it.”
The Last Dance Description, Courtesy of ESPN:
In the fall of 1997, Michael Jordan, Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf and head coach Phil Jackson agreed to let an NBA Entertainment film crew follow the team all season long. The result would be a remarkable portrait of an iconic player and a celebrated team – a portrait only now being revealed, more than two decades later, in The Last Dance.
As the series weaves its way through the tumultuous 1997-98 season, viewers will be transported back to how it all began – from Jordan’s childhood roots, the Bulls’ dire circumstances before his arrival and how the team was built after drafting him in 1984, to the struggles that eventually led to the team’s first NBA championship. As the series takes the audience through the Bulls’ first five championships, viewers will experience the off-court challenges, struggles and triumphs that were a part of the culture-shifting phenomenon created by Jordan and the Bulls.
It’s an unlikely scenario that serves as a fascinating backdrop for the inside tale of the 1998 championship run, with extensive profiles of Jordan’s key teammates including Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman and Steve Kerr, head coach Phil Jackson, and featuring dozens of current-day interviews with rivals and luminaries from basketball and beyond. All throughout, the tension and conflict that defined that final championship run are very much on display.

HBO’s The Plot Against America will finish up its limited run with three new episodes airing in April. HBO’s just released details on episodes four through six airing on Mondays at 9pm ET/PT and wrapping up on April 20th.
The six-episode limited series is based on the novel by Philip Roth and created by David Simon and Ed Burns (The Wire, Generation Kill). Simon, Burns, Nina K. Noble, Megan Ellison, Sue Naegle, Susan Goldberg, Joe Roth, and Jeff Kirschenbaum serve as executive producers. Philip Roth and Dennis Stratton are co-executive producers.
Series Details, Characters, and Cast, Courtesy of HBO:
The Plot Against America imagines an alternate American history during World War II, told through the eyes of a working-class Jewish family in New Jersey as they endure the political rise of Charles Lindbergh, an aviator-hero and xenophobic populist, who captures the presidency and turns the nation toward fascism.
The limited series stars Zoe Kazan as Elizabeth “Bess” Levin, an insightful mother and homemaker who fears for the future as she tries to protect her family amid the escalating political climate; Morgan Spector as Herman Levin, her proud and opinionated husband who works as an insurance agent and tries to maintain normalcy and assert himself as an American citizen even as his country seems to be slipping into fascism, anti-Semitism and xenophobic isolationism; and Winona Ryder as Evelyn Finkel, the unmarried, older sister to Bess whose own plans were arrested by years of caring for her infirm mother and is hungry to find her own place in life.
John Turturro is Rabbi Lionel Bengelsdorf, a politically conservative rabbi transplanted from Charleston, S.C. who seizes the reins of history to become a key figure in the emergent Lindbergh administration; Anthony Boyle is Alvin Levin, the angry orphaned nephew who allows his own sense of injustice and political differences with his Uncle Herman to carry him from the streets of Newark to the battlefields of Europe and then back again; Azhy Robertson is ten-year-old Philip Levin, the youngest of the Levin clan who copes with his own innocent curiosity and growing anxiety in a world that seems to be collapsing around him; and Caleb Malis plays Sandy Levin, the Levin’s artistic teenage son who rebels against his parents as his adolescence becomes entangled with his growing admiration for Lindbergh.

It seems Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) ignoring the latest calling could have deadly consequences for her family members in NBC’s Manifest season two episode 12, “Call Sign.”
Episode 12 begins with Michaela, Jared (J.R. Ramirez), and Drea (Ellen Tamaki) interrogating Jace and his two cohorts about their meth lab. They’re unwilling to talk and Jace seems to be aware of Michaela’s callings and taunts her that she should have let him go.
Michaela’s worried that if they don’t get one of them to talk, they’ll end up beating the charges. Jared suggests they try again early tomorrow, but Michaela says she can’t. She reveals she’s getting married to Zeke (Matt Long). Although surprised, Jared actually takes the news in stride and even says he’ll be there to support her decision.
A little later Michaela visits Ben (Josh Dallas) and Grace (Athena Karkanis) at their home to get ready for the wedding. The siblings watch a few old family movies and Michaela tells Ben she wishes their mom was alive to see her get married.
Zeke arrives at Michaela’s apartment and takes his shirt off while staring in the mirror. His reflection shows his chest covered in ice. He’s now only two days away from his death date.
Dr. Saanvi Bahl (Parveen Kaur) seeks out her boss to try to get her job back, but he informs her he actually has no say in the matter. It was someone in the government who pulled some strings to get her removed from her position.
Zeke tells Michaela she’s made him so happy and that it means the world to him that she’ll marry him. Michaela keeps thinking back to her mom and flashes on her saying that everyone, even those who have made mistakes, deserves happiness.
At the Stone home, Olive (Luna Blaise) and T.J. (Garrett Wareing) are spending time together when Olive notices he’s acting differently. She tries to talk to him about it but he assures her they can talk later.
Zeke and Michaela arrive at the Stone home for the wedding. Zeke talks to Cal (Jack Messina) who’s upset about Zeke’s death date. Zeke gets Cal’s mind off of it by telling him he’s his best man and has to throw him a bachelor party. They head upstairs to Cal’s room and end up eating junk food and playing Monopoly.
Ben has a calling and sees Flight 828 blowing up. He tells Michaela and Grace about it but doesn’t know what it means. Michaela gets it in her head that it’s connected to Zeke’s death date and Ben has to follow up on it. Ben decides he’ll go to where he saw the plane blow up to see if it leads to a clue.
A little later Michaela sees on television that the meth lab house exploded. She believes the calling wanted her to let Jace and his partners go so they would die in the explosion. By not listening, she accidentally extended their lifespans.
Jace and the other two men are being put on a bus to be transported to prison when Jared once again tries to question Jace, who threatens Michaela as he gets on the bus.
Ben arrives at the airfield where Flight 828 blew up and sees a man he recognizes as involved with 828. The man, Ward Atwood, tells Ben he’s also been seeing the vision of 828 exploding and believes what happened to the flight – the plane’s disappearance – is his fault because he rushed his inspection.
Back at the Stone house Zeke’s mother gives a family broach to Michaela for the wedding. She regretfully informs Zeke she won’t be staying since he invited his father who she still hasn’t forgiven for leaving her. Zeke implores her to stay for the wedding, finally admitting he’s dying. She becomes upset but he tells her that he’s blessed to be marrying the love of his life and wants one great day.
Saanvi calls Vance (Daryl Edwards) at the travel office he uses as a cover. It goes straight to voicemail.
On the bus en route to prison, one of the prisoners fakes a seizure and Jace and his partners are able to attack and knock out the guards. They escape.
Saanvi turns to Ben for help, informing him she was fired. She asks for help getting in contact with Vance. He gives her Vance’s wife’s address, believing she might know how to get in touch with her husband.
Ben and Ward go over notes and data and Ward realizes he’s not responsible for what happened to Flight 828. Feeling he has helped Ward, Ben starts to head back home for Michaela’s wedding when he has the calling of the plane blowing up once more.
Saanvi talks to Vance’s wife and asks her to call her hubby, but the wife keeps insisting her husband is dead and demanding Saanvi leave her alone.
Back at the Stone house, Zeke’s put on his tuxedo and asks his father to be there for his mother when he’s gone.
Meanwhile, Michaela’s having a hard time getting ready and talks to her father about her mom. He confirms her mother would have loved to see Michaela get married.
T.J. picks the wrong moment to inform Olive he’s going to Egypt. He applied for and received a grant to study there. Olive, justifiably, gets upset and walks away.
Jared walks in and sees Zeke. They shake hands and bury the hatchet. Jared gives his full support to the marriage of Zeke and Michaela.
Grace checks on Michaela and finds her pacing. Michaela can’t go through with it and wants to call off the wedding. Just then Ben comes in with their mother’s wedding veil. He explains a calling led him to it and it must be a sign.
Smiling, Michaela finally puts on her wedding dress and her mother’s veil and goes downstairs to marry Zeke.
Seeing Michaela in her wedding dress is too much for Jared and he leaves. Zeke and Michaela exchange vows and become husband and wife. A celebration ensues.
Outside, Jared drives off and doesn’t see Jace and his two partners sitting in a dark van just down the street.

Everyone’s having fun during the reception, dancing, taking photos, and of course enjoying the cutting of the wedding cake. A little later during the party, Michaela tells Ben she saw their mother sitting in a chair during the exchanging of vows which they wrote themselves. She believes it means she can choose her own path.
T.J. tells Olive part of the reason he wants to go to Egypt is to find more clues to the death date and find a way for him and everyone on Flight 828 to beat it. He invites her to go with him but she declines. She wants to spend time helping raise her baby sister and spend as much time with Ben and Cal as she can.
Saanvi tells Michaela she feels she’s failed Zeke and all the passengers on 828. Saanvi then receives a text from the travel office that her tickets are ready. She understands the coded message and leaves.
Zeke and Michaela say goodbye to everyone and drive off.
Saanvi arrives at the abandoned office and finds Vance who apologizes for getting back in touch so late. He explains the Major is cutting all cords to Saanvi’s research and that, as suspected, she had her fired. He believes she’s made a breakthrough with Saanvi’s research. He offers to help Saanvi disappear but Saanvi is determined to go after the Major.
Cal’s outside the house playing when Ben has the calling again about the plane blowing up. Three large dark shadows loom toward Cal.
The final scene of season two episode 12 shows Michaela and Zeke driving when she receives a phone call. Michaela answers and hear’s Cal yelling for help. Jace gets on the line and tells Michaela to get them back their stash or they’ll bury her nephew.

The CW’s Roswell, New Mexico season two episode three kicks off with a flashback to June 14, 1947 showing Nora (Kayla Ewell) emerging from her downed alien spacecraft. Hector Valenti introduces himself while dozens of soldiers have his back, guns drawn. Other aliens emerge and one sends a row of flames across the ground. It engulfs Hector, and the soldiers begin shooting as the aliens flee.
Nora’s hit but doesn’t follow the other occupants from the spaceship out into the desert.
Flash-forward to current events and Alex (Tyler Blackburn) catches up with Michael (Michael Vlamis) in the cave. He’s charging up Max’s pod and doesn’t seem super jazzed about Alex’s appearance. It turns out Alex is there to deliver more info about Michael’s mom. Someone’s hiding all the details behind a pretty tough firewall, and Alex asks for permission to keep digging. Michael tells him to dig on and even thanks him for not giving up.
Jenna Cameron (welcome back, Riley Voelkel!) returns to Roswell and nearly slams into Mimi (Sherri Saum) who appears out of nowhere in the middle of the road. Mimi claims she’s been “nowhere” and then looks up at the stars.
Michael cooks Maria (Heather Hemmens) a yummy omelet and apparently one of his many talents is that he’s a decent cook. She’s impressed and they get all flirty, but that cute moment’s interrupted by Isobel (Lily Cowles). She doesn’t mince words and asks if they’re living together, and Maria says Michael’s just parking in her lot.
Isobel doesn’t even want to try and picture what that means.
Maria takes off, super excited to learn her mom’s been found. Isobel thinks someone took Mimi, but Michael assures her Mimi wanders off and wasn’t hijacked by an alien.
Meanwhile, Liz (Jeanine Mason) is doing what she can to reconnect with Rosa (Amber Midthunder). She’s bought art supplies for her sister, but Rosa’s not cutting her any slack. When Liz tells her sister she loves her, Rosa doesn’t respond.
Jenna delivers Mimi to the hospital where she has an uncomfortable discussion with Sheriff Valenti (Rosa Arredondo). Jenna claims she’s okay with the sheriff dismissing her, but her facial expression says otherwise. Jenna’s shocked to learn that Max is missing.
Back at home, Isobel packs up family photos. An app informs her “the lentil” is now the size of a blueberry. She reacts to the news by swallowing more of the alien poison she stole from Liz. Is it the poison that causes her to have a vision of Max? Don’t know…but she does get a visit from her dead brother.
Max is disappointed she’s attempting to kill herself, but Isobel explains she’s only trying to get rid of the baby. She continues her conversation with Max all while telling him she knows he’s a figment of her imagination.
Jenna catches up with Michael and he tries to brush her off. He says Max is in Mexico, but no way does Jenna buy it. She reminds him she kept their secret and she lost her job because she took the blame for the gunplay during the big gala. She’s not about to put up with any lame lie about Max’s whereabouts.
Michael isn’t forthcoming so Jenna tries to guilt him into the truth, warning him if he continues to lie he’ll lose his allies.
Maria asks her mom to please explain where she’s been for a month. Mimi’s confused; she’s certain she’s only been gone one night. Maria and Mimi hug as Mimi assures her daughter she wasn’t hurt and feels fine.
Next, Jenna heads over to the Scooby gang’s secret lair. Liz is understandably shocked that Jenna is in town and that she knows about this lab. Jenna reveals Michael gave her the location but, apparently, he didn’t explain what happened to Max.
Liz gives Jenna a brief rundown on Max’s condition and her research into bringing cells back to life. She explains her goal now is to use her knowledge and the alien technology to accelerate Max’s recovery. Jenna’s overwhelmed by all this news about Max, and Liz offers some wine to help relax. Jenna’s got a better idea – she’s got whiskey in her car.
The two do a little bonding and Jenna introduces Liz to her favorite form of therapy – shooting a gun. Jenna recalls how Max used to make up goofy excuses whenever he missed a target. They laugh about his horrible Spanish and his macho ways. But then laughter turns to tears and it’s obvious how much Liz misses him. And just like that, sadness transitions to anger. Liz is pissed he didn’t ask her before bringing back Rosa and dying.
Target practice ends and they return to the lab. They’re still talking about Max and each explains when it was they learned about aliens.
Alex pays a visit to his dad, Jesse, in the hospital and apologizes for what they had to do. He offers his dad a morphine drip, if he needs it, and informs his dad he and Michael aren’t together anymore. He also reveals his brother left reports in the bunker about the night of the crash. Alex says he now understands how violent the aliens were and why they’re such a threat.
As Jesse self-medicates, he lets slip that Tripp was never the same after that night.
Rosa’s alone, drawing, when she hears Max. She grabs a bottle and starts drinking in order to make the voice go away.
Isobel’s also still hearing – and seeing – Max. She’s miserable from the poison but demands this imaginary Max answer her question. Did he know he was going to die when he brought back Rosa? When he responds, “I wouldn’t have left you,” she figures that’s exactly what a figment of her imagination would say.
He makes a valid point when he reminds her they need each other and would never choose anyone else over each other. He wants her to live.
Their talk’s broken up by the arrival of Sheriff Valenti. She shows Isobel photos of Noah’s body and Isobel throws up. The sheriff isn’t sympathetic and points out the evidence indicates someone – most likely Max – restrained Noah using police-issued handcuffs. Isobel excuses herself briefly and returns with a suitcase full of sex toys that includes handcuffs. Isobel confesses she stole them from Max because the plastic ones are too flimsy.
Imaginary Max returns after the sheriff leaves and claims he’s going to be scarred for life over learning about Isobel’s interest in S&M. He jokingly pleads with her to stop the sex talk – it’s way too much info for a brother to learn about his sister! Isobel laughs for a second and then sobs because of how much she misses him. His loss has left a massive hole in her life that can’t be filled. (This is an absolutely heartbreaking scene!)
Max extends his hand and as she reaches to touch it, she begins coughing up blood. She refuses to call for help and tells her dead brother that now she’s just like all the other girls. “Did you know that our city council just passed a resolution banning clinics? They call Roswell the last sanctuary city for the unborn. Just the unborn! We don’t have a women’s shelter,” says an exasperated Isobel.
Max admits their parents picked the wrong place to crash.
The siblings reminisce about their childhood. He believes she’d be a really good mom, but Isobel explains it’s not about being a mother; it’s about having Noah as the father. She must rid herself of the parts of him living inside her. She does, however, want to be a mother in the future. She also reveals she’s learned she’s the only one who will always come to her rescue and who will always love her.
Max completely understands.
The poison has done its job and Isobel’s soaked in blood. She’s weak and as Max yells at her to take the antidote she inadvertently knocks it off the table. She passes out before she can save herself.
Rosa, of course, refused to listen to Liz and has ventured over to the bar. She’s making so much noise in the back that she draws Maria’s attention. Maria spots Rosa, thinks she’s gone crazy like her mother, screams, and then cowers in the corner. She’s scared to death and Rosa tries to reassure her she’s real. Rosa asks, “Do you believe in aliens?”
Michael enters the bar and is, coincidently, about to tell Maria about aliens when he spots Rosa crashed on the seat next to her. Maria’s furious and beats on Michael’s arms as he tries to explain, refusing to be calmed.
Max enters Rosa’s dream asking for her help. She says his presence is getting stronger and he agrees. He begs her to help Isobel. He’s sure she’s dying.
Rosa calls Liz and says Max came to her again in a nightmare. He claimed Isobel was dying and although Liz is sure it’s just a dream, she assures a frantic Rosa she’ll go check it out. After hanging up Liz realizes she’s too drunk to drive. Fortunately, Jenna didn’t drink because she didn’t want to be drunk around Liz and a firearm.
Liz arrives and finds Isobel sprawled out on the floor, unconscious and in a large puddle of blood. Liz spots the antidote and quickly jams it into her chest.
A short while later, Isobel’s revived and apologizes to Liz for getting her involved. Liz understands and apologizes for Max losing his life while reviving Rosa. The mutual apologizing continues and Liz asks what Isobel needs. Isobel answers, “Max,” and Liz explains Max was in fact with her. Liz believes Michael’s been charging the pod and that Max is getting stronger. Isobel can’t believe it’s true, but Liz reassures her Max has not left her and he never will.
Isobel realizes she would have died if it wasn’t for her half-dead alien twin watching over her.
Maria visits her mom again, but this time she’s armed with the knowledge there are actual aliens from space in Roswell. Mimi holds up Maria’s necklace and assures her she’s protected. The necklace will keep her from getting lost. Mimi drifts off and Maria places her necklace around her mom’s neck.
Liz shows up at the hospital and Maria’s incredibly angry her friend kept the fact there are aliens in Roswell a secret all this time. Liz confesses she wanted to tell her sooner but thought she would feel safer if she was kept in the dark. Maria reveals she’s never felt safe in this town. She also explains that every month for the past 10 years she’s cleaned Rosa’s grave and talked to her spirit. She just did it and now she’s learned Rosa was probably hanging out watching Netflix while she was still grieving the loss of her best friend.
Maria needs time to process everything she’s learned.
Later at home, Rosa’s an emotional wreck and apologizes to her sister for everything that’s happened. (This is an episode jam-packed with apologies!) Liz strokes her sister’s head and says they’ll figure it out together.
And now we learn about the mysterious Tripp. Alex delivers what he’s just learned to Michael and the new information involves a soldier whose nickname was Tripp. A flashback shows Tripp (Jason Behr from the original Roswell series!) holding an injured Nora at gunpoint. She uses her mind to knock his gun away and escape. His notes from that time period explain they found Nora again not far away. She’d stolen one of their trucks and was fastening a rope around something in the back when they forced her to stop.
Tripp laid down his weapon and offered Nora help (complete with an “I come in peace” declaration), explaining he didn’t believe they crashed on Earth to hurt humans. He offered to look at her wounds and she allowed him to get close, but that was just a ruse. The soldiers grabbed her and then looked under the tarp. She’d been able to move the alien pods onto the truck bed and they glowed with a sort of light Trip confessed he’d never seen before on Earth.
The soldiers were distracted and that allowed the female alien who lit the fire earlier to return. She was incredibly powerful and even though she was shot in the chest, she held the men away from Nora, allowing them both to escape into the truck.
As the women drove away, Tripp understood at that moment what was happening. He could see the forms of children in the pods and realized this was a mother fighting for her children, as any mother would do.
Michael wonders if the other alien was Max and Isobel’s mother. Alex hasn’t found any information that would indicate whether she survived but promises to keep looking.
Michael shows Alex a photo of a woman who could be his mother. The photo was taken two days before she was captured and taken to the alien torture chamber. Michael has no idea why, if his mother fought for them so hard, she left them in pods to wake up 50 years later all alone.
The final scene explains what actually happened to the alien women after they escaped the soldiers. They pulled up to a house and the male occupant offered to help.

The Season 4 Plot, Courtesy of CBS All Access:
“Season four of The Good Fight finds Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart navigating a very different landscape. After they lost their biggest client, Chumhum, and their founding partner’s name was tarnished, Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart was forced to accept an offer by a huge multi-national law firm, STR Laurie, to become a small subsidiary. Suddenly, all of their decisions can be second-guessed by the giant firm that is literally on top of them.
While STR Laurie initially seem like benevolent overlords, we find Diane Lockhart and her colleagues chafing at their loss of independence while simultaneously investigating the emergence of a mysterious ‘Memo 618.'”
