Who’s watching Fresh Off the Boat? Last night I tuned in and wasn’t disappointed. If you want to be entertained, check out Fresh Off the Boat.

I see Dr. Ken regularly. Now, Fresh Off the Boat is my new favorite sitcom. This season, the Fresh Off the Boat crewmates are rocking in the same boat. No one is jumping ship either because tides are running high.

ABC is doing a good job catering to a diverse population. Modern Family, The Goldbergs, and Blackish are cornerstones of the established TV network. With a little more marketing, Fresh Off the Boat could improve its ratings.

I believe Constance Wu is a beautiful Asian actress. If I were running this show, I would broadcast her image and likeness everywhere. Also, she’ll get more lines under my production and direction.

It’s difficult trying to increase a TV show’s ratings. It’s a brutally competitive business. The best way to boost ratings is through innovation.

Like many comedy shows, Fresh Off follows a formula. If we add a variable, then we should expect a different outcome. Maybe, adding a few more recurring characters can do the trick. For instance, comedian Margaret Cho (Dr. Wendi) plays Ken Jeong’s sister.

Right now, Randall Park (Louis Huang) and Hudson Yang (Eddie) carry the weight of the TV show. I don’t propose changing this father and son dynamic. However, we must utilize all of our available resources in order to produce the most profitable situation.

I promise you’ll have fun watching Fresh Off the Boat because of all the creativity. The latest episode was called “Huangsgiving.” Constance Wu’s character (Jessica) was chosen by her mother to “host” Thanksgiving. I won’t spoil it for those who haven’t seen it. You can watch the full episode by visiting here. Give thanks.

Is Samuel L. Jackson overrated? Is Laurence Fishburne underrated? In this article, I will underline their similarities and differences.

First, I don’t believe Jackson is overrated. You can’t deny that he is dependable. There’s a reason the actor ranks #1 at the box office all time grossing over $11 billion.

Samuel L. Jackson aka Nick Fury is The Negotiator too. Did you know the actor is an avid golfer? Give Jackson credit for his people skills. Plus, actors enjoy working with him.

Do you ever wonder what’s in Samuel L. Jackson’s wallet? According to the Richest, the celebrity’s net worth is $170 million. What is more, the hard worker earns every penny.

Now, Laurence Fishburne is underrated. We’re talking about Morpheus from The Matrix, here. He is a premium quality actor, who deserves an Oscar.

I feel Fishburne lost valuable roles to Denzel Washington through the years. While Tinsel Town is a town big enough for both of them, these CEOs love cutting corners. Hopefully, Hollywood reverses course before it’s too late.

Film students should study Fishburne. When it comes to drama, few actors can compare to his greatness. Although Samuel may have a farther driving range, Laurence’s acting range is one of the best in showbiz. Do you want proof? Check out What’s Love Got to Do with It, Akeelah and the Bee and Contagion.

Can you believe both actors launched their careers in 1972? The main difference is Laurence Fishburne received immediate acclaim. Thus, the actor played in more movies from the onset. In contrast, Samuel L. Jackson received more roles later on in his career.

I greatly admire Samuel L. Jackson and Laurence Fishburne because they continue teaching upcoming talents. Applaud Jackson for all of his amazing accomplishments. And give Fishburne recognition for Blackish.

These Old School actors offer an avenue for the New School. There’s nothing new under the sun, right? That’s why Hollywood remakes movies every decade. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to remake one-of-a-kind actors like Samuel L. Jackson and Laurence Fishburne.

Who’s Watching the Emmys? Guru Jay’s Preview

Before the Emmys air tonight celebrities are preparing speeches, making last minute adjustments, and putting on their final touches. Celebs can’t neglect a single detail because they might lose treasured scripts. Advertisers are evaluating endorsements. If their Hollywood stars gleam, we’ll see new contracts.

Here’s an analogy for college students. What the Oscars are to movies, the Emmys are to television. TV buffs should tune in tonight.

These are the most talented nominees ever. This year Netflix was the game changer. Netflix earned 34 nominations. Are you a House of Cards, Bloodline, and Derek fan? How couldn’t they nominate a President?

Have you noticed how many prominent movie stars recently received TV shows? It’s great for TV but bad for movies. Unfortunately, it appears actors are being overworked.

Emilia Clarke from Game of Thrones earned Best Supporting Actress in a Drama. Also, I expect the HBO TV show will win more awards than all others. Without Game of Thrones, TV would be pointless.

Both Blackish and Empire were nominated. Anthony Anderson received a nod for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, while Taraji P. Henson was chosen for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama. Everything Lee Daniels touches turns to gold. So, I believe Henson will come away victorious.

3 months ago I proposed this question: Who is the funniest Amy? The Emmys may answer my inquiry since Amy Poehler and Amy Schumer are competing for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. I’m not Nostradamus. Edie Falco from Nurse Jackie could get it?

Why do the Emmys nominate new and outgoing shows? Also, an established show like Scandal should collect honors before newbie American Crime. Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire deserved recognition while they aired.

Even casual viewers will enjoy seeing Hollywood stars at the Emmys @ 8 PM.

Taraji P. Henson Vs. Tracee Ellis Ross: Who’s Watching Empire and Blackish?

I reserve Wednesday nights for Taraji P. Henson and Tracee Ellis Ross. TV turn-ons Tracee and Taraji bring a lot to the table. It’s unfair Empire and Blackish airs at the same time.

Who remembers Baby Boy and Girlfriends? Baby Boy is a movie starring Tyrese Gibson as lead actor, and Taraji P. Henson is lead actress. The film features Snoop Dogg and Omar Gooding (Cuba’s younger brother) in key roles. Moreover, Ross plays the lead character in Girlfriends, one of TV’s longest running shows. Fan crazed Game sitcom came from Girlfriends.

It’s wonderful turning on the TV and seeing two dynamic actresses. I believe Taraji P. Henson is one of the best actors in the business. Who’s seen the Curious Case of Benjamin Button? I also acknowledge Tracee Ellis Ross as one of the best comedic actors.

People are fascinated by Tracee’s long legs and hair and Taraji’s perfect silky skin. The beautiful actresses are the backbones of their respective shows. The Empire TV show causes millions of eyeballs to pop from astonishment. And, Blackish simultaneously creates ear popping effects from relentless laughter.

What’s will happen after Halle Berry’s Extant comes back this summer? Hopefully, you have On Demand, or someway to catch everything. With the intro of 3D/ Smart TVs, does it take a rocket scientist to figure out the best acting is returning home?

I believe the TV bubble will burst in 5 years. Show business is saturated and too competitive. If it stays like this, you’ll see a Screen Actors Guild strike.

Despite my reservations, Taraji P. Henson will always have a job on TV or in film. In case you’re wondering, I prefer Empire over Blackish. But, it’s unacceptable that the shows air during the same time slot and day. I like Tracee but the Blackish Girlfriend can’t compete with His Imperial Majesty and Cookie.
