Sorry, Team 7 — This Is 'Naruto's Best Squad

Emmanuel Ronquillo — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 14:31:14 GMT

The world of Naruto is dangerous, and to survive, ninja operate in four-man teams out in the field. In a shōnen anime as colorful as Masashi Kishimoto's, the teams depicted in the series are rife with plenty of exciting combinations of characters, abilities, and interpersonal relationships that make them incredibly endearing and entertaining. Understandably, the squad that receives the most spotlight is Team 7, which features big names like Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. When your team consists of two future Hokages, the last living member of the Uchiha clan, and the next generation's greatest medical ninja, the hype and limelight make sense.

The Worst 'Pretty Little Liars' Episode Isn't the Series Finale

Jay Snow — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 04:16:16 GMT

For seven seasons of Pretty Little Liars, Aria (Lucy Hale), Hanna (Ashley Benson), Spencer (Troian Bellisario), and Emily (Shay Mitchell) were stalked, hunted, tortured, and otherwise harmed by a nefarious hooded figure operating under the moniker “A” (or A.D. in the flash-forward episodes). Of course, this started with the supposed death of their best friend and Rosewood’s resident mean girl Alison DiLaurentis (Sasha Pieterse), who eventually returned, very much alive, to a town forever changed and an enemy more dangerous than ever. Many agree that the quality of the series took a dive in the later seasons, particularly after the five-year flash-forward began (which this writer admittedly loved), and that the series finale — in which Spencer’s long-lost evil twin sister Alex is revealed as the final villain — is the worst episode of the show. However, while the finale certainly has its issues, there’s one episode that’s worse: “Game Over, Charles” (Season 6, Episode 10).

Kate Bosworth Is a New Kind of Western Hero in This Underrated TV Series

Jordan Todoruk — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 01:31:15 GMT

Bring on the Dancing Horses is a neo-noir Spaghetti Western series written and directed by Michael Polish that earned a place among the official selection list at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. Kate Bosworth plays The Woman, a mysterious assassin who kills her way through an entire family. An expert with a gun, her greatest asset is her compassion, making her an entirely different kind of Western protagonist. The series is a darkly comic inversion of the typical male-dominated Western and a refreshing solution to an enduring problem with female protagonists in the genre.

‘Everybody Loves Raymond’s Best Character Isn't Ray

Shawn Van Horn — Thu, 04 Jan 2024 03:31:15 GMT

Everybody Loves Raymond was one of the best sitcoms of the '90s and early 2000s. It's Seinfeld meets Home Improvement, with some of the most over-the-top and self-centered characters, all of whom are related, and many who live under the same roof. The Barones aren't exactly the most likable people in the world. Frank (Peter Boyle) is angry and Marie (Doris Roberts) is overbearing. The titular star, Raymond (Ray Romano), has lived a coddled life that's turned him into a dolt who thinks of himself first. One member of the family isn't as bad as the others. Older brother Robert (Brad Garrett) is the suffering one, an odd duck who gets some of the biggest laughs for his eccentricities. He's also the only one in the family who is easy to like most of the time. He's not without his faults, but Robert Barone is the heart and soul of Everybody Loves Raymond.

There Was a Lot Missing From the `Married at First Sight Denver' Midseason Recap

Christal Jordan — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 16:00:13 GMT

The Denver season of Married At First Sight has been extremely disappointing for viewers as two divorces were filed before the couples moved into their shared apartments. From a runaway bride to a couple in crisis, Denver has offered far more disconnections than connections with the selected couples. Host Kevin Frazier was joined by entertainment journalist Gary Gerard Hamilton, Senior Director of Partnerships with Essence, Nicole Haynes, Senior Entertainment Writer for Variety, Angelique Jackson, and Comedian and Podcaster Sarah Fraser. Nicole and Angelique have been returning panelists for the MAFS audience, joining Kevin for pre-season predictions and often re-capping the season with predictions before decision day. All four panelists are self-proclaimed MAFS fans and are well-versed in the show's nuances and culture.
