I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do on The Kennedys!”… Jan Lachowycz disagreed with Joy Behar’s views of The View, which the talk-show host discussed in our April 18 issue [The Logan Report]. “I find it interesting she thinks hostility on previous seasons was due to…

SEASON FINALE Friday, May 6, 10/9c, CBS Sunday dinner with the Reagan family is about to get more heated than usual. No, Blue Bloods viewers shouldn’t expect swearing or punching, but the CBS drama’s sixth-season finale features a volatile case involving police brutality against minorities that tests the familial civility during the weekly meal at the stately Brooklyn home of NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck). Those family dinners, a hallmark of each episode, are a big reason for Blue Bloods’ ongoing popularity: In its sixth season, the show has won every Friday-night ratings race it’s been in, averaging 10.5 million viewers who watch live. “Legal and police cases drive the episodes,” says executive producer Kevin Wade, “but we’re careful to choose stories where there’s a built-in dilemma for our…

@TVGMLogan Not Guilty…Again! DOES THE TRIAL of the 20th century need a do-over? Investigation Discovery has gone into production on Hard Evidence: O.J. Is Innocent, a six-part docuseries— based on the findings of famed private investigator William C. Dear—that claims the real killer of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman is still out there. Sure, this show might sound about as crackpot as Fox’s Alien Autopsy (which Dear also had a hand in), but ID Group President Henry Schleiff swears it’s no scam job. “Like many people, I was convinced O.J. Simpson was guilty of the murders, but what we’ve uncovered has really given me pause,” Schleiff says. “Bill has what he believes is the actual murder weapon. There is also new forensic evidence and an eyewitness never interviewed at…

@damianholbrook CHEERS TO GOTHAM for going totally batty. From Oswald (Robin Lord Taylor) turning his step-sibs into main courses to Nygma (Cory Michael Smith, above) unleashing his inner Riddler to Hugo Strange (BD Wong) and his grisly Arkham experiments, this year’s rise of the villains has lifted the comic book series to insanely fun new heights. CHEERS TO THE REAL O’NEALS for really cracking us up. We’re probably going to hell for saying this, but the Irish-Catholic shenanigans of Martha Plimpton’s pious mom (left, with Jay Ferguson and Matt Shively) and her mess of a family are the answer to our prayers for a perfect companion to Fresh Off the Boat. CHEERS TO BETTER CALL SAUL for getting even better. The Breaking Bad prequel’s Season 2 finale served up Emmy-worthy…

@TVGMMattRoush SILICON VALLEY, Sundays, 10/9c, HBO VEEP, Sundays, 10:30/9:30c, HBO When Mel Brooks (spoofing France’s doomed King Louis XVI) sang “It’s Good to Be King,” he obviously knew better. Consider the plights of Veep’s accidental President Selina Meyer and Silicon Valley’s embattled tech visionary Richard Hendricks in new seasons of HBO’s best comedies. Uneasy lie these heads of state and cutting-edge data compression, but their misery is the stuff of great satirical mirth. Conjuring a nightmare scenario that almost makes this year’s political circus seem normal, Veep finds the pathologically narcissistic prez (Emmy darling Julia Louis-Dreyfus) “trapped like a Saudi housekeeper”—one of the show’s few printable quips—in a reelection stalemate, with an Electoral College tie forcing a recount in Nevada. The pressure brings out the worst in characters who have…
