GMMR TV Awards: Best Series Finale (Unplanned) – Vote Now!

After two weeks of Give Me My Remote readers nominating their television favorites from the past year, it’s time to vote for the 5th Annual GMMR TV Awards!

Most of the categories have five nominees, but due to ties, the number can vary per topic. (And, as a reminder, each category can only have two nominees per show, so only the top two vote-getters from any series moved forward to the voting round.)

Next up: “Best Series Finale (Unplanned).”

Take a look at your nominees and then vote for your choice below!

Marisa’s Top 14 Episodes of 2014

For my top episodes of the year, I did something different this year: I didn’t let myself choose anything from my top shows of 2014. There are certainly shows there that could (and maybe should) have installments listed here, but considering how much television I watch, I wanted to expand the field of shows versus just going over (again) why I loved the top shows.

The following episodes aren’t ranked (they’re listed alphabetically), but I did note which one would have been number one if I had gone that route…

And have you seen Sarah and Kelly’s lists, too? Check out Sarah’s top shows and top episodes, as well as Kelly’s top shows and top episodes.

What was your favorite show this year?

A TO Z: What You Need to Know About the New NBC Series

There are a ton, ton, ton of new shows launching this season, and it’s going to get difficult to keep track of them all.

To help you out, for every new show, I’m going to basically create a hub of info on the day of the premiere — pilot photos, what’s been written about it so far, and when you can watch it.

Next up, A TO Z…

A to Z | 9pm on NBC

Series Premiere: This is the A-to-Z story of Andrew (Ben Feldman) and Zelda (Cristin Milioti) — a pair that almost wasn’t — and all that happened from the day they met. When a computer glitch sends her a total mismatch, she’s asked to come in for an interview at the internet dating site where Andrew works, and this is where it all begins. Andrew and Zelda meet for the first time and despite their differences, sparks fly. She thinks it’s chance. He thinks it’s fate and is convinced she’s the shimmering girl in the silver dress he saw several years earlier. Also starring are Henry Zebrowski, Lenora Crichlow, Christina Kirk, Hong Chau, Parvesh Cheena and Katey Sagal as the Narrator.

A TO Z: Cristin Milioti, Ben Feldman, and Ben Queen on the Show’s Early Digital Launch

A TO Z became the first 2014-2015 pilot to debut online pre-launch (and if you haven’t watched the premiere, you should watch it ASAP), but of course, being first out of the gate comes with its own set of nerves.

“I think it’s scary and exciting,” A TO Z star Cristin Milioti (Zelda) told reporters during a panel on the show’s set. “It’s wonderful to know the people who are behind the show are that excited about it. And I’m someone who has a TV, but I sat in front of my TV the other night, and I watched DRUNK HISTORY on Hulu instead of turning on the television. So, that’s how I watch most of the things that I watch. So I think it’s very smart [to launch this way].”

“It separates us from all the shows that are coming out in the fall,” A TO Z creator Ben Queen added. “There are so many shows coming out. I don’t know what to watch!”

But yes, there are a bit of nerves going around now that the show is officially out in the universe.

Watch the Pilot for NBC’s A TO Z Now!

The upcoming television season is very hit-or-miss in terms of new comedies, but one of the very best is available for viewers to watch now: NBC has teamed up with iHeartRadio to debut their new series A TO Z exclusively online starting today. (And the online version of the pilot will include 90 seconds that won’t be featured in the broadcast premiere.)

“NBC is very excited to partner with Clear Channel on this first-ever digital opportunity that will give viewers and audiences a chance to fall in love early with A TO Z,” said Len Fogge, President, Marketing and Digital, NBC Entertainment in a statement. “Viewers today love to customize their viewing experience – deciding not only what to watch, but when and how – and we couldn’t imagine a more fitting project than A TO Z to debut in this innovative way.”

A TO Z follows a young duo Andrew (Ben Feldman) and Zelda (Cristin Milioti) through all the ups and downs of their burgeoning relationship. (I hesitate to say too much about the pilot in order to avoid ruining it, but needless to say, it’s not as simple as it seems.)

Curious about the pilot? Watch it now!

A TO Z at TCA: Ben Queen and Cristin Milioti on Achieving ‘Genuine Chemistry’

When a series revolves around a couple in a relationship, one of the most important things to get right is the costars’ chemistry. And while some actors have to work to get things on track, for A TO Z costars Cristin Milioti and Ben Feldman, the sparks were there from the start.

“When they got together in the room to actually do the network test, they had literally met each other an hour before, and it was real electric,” A TO Z  creator Ben Queen told reporters during the show’s Television Critics Association press tour panel. “You could see it. There was real genuine chemistry between these two that I’d been told that this thing existed, and it’s real.”

Which 2014-2015 Television Trailers Are You Rewatching?

One of the best parts about the Upfronts is we traditionally get our first looks at the new shows that will be populating our television screens during the upcoming season.

Of course, the trailers aren’t always an indication of how the show will turn out — great shows have had terrible trailers, and terrible shows have looked significantly better thanks to a great trailer. But for now, there are a few trailers I’m obsessing over for the new television season.

NBC Announces 2014-2015 Schedule

Wow, NBC is shaking everything up.

The network has released its schedule, and PARKS AND REC (which will have its final season next year) is midseason TBD, THE BLACKLIST (this year’s big breakout hit) will be moving all over the schedule (and getting the post-Super Bowl spot), and the Thursday comedy block is gone.
