You’re not imagining things: We are positively drowning in TV docudramas these days. The Girl From Plainville, Inventing Anna, The Dropout, The First Lady… if it made headlines or inspired a podcast, it’s probably on TV right now, with big stars lining up to play famous real-life figures (and earn an easy Emmy nomination). So

For the first time in “The Masked Singer” history, there’s a team working behind the scenes to help operate one contestant’s costume … resulting in a massive fail if the slightest thing goes awry.

To be fair, the 2022 Oscars had a very low bar to clear. This year’s ceremony had nowhere to go but up, honestly: Last year’s Oscars were a trainwreck (one that took place at a train station, ironically) plagued by sluggish pacing and a humorless tone. Viewership cratered, too, with an all-time low of 10.4

Sometimes a lack of expectations can be a good thing.

Blue Bloods quietly celebrated its 250th episode. Blue Bloods Season 12 Episode 16 didn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary.

Los Angeles local Amy Smart was in her early 20s when she blasted her way into the entertainment biz back in 2000 with some top-notch breakout roles including the college hottie Beth — who gets involved in a wild night of partying, sex and camcorders — in the 2000 college comedy “Road Trip.” Around that
