Almost Family Coming Under Fire From People Who Were Conceived In Real Life Doctor Sperm Scandals

by DE TEAM on



Fox’s new drama Almost Family has a rather wild premise revolving around a group of people sharing a father due to a sperm donor scandal, but what’s even more wild is that there are quite a few individuals living in America that are real-life products of such scandals. Victims and children of fertility fraud are now speaking out about the way the show is handling the sensitive topic, and they’re not happy.

A group of adults who were products of fertility fraud committed by Dr. Donald Cline and Dr. Kim McMorries have shared their thoughts on Almost Family, and the general consensus is they view the Fox series as “horrifying.” Many are upset with the way the show positions the fertility fraud of a doctor as some form of unifying and uplifting event.

Eve Wiley spoke specifically of one point in Almost Family‘s premiere, in which Emily Osment’s character Roxie is thrilled she suddenly has a new family she didn’t know about. Roxie later goes on to bond with the doctor who committed fraud and even hugs him and refers to him as “dad.” Wiley told Daily Beast she had a far different reaction after learning her sperm donor was not the man her family had been told (whom she connected and bonded with) but their family doctor.

Many of the fertility fraud victims are aware Almost Family was based on the Australian series Sisters, but have noted the Fox series takes a far more light-hearted approach to the concept thus far. Of course, it’s still early on in the series, so it’s possible Almost Family could have a tonal shift as Season 1 goes on. For now, many of these victims are offended, and worried the show’s premise could undermine how the public views their cause.

That cause being a push for harsher penalties for doctors who engage or have engaged in fertility fraud by using their own sperm in lieu of others. Julie Manes thought the premise of Almost Family was disgusting, and feels the show tries to present a controversial and criminal act in a flattering light.

Fertility fraud victims aren’t the only ones down on Almost Family. Season 1 currently has a 27% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Audience reception is notably higher, with around 26 reviews giving it an 88% approval rating. Ratings-wise, the show is struggling in its time slot, even with The Masked Singer as its lead in. There’s still a lot of the first season left, though the controversy and disappointing viewership could cause Fox to pull the plug as opposed to renewing for Season 2.

Almost Family airs on Fox Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. ET. Stick with CinemaBlend for all that latest happening in the world of television and movies.

Will Walter White Show Up On Better Call Saul? Bryan Cranston Is Ready

by DE TEAM on



Without a new season of Better Call Saul hitting AMC in 2019, Breaking Bad fans might have suffered some extreme withdrawals if not for the release of El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. The follow-up feature, which closed out Jesse Pinkman’s redemption story, gave fans the long-awaited (and highly secretive) return of Bryan Cranston’s Walter White with a subdued flashback scene. Understandably, fans want even more from Walt, though the flagship series’ storyline almost definitely isn’t returning.

However, that says nothing about what might happen on the Bob Odenkirk-led Better Call Saul, which is gearing up for Season 5 to arrive in 2020. With the prequel’s narrative set to bump up against the Breaking Bad timeline before much longer, what are the chances that Bryan Cranston’s meth king could make a pre-Heisenberg cameo? Here’s what the actor is saying these days:

To me, this is the equivalent of, say, Steven Spielberg saying he’d be available to work as a second-unit director on one’s student film. Sure, the student filmmaker might have reasons to turn the opportunity down, but for God’s sakes, just let Bryan Cranston appear on Better Call Saul! Hmm, I may have mixed those analogies up there in the end.

For all the vocal persuasions that I could readily deliver to anyone ready to listen, Bryan Cranston is speaking logically and soundly about his potential to return to Albuquerque for Better Call Saul. I mean, it’s not like co-creators Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan would just chuck him into the background of an unimportant scene just for shits and giggles, since they’re more aware than anyone the weight of that character’s importance. Even for as simple as Walt’s El Camino cameo is, it still holds one of the character’s all-time great lines.

Fans will have to wait a while longer yet to see if Walter White ever will rear his smooth head on Better Call Saul, but Bryan Cranston is aware that time is of the essence where that potential cameo is concerned, since the two dramas’ timelines are looking to dovetail before too much longer. Here’s what else he told EW:

Had El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie not come around to Netflix here in 2019, the world might have been a lot more rabid about Bryan Cranston getting back into Walt mode on Better Call Saul. Now that it’s happened, a lot of viewers have no doubt been sated where those needs are concerned. Perhaps even Cranston has had that itch completely scratched now, since he’s technically okay with it if Better Call Saul never comes calling. (Not me, though!)

With still a while to go before Season 5 arrives on AMC, Better Call Saul is coming back in 2020, likely without Walter White in tow. The first three seasons are available to stream on Netflix, with Season 4 dropping in the weeks ahead of Season 5’s debut.

Dinner with the Pearsons on ‘This Is Us,’ Playing ‘Misery Index,’ Frontline on Immigration, the World Series Begins – TV Insider

by DE TEAM on



A selective critical checklist of notable Tuesday TV:

This Is Us (9/8c, NBC): Even by this show’s standards, the timeline is all over the map in an episode that has its best moments in a turbulent dinner party organized by Rebecca (Mandy Moore) a year after Jack’s (Milo Ventimiglia) death — which prompts flashbacks to another eventful meal for the then-newly married Pearsons. In a twist on “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?”, Rebecca hopes to keep the peace when young-adult Kevin shows up with new wife Sophie, and college-fresh Randall brings his new crush Beth to break bread. In the present-day drama, Kevin (Justin Hartley) owns the week as he tries to do right by AA pal and war vet Cassidy (Jennifer Morrison), prompting curmudgeonly Uncle Nicky (Griffin Dunne) to remark, “You have strange relationships with people.” True, but fans wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Misery Index (10/9c, TBS): The Good Place‘s Jameela Jamil is the incongruously glamorous host for a down-and-dirty game show with the tagline, “Let’s get miserable.” Flanked by members of the irrepressible Impractical Jokers troupe The Tenderloins, contestants are asked to rank real-life humiliations — some shown in viral videos, others in headlines — on a scale of 1-100, based on therapists’ expert opinions and revealed on a “Trauma-tron” screen. The “three pillars of misery” include physical pain, emotional trauma and lasting impact. None of which apply to this silly comedy game, where embarrassment gets the last laugh.

Frontline (10/9c, check local listings at pbs.org): A more serious form of misery is the focus of “Zero Tolerance,” the first of three Frontline documentaries planned for this season that deal with the immigration crisis. Veteran political filmmaker Michael Kirk reports on how three key presidential advisers and lightning rods — Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions and Stephen Miller — shaped the president’s hardline views on immigration, turning it into a polarizing wedge issue that has sown division and violence while rallying the administration’s base.

The World Series (7:30/630c, 4:30/PT): The Fall Classic kicks off in Houston, where the Astros return to the World Series for the second time in three years. They face the wild-card Washington Nationals, who advanced to their first World Series after sweeping the Cardinals. This could be exciting.

Celebrating Motown Productions (starts at 8/7c, Turner Classic Movies): In a collaboration with the African-American Film Critics Association, TCM host Alicia Malone teams with journalist Chris Witherspoon to introduce three iconic films produced under Berry Gordy’s Motown banner. The lineup begins with 1985’s martial-arts cult favorite The Last Dragon and continues with two Diana Ross vehicles: 1972’s memorable Billie Holiday biopic Lady Sings the Blues (10/9c), which earned Ross an Oscar nomination, and 1975’s fashionable campfest Mahogany (12:30 am/11:30c).

Inside Tuesday TV: Another fall classic returns with ABC’s annual showing of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (8/7c). Like Linus, I never give up hope that the giant gourd will someday appear… In HGTV’s Fixer to Fabulous (9/8c), home renovators Dave and Jenny Marrs work their magic on Arkansas homesteads that have seen better days… HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (10/9c) includes a report on the rehabilitation and adoption of damaged dogs rescued from Michael Vick’s dog-fighting ring… Streaming, comedy department: Jenny Slate (Saturday Night Live, Parks and Recreation) gets personal in her first Netflix special, Jenny Slate: Stage Fright, which includes childhood clips and family interviews within her stand-up set… Streaming, drama department: Echoes of Broadchurch in the BritBox exclusive mystery The Bay, starring Morven Christie (Grantchester) as a detective investigating the disappearance of two teenagers in a coastal English town.

Supernatural Boss Teases A Version Of Dean ‘Not From Our World’

by DE TEAM on



All bets are off for Supernatural now that it’s in its final season with none other than God as the big bad. God revealed back in Season 14 that Sam and Dean were his favorites of the many pairs of Winchester brothers in the many worlds he’d created (before Sam shot him, anyway), which suggests that God had messed with all the others similarly to how he messed with our Sam and Dean. Well, according to Supernatural showrunner Andrew Dabb, Season 15 will showcase some of those other worlds and another Dean.

Speaking with TVLine about Supernatural Season 15, Andrew Dabb said this:

Well, Supernatural may not be part of the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” extravaganza that’s brewing for a handful of The CW’s other shows (although a Supernatural star did land a role in the event), but it too will be visiting multiple worlds in the 2019-2020 TV season! The series has showed alternate worlds and realities in seasons past, and the first alternate Dean actually appeared all the way back in Season 5.

Interestingly, Andrew Dabb’s comment that there’s a version of Dean that fans will get to know better in “upcoming episodes” suggests that this alternate Dean won’t be a one-and-done character. Also, fans who have kept up with all of the trailer footage released for the final season so far have already gotten a glimpse of Dean 2.0.

Apparently, the scruffy Dean seen in the “Last Ride” trailer is the alternate Dean who will appear. If you missed the trailer, take a look, and keep an eye out for the scenes with Dean in very red lighting:

If we assume that all the shots in the red lighting are of the same world, then it looks like we might be getting an alternate Sam as well. That said, given the decidedly evil look on his face, I’m guessing that might be a reality in which there is a Dean Winchester fighting the good fight and Lucifer in a Sam Winchester vessel, much like the Season 5 episode that first featured a Dean 2.0.

There’s also a quick shot of Adam at a table with Adam, so there may be more to the return of the third Winchester brother than the simple fact that God sprung open all the doors in Hell, including the door to the cage that has contained Michael in Adam for the better part of a decade.

The stakes have never felt higher on Supernatural, and the final season will clearly pack in more than just 42 minutes of nostalgia once a week until the final credits roll in the spring. Find out what’s in store for the Winchesters and Co. when new episodes of Supernatural air Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

Shocking cut turns ballroom into bawl room

“Dancing with the Stars” celebs channeled their favorite characters for Disney Night. They even got a surprise ending to the night.
USA TODAY

You could feel a change in the air during Monday’s Week 6 on “Dancing With the Stars.”

The weaker candidates have been removed. It’s now time to show the contenders versus the pretenders. 

James Van Der Beek was ordered to move his hips, Sean Spicer got romantic and Lauren Alaina got emotional in her dance. But there were tears aplenty with the surprise elimination.

But who was it? Read on.

Please note: The rest of the story recaps tonight’s dance floor drama. If you don’t want to know what happened, stop reading pronto.

Trump tweets for Sean Spicer: And it has an impact

What happened last week?: Disney Night brought princesses, Hannah Brown as Jasmine

Singer Ally Brooke and pro Sasha Farber 

Top contender Brooke broke through with the season’s first nine scores last week, and continued to show she’s a force with a top-form quick-step to the ’80s classic “Take On Me.” She and Farber started separately on an elaborate, neon-filled ’80s stage, before joining together for the spirited romp.

“That was so bright, I needed sunglasses. I was suntanning,” declared judge Bruno Tonioli, who said the dancers “lost synchronicity on the footwork,” possibly because they started separately. 

“But as a performer, you’re a contender,” said Tonioli, who gave an eight (matched by judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who agreed with the synchronicity issue).  

In a rare reversal on the show, perpetual-critic judge Len Goodman lashed at other judges for being too harsh on the sync issue. “You need to go to Spec-saver,” said Goodman, before apologizing for the un-Goodman-esque outburst.

“First out, first-class. I liked it very much,” Goodman said in his critique, pointing out “little foot-faults.” He gave a nine score, keeping Brooke near the top.

Total score 25/30

‘The Office’ star Kate Flannery and pro Pasha Pashkov

Flannery continues as a surprise “DWTS” contender and worked an excellent underdog angle in the pre-dance video, talking about working a second restaurant job to pay the bills until she was 41. The comic actress has nailed the fast dances with a smile on her face. But she has struggled to be serious in the competition’s dramatic dances. That was until her passionate spinning in her Viennese waltz Monday night. By the end, the judges were dizzy.

“I am speechless,” said Inaba. “When you put in the hard work and learn the technique, it pays off. It felt like the most victorious Viennese waltz.” She gave Flannery the star’s first nine score of the season, and the other judges followed with the lofty score.

“I am a happy chappie,” said a smitten Goodman, calling the number an “absolutely great performance.”

Final score: 27/30

Comedian/actor Kel Mitchell and pro Witney Carson

Mitchell has been a star on the rise, earning his highest score last week. To train for his Monday quick-step, Carson called in fellow dancers Spicer and Hannah Brown to hurl dodgeballs at Mitchell. The training paid off in a ridiculously light quick-step to “Part Time Lover,” including intricate sections where Mitchell was dancing flawlessly on his own. Carson stepped on her dress during one errant moment, a mistake noticed by Goodman, who called it “a major incident.”

Goodman called the dance overall “an amazing job, fast and clean” and gave an eight. But his criticism over the mistake was the night’s most heated judge battle. Show interviewer Erin Andrews calling Goodman “a jerk” for making Carson cry in a pointed joke.

Inaba called the routine “ridiculously amazing” with the “one tiny” mistake. She gave a nine, matched by Tonioli. 

Total score 25/30

‘Queer Eye’ culture expert Karamo and pro Jenna Johnson 

Karamo upped the emotional stakes bringing his estranged father, who once couldn’t accept his son’s sexuality, onto the show and dedicating the contemporary dance to him. The moving, acrobatic dance on the fog-filled dance floor featured the completely open-shirted Karamo looking ponderous for the entire routine. He collapsed into a heap at the end of the dance in tears.

Goodman, who has been a harsh critic, called the dance “fluid. It had a lovely flow to it throughout. Really well-constructed dance.” He gave an eight, matching Tonioli.

Inaba was blown away, saying that contemporary dance was about “taking the inside and putting it on the outside” showing “love and passion and connection.” She gave a nine.

Final score: 25/30

‘Bachelorette’ Hannah Brown and pro Alan Bersten 

Brown continues to show her post-“Bachelorette” emotions, crying into the arms of partner Bersten during their pre-dance video. She brought her parents from Alabama to cheer her up, and danced a country-style samba to Carrie Underwood’s “Southbound.” Brown wore a white belle dress and Bersten donned a denim shirt and jeans.

Somehow it worked, and even featured a shake from Brown hips, as requested by the judges. It wasn’t quite reckless abandon, but movement.

“You brought Brazil to Nashville and country flavor to correct samba motion,” said Tonioli, who gave an eight, matched by all the judges

“No question you’re a phenomenal dancer, with moments of excellence,” said Inaba, who said not everything in the routine “quite worked.”

Final score: 24/30

Sailor Brinkley-Cook and pro Valentin Chmerkovskiy

Brinkley-Cook continued to try to step out of her mother Christie Brinkley’s shadow with a buoyant jive to “Wake Me Up Before You Go.” Since taking over for her mother, Brinkley-Cook has sparkled. But the shine was especially bright Monday, as she hopped with confidence during the number. She owned the dance floor and was positively beaming afterward.

“That’s wasn’t decaffeinated, that was chock full of flavor,” said Goodman, giving a nine score (matched by all judges)..

“You have got it all at your disposal,” said Tonioli. “She was like, ‘Look at me, I am the star.”http://rssfeeds.usatoday.com/”

Final score: 27/30

Sean Spicer and pro Lindsay Arnold 

Spicer showed off a new side with his Viennese waltz to “Someone to Love” wearing his now-trademark fixed dancing smile and a tuxedo while dedicating the dance to his wife of 15 years. “At heart, I’m a pretty romantic guy,” he said. There were green lasers on the dance floor, a number of minor missteps but Spicer kept smiling throughout holding his arms out with all the grace of a G.I. Joe doll. As the dance ended, he produced a bouquet of roses for his wife in the audience.

“I admire your tenacity and hard work. Dancing doesn’t come easily to you, but you give it your all,” said Goodman.

Tonioli called his look, “almost regal” praising an “incredibly brave attempt” even if, at times, his footwork “looked like tumbleweeds.” The judge stressed that his seven score reflected “effort.” The score was matched by all judges for Spicer’s best score of the season. Adding President Trump’s tweet support, and Spicer looked to be tough to beat.

Final score: 21/30

Actor James Van Der Beek and pro Emma Slater 

The “Dawson’s Creek” star came out on fire at season’s start, but has risked flat-lining in the results in past weeks. The judges want to see more progress, and Goodman said he needed to see more “hip action” in the samba. Van Der Beek brought that hip action to such a high level in his techno routine that the judges were tripping over themselves to find adjectives to describe his moving body parts.

“That was a close encounters of the hips kind,” purred Tonioli, whose nine was matched by all judges.

“The whole thing was just ridiculous; it was off the charts,” swooned Inaba.

Goodman rocked it with this comment: “Tootie-frutty, what a booty!” So Len. The marks were Van Der Beek’s highest in the season.

Country singer Lauren Alaina and pro Gleb Savchenko 

The waterworks truly started with the last dance, coming on the one-year anniversary of Alaina’s beloved stepfather, Sam, dying of cancer at 47. Her contemporary dance to her own song “The Other Side” was profoundly moving on the darkened stage. Onstage at the end, she held her hand to heaven and burst into tears. The tears continued as she hugged her mother in the audience, sobbing and through the judges’ comments.

“You’re a brave woman, dancing tonight. You touched all of our hearts tonight,” said Inaba, who gave a nine. “There were angels all over you dancing.”

Tonioli said he was “so happy to see so much love, truth and honesty” in the dance.

So what happened?

Alaina was the first couple shown to be saved by the judges’ scores and votes, and Spicer too quickly cleared the dance floor, safe.

In the end, it was Ally and Sasha along with Sailor and Val left in the bottom two of the dance competition. That left the final call to the judges to decide on the one couple spared, and the one sent home. Inaba and Tonioli struggled for words as they made the difficult decision to save Ally and Sasha.

This meant Sailor Brinkley-Cook, who had stepped in to dance for her injured mother, was voted off. The unrelenting tears flowed to such an extent for the young model that her pro partner had to shepherd her out of the camera’s view, hugging her in an attempt to give comfort.

“This is a hard one, a hard one,” said host Tom Bergeron, shaking his head.

Frontrunners End Up in the Bottom 2 (RECAP) – TV Insider

by DE TEAM on



Last week on Dancing With the Stars, Ally Brooke stole the show and brought in the highest score of the season. Tonight, with still nine couples left fighting for that mirror ball trophy, the competition is hotter than ever.

But tonight’s episode took a bit of a surprising turn when two of the strongest dancers ended up in the bottom two. Read on for all of the highlights including top scores, judges’ comments, and who went home.

Ally Brooke’s dance

Performing the (very, very quick) Quickstep with her pro partner Sasha Farber, the popstar gave it her all to the ’80s classic “Take on Me” by a-Ha — and proved she’s still has a shot at winning this competition.

Though judges Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba called out the couple for lack of synchronicity, it was a well received performance overall.

“First out,  first class. Your frame was good,” Len Goodman said. “Overall full of energy. I thought it was terrific.”

“You have excelled and are still growing,” Carrie Ann added.

Ally earned two 8s and a 9, totaling 25 out of 30 for tonight, bringing their two-week total to 52 out of 60.

Kate Flannery’s dance

The actress performed the Viennese Waltz to Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing” with pro partner Pasha Pashkov and didn’t disappoint. Len was specifically was impressed, saying it was “an absolutely great performance.”

“It just felt like the most victorious Viennese Waltz,” Carrie Ann said. “Way to own it!”

Not surprising, The Office actress brought home big scores — three 9s, bringing her two-week total to 51 out of 60.

Kel Mitchell’s dance

The All That star has improved week on week, and tonight was no exception. Dancing the Quickstep with his pro partner Witney Carson to “Part Time Lover” by Stevie Wonder.

“You have such an ease to you but you have this flare,” Carrie Ann said. “My gosh, that was ridiculously amazing.”

“Kel, it’s official. You’re a full time dancer,” Bruno added. “It was excellent work.”


Len called out the performance for a “huge mistake” which Witney took fault for, saying she slipped on her dress. Still, he praised the Good Burger actor for a job well done. But the mistake didn’t hurt their scores, as Kel still managed to bring in two 9s and an 8, bringing his nightly score to 26 out of 30, and two-week score to 52 out of 60.

Karamo’s dance

Tonight was a special night for the TV host, who invited his estranged father to the show to watch him perform. After dancing a touching Contemporary performance to “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi with pro partner Jenna Johnson, Karamo broke down in tears and hugged his father.

“I thought it was a really, really well constructed dance,” Len said, while Bruno touched on how “expressive” the performance was.


The Queer Eye star, who never previously received a score above a 7, was shocked to earn two 8s and a 9, bringing his two-week total to 46.

Hannah Brown’s dance

The former Bachelorette was feeling a bit homesick this week, so she performed a Samba to “Southbound” by Carrie Underwood to pay homage to her southern roots.


Though the performance had moments of “excellence” according to Carrie Ann, the judges called Hannah out for being off-beat at times throughout the dance. However, it was not an easy routine, which Len added, and gave her credit for the hard work she put in.

The reality star earned 8s across the board, bringing her two-week total to 49 out of 60.

Sailor Brinkley-Cook’s dance

The model danced a Jazz performance with pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy to “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” by Wham! and it was as cheeky and lively as ever.

“We finally found your groove! To be animated is your thing,” said Carrie Ann.


“I don’t need any waking up. That wasn’t decaffeinated. That was full of flavor,” Len added.

The high energy performance earned 9s across the board, bringing Sailor’s two-week total to 51 out of 60.

Sean Spicer’s dance

After getting his first 7 last week, the former White House Press Secretary took the stage and danced the Viennese Waltz with pro partner Lindsay Arnold to “Somebody to Love” by Queen. After the performance ended, he walked over to his wife and handed her a gorgeous bouquet of red roses.

“I admire your tenacity and hard work. Dancing doesn’t come easy but you come out every week and give it your all and for that, I respect you,” Bruno said.

Sean earned his highest score ever — 7s across the board, bringing his two-week total to 40 out of 60.

James Van Der Beek’s dance

The Dawson’s Creek star danced the Samba this week to “Light It Up” by Major Lazer with pro partner Emma Slater. Bruno specifically was impressed by the actor’s sexy hip movement.

Len agreed with his sentiment, adding, “Tooty fruity, what a booty! Your bum was out of control. It was a really, really good dance.”

James’ booty dance helped him bring home a big score which landed him at the top of the leaderboard, 9s across the board, bringing his two-week total to 53 out of 60.

Lauren Alaina’s dance

The country star honored her late stepfather, who died of cancer last year, with her Contemporary performance. Before passing, Lauren recalled her stepfather looking up at the ceiling in awe and described heaven. She later wrote the song “The Other Side” for him, which she danced to tonight with pro partner Gleb Savchenko.

“I wrote this song so he could live on and he would never be forgotten,” she said.

After the emotional performance, the singer ran into her mother’s arms in the audience and broke down in tears.

The judges felt the emotion. “You touched all of our hearts tonight. It was like angels all over you dancing,” Carrie Ann said. “You have blessed us all with a beautiful dance of love and raw emotion.”

“It’s very sad but it makes me so happy to see so much love, truth, and honesty,” Bruno said.

Lauren earned two 9s and an 8, bringing her two-week total to 49 out of 60.

Who went home on Dancing With the Stars tonight?

Surprisingly, Ally and Sasha and Sailor and Val ended up in the bottom two and the judges were equally shocked. The judges had to save one couple from the bottom two — and they unanimously chose to save Ally and Sasha, meaning Sailor and Val were sent home tonight.

“I’m so proud of her, she’s a star. This was just an appetizer to an incredible career,” Val said as Sailor broke down in tears.
