  1. Taking stock of Chicago TV, film

    It was a notable year for Chicago's film and TV industry, both for projects that came — and those that didn't. First, the good news. The city was home to four television series in 2012. That is an unprecedented number.

  2. The 'Boss' returns, for better and worse

    Meet the new "Boss," almost the same as the old "Boss."
    Meet the new "Boss," almost the same as the old "Boss." This works without qualification as a line in a Who song about teenage rebellion. Applied to the TV series about the autocratic Chicago ruler played by Kelsey Grammer, it is both good and bad....

  3. Coaxing film from a former steel plant

    "I used to spend summers with Uncle Nick as a kid," Pissios, a former real estate developer, tells me. He hung around the Cinespace Toronto soundstages. "That's how this whole thing happened. A few years ago, I was building condominiums by the United Center." Then came the mortgage and housing crises and the bad economic weather. Pissios went to Toronto for a wedding and saw his Uncle Nick. "And he said, 'How's things going?' I told him, 'Not so good. It's slow now.' And he said, 'We've always talked about opening up a studio in Chicago. Let's test the waters. Start lookin' around.'"

  4. The Rahm identity shines through in 'Chicago Fire'

    This is not a political story.
    This is not a political story. This is a story about acting and the thin line between a performance and a public face. This is about aesthetics. Please do not read any ideological argument into the following or take what I am about to say as cynicism or...

  6. Sanaa Lathan on Season 2 of Starz’s “Boss”

    Channel Guide Magazine
    It’s a good deal more frantic and there are more people milling about than when I last visited the set of Starz‘s Boss. Mario Van Peebles is in the director’s chair, and neither Kelsey Grammer nor Troy Garity are anywhere to be seen. The...

  7. Why some TV shows only film exterior scenes in Chicago

    The Chicago-based Showtime dramedy "Shameless" can either be seen as a small victory for Chicago's TV and film community or a missed opportunity, depending on how you want to look at it.

  10. Isn't it time for a TV show about a South Side political dynasty?

    Now that the elections are over, what's good on TV?
    Now that the elections are over, what's good on TV? There are many fine and steamy political dramas set in Chicago. "The Good Wife" and "Boss" are two of my favorites. Yet these shows, like so many others, revolve around white characters. If the national...

  11. TV review: 'SEAL Team Six' macho, but not moving

    "SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden" (<em>7 p.m. Nov. 4, Nat Geo; 2 stars</em>) does the impossible: It makes the clandestine and no doubt harrowing U.S. mission that killed Osama bin Laden kind of dull.

  12. Guide to October 2012 TV premieres, finales, specials

    October's TV programming might be heavy on the Halloween-themed stuff, but that's not all the networks have to offer. "30 Rock" and "Community" return for their final seasons. "Happy Endings" is back, as well as a new season of "American Horror Story," not to mention Syfy's ripoff movie "American Horror House." Here's our monthly list of season and series premieres/finales, movies and specials. I'll keep updating as I find more, so if you see something I'm missing, give me a shout.
