Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticA great frustration for me as a critic of television, and a viewer of television, has been the ongoing dominance of “The Bachelor” franchise — a series that requires herculean endurance on the part of the viewer to find moments of genuine oddity. Over the course of punishingly long episodes, “The Bachelor” tends toward the most rote sorts of provocation, placing contestants who have been cast for their ability to approximate normalcy into extreme situations.After all, “The Bachelor” runs on happy endings, and so we must be rooting for its leads (the Bachelor or Bachelorette, and the credible options for them to pick at the end) to really find love.

Broadway’s spring season kicked into higher gear last week, with the arrival of seven previewing productions (with more to come over the next few weeks). Business overall remained robust, with the 31 shows grossing a total of $28,818,836. The figure marks a 7% increase over the previous week, a jump due in no small part to the stellar performances of such recent arrivals as Funny Girl, Mr. Saturday Night, Plaza Suite and, of course, The Music Man.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticOver cigarettes in a Tokyo nightclub, a newbie crime reporter eager to make a mark is speaking to his source. Jake Adelstein (Ansel Elgort), an American who’s become fluent in Japanese to work as a journalist far from home, uses the language to ask his source Jin Miyamoto (Hideaki Itō) whether the city of Tokyo has officially recorded murder cases at all. Miyamoto, a corrupt cop, is briefly caught up in all the flashes of distraction the nightclub has to offer — bright lights, music, liquor on order and young women ambiently available — before explaining the situation to this outsider.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic“Better Call Saul” is, at the start of its two-part final season, still twin shows — a riveting one and one that, even while well-made, can feel like yesterday’s news. The good news for viewers who are interested in the storyline about Jimmy McGill’s slippage into the amoral Saul Goodman, and his dragging of Kim Wexler with him, is that that half of the series is as strong as ever.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s three children made a rare appearance on the red carpet to support their parents’ Broadway show, Plaza Suite. On Monday, the couple’s son, James, 19, and 12-year-old twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, attended the opening of Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite at the Hudson Theatre in New York City. The three teenagers walked the red carpet and posed for photos together, a rare occurance for the typically private family.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticPete Holmes is a fairly cerebral comic, a presence whose jokes consistently feel carefully thought through. His recent HBO sitcom “Crashing,” which ended in 2019, took a subject that is easy to lampoon — a comedian’s quest for recognition and success — and took it seriously, treating it with real sensitivity.There’s something particularly dispiriting, then, about “How We Roll,” a new sitcom starring Holmes that’s lacking any semblance of his voice or his wit.

Sarah Jessica Parker's children are all grown up as the trio walked the red carpet for the opening night of the Neil Simon play Plaza Suite on Monday 28 March. The Sex and the City star, 57, whose frizz-free curls are down to a £28 hair towel, shares James, 19, and twins Marion and Tabitha, both 12, with her Hollywood actor husband Matthew Broderick, 60.Their eldest child, James, looked the perfect mix of his parents as he donned a simple black suit that featured gold buttons, which he paired with a matching black tie and dark shoes.

Michael Appler On Monday evening in New York City, “Plaza Suite,” a Neil Simon comedy starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, opened on Broadway with a comedic crash nearly three years in the making.Set in the late-1960s, “Plaza Suite” comprises three one act plays in which Broderick and Parker — married in real life — portray couples staying in a suite at the Plaza Hotel. In the final act — a grand farce in which the pair play parents whose bride-to-be daughter has barricaded herself in the bathroom — Broderick takes a slapstick run at the locked-shut door. On Monday, in front of a star-studded crowd including Mayor Eric Adams, Broderick busted right through the set in an opening night gaff for the Broadway books.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick had three very special guests in attendance during the opening night of their Broadway show, Neil Simon's on Monday. The A-list couple’s children, John, 19, and 12-year-old twins Marion and Tabitha, walked the red carpet for the event held at New York City’s Hudson Theater.  For their rare appearance, the Broderick trio walked the carpet together and posed for pictures, sans their parents.

Her in an oversized bun, she looked the way I imagine Cinderella's Fairy Godmother might. She teased the look earlier in the evening on Instagram, writing, “Just wait until you see the front.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticLast year, Marvel made a serious run at using streaming TV to do something qualitatively different than what it does on the big screen. With “WandaVision,” the first of its series to stream on Disney Plus, the studio used familiar characters to animate a story that, in its early going, was substantially more pliable and strange than what they were willing to attempt in a heavily leveraged movie.

weirdly woke and clunky “And Just Like That.” And, for everybody else, Simon’s middle-drawer play is a relaxing vacation from our overly serious theater season. Running time: 2 and a half hours with one intermission. At the Hudson Theater, 141 West 44th Street.Parker and Broderick play a trio of couples over three acts (the comedy is a long one for modern attention spans): A distant husband and wife celebrate their 23rd anniversary; a New Jersey housewife secretly reunites with her high school beau who’s become a big-time Hollywood producer; and a long-married pair spar while their daughter has locked herself in the bathroom, refusing to get married.

Neil Simon’s Plaza Suite couldn’t seem better suited to the long-in-coming stage-taking of real-life couple Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker. What better way for two actors who got their early starts in the theater – she as a young star of Annie, he in Simon’s Brighton Beach Memoirs and Biloxi Blues – than a vintage Broadway comedy with multiple roles for its leading man and woman?

Woody Harrelson is the epitome of a television actor making a successful transition to the big screen. The 60-year-old Texas native became a household name in the late 80s with his hilarious turn as the dim-witted, good-natured Woody on the sitcom Cheers before heading off for the movies. It wasn’t long before he was awarded with Oscar nominations for his work in 1997’s The People Vs. Larry Flynt, 2010’s The Messenger and 2018’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. While he may not have taken home the big prize, he certainly cemented himself as an A-list actor. More recently, he can be seen in Solo: A Stars Wars Story and the superhero flick Venom.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV CriticThere’s a beautifully drawn moment in the fourth episode of “Pachinko,” Apple TV Plus’ new cross-generational epic, in which a young woman (Minha Kim) is served white rice as a final meal in Korea before setting out to the unknown. It’s moving on its merits — this character, Sunja, has already been through a great deal, and a meal lovingly prepared by her mother (Inji Jeong) has a certain symbolic weight all its own.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic“I just kept thinking, why isn’t anyone stopping us? Why didn’t anyone stop us?”Amber (Laura Dreyfuss) is addressing her wife (Jamie Neumann), deep into a scheme that has spiraled beyond either one of these two white women’s control. On their way to the madness of this moment, they’ve demonstrated both a powerful and shocking inhumanity and the grim whimsicality of racism – the manner in which new rules can be created by the people in charge breezily, as if for their own amusement.This is, and is not, “Atlanta.” The show, returning to the air for the first time since 2018, has jettisoned its cast for this installment, stepping outside the plot to tell a story of startling power.
