'Emerald City' re-imagines 'Wizard of Oz' not so wonderfully

9 years 8 months ago
"The Wizard of Oz" has inspired plenty of re-imagination, much of it (see "Wicked") quite wonderful. But the road to reinvention hits a brick wall with "Emerald City," an NBC series that seeks to transform the colorful story into a gritty, half-baked version of "Game of Thrones," yielding some visual splendor but mostly lots of sheer awfulness.

9 years 8 months ago
"One Day at a Time" is that rarest of reboots, one that takes the bones of the original Norman Lear comedy that premiered in 1975 and transforms it into something fresh and vital. Buoyed by a terrific cast -- including an utterly ageless Rita Moreno -- it's the kind of show that could give both TV's nostalgia wave and the ailing sitcom format good names.
