Latest in Marvel’s Agent Carter

Presidential politics played a closing role in last night's primetime with ABC, NBC and CBS all going to Super Tuesday coverage in the 10 PM ET slot as states across the nation voted for Hillary Clinton v. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump v. those other guys. With a lead-in from the second night of Season 10 of The Voic…

Tuesday was one of those nights when the adage of what goes up must come down felt a little more pointed than usual – if you were CBS. Although the network won the night in adults 18-49 with the same 1.8/6 rating it got last week and topped viewership with 11.91 million watching, its dramas had a bit of a bumpy…

A lot of Americans visited New Hampshire via the small screen last night as results for the Presidential primary in the Granite State delivered solid wins for Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. Over on the CW, the trip was to Earth 2 on The Flash (1.6/5) and it was a good visit indeed. Up 14% among adults 18-49 over its…

It was all Marvel all primetime on Tuesday on ABC. With a soft Marvel's Captain America: 75 Heroic Years  special (0.9/3) as a lead-in and a move out to Hollywood, Marvel's Agent Carter (0.9/3) was back in action last night with its Season 2 premiere after moving out of the way of the State of the Union. Like its…

President Obama, who apparently likes living dangerously these days, has scheduled his State of the Union Address a little earlier than usual, on January 12, which has caused ABC to put off by two weeks its season premiere of Marvel’s Agent Carter, no doubt costing Democrats the Marvel fanboy/fangirl vote in the next…

Agent Carter is back and taking on Hollywood. ABC has dropped a new teaser for Season 2 of the action drama series. Hayley Atwell stars as Agent Peggy Carter, the unstoppable secret agent for the Strategic Scientific Reserve. Dedicated to the fight against new atomic-age threats in the wake of World War II, Peggy now…

Ken Marino (Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp, Vinyl) has joined the Season 2 cast of Marvel’s Agent Carter. He’ll play Joseph Manfredi, a volatile leader in the Maggia crime syndicate who will help Peggy Carter's adversaries further their agenda. Hayley Atwell stars as Agent Peggy Carter, the unstoppable…

They won’t be flexing any muscle in Hall H on the big screen this year but Marvel is still heading to Comic-Con 2015. Marvel TV that is with the return to San Diego of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Marvel’s Agent Carter on July 10. Then on July 11, Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb will be talking and showing a whole lot…

All things come to an end and last night's primetime saw a lot of shows do just that, some forever and some likely just for now. The big goodbye was, of course, the series ender of Parks and Recreation (1.6/5). Moved to the choice 10 PM slot right after the second night of the start of Season 8 of The Voice (3.8/11)…

The Wednesday sampling last week helped. New ABC comedy Fresh Off The Boat had a respectable opening in the challenging Tuesday 8 PM slot with a 1.7 rating in adults 18-49 and 6 million viewers. A second episode at 8:30 PM built up a bit in the demo, to a 1.8 (5.8 million viewers). Of course that was down from the…

They've been dipping their toes in ever since the show debuted January 6, but last night was when ABC’s Marvel's Agent Carter (1.3/4) dove full-force into the greater Marvel Universe to what must have been fanboys' delight. But despite an unspoken Black Widow, the roar of the Howling Commandos and a cameo from Neal…

It was a mixed night of encores and originals on the networks last night with a loss of traction in the superhero worlds. Almost halfway through its eight-episode run and last week's State of the Union preemption, Marvel's Agent Carter (1.3/4) really started extending its reach into the greater Marvel Universe last…
