NEW CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED DRAMA “MATLOCK,” STARRING KATHY BATES, RECEIVES SECOND SEASON ORDER ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

CBS announced today a second season order for MATLOCK, the new critically acclaimed drama starring Kathy Bates, for the 2025-26 broadcast season. The show, a reimagined version of the classic television series of the same name, has been “Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with a 100% average Tomatometer score.

“This reconceived MATLOCK was devised by Jennie Snyder Urman with a brilliant surprise plot twist, and we knew we had something very special the moment we saw the first episode brought to life by the incredibly talented Kathy Bates,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “The audience reception and critical acclaim for it has been overwhelming. We can’t wait to get started on a second season.”

MATLOCK stars Emmy and Academy Award winner Kathy Bates as Madeline “Matty” Matlock, a brilliant septuagenarian who achieved success in her younger years and decides to rejoin the work force at a prestigious law firm where she uses her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics to win cases all while investigating a deeply personal secret of her own. Skye P. Marshall, Jason Ritter, David Del Rio and Leah Lewis also star.

MATLOCK airs on Thursdays, (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and is available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+. 

Executive produced by Jennie Snyder Urman, Joanna Klein, Eric Christian Olsen, Kat Coiro and Bates. The series is produced by CBS Studios for the CBS Television Network and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

So there was a lot of talk the past two days on my feed over Rory being right to turn down Logan's marriage proposal in S7....which is completely the rational take as both of them were under 25, they'd never discussed it before, Logan is going to crash and burn by trying to rush right into marriage, home ownership, and financial independence at the same time at the ripe old age of 24 (slow down, my man, there's a recession coming in two years), Logan said he'd factor her plans into his and then does the exact opposite and she didn't want to break up with him over the issue....and oh yeah, she didn't want to and it's not like the disaster of her parents failed reconciliation a few months prior to that event could cause her to be wary of the institution in general. Sure, her career devolves on its own years later and Logan becomes unavailable as a legitimate prospect to her years later because he decides to become a character in an eighteenth century novel with the whole "I have to marry this heiress to please my dad even though my heart is stuck on another, whatever shall I do? Oh, nothing, apparently, the narrative says I'm doomed no matter what"...but hey, maybe all of those things would have happened anyway, and it's still not a reason to force yourself to get married when you don't want to.

However, can we talk about how weird this episode is? Why is Rory leaning on her mother for advice at this point, who has gone through a failed engagement and a divorce (to two different men!) in less than a year and Rory was upfront with thinking the marriage was a bad idea? Why is Christopher whining about Logan not asking him first, given it seems that he hasn't contacted Rory on her own since the divorce because he STILL is unwilling to do much of anything parental unless Lorelai is involved? Why is there no discussion of Luke attending this graduation, even as a suggestion that's dismissed? What is even up with Logan's "my way or the highway" attitude? That isn't how he's acted all season and he and Rory have had disagreements and been able to deal rationally with them. And finally, what is up with Luke and Lorelai taking so many steps backwards? Lorelai is frustrated that Luke isn't making a move when she's going around telling everyone that serenading him isn't a big deal, what did she think was going to happen? Luke very logically tells her that Rory marrying her college boyfriend seems like something she should carefully consider (gee, it's not like he and Lorelai both have ill-fated spontaneous marriages in their recent past or anything that could inform his thoughts on this matter) and Lorelai decides to make that entire conversation a metaphorical moratorium on their relationship and conclude that Luke isn't willing to consider marriage again? (Uh, maybe this issue isn't going to be resolved in one conversation, hon). And finally, Lorelai tells Rory that if she doesn't immediately want to marry someone the first time the issue comes up, she should just accept that she's never meant to marry that person and the discussion is forever closed! I'm sorry, Lorelai, that is TERRIBLE ADVICE and maybe ease up on the projecting here.

This episode was written by Jennie Snyder Urman, who would later go on to run Jane the Virgin. She also wrote the Luke/Lorelai car shopping episode, Lorelai and Christopher's breakup episode, and the episode where Lorelai tells Rory she's gotten married and Rory and Logan fight over the magazine article she writes. I think she has good takes on both couples in the past, so it's bizarre to keep why they're so off kilter here. I get it that they wanted Rory to be single by the end of the season and not get Luke and Lorelai back together quite yet but it's just...a really sour way of making the narrative orient around rom com miscommunication and kind of taints the back half of the last season, which was otherwise pretty stellar.

the person who deserves the biggest apology:

[eleanoroliphant]

remember when jennie urman was so pissed that her whole cast was vocally team michael and so insecure with the endgame she had in mind that she had to bring michael back from the dead only to stomp her feet all over villadero? ‘cause i do. and i’m still mad.

The CW’s Jane the Virgin was a telenovela-inspired romantic comedy that enthralled fans with its soapy plot twists and love triangles. Created by Jennie Snyder Urman, the Golden Globe-nominated TV show first came on the scene in 2014 and lasted for five seasons before its satisfying conclusion. The series’ cast was led by Gina Rodriguez, Justin Baldoni and Brett Dier in main roles, with scene-stealing supporting performances by Yara Martinez, Bridget Regan, Anthony Mendez and so many more. Rodriguez, for her part, starred as the titular character, Jane Villanueva. In the series premiere, Jane is a 23-year-old virgin who learns she’s pregnant after accidentally being artificially inseminated by her doctor. In a split second, Jane’s entire life changes — as do her relationships with her boyfriend (and eventual husband), Michael Cordero (Dier), and the baby’s father, Rafael Solano (Baldoni). The show became a major hit and led plenty of its cast members to stardom, including a Golden Globe trophy for Rodriguez. “It’s interesting — but fun! This is a real thing families deal with this all the time, new people coming in. I love the way our show delicately and educationally the subject,” the Man Enough author exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2017 of playing Rafael and working on the dramedy. “[Rafael and I would] both take a bullet for our children. We want them to have better lives and opportunities than we did. But I wouldn’t compromise my beliefs or morals because I don’t place the same value on wealth and financial security that he does. The biggest difference is that I have a strong spiritual belief and Rafael doesn’t because he’s so hurt and broken.” One thing that Baldoni wasn’t as excited about? Whenever the hotel owner needed to strip down. “I cringe when there’s a shirtless scene because I never feel I am in good enough shape,” he told Us at the time. “I struggle with the difference between how Justin looks and how Rafael is supposed to look. To me, I’ll always be the skinny kid with the narrow shoulders. I think it’s cool to talk about because a lot of men don’t.” Jane the Virgin, which takes inspiration from classic telenovelas, aired its final episode in July 2019. “We started shooting the first season of Jane in July 2014. A few days into shooting I turned 30 on set. Yesterday I turned 35. And today is the very last episodes, 99 and 100 airing of Jane The Virgin. Five years. Five years of love, laughter, growth, pain, surprises, deaths, new births and a s—t ton of memories,” Rodriguez wrote via Instagram amid the series finale. “I will never stop making art to bring Joy and Laughter into your home/train ride/plane ride or classroom! Art is my savior. Art is what makes me feel like I can fly. … I will always love you, Jane.” Jane the Virgin launched plenty of careers and captured many hearts during its television tenure.

Kathy Bates Is Having a Pinch-Me Moment With 'Matlock'

Don’t call it a reboot, because, as many viewers have discovered, the new CBS drama Matlock starring Oscar winner Kathy Bates is everything but. By now, it’s an open secret that Jane the Virgin creator Jennie Snyder Urman has done it again. With Matlock, Urman hasn’t simply taken an established IP and swapped in Bates for Andy Griffith’s original Ben Matlock. Instead, she’s turned the show on…

So I know I said I was going to stop being an apologist for Introducing Lorelai Planetarium, but that's a lie, because I'm remembering how when Lorelai argues to Christopher that they should keep Rory's room the way that it is because she might have to come home after she graduates because "journalists get paid crap" that this is one of two instances (IIRC) in the OS that we're reminded that Rory 's profession is inherently unstable. The other mention of it in the hay bale maze episode where Rory is writing out her pro/con list about whether to take the Providence job and one of her cons is if print journalism is dying. Both episodes were written by Jennie Snyder Urman who would go on to write Jane the Virgin, which more people should go back and watch, even if love did die when Michael Cordero did.

And I do wonder for the gazillionth time if people did overvalue what ASP had to say about class in general, because this observation seems to have mostly bypassed ASP, even in AYITL when Rory's career is dying. Could she sustain herself in this profession without family money? It's an open question, and one that ASP never sees fit to ask,even when it's staring her in the face.

Did a season 1 rewatch of Charmed (2018) a few weeks ago (thanks to my local library), and oooh boy.

Admittedly, it annoys the hell out of me that the opening credits for the reboot have "Created by Constance M. Burge". I KNOW they have to credit her for legal reasons, since it was her show they stole while acting like the original never existed, but she had jack shit to do with the development of the reboot. I'm also annoyed that the pilot for the reboot gave her writing credit, when uh…. that's a lie. There's the second network draft of the pilot script floating around that solely lists Jennie Snyder Urman, Jessica O'Toole, and Amy Rardin. Burge's name is nowhere to be found. Everything about the reboot states that it was developed by Urman; Burge had nothing to do with it.

Even if they seriously wanted to credit her, at least do it a different way? At least credit her with "Based on the series Charmed created by Constance M. Burge" or something like that?

Back to the main point: it really does feel like they packed 4 - 8 seasons worth of material into one season. Sometimes 3 seasons' worth of material into 1 episode.

Gods, this show is a mess, and what's sad is that season 1, compared to what comes later, is the best season of the reboot (and that isn't saying much, because man does season 1 have its problems). Like… maybe 15 episodes in and it still feels like the writers don't know these characters at all, which means the audience doesn't either.

They never know what to do with Mel (who comes across like a total dumbass when dealing with both the Elders and the Sarcana), Maggie is incredibly self-centered, Macy is the smartest out of the three (and also the only one that actually gives a shit at finding out anything about anything), but good grief.

The only thing Maggie cares about all season is getting into the Kappa sorority and her half-demon boyfriend Parker. Meanwhile I'm wondering why the hell she wants to be in this particular sorority so badly, because it is portrayed in the most stereotypical way possible and Kappa leader Lucy is such a shallow, vapid party girl bitch whose voice grates on my ears. (This is supposed to take place in Michigan, 2 hours away from Ann Arbor, so why does Lucy sound like she's from Orange County in California? I get that out-of-state students exist, but the actress's voice she uses for this particular character annoys the hell out of me.)

Another thing: Mel doing the history rewriting spell to protect Niko turns out to have been completely unnecessary because 1) Jada points out there’s another spell she could have used to protect Niko that didn’t involve rewriting her personal history; and 2) Mel ends up telling Niko anyway that she’s a witch. Because Niko ends up back in Mel’s life anyway as a PI investigating the Sarcana for Jada’s adoptive parents, and Mel cannot stay away from her (despite Niko being engaged to Greta in this timeline—the very same Greta she initially cheated on with Mel in their original timeline).

I still don't like how Macy's virginity is Such a Big Deal to all the other characters and how her love interest Galvin has more of a reaction to her being a virgin than he does to her being a witch. Even her sisters make a Huge Deal out of the fact she's still a virgin at 28, which Macy is visibly annoyed by because it's not that big a deal to her.

A ludicidade e o protagonismo na matemática são abordagens que colocam o educando ao lado com o objeto do conhecimento. Poder manusear, experimentar, compreender, pesquisar, ir a fundo, comunicar, construir e propor avanços ao conhecimento são atitudes do verdadeiro cidadão. Esta iniciativa se trata de um projeto do professor de matemática Marco Antonio Vieira com as turmas do 7° ano da EBM Clara Urman Rosa e surgiu com a proposta de motivação, fortalecimento e retomada de habilidades e conceitos prévios do componente de matemática. Por meio de estratégias de problematização e resolução de problemas observa-se a possibilidade de inserir a criatividade e a linguagem desafiadora dos jogos. Por meio da construção de jogos lúdicos, o aluno deixa a postura passiva de receptor de informações, para se tornar: narrador, problematizador e solucionador de situações problemas. Ao participar da construção desse enredo deixa a sua marca (obra) e constrói o seu próprio conhecimento. Foram apresentados aos alunos os seguintes projetos: A trilha das frações, o Quiz da regra de três, o Dominó da álgebra e o Pife das Potências. A construção teve uma proposta sustentável, fazendo uso apenas de materiais reaproveitados como o papelão e embalagens de alimentos, materiais que iriam para o lixo. Estima-se um total de 150 jogos construídos que permanecerão na escola e/ou serão doados para outros espaços escolares para uso de todos os alunos de primeiro ao nono ano nas aulas de matemática. O ato de jogar, desafiar-se, descobrir e vibrar ao solucionar um problema é algo gratificante e que marca a vida dos educandos e professores. Esta semana a secretaria de educação recebe uma amostragem desses jogos que ficarão expostas no hall de entrada da secretaria. O professor Marco Antonio comenta que “a proposta de um jogo em que o educando crie as problematizações, regras e desafios por si só já é inovadora e rompe paradigmas da educação, mas com a proposta do protagonismo na educação utilizando temas e enredos juvenis de aventura, terror, suspense, super-heróis e esporte, por exemplo, tornando a experiência de jogar repleta de descobertas e aprendizados.”Fonte: Prefeitura de Chapecó SC
