(World Premiere)
Saturdays at 11 p.m. ET/PT beginning September 5 (repeats Fridays at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT beginning September 11)
In this multi-channel universe being run by misguided tele-visionaries, only one man has the confidence-instilling inflection to rehash, recap and dissect all the goings-on and goings-wrong of the wide world of television. His name is Stone Phillips, but he’s unavailable. Instead, TV’s Jonathan Torrens stands and delivers the State of the TV Nation, pruning the bushes and pulling the weeds from all over the television landscape.

(World Premiere)

This series of celebrity “rebounds” chronicles how some of Tinseltown's most famous faces came back “from the dead” to reach superstardom for a second time - by way of commentary and insights from pop-culture experts (journalists, television commentators); juicy tid-bits from industry insiders (publicists, agents, managers) and insightful interviews from “in-the-know” colleagues (actors, producers, directors). All combined with a wide variety of clips, photographs, and animated “collages” each episode of Killer Comebacks celebrates a single stars up, down and back up again ride in all its pop culture glory.
