She has long quipped, “T.V. is my name, TV is my game.” Fortuitous initials aside, at the heart of a tired joke is a simple truth — she has a lifelong passion for television. And along with it, an affinity for movies, music and pop culture.
In a childhood time capsule, she had listed Friends , PB&J Otter , and Days of Our Lives among her favorite shows. But her tastes have not narrowed with age. Her viewing habits span TV Land classics, network hits, buzzy reality shows and streamer critical darlings.
Hoping to merge this passion with her love of writing, Taylor earned a bachelor’s in media arts and design with a minor in film studies from James Madison University. After working in marketing for years, she wanted to sharpen her skills and went on to graduate with a master’s in journalism from Georgetown University. Taylor has since pursued entertainment writing and reporting.
Thread Log in Here is a fact-based summary of the story contents: Try something different: Show me the facts Explain it like I’m 5 Give me a lighthearted recap High Potential has been a breakout hit for ABC , even earning the coveted spot after the upcoming Super Bowl LXI . The procedural follows Morgan Gillory ( Kaitlin Olson ), a single mom with a photographic memory and a knack for relating to strangers, who becomes a consultant for the Los Angeles Police Department. She is paired with Daniel Sunjata ’s Detective Adam Karadec who has a by-the-book approach to crime solving. Based on the French series HPI: Haut Potentiel Intellectuel , it was developed for American audiences by Drew Goddard . There’s been yet another behind-the-scenes shake-up in its short history. Deadline reported Nora and Lilla Zuckerman will take over as showrunners in Season 3, replacing Todd Harthan . He previously took over the role after Rob Thomas ’ exit.
R.J. Decker has taken over High Potential ’s typical Tuesday time slot. Following in the footsteps of Will Trent and The Rookie, ABC has pushed the series to its mid-season schedule. As viewers look to fill their time until High Potential returns for Season 3 in early 2027, Bones is the perfect replacement with its similar tone and crime-of-the-week format. For fans of Morgan and Karadec’s romantic tension, the FOX series has one of the best slow-burn romances in television history.

Its titular Dr. Temperance “Bones” Brennan ( Emily Deschanel ) works in the Medico-Legal Lab at the Jeffersonian Institute, a fictionalized version of the Smithsonian, and authors a popular series of crime novels. She partners with FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth ( David Boreanaz ), a former military sniper. Despite their initial reluctance, they soon become enmeshed in each other’s lives.
