The network that was once known for pulling its weaker shows too early, before they develop legs and audience, is finally sticking with most of its current lineup. Not only that, ABC is also bringing in plenty of new shows – which is a sign of confidence. Or, perhaps it’s just stubbornness. First of all, [...]
The smaller, but not necessarily less important WB network has announced its fall schedules, and there are no surprises. The big hits stay, maybe on a different night, and new guys are brought in to keep the network somewhat competitive. WB has proved year after year that all you need is one good show, possibly [...]
Right off the bat, I gotta tell you – I like the show. I’ve tuned in from the very first episode (you know, the one without the commercial interruptions, proving that the network does not need to resort to breaks, if the advertising is embedded). But lately, I’m concerned with just how long this pace [...]
The once-unstoppable network has announced its partial fall lineup today, a little ahead of FOX, ABC and CBS, and the despair is showing. It’s not very obvious, especially if you don’t look where some of the shows are being moved, why other shows are being canned, and what new shows are about. Not very obvious [...]

Is your favourite show going to come back in the fall? Take a [...]
Whew, it’s finally over. Kelly has been hired (sorry for spoiling it for everyone), Jen has been obliterated, the entire Apprentice 2 team has shown up for the very last time, Regis worked the crowd, and the entire last episode has lasted only 180 minutes. Minus the commercials. Boy, this has been quite a long [...]
Many of you are probably still talking about that Super Bowl accident, when Janet Jackson’s breast was revealed on live television for a few seconds. This supposed “accident” is sending shockwaves throughout the TV industry, and the consequences are already affecting us all. To some viewers, this alleged “wardrobe malfunction” may seem trivial, even hardly [...]
Ah, the award season is upon us. What else is there to do during those long, dark Sunday evenings, when the cold wind is keeping us all locked up inside. Let’s tune in to the Golden Globes, shall we? The ‘Globes’ are by far my favourite award show. I know that many of you will [...]
Reality shows. We all love to hate them, especially since they made quite an impact on our everyday TV show lineup. But that didn’t last for very long and about a year ago we were promised that all major networks are going to “trim down” their “reality” lineups, but alas, it is not so. Whether [...]
