Happy New Year, everyone. The writers’ strike might still be on, but there are some good news for TV worms out there: some shows are coming back, and some new ones are being launched – as early as this Tuesday, January 1st. The networks might be bitching about the lack of new programming, and being [...]

Too bad about the non-existent ceremony, or the ‘news-conference’ as NBC called it. The awards were embarrassingly lame, self-absorbed, and prophetic – that’s the glimpse of things to come. In a year or two this will be news, this will be the headlines. In any case, if you remove the presentation, the winners are actually [...]

The writers’ strike is beginning to affect the current shows. There are the basics – November is normally a sweeps month, so most of the shows have many episodes in the bank, already written and completed. Because December and January are typically slow – holidays and reruns – a few networks complete at least half [...]

Oh, what hopes have been dashed by this flimsy ‘Desperate Housewives’ rip-off. Oh, how I’ve waited to see Christopher Titus back on television. You remember him, from the short-lived (ok, 3 seasons is not that short) sitcom Titus – about a hilariously dysfunctional family. You probably remember all the male leads from all kinds of [...]

Now that the show has premiered, and the insane media spin is slowly fading out, let’s talk about it. Frankly. It’s bad enough this show reminds me of just how wonderful Alias was, and how quickly it was sabotaged by its own creators and network (thanks, ABC and JJ Abrams), Chuck also shows how easily [...]

Well, Labor Day is over, and this can only mean one thing – unless FOX is jumping the gun and launching half the season in the end of August (those pesky ratings will make you do strange things), the new TV season is upon us. For those still tuning in to the telly, and not [...]

Another award show nominations are out, and another series of disappointment for us. There’s nothing for Leary and his team from Rescue Me, there’s too little for Scrubs/Office/30 Rock/Earl, and there are way too many noms for HBO shows. Obviously, the last episode of Sopranos was nominated. I could have told you that back in [...]

CBS is still the king of ratings, but they’ve always struggled with younger crowds. Who can blame them – when your most popular shows are CSI franchise, Criminal Minds and 60 minutes, who do you think is going to tune in? So this year, they’re bringing out teen programming. I hope it’s better than it [...]

NBC, being the last network in ratings for two seasons straight, is beginning to catch on. No, they’re not necessarily putting on better shows (only time will show that, as we found out with demise of Studio 60), they’re simply announcing their sked sooner, in order to create some buzz. At this point, positive or [...]

Year after year, FOX has been ahead of the network pack in announcing their schedules, bringing new ideas to television (American Idol is still a HUGE draw, despite multiple imitations), and just thinking ahead. So it’s no surprise that FOX is the first of the networks announcing the fall schedule. I guess the fact that [...]
