ABC's comedy "Up All Night" was on the bubble and in the midst of a revamp... but that bubble may have burst. Star Christina Applegate announced Friday she is leaving the series. According to the Associated Press, the actress decided to leave after the show headed in a "different creative [...]
SUNDAY “The Grammys” (8 p.m., CBS): LL Cool J hosts, with performances by Fun, Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Elton John and others. Almost as important: What will they be wearing? (Apparently, nothing too risqué: The network requested stars not expose too much skin at the ceremony.) Ah, family reunions. [...]
There’s something going on this weekend, specifically today. Let’s see, what was it again? … Ah, yes: The Super Bowl. On Sunday, you might as well just give in and watch, or clean out your DVR. (Also a great day to go shopping… no crowds.) But here’s what’s on the [...]
On Sunday, it’s all about football. With two big games on, will there really be time to watch anything else? Other than that, there are a couple of debuts and a swan song. Here are the highlights: SUNDAY The San Francisco 49ers face the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC championship [...]
SUNDAY HBO brings back “Girls” (9 p.m., HBO) and “Enlightened” (9:30 p.m., HBO) for their second seasons. Will the critically acclaimed “Girls” be able to hold on to its buzz? On Showtime, three series return: “Shameless” (9 p.m.), “House of Lies” (10 p.m.) and “Californication” (10:30 p.m.). MONDAY “Sex and [...]
It’s midseason, so that means the networks have to plug some holes created by shows old (goodbye, “Gossip Girl” and “Private Practice”) and new (so long, “Made in Jersey” and “Animal Practice”). Of course, there are the obligatory cop and doctor shows, as well as new dating and food competitions [...]
Like that Thanksgiving turkey, the TV schedule has been picked clean, of debuts at least. (January, however, looks to be a very busy month.) So, what to watch? Fortunately, many old favorites are still showing first-run episodes… for now. Here’s a sampling of what’s on this week. SUNDAY Arguably the [...]
I guess TV didn’t need another doctor show after all. The CW canceled “Emily Owens, M.D,” although the show will finish out its 13-episode run. And while Fox didn’t officially axe “Mob Doctor,” it’s burning off the remaining four episodes in unfavorable time slots, including on Saturdays and New Year’s [...]
This week, it's all about the Peanuts gang, music awards and the premature onslaught of Christmas programming. Here's what's on: SUNDAY “The Walking Dead” (7 p.m., AMC) continues its stellar season, but I’m still reeling from a few weeks back. For those who haven’t caught up, I won’t ruin it. [...]
Noooooooo. After a long, dry spell where the networks gave the heave-ho to only two new series ("Made in Jersey" was first to go, followed by "Animal Practice"), the networks appear to be making up for lost time. Three new shows were just canceled: CBS buddy comedy "Partners," supernatural sudser [...]
