As many TV shows come to a close, networks shift their focus to fall. Will your favorite show stay to entertain another year, or was this season's finale its last? And what new shows did the networks pick up in the hopes that they will become your next favorites? The [...]
This week is a busy one for season finales, so here’s a look at some shows that are ending (for now): SUNDAY “The Amazing Race” (8 p.m., CBS) ends with a two-hour finale. MONDAY Martha Stewart guest-stars on “2 Broke Girls,” (8 p.m., CBS) as Max and Caroline try to [...]
After a few weeks of high-profile returns and new-series debuts, I can't find much to get excited about this week, other than new episodes of all the old stand-bys, and the season finale of "The Good Wife"... which only means I'll have to wait months before it's back. Nevertheless, here's [...]
I’m beginning to think this weekly post should be called watch what’s on Sunday, since that seems to be when many of the best shows are on. Some shows to look for this week: SUNDAY After two successful sitcoms, Julia Louis-Dreyfus goes for a third with “Veep” (9 p.m., HBO). [...]
SUNDAY As “Desperate Housewives” takes a break leading up to its final episodes, ABC airs back-to-back episodes of its new comedy “GCB” (9 p.m.) On Showtime, not one, not two, but THREE series return tonight: “Nurse Jackie” (9 p.m.), “The Big C” (9:30 p.m.) and “The Borgias” (10 p.m.). TUESDAY [...]
SUNDAY “Game of Thrones” (9 p.m., HBO) and “The Killing” (8 p.m., AMC) both return tonight for their second seasons. “Game of Thrones” is the kind of show you watch with lights off, curtains drawn and your cellphone stowed. Even the opening credits need to be watched, since they help [...]
For me, this week is more about counting down… only seven days until the premiere of “Game of Thrones” on HBO. I'll be watching the usual new episodes of "New Girl," "Community," etc... But if you want something a little different: SUNDAY The critically acclaimed “Mad Men” returns to AMC [...]
I recently compared several similar-themed shows to see how they measured up against one another. Here’s a look at how, in one reviewer’s opinion anyway, six more shows compare. Battle of the musicals: NBC’s “Smash” vs. Fox’s “Glee” The soapy drama “Smash” centers around efforts to bring a musical about [...]
Need a break from March Madness? Here are a few options. (If you’re a true NCAA basketball fan, though, you probably won’t have time to watch anything else this week.) SUNDAY “The Walking Dead” ends its second season tonight on AMC. It’s a great time to catch up since AMC [...]
This week, CBS announced the renewal of a slate of shows, including rookies “Person of Interest” and “2 Broke Girls.” Other shows returning next year (most of them no-brainers) include “Survivor,” “The Good Wife,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “The Big Bang Theory,” “The Amazing Race,” “Undercover Boss,” “Hawaii Five-0,” [...]
SUNDAY I’m not saying watch it. I’m just saying it’s on… as if Iran doesn’t have enough bad press, we have the debut of “Shahs of Sunset,” another reality show featuring colorful (translation: obnoxious) characters behaving badly, including a self-proclaimed “Persian princess” who hates ugly people. Sigh. It’s on Bravo. [...]
