Car TV Part II – Dallas Car Sharks (Velocity 8:30 PM Tuesdays) This program follows four car dealers in Dallas; each week they go to an auction, buy a car, fix it up and sell it for a profit. There’s a bit of drama in the form of friendly rivalries [...]
We live in interesting times for TV; there are many channels, and content producers don’t mind copying each other, so every successful program has at least one copycat. Nowhere is this “borrowing” of ideas more prevalent than in the sub-genre I call Car TV. There are several programs about finding, [...]
TV Scoop readers it is with great excitement that I declare the fall TV premiere season is upon us; this week and next offer just a smattering of premieres but the following weeks will bring a torrent of new programs and returning favorites. This month also marks the end of [...]
Last week I shared with you about TV Forecast, an app that helps keep track of upcoming episodes of your favorite TV programs. But what happens when you catch a random episode of a series that is well into its first season, or perhaps even a later season? If you [...]
So far this week we have taken a look at watching Real Housewives of New Jersey, Eat, Drink, Love and Interior Therapy with Jeff Lewis.

Guys, the time has come for us to take a look at Bravo, the favorite network of the women in our lives. This week we will be checking out four programs; three you’re going to like and one, well, probably not so much. I’m like Don Vito Corleone in that [...]
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (Food Network, 9:30 PM Monday) Local legend Guy Fieri travels the country looking for great food at reasonable prices, I am a regular viewer, and I make episodes like this week’s that feature Bay Area restaurants a top priority; if it weren't for DDD I would [...]
Madonna still wins the award for best opening, and weird as it may have begun, Lady Gaga’s opening performance was pretty freaking awesome. The woman is crazy, but she sells crazy well, and she can back it up with her talent! I dozed three times during Justin…zzz…Justin…zzz…Justin Timberlake’s performance – [...]

Greetings fellow television fans, fanatics, addicts and enthusiasts; welcome to our blog about TV for the Press Democrat Online.
