ABC: Drop dead, ‘Ted’
Viewers? We don't need no stinkin' viewers.
‘Burn Notice’: Who is Chuck Finley?

Ugh, I just can’t watch
This week, it hasn't been what I've watched so much as it's been what I haven't watched.
Weekly Wrapup
A look back at the best and worst of TV in the past week (June 21-26), and a peek ahead at what's coming up.
