Tonight’s “How to Make It in America” was the last I got to see in advance before I wrote my review of the series a month ago. While I still feel the show is engaging but too slight to merit any kind of episode-by-episode reviewing, I’m curious to hear from people who have stuck...

In today’s column, I lament how well NBC’s Olympics coverage is doing in the ratings , given how frustrating so much of it is. I asked a week ago what you thought of NBC’s coverage, and most of you were unhappy with it. That still the case? Here is the original post:  Even on NBC’s...

In this morning’s column , I spoke with “Men of a Certain Age” co-creator Mike Royce about the genesis of the show, its future prospects, and why people underestimated Ray Romano’s acting talents before they saw him on this gem of the show. In lieu of a review of the first season...

A quick review of tonight’s “30 Rock” coming up just as soon as I pre-apologize for clogging your tub, sink and toilet… There’s a generational thing with “Saturday Night Live” where the cast from your formative years is the cast you have the fondest memories...

Tonight’s “Big Love” offered up a whole lot of Bill Henrickson at his most smug, stubborn and irritating, and the return of Teeny in the body of a different actress, but it also had some great interaction between Nicki and Cara Lynn (who is absolutely her mother’s daughter),...
