What Monday night’s TV lineup did more so than any other is present us with further proof of one simple truth: The ratings the week of Thanksgiving are always lower than usual. There isn’t much in the way of bad news to report here, that is unless you are one of those cynical people who […]
On Monday CBS wasted little time in announcing the premiere dates for their new and returning series this midseason, and for the most part there is clearly a lot to look forward to … at least so long as you don’t love “Person of Interest.” There’s still no word on its launch date, and that […]
There’s a common phenomenon that happens with scripted television: If you take it off for a week for whatever reason, for some reason viewers have trouble finding it again. It’s almost like they have a full fourteen days without it in their life, and then think that they don’t really need to watch it to be […]

While we’re not sure that there is any other day of the year in which we would get this excited to watch a dog show, the National Dog Show on NBC has become an annual tradition. To us, it’s that perfect program to watch while you are cooking the turkey and getting some side dishes […]
