How would “The Blacklist” fare on Thursday night against “Scandal”? This is a question that many have had for several months now, since NBC made a very bold move in shifting the drama series to a new night, and also against one of the most-watched dramas out there. How much of an audience do the […]
Clearly, today is a good day for many of your favorite NBC shows, and admittedly, there are a few surprises in the midst as well. Officially, “The Blacklist,” “Law & Order: SVU,” “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago PD,” and “Grimm” are all coming back for additional seasons. The renewals for “SVU” and “Grimm” to us are probably […]
For the most part last night, there were quite a few success stories in the ratings! How often do we really get to say that when it comes to primetime TV? It’s not particularly often, so let’s just leave it at that. Once again, though, the biggest winner of the entire winter season is “Empire.” […]
Sometimes, we wish that there was a platform out there to allow promising shows at least two seasons to find themselves. Maybe you do something like make the first season available to streaming providers early, or at least take a financial risk early to see if something great comes later.

Why not spend a minute or two talking about two things that seemingly do not go together at all? On one side of the coin, we have “The Today Show,” which is supposedly meant to be for a wide audience to enjoy. Then, we’ve also got “Fifty Shades of Grey.” This is meant for only very mature […]
A few years ago, we would have told you that DVR ratings are almost completely useless when determining whether or not a show should be brought back for another season. Now, the game has changed. More and more people are checking out recordings of various shows, mostly because they also have more and more stuff […]
It would not be the Super Bowl without there being some controversy regarding at least one of the advertisements, and today, much of that speculation is being thrown in the direction of Nationwide Insurance. The first ad that the company aired featured Mindy Kaling feeling invisible, at least until she finally found an insurance provider […]
In capping off our Super Bowl commercials series today, we are writing about a silly commercial for Mercedes-Benz that we’re still somewhat confused about.
