Season 8 of “American Ninja Warrior” has progressed its way through the quarterfinals, which means effectively that we’re on to the next big thing: The city finals! This leads us to Los Angeles Monday night, where combatants will put the grueling course to the test. With that in mind, let’s take a quick look at […]

When you look at the nominees, routinely they include “The Voice,” “Top Chef,” “The Amazing Race,” and “Project Runway.” All are good shows, but we suspect at times that the voters aren’t taking the category seriously and don’t […]
