Lea Michele, along with Glee classmates Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith will “graduate” at the end of the coming season. “We always knew we’d graduate in real time. It’s all part of the plan and it’s all good!” Michele tweeted, putting her best pretty face on the situation. I’m a big old wet blanket when…

These days it can be hard to keep people’s attention for two minutes, no less two decades. That’s part of what makes the CBS series The Amazing Race so, well, amazing. The people behind the Emmy’s agree, giving the show a pair of nominations in the reality and host categories (Phil Keoghan) at Thursday morning’s…

Pepsi has taken more angles in trying to defeat Coca Cola than Ashton Kutcher with a camera in all those photo ads. Well, it took Santa Claus to do it but Pepsi finally “outcooled” Coke, at least for this summer. The TV spot with Santa and Mrs. Claus dancing and him slyly asking the bartender…

Sherwood Schwartz died Tuesday at the age of 94. Most people who watch TV show credits run at the end of programs remember him as the creator of The Brady Bunch and Gilligan’s Island. To me, he was practically like family. Or least his characters were. In Gilligan, I had a friend more clumsy and…

I like interleague play in Major League Baseball, but this is one night where the sport suffers for it: The MLB All-Star Game, to be aired on FOX at 8p ET. Gone are some matchups you would have waited all season, or a couple seasons, for and in its place is a game trying to…

Last week I credited television for the fact some quality shows like Cosby and Home Improvement can be seen during the day in recent years. Some television programmers, like TNT, also should be slammed, however, for allowing shows like Charmed and Angel to air at 8 a.m. Both deal with sorcery, wizardry and things like…

Reality shows can be addictive, even if some are not particularly healthy to be watching. Take ‘Big Brother’, … please, as the old joke goes. It’s an interesting study of how strangers behave when confined together for days, weeks and even months at a time. All for the lure of $500,000. Sounds tempting, right? Except…

When I was a kid growing up I noticed a neighbor of mine used to watch The 700 Club. It was a little odd in that I thought “church stuff” like that was just for Sunday mornings. I couldn’t see why somebody would want to watch Christian programming in the middle of the week. Not…

I like and admire Sean Hannity, a great deal. Those of you who read this blog on a semi-regular basis probably know that already. But when the FOX TV commentator laughed and scoffed at radio commentator Mike Gallagher’s suggestion that we consider using professional juries, I thought it was a bit disrespectful. Perhaps that’s because…

One of the benefits to the glut of television programming available over the past two decades is how it pushed really good shows into daytime viewing. Or anytime viewing. Programs like Law & Order, Everybody Loves Raymond, Home Improvement and The Cosby Show are on during late morning or afternoon hours almost all the time.…
