It lasted seven seasons, went out on top and probably had the very best series finale ever. Seinfeld, Friends, St. Elsewhere and The Sopranos are among the series finales […]

Back to work on Monday and one thing I noticed from the sports weekend. It seemed the networks did not want to compete with the U.S. Open on NBC. CBS Sports was mostly dark except for an America’s Cup recap late Sunday afternoon. ESPN decided not to feed ABC anything. No WNBA, no celebrity golf, […]

I’ll say one thing about CBS. It’s the #1 network in overall viewers. It’s right there in the race for viewers in the coveted 18-49 demographic. The so-called Tiffany Network doesn’t have to take risks and it appears in its fall schedule, it’s playing it safe. Unlike ABC which has 11 new shows, CBS’ new […]

Well, I’m still recovering from the cancellation of Jericho. Maybe another network can pick it up because the story needs to be told. I know, it’s a TV show, but I really got into it this season. I hate it when a good show is canceled for no good reason. Ok, let’s go to the […]
