We're trying to cut down on the amount of work it takes to do What's On Tonight, as well as highlight things that we genuinely think will be the best three or four things on TV that night (or at least the three or four most INTERESTING). We want to make this a better guide for you, ultimately.

I love The Monkees!

I am uncommonly excited for all three of these films. That is all.

Hey, I would watch it.

I'm with Zack. Sherlock is a much flashier show, but Elementary is a deeper, better one. I feel about Sherlock very similarly to how I felt about The West Wing after the first season of that show: I could never quite shake the feeling that the show was trying to flatter me as being very smart for being able to watch

Moffat's strengths are better experienced in miniature than in bulk, and Doctor Who has simply given us so much of what he does that the flaws always present in his work have become that much more obvious. If I were to boil it down to something, it's that he doesn't so much write stories as he does puzzles to be

I just interviewed him, and he told me he is 60 (seriously, this came up in the interview). Still, he's been making films with his daughter and son-in-law recently, so PBS will have a new generation of Burnses.

It's hard to know how much of this is the BBC and how much is the individual U.S. rights holders to their programming.

I would expect nothing less.

She's still around. She and the other two regulars (Scott Thompson and Aaron Abrams) sat out the panel, presumably so production could continue up in Toronto.

Considering Zack reviews neither of these shows, I think your point makes no sense.

I felt the headline didn't accurately reflect the content of the article, which was slightly cagier.

That's just it, though: Of course you and I don't read the arrogant side of pretentiousness into the program because we like it. Those who don't probably DO see that arrogance there, as strange as that might seem to us.

We got five, but then there was a later shipment of three late-season installments, and we also got the last two ahead of time. So, basically, we got all but a couple episodes of the season ahead of time. Those who wanted to catch up had ample opportunity.

We pay a flat fee for all articles, regardless of if they get one page view or 100 million.

Without saying too much, the two episodes I've screened reveal there are a range of opinions on this matter.

Hannibal is one of those rare shows where I love the shit out of it, but I can absolutely see why someone would hate it. (And I don't think the split is THAT rigid. I know plenty of new media folks who don't like it, like Willa Paskin over at Slate.) For the most part, those who don't like it either find the subject

I have a DVD with an unaired episode of this in my stairwell. I should release it to the wilds of the Internet.

Disney has made clear they see ESPN as the home for MNF, and it's really boosted ESPN's ratings/profile (the list of highest-rated cable broadcasts of all time is basically a list of MNF broadcasts). I don't know why, necessarily, they'd be cool with ABC taking TNF, but they apparently are.

In rank of who needs it:
