Shield definitely improved, but probably only about 50% as much as all your friends have told you it improved.

I still don't understand how this is an actual thing that is happening. It's one of those rare times where, cynical as I am generally about networks, I simply cannot believe there is one person at NBC who actually thinks this is a good idea.

That was me at the end of season 3 - I was ready to be done with every single one of them. I'd spend each episode folding laundry and hoping that like 10 characters would die in a sudden ambush. By the end of season 4, I started to care about the characters again. I assume by the end of season five, I'll be chanting,…

Hey! My 72 year old Dad says the Blacklist is terrific. As does my 65 year old neighbor.

In viewership total it's CBS. But NBC is #2 in total viewers. The really amazing thing is that NBC is up in all ratings measures, while the other networks are, I think, all down.

If I can't use NBC as my punching bag anymore, then I choose to replace it with ABC. Or maybe Fox. We'll see how next season shakes out.

Leap Year may actually be one of the single worst movies I've ever seen. Even watching it on Demand, for free, at 2:00 a.m. on Saturday night, I somehow felt like I paid too much to watch it. I jut don't understand how a movie with Adam Scott and Matthew Goode can be THAT bad. I don't THINK it was Amy Adams fault it…

I just want to say that it gives me hope for this country that this show absolutely bombed in the ratings last night and now there is no need for us to ever discuss it, nor really even acknowledge it ever existed, again.

The Swedish monarchy is the best. A Crown Princess married to her former personal trainer who kinda looks like Harry Potter and their adorable baby girl? And said Crown Princess shows up at the annual Gay Gala to hand out an award for "Gay, Bi, Trans of the Year?" And the younger princess sister who married an…

I agree. This was an "A" season if ever there was one. For me, this season of TGW has been as close to as perfect a season as I've seen from television in a long time.

What's amazing about Supernatural is that it is the last remaining show on air that actually aired on The WB. For this reason alone, I hope it stays on air forever (says the person who has never seen one episode of the show.) I still miss The WB. It was so very of it's time.

I was also wondering this. Was there really some executive somewhere who thought, "Boy. I think what the American people want is more of that girl from Smash on their televisions. No, not the charming, talented blonde. The other one. The brunette. Single moms have to be brunette."

As much as Stalker looks truly terrible in that way that I guess all Kevin Williamson things are truly terrible now (what's up with that?), I can totally see it as a lead out of Criminal Minds. Same type of focus on behavioral crimes, same type of ensemble cast (even though the trailer is mostly about McDermoney and…

The trailer for Fresh Off the Boat was absolutely terrific. I will absolutely be checking it out, even if giving my heart over to ABC comedies gives me palpitations.

Oh, dammit. I just watched the Selfie trailer. I'm going to love it. It's going to be cancelled in five episodes. Dammit, dammit, dammit.

I loved that show. Now I'm sad.

I don't understand why networks never learn this lesson. Never give shows stupid names, especially stupid names associated with a particular moment in the cultural zeitgeist that is already passe. That said, it turns out I'll basically follow Gillan, Cho, and Kapnek anywhere, probably even off the side of the ratings…

No, no. You're not biased. It's definitely going to be terrible.

So, do we think NBC blinks and scraps the plan to move Blacklist - at least to the previously announced timeslot - now that Scandal is taking the 9 p.m. Thursday spot? I'm not sure in a non-Olympics year where Blacklist is routinely the only scripted program for NBC pulling above a 2.0 that I'd risk it. Against an…

Having now had the misfortune of actually watching "Hieroglyph"'s trailer, it's utterly clear that Fox thought, "THIS IS THE NEW SLEEPY HOLLOW", while completely failing to understand why Sleepy Hollow worked and this show never, ever will. (Don't make me eat my words, America. Don't even think about it.)
