[TV orNotTV] Quickie Review: Mistresses

All you need to know: Alyssa Milano has a sex scene 90 seconds into the pilot episode and another sex scene at the tail end of the episode. In between sex scenes, she wears flattering clothing. My advice: Watch the show with the volume down; you'll get more out of it. Or find an old copy of "Embra

Oliver is an interesting option for the post-Dave "Late Show", but it does beg the question whether a late-night blocked helmed by f'rrners. I mean, I'm a huge fan of both Oliver and Ferguson, but...to use a hugely worn-out cliche, will it play in Peoria? (Or, I suppose, really, Omaha or Topeka

Re: [TV orNotTV] 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'

They need to call it The Jimmy Fallon Show and let him sink or swim on his own name instead of desperately trying to cling to the legacy of hosts long gone. But they won't because Fallon doesn't have enough of a name draw, and -- as we learned from Conan -- NBC isn't going to be patient and give hi

Three of the bosses talked to AOL Jobs (Really? That still exists?) to talk about life after their appearances on "Plebe For A Day".

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but doesn't SCG get first dibs/right of first refusal at 11:35 per his most recent contract? (I know Craig has said he doesn't WANT 11:35, but technically he's got the right to it.) On Monday, June 10, 2013 11:33:32 PM UTC-4, PGage wrote: > > On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at
