Sue and the CBS site have the full week's list.  No candidates, though I suppose the show may have tried and failed to book any. I will note another Friday repeat.  Given that the show recently started a Friday Night Fights segment, I doubt that the show will go permanently to 4 nights a week l

I struggle to think of any UK TV production that has come under such intense scrutiny as the new series of Top Gear. There are endless stories about it, it's production and so on. As I've said before, I'd be amazed if it's anything like its predecessor (And it's worth noting that there was a previ

Well Top Gear is too much of a money spinner for the BBC for it to stop production. And unless the ratings fall off a cliff, it'll continue to be made on a pretty regular basis.

That's a guilty pleasure of mine even though the "Saint Marie" crime-rate would surely make any sane Brit visiting for a holiday/dive/archaeological-dig think twice about visiting since the chance they get bumped off is extraordinarily high. It's always amusing to see a relatively decent cast of a
