  • NBC Wants "Chuck", But Cheaper

      Whatever happened to that saying "You've got to spend money to make money?" Either take the show or don't, Peacock.

  • American "Ab Fab" Is Not Happening

      Fox has passed on the American Ab Fab  after viewing the pilot episode. Why can't we Americans seem to get this right? Alison Waldman of TV Squad has a theory: The fact is that even with Jennifer Saunders on board to work on the American version, Absolutely Fabulous was an essentially British show. It was also a show of its ...

  • "How Bruce Lee Changed The World", Sunday Night At 8 On The History Channel

      Changed the world? Like Jonas Salk or Thomas Edison?

  • Neil Patrick Harris, Your "Tony Awards" Host

      For the June 7 broadcast. NPH reportedly wasn't the top choice to host. This guy, who would not have been as good, was... James Gandolfini.  Because he's starring in God Of Carnage on Broadway.
