Sometimes, NBC is kind of mean. The network, which had been keeping us from watching some excellent television throughout September and most of October, has delayed the season 5 premiere of Chuck by another week. We now need to wait until Friday, October 28 to see the beginning of Chuck season 5. Read more »

The fall of 2005 was a good season for comedy on TV. How I Met Your Mother premiered on CBS and the second season of The Office (aka the first good season) was on NBC. Six years later both shows are still on the air, and I‘m sorry to report that it‘s a bad thing.Out of blind loyalty I still watch The Office and How I Met Your Mother, but now it‘s more of a chore than a treat. These once-great comedies have lost their luster, and while I wish they were just not as good as they once were, I‘m afraid the truth is much worse. These shows are just plain bad.  Read more »

Ricky Gervais will host the Golden Globes for the second year in a row on January 15, and he wants us to know that he‘s learned "nothing at all" from last year‘s outrage about his jokes at the stars‘ expense. He also says this "WILL be [his] last turn as host. At least for a long time anyway.""I did it twice because I wanted to improve on the first year‘s performance. I think I did that," Gervais, who says he‘s still in the midst of preparing for this year‘s ceremony, writes in the Huffington Post today. But Gervais, who‘s also been busy debating religious fundamentalists on Twitter, says that he didn‘t slam Charlie Sheen, The Tourist (gasp!), Robert Downey Jr. and Sex and the City 2 because he enjoys offending celebrities. He did it for us.  Read more »

Today the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and the NAACP both announced their annual awards nominations. While there are several gay and African-American characters on TV, these awards usually highlight the lack of diversity by picking out such obscure nominees.

Oh sure, I‘m mildly interested in the actual football game, but that‘s just because, if the Giants lose, my brother will cry.  Read more »

This year‘s Screen Actors Guild Award nominations are a very mixed bag for television. The comedy side is full of stale, aging shows like 30 Rock and The Office while completely ignoring fresh, newer faces like New Girl or Parks and Recreation. For dramas, however, there were some big surprises, none more shocking than the nomination for Patrick J. Adams from USA‘s Suits.  Read more »

When Comedy Central created the Comedy Awards last year, it seemed like a joke. In fact, South Park devoted an entire episode to mocking the concept of an awards show for comedy. But looking at this year‘s nominees, it‘s hard to argue that these awards are infinitely better than any other awards show when it comes to television.  Read more »
