Correction Appended: May 21, 2012 The Cure for Reruns Debuts aren't just for fall Dallas Who revived J.R.? We've seen TV remakes (Charlie's Angels) and reimaginings (Battlestar Galactica), but this is more like a restoration of the classic oil-family soap. Many of the same actors and characters return--including J.R. (Larry Hagman), Bobby (Patrick Duffy) and ...

Idol Watch: Are You In a Rut, America?
Spoilers for last night’s American Idol finale below: Was anyone surprised? I don’t want to take anything away from Phillip Phillips. Though his music is not to my taste, I came to appreciate over the American Idol season that he does what he does well, and between him and the powerful but generic Jessica Sanchez [...]
Idol Watch: The Sing-Off
I’m not convinced that American Idol finale performances actually mean anything. They don’t happen in a vacuum; fans have the whole season to base their votes on, and they’ve already fallen into camps. I’ve seen enough Idol finales where an underdog had a great night–and lost anyway. Still, there are the casual viewers you can [...]
Glee Watch: NYADA, NYADA, NYADA
Spoilers for the season finale of Glee below: One beef I often have with Glee episodes is that they move too fast, go in too many directions, try to cram in too much at once. You might say that about “Goodbye,” the season 3 finale, but in this case that approach seemed about right. It’s [...]
Girls Watch: A Spartan Existence
Hannah comes home to East Lansing and visits the netherland between college and full-fledged, independent adulthood, in an outstanding episode co-written by Judd Apatow.
Breaking Bad Returns for (Half of) Its Last Season July 15
Walter White will be the one who knocks on your TV screen July 15, when Breaking Bad returns for its fifth and final season on AMC July 15. But you won’t have to say goodbye too soon, because the show will re-return for the same final season next summer: confirming what has been an open [...]
Game of Thrones Watch: Suffer the Children
A setting-things-up episode involved a lot of storylines about children and parents, the complicated ways in which characters hurt the ones they love and how the ones you love can be used to hurt you.
Community Without Dan Harmon? Suits Axe Auteur, and Fans Lose
Harmon was one of a small but growing number of TV creators who are inseparable from their shows. He was also, admittedly, a royal headache of an employee. But by making the show without him, the studio and NBC may be punishing the audience most.
Dead Tree Alert: Summer TV Preview; Plus, the Shows I’m Most Intrigued by for Fall [VIDEO]
In the new print issue of TIME, we have our summer Arts preview (subscription required), in which I blurb 11 summer TV shows I’m most interested in seeing. This is not to say the “best” shows of the summer, because they’re shows that I have not yet watched (the new series, like The Newsroom), whose [...]
Upfronts Watch: The CW: More Beauties, More Beasts
The last of the networks to present, on Thursday, revamped its schedule in a way that even more clearly focused on its specific specialties: soap, relationships and fantasy.
Upfronts Watch: CBS: Eye on the Prize
Getting a show on CBS is a bit like taking a job with an old-line Fortune 500 company instead of a startup; a little stodgy, maybe, but with a nice pension and good benefits, and hey, where are you going to find that anymore?
Mad Men Character Study: Sympathy for Betty
Sue me, but I like Betty Draper/Francis as a character. The problem is that Mad Men doesn't. Betty's not the worst character on the show, but she's probably the worst-served.
Upfronts Watch: ABC: Once More, With Feelings
In its latest turn of branding, ABC is about feelings. Or as President Paul Lee put it in his address to advertisers at the network’s upfront, “Why just watch, when you can feel?” Right now, every president of a porn network is kicking himself for not having that slogan first.
Upfronts Watch: Fox Tinkers, NBC Laughs Through Its Tears
I was out of town yesterday as broadcast-network upfront season began, with NBC and Fox announcing their new fall schedules for advertisers. I’ll be attending and/or following the remaining announcements this week, and I’ll have some more thoughts on the new NBC and Fox shows later, when I’ve seen pilots, but here’s the quick-and-dirty on [...]
The Morning After: Smash Ends Its Season, With a Bombshell and a Whimper
Quick spoilers for the season finale of Smash below: …and so Smash concludes its first season as it began, wildly applauding for itself. The season-ender (NBC has announced the show will return in midseason next year) wrapped up the Karen-or-Ivy question by declaring itself Team Karen, and, apparently, assuming that we all were too. As [...]
