Best Overall Host: Conan O’BrienHe’s still funny, even if he’s lost a bit of his zing over the years, and I think he’ll make a fine Tonight Show host. As long as he doesn’t have to carry over any of Jay Leno’s schtick.Worst Overall Host: Carson DalyJust give up! Nobody watches this [...]

1. Bill Moyers’ Journal (PBS)His guests are always interesting, well-spoken, and inspiring. Plus he’s the best journalist on TV, period.2. Everything on C-SPAN 1 & 2 (particularly the House proceedings and the call-in shows)Forget scripted television — Dennis Kucinich’s 5-hour resolution to impeach Bush in the House last night was the most entertaining thing on [...]

I know I’m going to get some shit for this, but I like The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet. For one thing, the hosts are so obviously disinterested, and probably drunk — and not in an annoying way like Kathie Lee. Speaking of which, has anyone seen the dragged-out trainwreck that has [...]

It seems like only yesterday that shows like 30 Rock and The Office started their most recent season, and now they’re over! What the hell?!I used to expect a good twenty episodes from a TV drama or comedy season, and it can’t be more than a few years since that was the standard. [...]

During her “shocking” interview on the Oprah show, Barbara Walters said of Rosie O’Donnell, “She had always driven the bus and she could not just ride the bus.”Huh? Barbara may be a legend of television, but apparently she doesn’t watch a lot of it, or she would already be aware of a little Rosie [...]

Plenty of shows have focused on the minutia of coupledom, from thirtysomething to Sex and the City, not to mention The L Word and [...]

It was bad enough when my favorite supernatural soap, Passions, decided to move to DirectTV, which I do not have (and I don’t know anyone who does).  Now after only a few months, they’ve announced they’re sick of it, and they’re dropping the show too!  Is there any hope for the kind citizens of Harmony?  [...]

1. WeedsYes, I’ve written about Weeds before (see Weeds: The Best Show Ever Made, which was quoted on the official Weeds website), but I can’t help but continue to sing its praises. This show’s writers are fantastic at getting characters, especially our hapless lady protagonist, out of seemingly impossible situations, but seriously, after watching the [...]

I never thought I’d be saying this, but Just Shoot Me isn’t that bad a show.  I’ve been watching it on reruns now that I’m unemployed, and it’s a lot like News Radio, in a way.  It’s actually got pretty sharp writing, much of the humor is character-driven, and darn it, I like David Spade.  [...]
