Wednesday night doesn’t look like much now but in a few weeks it will look a lot better.
ABC has yet another hour of Dancing with the Stars (that’s five hours total for those counting) followed by a two-hour David Blaine extravaganza. ABC’s real Wednesday night lineup of Pushing Daisies — last season’s best new [...]
In the past, Tuesday nights have generally been one of the better nights of TV. In the past…
ABC has Opportunity Knocks, a new game show in which family members are asked trivia questions about one another, followed by another two hours of Dancing with the Stars. Eli Stone, ABC’s obligatory God talking to [...]
The official start of the new TV season begins tonight, although many shows premiered weeks ago, including the best new show of the season: HBO’s True Blood. There’s really nothing exciting about Monday night.
