Alias

Put Holmes and Watson in, coach! (And other sports metaphors!) Also: Undaunted by ratings losses, PBS soldier on and—OH LOOK, PUPPIES! 

“You have to trust someone has an idea of what the story is, so you can be in the moment, and not be outside of yourself, watching.”

Some of the year’s new shows summarize themselves better than others, but we’re here to equalize.

Cabin In The Woods’ director talks around his twist-filled film in a spoiler-free discussion of horror, horror commentary, and the appeal of cabins. 

South Park returns for season 16, and its earnest attempts to shock us now just seem so adorable. Also: new ABC comedies, Rottweilers in E.R.'s, and way too much Jennifer Lawrence talk.

It's March, so it's time for ABC to burn off a low-rated but awesome comedy just because it can. This year's victim? Happy Endings. Also: Pizza, obsessions, and lacrosse.

In honor of Leap Day, Top Chef completes its latest season. Also: Psych and America's Next Top Model are back, and, like, 55 different shows do Leap Day episodes.

Suburgatory’s all like “Hey, people still laugh at Jersey Shore, right?” Also: Spring smackdown, carnival justice, and all your middle-school crushes.

Been wondering if one gender is better than the other? Well, fear not, because Survivor's about to answer all your questions. Also: Stupid Canadian spelling, James Wolk taunts, and Bieber. 

ABC's comedies are back, and all but one of them are celebrating Valentine's Day six days early. Also: Raccoons, Marvel movies, William Devane, and American Idol's Hollywood round. 

What's on tonight? Nothing's on tonight, that's what. Okay, well, Pee-Wee Herman's on Top Chef, and American Idol's going to Oregon, and also, PBS is cutting open sharks. But that's it.

Kiefer Sutherland and Tim Kring (shudder) return to television with Touch, about people who are connected and blah, blah, blah. Also: Nothing! It's all reruns tonight!

It's time for American Idol to come back and dominate the land, and it will demand sacrifices from all of the other networks. Also: Comedy! Fried things! Royal Pains!

Our Modern Family coverage calls in a relief reviewer, just in time for the show to get egg all over its face. Also: More comedy, Restaurant Wars, and Brad Pitt's hands.

Every week, we cover The Middle, and every week, you ignore us. Well, no more! Also: More ABC comedies, the return of Revenge, and the sad tale of the Orange Bowl.

TV Club Classic returns to your monitors this week, with the full slate of your favorites up and running again.

This hasn't been the world's best Amazing Race season, but we're still hoping the show pulls it out for the finale. Also, the finale of Boardwalk, the debut of Luck, and a good football game.

“If you could have any TV couple as your parents, who would you choose?” 

Back in the days when it was one of the biggest hits on television, the big question was always why nothing ever worked after Lost.
