When it was theorized to Mark Harmon last year that less than 5 percent of the A.V. Club readership would admit to watching NCIS, he didn't hesitate for a second before replying, "If it’s possible for a ...

Join The A.V. Club at 6 p.m. Eastern as we live-chat the big game.

It must be fun to be the showrunner of a series in its eighth season. Sure, your ratings probably aren’t what they used to be, but they’re likely decent. You’ve probably had a fairly stable production groove ...

If the new Showtime series Inside Comedy looks suspiciously familiar, that may be because you vaguely remember Sit Down Comedy With David Steinberg, which ran for two seasons on TV Land from 2005-07. The two shows are nearly identical in ...

This TV season, we’ve got so many writers who’ve seen these pilots that we thought getting two takes on each show would be helpful to you. The first review is the “official” TV Club review, and the grade ...
