‘My Own Worst Enemy' isn't the fall season's worst new series
This season's most heavily-promoted show - thank you, NBC Olympics - is "My Own Worst Enemy," which could also describes NBC's programming department.
‘Kath & Kim,' premiering Thursday night on NBC
If you thought all those gag-inducing ads for "Kath & Kim" that NBC ran during the Olympics were awful, wait until you check out the actual show.
‘The Tony Rock Project,' premiering Wednesday on MyNetworkTV
Launched in 2006 as an all-telenovela network, low ratings have reduced MyNetworkTV to a wasteland of beat-them-bloody extreme sports and tawdry reality shows. So give credit to "The Tony Rock Project," the comic revue that debuts Wednesday - at least it's aimed at viewers whose age and IQ total more than the price of a gallon of gas.
TV REVIEW: ‘Kath & Kim,' premiering Thursday on NBC
For nearly three decades, NBC's Thursday-night comedy block has lived up to its "must-see" billing. Half of the shows that have captured the Emmy for best comedy since 1983 have come from its ranks, including "Cheers," "The Cosby Show," "Friends," "Seinfeld" and, most recently, "30 Rock" and "The Office."
Dave on Demand: The television week in review
One hard and fast rule in the television business is "Never utilize a plot device copied from 'One Tree Hill.'"
‘The Ex List,' premiering Friday on CBS
"The Ex List," a new CBS series debuting on Friday (9 p.m. EDT CBS), is one of those mixed-bag kind of offerings.
‘Style' could be shorter
"Project Runway's" Tim Gunn wouldn't, I suspect, be caught dead in blue shoes, but there's no question he knows about dressing to catch (and not offend) the eye.
TV Addict: ‘Project Runway' gets interesting, only not onscreen
Finally! Something interesting is happening to "Project Runway." Sadly, it's not happening onscreen, where this snoozefest of a season continues to limp to the finish line. Despite a cavalcade of A-List guest judges, season five of "Runway" just didn't make it work. Even J-Lo knows it - she begged out of the season finale at the last minute claiming a foot injury. Interesting that she managed to complete a triathlon in Malibu the next day.
