Donny Osmond has a career long fanbase, but the lowest judges scores recently. Mya's star as a recording artist has faded a little, but she's way ahead on judges' scoreboards. And Kelly Osbourne is just cute.
One of the three will take home the meaningless mirror ball trophy in tonight's [...]

The most successful show on TLC ended Monday with a whimper - that of Kate Gosselin saying she thought it shouldn't have ended this way.

A holiday special that suits my sensibility perfectly (if only because I am probably as curmudgeonly) is "Surviving the Holidays with Lewis Black" (History, 8 p.m.), done in a "I Love the 80s" style such that a number of mostly comics riff on their takes on traditions and their own [...]

As fun as it was to see the original "Seinfeld" cast back on the original "Seinfeld" sets (somebody had saved them for such an occasion), the reunion show within the season finale of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Sunday proved a kind of disappointment after all.
Not a disappointment in bold strokes, as [...]

Pretty late in the game for a non-elimination stop on "The Amazing Race." Already there are only four teams left and two weeks until the finale. About this stage, Phil usually says "keep on racing" and puts the pit stop at the end of a second episode - especially when [...]

There have been those stories of recipients of "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" who had been left to go broke on increased taxes and upkeep that came with a new home. But the volunteers who stepped up for the last Connecticut project for the show followed through to make sure that [...]

Couple of things in the mailbag lately. There's this from New Britain:
I just wanted to take time to let you know that I really appreciate the "Parents' Guide" column that has been appearing recently in the Hartford Courant. I realize it is a syndicated column but wanted you to know [...]

Except for an out of place revival of "Make Em Laugh" in the opening monologue, the still emerging actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt -- "(500) Days of Summer" was his big film credit -- mostly melted into the cast of "Saturday Night Live" this week.
