Lots of Halloween treats tonight - check out our summary and listings. --- "Conan" starts broadcasting in NYC tonight. --- Bill Burr on Fallon tonight. --- We found an hourlong interview with Matt Weiner vid. --- All this + more & the TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan. more ›

A wave of hate seem to issue forth when TBS announced its cancellation of "Lopez Tonight." Hey, not everybody is funny to everyone but at least Lopez was providing a funnier and better show for people who might otherwise turn to Leno. --- All this plus the weekend TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan more ›

TBS has cancelled "Lopez Tonight" after Conan's bump causes dramatic ratings slide. --- PaleyFest Family focuses on Disney Channel and Cartoon Network this weekend. --- Great new eps of "Louie," "The Green Room," "Chelsea Lately," "Childrens Hospital," & "NTSF:SD:SUV" tonight. more ›

Conan O'Brien takes the honor of Guest Programmer at TCM tonight very seriously - his film picks are great and his tenure will be very funny. It all starts at 5pm on TCM. --- "Chelsea Lately" is the only late night show with a new episode tonight & it's a great one! --- HuffPo not telling the whole story about comedian (and Chelsea regular) Jo Koy. more ›

Hard to believe it's already been a year since we last went to the Screen Actors Guild Awards and while it's a shame that we won't be there this year, we look forward to going back next year. [check out our 2009 and 2010 coverage]. Was it only last year that Sandra Bullock pulled then-husband Jesse James onto the stage in the press room to urge us all to applaud for this "handsome" man who "has been so supportive" of her and her efforts? I guess we'll be missing timeless moments like that this year. We felt awful for her but, then again, look at that frickin' guy, it's like she was asking for trouble. more ›

We give you a run down of our experiences at the Television Critics Association Winter sessions so far: hanging with the crews from "Sons of Anarchy" and "Bob's Burgers," visiting the Conan O'Brien and George Lopez sets and more. Read some of our quotes from Conan and check out the TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan for tonight. more ›

NBC announced its midseason Thursday night line up for 8pm-11pm: “Community”, “Perfect Couples”, “The Office”, “Parks and Recreation”, “30 Rock”, and “Outsourced”. The LA Times responded to this by asking the moronic question "Can you laugh after 10pm?" Okay, sure, they referenced HBO's "Entourage" which airs at 10pm on Sundays but that's not what this is about. Of course, the Times might have asked the question in order to get a discussion going but not listing any weeknight comedy shows in the 10pm slot is silly. more ›

Of course "Conan" opened to stellar ratings last night but as we discussed yesterday, the trick for O'Brien will be to see if he can sustain an audience and continue to convert his new media followers into regular viewers of his TV show. It seems highly unlikely that he will be able to keep the same numbers as he had last night, but if he held onto even half of them, "Conan" would be an overwhelming success. more ›

What could be more important tonight than the debut of Conan O'Brien's new show, "Conan", on TBS at 11pm. Books have literally been written in to tell the story of how O'Brien got to this point in his career. Sure he's got Seth Rogen and Jack White guesting but they're not the reason to tune in tonight. It's no surprise that Letterman and Leno have lined up some heavy hitters as guests, from Han Solo to The Terminator but they won't hold a candle to Conan's storming of the late night airwaves. more ›

As the comeback clock counted down, fans gathered outside of Warner Bros studios days before the taping (well, 5 of them anyway), holding vigil for standby tickets in anticipation of the the carrot-topped-one's heroic return to the late-night television. more ›

It was kind of disappointing to click onto the Yahoo! TV News page earlier today to have 1/3 of the stories be crime-related. From David Cassidy's DUI to the report of a contestant of "The Bachelorette" being found dead off of Route 74. While we're not sure if an actual human maintains that page for Yahoo! or if it's assembled by content tags, we're not sure if the connections between criminal activity and TV shows are on the increase, if they're blown out of proportion, or if, in some cases [think Charlie Sheen, Heidi Montag, etc.] these situations happen as part of some cynical PR programs. Were there always this many drunk/deranged idiots involved in showbiz or has showbiz, in an effort to appeal to the lowest common denominator, built itself around these debased antics? It appears to be the latter. more ›

Not only is there a new (excellent) episode of "Sons of Anarchy" (FX @ 10pm) but the show now has an iPhone/iPad app for you to get exclusive photos, bonus clips, script pages, and more - make sure your iPhone has 3.2 OS or above. Check out the demo vid with series creator Kurt Sutter at the end of this post. more ›

In anticipation and promotion of his return to television (Nov 8/TBS), Conan O'Brien has taken to the atmosphere in a bright orange blimp. Until now, only the East Coast was forced to suffer this aerial trauma, but an announcement earlier confirmed our greatest fear, the Conan blimp is coming to the West Coast. Blimps are terrifying. This emotion is best expressed in the 2005 cathartic classic, The Blimp Song. more ›

In anticipation of Conan O'Brien's return to the television machine (TBS, November 8), Team Coco Headquarters is offering a special 24-hour live stream of behind the scenes action from behind the red-haired curtain, today! more ›

The TV Junkie Plan: "Vampire Diaries", "American Chopper", "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia", "The League", "Lopez Tonight" (Tim Gunn, Thomas Jane, Devo!!), Fallon (Jon Hamm) more ›

In Burbank, a lot of economic hopes are pinned on one funny, irreverent redhead. Comedian Conan O'Brien, ousted from his brief tenure as host of the Tonight Show and fresh from a wildly successful stage show tour, has announced he will film his new late-night show for TBS in Burbank at Warner Bros. Studios. more ›

When Conan O'Brien took over for Jay Leno, he and his team all moved from New York City to here. Now without a network job and a new show coming to TBS, where is he going? At his stage show last Saturday--coincidentally at the Gibson Amphitheater, just a few hundred yards away from his old studio--he said he's staying in Los Angeles. That news was announced earlier this month, but by gaging the audience's reaction, it was news to most. more ›

The TV Junkie Plan: "Attack of the Show", "How I Met Your Mother", "Rules of Engagement", "24", "The Daily Show" (Bryan Cranston guests!), Ferguson (Tim Gunn) more ›

In a surprise move that many are calling a shocker, Conan O'Brien is heading to TBS, expanding late-night TV for cable. “In three months I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable. My plan is working perfectly," Conan joked in a statement. more ›

Nominations announced for the 16th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - the Actor Awards Ceremony will be broadcast on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010 on TNT and TBS at 8pm. The complete list of nominees is available here. more ›

TBS is seeing an increase in viewership during the 2009 MLB Divisional Series. In the first two days of the LDS, TBS is averaging a 3.1 household rating and a 15% increase in total viewers (4,525,000 vs. 3,929,000). The LDS has averaged 3,526,000 households in the first two day making it the highest two-day average for the LDS since 2005. All key demographics have seen an increase with males aged 18-34 increasing 19% from last year. Locally yesterday's Cardinals-Dodgers game got a 6.5 rating in Los Angeles, and the Red Sox-Angels game got a 8.0. more ›

Congrats to Bravo for it's best April ever in terms of viewership. Strange to us that "The Real Housewives of New York City", "The Millionaire Matchmaker" , and "Make Me A Supermodel" can fuel that kind of growth during these times but evidently a lot of people we know are watching these shows without copping to it. more ›

The TV Junkie Plan: "Better Off Ted", "Lost" (maybe), "MythBusters" (if not "Lost"), "South Park", "Reno 911!", Letterman, Fallon. more ›

Critics are being rather forgiving of Jimmy Fallon's (only slightly shaky IMHO) "Late Night" debut: they brought out DeNiro who is always a tough interview and Fallon kind of made it work, and Timberlake kind of saved the first show - not sure why they had Van Morrison on, are they trying to reclaim the age 55-and-up demographic? more ›

Last week we went to a sneak preview of Demetri Martin's new show on Comedy Central, "Important Things With Demetri Martin", which premiere's tonight at 10:30pm. The show has been in the works since last Spring so we are happy to see it make it on air. more ›

John Lehr is the co-creator and star of TBS' "10 Items or Less" which airs at 11:00pm on TBS (tonight!). Lehr has been a comedian, improv actor, a writer for several TV shows, a regular on Christina Applegate's "Jesse", and one of the original GEICO cavemen (see his transformation to caveman on his website). "10 Items or Less" was first broadcast as a five-episode "demo" last year but was picked up for a full season this year. We had a chance to talk to Lehr as he traversed the country promoting the show. more ›

More post-Super Bowl hype: Nielsen says 95 million watched, NBC says 148 million watched, and Tuscon Comcast subscribers got 30 seconds of porn during the Super Bowl (that's so wrong in so many ways, if you're going to prank me with porn, you'd better provide more than 30 seconds of it). more ›
