Americans now have a chance to see the Olympics the way they should be seen. --- "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation" have hour-long season finales tonight, check 'em out. --- Have a gander at our TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan for the night and the listings to choose your poison. more ›

There's some great TV on this weekend - be sure to check out our TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan. We've got a promo clip for this Sunday's "Game of Thrones" and we have a little write-up of independent-minded (perhaps a little right-wing) comic Nick Di Paolo's Showtime special on Saturday. We've also got some news items in addition to the listings. Have a great weekend. more ›

We know Steve Carell has been wanting to make the transition to full-time movie star for a while now and tonight the departure from TV becomes official as Michael Scott leaves "The Office" in an extended episode starting at 9pm. Thank you Steve for bringing Michael Scott to life. more ›

We're not sure there could have been a more stupid move at this time of media upheaval than Comcast's move to eliminate the NBC "peacock" from the new NBCUniversal logo. Yes, the multicolor peacock was a throwback to the time when TV moved from black and white to color but the many feathers symbolized the varied programming of the network. more ›

Please check out our video interviews from NBC's Golden Globes after party where we spoke with cast members of "The Walking Dead," "The Office," "Covert Affairs," a co-writer of The Kids Are All Right and a pair of "Chelsea Lately" comics. --- We also have our TV Junkie Must-Watch Plan for the night as well as the listings. more ›

NBC will have Christmas episodes of "Community," "30 Rock," and "The Office" (hour-long episode). "Community" will be the standout with a Rankin-Bass flavored stop-motion animated jaunt into absurdity. We're also looking forward to "The League" season finale. --- See quotes that we collected from yesterday's Hollywood Radio and Television Society's Newsmaker Luncheon, with writers from major shows like "Sons of Anarchy," "Hawaii Five-0," "NCIS" and more. --- "A Charlie Brown Christmas" turns 45 today! See our Must-Watch Plan, listings, & more in the full post. more ›

Our good friends at the Parents Television Council, aka idiots, are now going after online video streams by issuing a report that children aren't being safeguarded enough at these websites: Hulu, Comcast's Fancast, AOL's Slashcontrol and AT&T's U-verse. Some of the websites have responded by stating that they aren't targeted at children and teens, have no content meant for children or teens, or they already provide software controls to provide parents with a means to limit their children's access to specific parts of the streams. Shades of Tipper Gore. more ›

There's a lot of hype about tonight's hour long episode of "The Office" which will feature the birth of characters Jim and Pam's baby. Melora Hardin, who plays Jan Levinson, Michael Scott's ex-girlfriend... more ›

As mentioned previously, earlier this month, local adult publication XBIZ held their eighth annual XBIZ Awards at Avalon in Hollywood. While the AVN Awards may be considered the Oscars of the adult industry, the XBIZ Awards should not be considered the equivalent of the Daytime Emmys as TMZ joked, but rather the Golden Globes, and as a result are still highly-coveted. more ›

Following up on photos posted earlier today, here's our interview with Leslie David Baker on the red carpet at the SAG Awards. more ›

A photographer can get jaded pretty fast on the red carpet. Hour after hour, a steady stream of beautiful people smile and pose while you elbow big hairy guys under the hot sun. Soon, any time you travel and meet people who ask, "You live in Los Angeles? Do you see a lot of movie stars?" you kind of want to punch them in the face. But just kind of. more ›

Featured Series Premiere for Tonight: FlashForward (8pm on ABC): ABC knows "Lost" will be going away so it's trying to line up a similarly addictive (and weird) replacement and they've settled on "FlashForward" for the moment - hell, it even has Dominic Monaghan from "Lost". For 2 minutes and 17 seconds, everyone in the world passes out/goes into a trance and experiences their life 6 months in the future. Why did this happen? Is that really the future? Etc. more ›

The TV Junkie survived the 100+ F temps of the downtown concrete furnace to bring you these video interviews with actors, producers, writers, comedians and reality show performers. We've divided up our footage into comedy, drama, and reality television segments. more ›

One of the things we really liked about "Fringe" was the fact that the commercials were limited - a segment would end with an announcement of "Fringe will be back in 60 seconds" and sure enough, the show would be back on, we even timed it. FOX did this by charging advertisers more for each break and then limiting the breaks. The experiment is over and "Fringe" will now be as riddled with commercials as any other show. more ›

Late night TV is hopping tonight, everybody has at least one great guest, be sure to check the full listings after the jump. more ›

There's a ton of season finale's this evening but the most compelling TV is KCET's "SoCal Connected" and then just about everything on NBC from "Parks and Rec." through to 11pm - much like yesterday, late night has a lot of good options, although "Daily Show" and "Colber(t)" have been a little lackluster this week, so check out the full listings. Unless you tell us differently - please give us your suggestions. more ›

Nielsen says that President Obama's latest press conference slipped in the ratings and that the CW series, "Reaper", gained (the implication is that Obama is suffering from overexposure). I'm not sure how many teens would be that in economics, much less everyday Americans. I guess former President Bush avoided these kind of comparisons by not doing press conferences and by spending more time on vacation than any other president. more ›

The big news for TV and for LA is that President Barack Obama will be a guest tonight on "The Tonight Show" - we know what we'll be watching at 11:35pm (sorry Colbert). more ›

CNBC's host of "Mad Money", Jim Cramer, will appear on "The Daily Show" tonight to finally have it out face-to-face with Jon Stewart, who castigated the network for a skewed perspective that was harsh on President Obama's stimulus plan but soft on CEOs. Stewart has also pointed out specific stock recommendations made by Cramer last year that were wildly misinformed at best, if not downright criminally negligent. more ›

If you thought that the local news was boring claptrap that only idiots watch, then you are outside of the ever-increasing popularity of the local newscast - Nielsen is reporting a 20% year-over-year increase in viewership. For TV, a fractional percentage change is big news but 20% is incredible. more ›

Jerry Seinfeld will be returning to TV as the producer and creator of "The Marriage Ref", a new series for NBC. No premiere date or time slot has been selected. more ›
