Alyssa Bereznak · 10/25/12 09:02PM
Fox is taking the dive (!) into the fast-developing TV genre of what Deadline describes as the "competition celebrity diving reality arena." Oh, you were not aware of this genre? Allow me to explain.
No, 'Some Lady' Did Not 'Flash Her Cans' on Good Morning America This Morning
Robert Kessler · 10/24/12 10:15AMAny weekday morning on ABC's Good Morning America you can find Lara Spencer shouting or George Stephanopoulos wilting with embarrassment, but this morning Twitter was abuzz with the rumor of some breast action too.

Robert Kessler · 10/10/12 12:05PMTaylor Swift Is Surprised That Anyone Would Question Her Surprised Face
Rich Juzwiak · 10/03/12 12:20PMOn Nightline this week, Cynthia McFadden confronted Taylor Swift on her tendency to turn into a slack-jawed yokel when her name is inevitably called at whatever awards show she happens to find herself the belle of. This quirk has been mocked widely (full disclosure: my mocking supercut of her fly-catching turned into a bigger story and ended up being the highlight of my 2010), partially because it seems like put-on false modesty but mostly because whenever it happens, it freakishly appears that her jaw is going to fall right off her head.
TV's Fall Haul: 666 Park Avenue
Rich Juzwiak · 10/01/12 01:35PMFor the next few weeks, we'll be evaluating many of the new fall shows as they air. These shows do not include Elementary, The Neighbors or the hilariously overrated navy soap Last Resort (in which brass stands in for organ, but the melodrama is at perfect daytime pitch) because their blandness reminded us just how tedious it is to spend time thinking about a bunch of new series that are just going to be off the air soon anyway. This one's kind of fun, though.

Neetzan Zimmerman · 06/20/12 04:15PMThis Is The Crap ABC Will Be Shoveling Your Way This Fall
Matt Toder · 05/15/12 11:10PMUpfronts continue! Today ABC unveiled their fall schedule which fit into the general trends of the year: investing in comedies on Tuesday and opening up Fridays for scripted fare. Even though ABC has some big shows, with legit hits Modern Family and Once Upon A Time, the buzzy Revenge, and the still strong Grey's Anatomy, they have a lot of holes to fill and are trotting out seven new shows either in the fall or a little later. Which will be winners? Which will suck worse than Work It? Let's take a gander.

Matt Toder · 03/16/12 02:31PMLast night was the premiere of ABC's new drama Missing, in which Ashley Judd plays an ex-CIA agent searching for her son in Europe, which should sound familiar because it's also the plot of the Liam Neeson movie Taken. Either way, Judd got to do a lot crying and yelling and telling people that her son is in trouble. (Acting coach: "ASHLEY! ASHLEY! Your son is missing. Look concerned. Bite your lip...harder. HARDER. NOW FUCKING FREAKOUT.") Here's the pilot in 30 seconds.

An Unnecessary New Cable News Network Could Be Coming Soon
Hamilton Nolan · 02/07/12 09:59AMAmerica currently has three major 24-hour cable news networks. The repugnant right wing propaganda one that's actually successful, and the one that's trying to be left wing propaganda that's less successful, and the one that used to be the "real news" one and is now pretty much down for whatever in order to avoid being the least successful.
