American Idol sudden death men's round, part II recap
Snooze. If you missed tonight's episode (and increasingly, more and more folks are skipping it), you missed very little. The phrase "sudden death" unfortunately has taken on new meaning when it comes to "Idol" audiences as they continue to shrink. (a mere 13.1 million last night and a 3.8 18-49, ...
Kim Zolciak spinoff back April 16, followed by Kandi Burruss' 'The Kandi Factory'

"American Idol" semifinal girls, five more go home recap
Sorry. I've been helping my wife with an event of hers and won't be able to get to my own recap until later this morning. The ladies are killing it vs. the guys. This week may have arguably been even better than last week. And this meant some women were ...

The Atlanta-based FX animated spy series "Archer" keeps on getting more popular with each passing season, so the fact FX just gave the show a fifth season came as no surprise. If you really enjoy numbers, here's a whopper of a paragraph from the FX press release: In 2013, Archer ...
TV bits: 'Honey Boo Boo' huge in Poland, 'Walking Dead' production back May 6
U.S. television is popular all over the world but not just the classy fare. We export even classier options such as TLC's Georgia-based "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." TLC recently told the New York Post that the show is a huge hit in Poland. And the Brits already redneckonize her. ...
A talk with Sarah Wayne Callies, formerly of 'The Walking Dead' on her International Rescue Committee work, surprise appearance on the show
Sarah Wayne Callies, as Rick's wife Lori, said farewell to "The Walking Dead" back in November in a dramatic death after giving birth. But Lori did come back in a sense in episodes 9 and 10. In that 10th episode, aired Feb. 17, Rick saw Lori in ghost form outside ...

'Dancing With the Stars' cast includes Andy Dick, Wynonna Judd, D.L. Hughley
After last fall's soporific "Dancing With the Stars All Star" edition that contributed to sinking ratings, ABC hopes to give the show a boost with the usual mix of athletes, singers, reality show contestants and actors with Andy Dick as the most controversial choice. Dick, 47, has been arrested numerous ...

TV bits: Oscar ratings up, "King of the Nerds" renewed, NBC collapse
Atlanta-based TBS has renewed its reality show "King of the Nerds" for a second season after averaging 2.1 million viewers for the first three episodes, including a week's worth of DVR usage.

'The Walking Dead' ('I Ain't a Judas') recap: season 4
No way Andrea could kill the Governor. Could she? When Carol suggested she sleep with him, then kill him, Andrea acted like this was something she could possibly do. But given the pained look on her face, you knew she couldn't go through with it. (Then again, Andrea carries that ...

'American Idol' season 12 semifinalist first ten males recap
So tonight was the battle of vocals vs. "stage performance." It would be best to have both but we often didn't. Overall, it was a disappointing night where I had a hard time connecting with most of the contestants and didn't like many of the song choices either. Randy Jackson ...
Meet two of the guys from TruTV's "Impractical Jokers"
My computer broke down and my car engine light went on so I lost valuable time today. And I'm moving tomorrow. So I meant to post my interviews with two members of TruTV's "Impractical Jokers," which concludes its season tonight. But I'm short on time before the show. So I'm ...
