The votes are in for the first TV Worth Watching Readers' Poll, and they're very impressive. Good for you guys. AMC's "Mad Men" took top honors by an impressive margin...

Yes, Christmas kiddies -- we've hit the jackpot. Our friends at TV4U.com have posted full-length streaming video of 1965's original TV musical The Dangerous Christmas of Red Riding Hood -- starring 19-year-old Liza Minnelli...

Celebrate Wednesday night's arrival of 2009 the new/old-fashioned way with the broadcast networks' countdowns. Or check out cable's alternatives, most of which have nothing to do with New Year's Eve. And then there's the let-it-all-hang-out festivity of Univision's time-zone-hopping Feliz 2009! Can't go wrong with Don Francisco...

Before giving my list of the Top 10 TV shows of 2008, I'm asking for yours. The readers of this website are so discerning and tasteful (you're here, aren't you?), I thought it would be fun, maybe even enlightening, to ask for YOUR Top 10 lists...

Sometimes I provide TV reviews for "NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross." Sometimes I guest host. And very rarely, I get to do something that's an awful lot of fun: Have an on-air conversation with Terry herself. On today's Fresh Air, Terry and I talk about the year in TV. There's a lot to talk about, and it takes up most of the hour...

Last year, the writers' strike put a Scrooge-like end to David Letterman's annual late-night Christmas show. Tuesday night at 11:35 ET, on a fresh edition of "Late Show with David Letterman," it's back. Darlene Love will sing, Jay Thomas will tell his Lone Ranger story, and Jay and Dave will toss footballs at the giant meatball atop the tree. And I'll be watching, and grinning...

This is the last weekend before Christmas -- so it's the last chance, here at TV WORTH WATCHING, for us to trumpet our easy shopping lists of great DVDs, holiday-related and otherwise. Find the dogs with the Santa hats on the home page, click, and shop. There's still time to have them rush delivered in time for the holiday. (The gifts, not the dogs). And here's my foolproof, last-second, under-$10 recommendation for the perfect DVD gift...

Tonight at 8 ET, after a run of summer specials, CBS launches "Million Dollar Password" as a weekly series. Because of the way the show is revamped, and what it means for TV in the future, the password is... "Unfortunate"...

So you've searched our hundreds of holiday TV listings, and you haven't found the Christmas episode/special you're looking for. Maybe you missed it when it aired. Or you'd rather watch it on your iPod. Try online TV. You can watch streaming shows on your computer, or download 'em to show-and-tell -- anything from South Park to It's a Wonderful Life, plus obscure old holidays from Amos 'n' Andy, Liberace and Ozzie & Harriet. Even Chrismukkah on The O.C...

...Not on TV, unfortunately. Like It's a Wonderful Life -- another classic that used to run constantly -- Sim's 1951 British-produced A Christmas Carol has become a rare find on the tube....
