Hoping to cash in on Sunday's Super Bowl audience and momentum, NBC is employing one trick after another. One trick is presenting a special one-hour edition of "The Office" after the Super Bowl post-game show, and the other is promoting and presenting a special 3-D episode of "Chuck" on Monday...

Wednesday's prime-time edition of "The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric" was the first volley in a three-part prime-time salvo aimed at heightening her profile in the next 10 days. Next Wednesday, she hosts a special prime-time interview special keyed to the Grammys. Then, a week from Sunday on "60 Minutes"...

TNT's newest series, "Trust Me," premieres tonight at 10 ET. It's set in the world of advertising, and thus, in theory, aspires to be a modern "Mad Men" or an updated "thirtysomething." In practice, though, it's more like another "Knight Rider"...

Today I have a question to ask, as well as one to answer. The one to ask concerns Fox's House -- and the one I've been dared to answer involves something that happened to me on press tour some, sigh, 30 years ago. And I've decided, in this instance, it's high time to come clean...
