One of the things I enjoy most about the experience of watching episodic television on its own terms is the feeling of breathless anticipation generated by the run up to a sizzling season finale. This can happen with a reality series...

I adore "60 Minutes." I love that the oldest surviving TV show in prime time is still among the very best. I'm thrilled that it caters to intelligence rather than panders to stupidity. Living up to its name, it's 60 minutes of outstanding television. Well, 55 minutes, anyway...

Don't forget that CBSSports.com has free streams of March Madness on Demand, offering live game action online until the NCAA men's basketball championship is decided April 6...

Have fun (and fears) in the '50s all day this Tuesday as Turner Classic Movies salutes a pivotal decade. TCM's time trip collects everything from a surreal lesbian western smackdown (Johnny Guitar) to a gritty drama of media manipulation (Sweet Smell of Success)...

I love the way NBC's "ER" is winding down. Rather than wait for next week's two-hour finale to serve its veteran and current characters, the series has been doing it every week, with moments that are touching, revealing, surprising and eminently satisfying. Shane West, as Dr. Ray Barnett, made a surprise appearance to cap last week's show with a perfect grace note...

[No kidding: This place, all of a sudden, is starting to turn into a Dream Team of TV critics. First Diane Werts, then Bill Brioux, then our newest veteran recruits, PJ Bednarski and Ed Martin. More are on the way, and here comes one now: former TV critic Tom Brinkmoeller, of The Cincinnati Enquirer and elsewhere.]

This week's movie treats range from raunchy pre-code Hollywood all the way to late-century Steve Martin...

Ronald Reagan and First Lady-to-be Nancy Davis made only one film together. This is it...

I'm glad Battlestar Galactica ends this Friday night -- only because I can now start watching it over again from the beginning, on DVD, in uninterrupted marathon sessions. That's the ideal way to absorb this landmark series' escalating stakes and ever-keener insights...
