Sunday night at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, the Smothers Brothers performed what they say was their final performance as a duo -- 50 impressive years after their FIRST performance as a duo. I flew in just to see it and be there, and was glad I did...

So now it's staid old CBS that's upending the primetime grid? Go figure. Long-established shows are moving all over the place this fall to make room for fresh arrivals. Biggest news out of Wednesday's Manhattan upfront presentation to advertisers...

The TV motherlode was waiting last week when I returned home after two weeks away -- a piled-up mountain of press kits that practically blocked the door. Amid the DVDs  -- a half-dozen pilot episodes and season-return screeners from one of TV's most savvy and reliable hit-producing outlets...

Let ABC know what you think of its new fall shows. After presenting the 2010-11 slate to advertisers in Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon, the network's website posted "sneak peek" clips from most of the pilot episodes, and opened them up to viewer comments...

It's upfront week, and NBC kicked things off Monday morning with its presentation to advertisers. We'll be weighing in before long -- but in the meantime, have your own look at the unusually large number of new series being added to plug the leaks sprung by last season's disastrous Jay-at-10 gamble.

Tuesday night at 9 ET, Fox's Glee presents guest director Joss Whedon and guest star Neil Patrick Harris in a new episode that counts as one more reason this musical series is one of the best TV treats of the year...

Last year, when I was completing my first year as a full-time faculty member at New Jersey's Rowan University, I also was crashing on the final month of writing my Smothers Brothers book, so I passed on attending, and participating in, what would have been my first graduation ceremony as an associate professor...Friday, with the book done and published and the school year over again, I happily attended -- and was so glad I did...

Is it just me, or has mainstream, prime-time TV undergone a little douche coup? Seems like everywhere I turn lately, there's some character insulting some other character by tossing out the d-word. As in, "What a douche." As in, "You're such a douche"...
