In what amounts to the first nearly unanimous vote of the 2010 fall season, nine critics here at TV WORTH WATCHING have delivered the same verdict regarding Outlaw, Jimmy Smits' new legal drama on NBC. Pending appeal, the verdict is: Don't bother. But there is ONE dissenting opinion...

Outlaw's premise remains preposterous, but now at least merits an asterisk. That's because its second episode is so markedly better than Wednesday night's premiere preview (10 p.m. ET), which follows the high wattage season finale of NBC's America's Got Talent...

If ever there was a good year to stop being a full-time TV critic, this is it...I've watched just about all the pilots for the new fall shows and loved exactly one -- Fox' show about a Texas con artist, Lone Star. When I told this to a former big city critic who also has become a blogger, he responded that he didn't even like Lone Star all that much...

"The Fountainhead", the 1949 film adaptation of Ayn Rand's 1943 novel about modern architecture on trial, is televised tonight at 9 ET by TCM. At one time, it was every architecture student's introduction to the profession -- and moral compass, and crack-cocaine equivalent...

Next week will mark the busiest fall TV season opening week in years, with ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox all rolling out an aggressive schedule of season premieres and new shows. But this week, as the countdown to the 2010-11 TV season gets nearer to launch, there's STILL a lot going on...

Does it seem like commercial breaks are getting longer? Like the show itself may never "be right back after this message"? You're not imagining things...

No, not fresh finales. Last May's finales. But that's okay. Watching them again will refresh your memory for the new seasons starting next week. Prime among them: House and Glee...

On the eve of its third-season finale, I come not to bury HBO's True Blood, but to praise it. Good thing, because burying the vamps and vengeful spirits in this wild supernatural series wouldn't have much effect anyway...

Wow. Watch the beginnings of Trekkie-dom. I'm posting this video in honor of the show's 44th anniversary. Yep, Star Trek premiered on NBC Sept. 8, 1966...
