Here are the most recent ratings, as always courtesy of ABC. Note that the No. 2-rated show of the week was “Wipeout”! Not my cup of torture, but I am enjoying “I Survived a Japanese Game Show,” which has an…

Some highlights from my week off, in which I did not blog even when tempted:

• ‘Top Chef: The Tour’ finally opened St. Louis reservations (sometime over the weekend?) and immediately sold out. However, the website says walk-ins are accepted for…

Here’s a confession: I can’t watch every single thing on TV. I’d like to, of course, but there are only so many hours in the day, and some of them are taken up with writing stuff and, well, life. So…

There was a clear divide in my office Monday. People who kept coming over to tell me how excited they were about the return of “The Mole.” And people who wondered when we’d shut up about it.

Apparently, there are…

So many answers. So many questions. After letting the exhilarating, exhausting season finale of “Lost” percolate a while, I’ve figured out one thing — I need to watch it again. (Preferably with pop-ups. Please, ABC?)

SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW, so if you…

Just got off the phone with my friend Scott Stone, who worked four years to bring “The Mole” back to television — and succeeds (yay!), as of Monday, June 2. (And there’s a St. Louisan among the players; more about…
