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…

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…

The episode of “Kathy Griffin: My Life in the D-List” shot partly in St. Louis when she played the Fox in February is set for 9 p.m. Thursday on Bravo. It was nice of the network’s publicists to let us…

That’s the restaurant where the “Hell’s…

Fox is keeping a tight lid on details about tonight’s grand finale, except to say that the winning David will be announced. That leaves, oh, 1 hour and 59 minutes to kill. It seems pretty official that Carrie Underwood will sing. Jonas…
