So what’s going to win the night – the “Dancing With The Stars” finale or the super-hyped episode of “House” where he and his team are hijacked and “someone dies”? I think most will stick with “House” for an hour and then skip over to ABC to see the final result. Or skip the dancing entirely for the series finale of “The Shield”, which I would personally do.

It’s hard to debate that Britney Spears has been pretty unforgettable this year. How many of us woke up on a couple of mornings in January to find out that she’d been the subject of another media circus, with paparazzi and mainstream press nudging each other aside as she was committed to some sort of involuntary treatment? She was the first story on CNN’s live morning coverage, for crying out loud.
Now Britney’s back and from all appearances will cement her “comeback” on Dec. 2, when her new album comes out on her 27th birthday. Shortly before …read more
In a country where each day seems to bring more “reality” with job losses and stocks plummeting, could TV watchers be looking for a little less reality television? This season’s ratings point toward “yes”.
According to the Los Angeles Times, several network mainstays are performing so badly that their futures are now in doubt. Fox’s “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?,” has lost nearly half its share of the 18-to-49-year-old demographic since last year, and viewership for NBC’s “Deal Or No Deal” has falled nearly 29 percent for its Wednesday show. Even ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars” has lost 9 percent …read more
It’s sweeps, so it’s time for the networks to pull out the ridiculous star power they have been holding for months to help otherwise sluggish shows. NBC’s having a lot of issues drawing eyeballs, so execs have brought back their stars from yesteryear (well, it seems that long) with guest appearances by Jennifer Aniston and Anthony Edwards. But if gimmick casting isn’t your thing, there are a ton of drama-filled reality shows to pick from, as well as some neat plot twists on “The Office” and “Ugly Betty”.
Hot Picks for November 13, 2008

It should be a great night for drama and suspense, with two new episodes of The CW’s Thursday night sci-fi block, high drama in the kitchen with Gordon Ramsey, and the usual sturm und drang on “ER” and “Grey’s Anatomy”.
8 p.m.
My Name Is Earl (NBC): When a mysterious man moves next door, an item jumps to the top of Earl’s list. Also, Joy becomes obsessed with winning a science fair so she’ll have some spending money. That should be as much fun as her trying to win the beauty pageant in a previous show.
Kitchen Nightmares (Fox): Chef Ramsay is called …read more

The night will begin on NBC, CBS, Fox, and BET with presidential candidate Barack Obama’s 30-minute commercial. If that’s not your cup of tea, ABC’s got this lovely show called “Pushing Daisies” that it really wishes you’d watch, and there’s always “America’s Next Top Model”…
ABC: Pushing Daisies — A man asking about Dale’s father shows up at the Pie Hole. Also, Emerson reunites with Simone. I hope this show is more interesting than my preview.
Private Practice — Sam and Simone compete over who should run the practice, while Addison treats an Afghan girl who wants to hide her past (my …read more

It’s a night of repeats for CBS — a smart move because it’s hard to compete against Fox and NBC tonight.
Fox: The World Series: Game 5 — Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays — The Phillies are leading 3-1, so this is the last chance for the Rays to pull something out. Don’t count on it.
ABC: Dancing With the Stars — The rumor is that the folks behind the scenes (in particular, Susan Lucci) really, really, really want Cloris Leachman gone. It’s kinda like what happened with Mel B. last year — no one expected her to be around for …read more

ABC: Wife Swap –A Cajun swamp wife switches places with a ballet dancer in California. Cue to culture shock.
Supernanny — Jo tries to make piece in a family where a father and his 16-year-old daughter fight over issues of trust. In the meantime, the kids come and go from the house as they like. Sounds like a bit of a double-standard here.
CBS: Ghost Whisperer — As Melinda tries to enjoy a romantic cruise with Jim, she encounters an angry ghost who’s haunting an elderly couple. Man, you can’t take her anywhere…
The Ex List –Bella reconnects with a surfing boy ex, …read more

Fox: Game 1 of the World Series – If you’re a baseball fan, that’s all you need to read. Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays.
ABC: Pushing Daisies — David Arquette guest-stars as the suspect in the death of his roommate, who was an escort for a friend-for-hire agency. Also, Emerson’s PI mother pays him a visit.
Private Practice — Addison is, once again, at odds with a choice between love and her career. Also, Ernie Hudson guest-stars as a firefighter with a rare form of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Dirty Sexy Money — As Nick prepared to defend Leticia in her murder trial, …read more

For everyone who thinks that Whitney Port is the only remaining sane person on “The Hills”, MTV has posted a sneak peek of her spinoff show “The City”, which is set in New York City.
For everyone who has never read the dearly departed Socialite Rank blog, the “Olivia” shown in the clip is controversial socialite Olivia Palmero, who is apparently going to figure large as Whitney starts her new job at Diane von Fustenberg. The snarking is already going full-steam, with fellow celeb-socialite Samantha Ronson dubbing Palmero “a new Heidi [Montag] on the rise.”
Beyond that, it looks like Whitney is …read more
