You may have heard that Work It is one of the worst sitcoms of all time. You heard correctly. In fact, if the Metacritic rating for this new show isn't the lowest score ever for a television comedy, I'll be a little disappointed in my fellow TV scribes.

Though you can still count me as a "Downton Abbey" fan, the period drama is a more labored, problematic affair this year. As it struggles to get dozens of different stories in motion, "Downton" lacks a certain elegance. But the good news is, despite the obvious growing pains, the show gets things right more often than it gets them wrong, especially as the season progresses.

Portlandia demonstrates greater overall confidence this season (and it's good at picking guest stars who get the show's low-key, slightly surreal vibe).

"House of Lies" does nothing but confirm our worst fears about the darkest aspects of business culture; its overall grimness overpowers its ham-fisted attempts at complexity.

"Fringe" fans, things aren't looking good. Fox entertainment president Kevin Reilly told members of the media at the Television Critics Associatio...

To an almost uncanny degree, both programs were founded on the same set of mistaken assumptions about how to translate books to TV and whether it's worth it to attach famous names to TV projects.

He is the one who knocks -- on the door of the International Space Station. The Huffington Post can exclusively reveal that "Breaking Bad" star Br...

"The Finder" may be composed of easily recognized elements from other shows, such as "House" and "Burn Notice," but that didn't stop me from appreciating its escapist charms.

"Misfits," "The Fades," "Being Human" and "Lost Girl" allow viewers to escape into a different reality and imagine what it would be like to have special powers or a heroic destiny. I liked one of these shows a lot, and I fell a little in love with another.

If Ricky Gervais doesn't get invited back by the Golden Globes in 2013, it might be because he was so boring at Sunday night's ceremony.

'Alcatraz' feels like a show that needs to be released from a prison of its own making. We'll have to see if it somehow escapes network lockdown.

Fans of the Cul De Sac crew got the terrific news on Tuesday that "Cougar Town" is finally returning after almost a year off the air. That's reason en...

"Justified" makes the case that even people who make bad choices are worth spending time with -- if they have a code, if they have some kind of loyalty to the place they're from, if they have decent manners, damn it.

What happens when suave spy Sterling Archer meets his hero, Burt Reynolds? Sadly, his hero isn't terribly impressed, if this exclusive sneak peek ...

Downton and Spartacus may be set a couple thousand years apart, but both shows depict constant struggles for control and strenuous attempts to enforce laws and longstanding customs.

The series finale of NBC's "Chuck" airs Friday and many fans are still in a state of deep denial. Sure, we've all known for almost a year that Chu...

Given Tim Kring's track record with "Heroes," I'm dubious of "Touch's" ability to tell disciplined, believable stories, despite Kiefer Sutherland's excellent performance.

Actress Siobhan Finneran says she isn't often recognized as Sarah O'Brien, her scheming "Downton Abbey" character. As the actress noted during an ...

The path to the second season of "Spartacus" was not an easy one. The show itself was like a scarred, determined gladiator, in that "Spartacus: Vengea...

In honor on the series finale of "Chuck" (Fri., Jan. 27 at 8 p.m. EST), we asked fans to submit questions for co-creator and executive producer Chris ...

A crucial horse race in the fourth episode proved that Milch owned me; his characters and their desires had seeped into my mind and soul without me realizing it, and I found myself near tears before the race was over.

That was the lovely subtext of the finale: The people we love have an effect on our lives, an effect that nothing can ever take away, not even super-complex spy devices.

"Key & Peele" contained more hits than misses. If upcoming episodes are as solidly written and performed as well as these two ... this could well be one of the best new cable comedies to come down the pike in some time.
