What the zuck? Hard to believe, but Jeff Zucker is finally heading out at NBC. Out after the Leno-Conan-Leno Tonight Show debacle. The Leno prime time debacle. The NBC-ratings-in-the-toilet debacle(s). And none of that did it...

READ THIS: WHY 'HOUSE' IS A HIT By Diane Werts
 
 
House has many things going for it, of course, but Numero Uno is star Hugh Laurie. It's not just that the British import is a fine actor, a diligent American-speaker, and all that. He's one very funny fellow....

NEW COLUMNIST: TVWW FACES REALITY (SHOWS) By Diane Werts
 
 
I don't watch a lot of "reality" TV. You can tell by the quotes around the word that it's hard for me to take most of it seriously. But the best of any genre is worth watching, and now, TVWW has a columnist who specializes in sorting those out. Ronnie Gill's new Altered Reality column debuts today -- and her keen analysis is worth your attention...

FLICK PICKS: DIRTY MOVIES! By Diane Werts

TUBE NEWS: MORE ADS, LESS SHOW By Diane Werts
 
 
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...

THIS WEEK: SEASON FINALES! By Diane Werts

FLICK PICKS: 'THE MARCH OF TIME' By Diane Werts
 
 
In our instantaneous age, it's hard to imagine people getting their latest look at world news in movie theaters many days or even weeks later. But that was the norm during Hollywood's studio heyday, from the 1920s into the '50s. Turner Classic Movies offers a great taste of old-time newsreels this weekend, saluting The March of Time for four hours (Sunday 8 p.m.-midnight ET).
