MISTER ROGERS: IT'S YOU I LIKE By David Bianculli

SPECIAL: Okay, so this is another celebration of Fred Rogers and the wonderful children’s programming he created, and in which he starred. But what’s wrong with that? This month marks the golden anniversary of the premiere of Miser Rogers’ Neighborhood on public TV. This week, in particular, also happens to be a pledge break for most public TV member stations – so what better way to both remember Fred Rogers and garner support for PBS than to present a pledge-month specia

THE VOICE By David Bianculli

It’s the fourth night of the Blinds – still the best part of this show, although it’s found clever ways to improve all the other segments, making The Voice the reality competition show to beat right now.

And even though Clarkson is a rookie as a U.S. Voice

MINISERIES PREMIERE: This new Smithsonian documentary series looks at one of the most famous leaders in history: Egyptian ruler Cleopatra, who was born into the royal family in 68 B.C. The pharaoh appointed her the next ruler of Egypt, then died shortly thereafter, leaving Cleo as a literal teenage queen.

GOOD GIRLS By David Bianculli

This is the second episode of this new NBC series, which I wish were better, because Christina Hendricks (Mad Men, Another Period), Mae Whitman (pictured, from Parenthood) and Retta (Parks and Recreation) are all very good, entertaining actresses. But the plot of this show careers wildly between its comic aspects (at the supermarket) and its allegedly serious ones (as in tonight, when the ladies, having committed one criminal act already, are forced to become mules and carry something illegal ac
