No, The Good Wife will not win the Emmy for its farewell season. Downton Abbey might, though. And with 23 nominations overall, last year’s drama series-winner Game of Thrones is not about to go away anytime soon...

What we learn from ESPN’s new film "Doc and Darryl" is that Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry also don’t quite know what to say about what happened...

NBC Universal has reclaimed coverage of a golf major by televising this year’s British Open, which means two things. One: coverage today and tomorrow, of the first two rounds from the Royal Troon golf club in Scotland, begins super-early, at 1:30 a.m. ET on Golf Channel, and runs all day until 4 p.m. ET. Two: coverage will include plenty of promos for NBC’s upcoming Olympics coverage, with lots of mention of golf as an Olympic event – but with very little mention of how few pro

For some reason, BBC America has moved tonight’s latest episode of this tense and brooding series from 10 p.m. ET to 6 p.m., where a lot of people who have followed the series to this point are unlikely to find it without help. So, here’s the help.

TCM’s movies of the 1970s celebration continues tonight, starting at 8 p.m. with Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, the unlikely inspiration for the CBS sitcom Alice. But stay tuned on TCM for other treats of the decade, including, at 10 p.m. ET, Katharine Ross starring in 1975’s The Stepford Wives, a then-timely sci-fi parable exploring male fears about women’s liberation. And, in a way, about Disney World, though that’s more of a subtext.

Later at night come two more perfectly representative, and original, movies of the 1970s. The Paper Chase is a 1973 drama about a young law student, played by Timothy Bottoms, who comes up against a super-stern law professor, Professor Kingsfield, played by John Houseman. It’s the movie I made my daughter watch just before she went off to law school – and she swears it scared her, and prepared her, more than anything else she heard or saw before diving in.

Another Seventies classic: Released in 1979, this is a tiny, beautiful coming-of-age movie about a high-school senior in Indianapolis who loves bicycle riding, and Italy, and a college coed, maybe in that order. Dennis Christopher stars, in a thoroughly charming comedy-drama.

The prison storyline in USA’s Suits will not be confused with the prison storylines in Orange Is the New Black – and not just because the inmates in Suits seem to wear blue...

More Westerns are on tap, all day and night tonight, as TCM continues its celebration of Western month on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Tonight, in prime time, the better ones arrives, starting at 8 ET with 1967’s Hour of the Gun, one of many Westerns telling the story of Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. Jason Robards and James Garner star in those respective roles, and John Sturges directs.
