Busy day -- for the networks, and for us. The 2010 TV season begins officially today, and we have new stories, new summaries, and even new TV WORTH WATCHING writers on board. Plus we have our first Student Blog of the term, assessing whether NBC's new Lost-like drama really IS an Event. So welcome, and come dive in...

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....

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...

I love to dance. Play a beat and I can't stay in my seat. That's probably why I love watching reality TV that features dancing. This type of programming has actually broadened my appreciation for the art. So it is with great anticipation that I await new seasons of my faves, including "Dancing With the Stars." Well, at least until its producers started pushing the envelope for ratings...

If you want to see Andy Whitfield as Starz' gladiator Spartacus, you'd better buy this week's new Season 1 DVD/Blu-ray of Spartacus: Blood and Sand...

There's only one new show, among all the offerings for the fall 2010 TV season, that has earned its place onto a must-watch list from the start -- and it's not a series from any of the broadcast networks. Instead, it's Boardwalk Empire from HBO, which starts Sunday night at 9 ET with the sort of opening salvo that promises great things ahead...

Longtime HBO corporate communicator Quentin Schaffer couldn't resist aiming a little slingshot at a certain high-flying MTV show during his introduction of a press tour session for Boardwalk Empire. "HBO is proud to take you to the Jersey shore," he told TV critics last month. "The difference being you're going to see some great writing, some great directing and some great storytelling..."

Companies put so much time and money into their efforts to establish household names that it always amazes me when they turn around and destroy one. Not that it happens very often. But it's going to happen this Friday, when the final episode of the venerable CBS soap opera As the World Turns will be telecast...

Next week is the busiest, most premiere-crammed fall TV launch in many, many years. ABC, CBS, NBC and ABC all are rolling out a majority of their top guns, beginning Monday, in hopes of generating both buzz and viewership. But on broadcast TV, the most excitement, by far, comes from the returning shows. That's not to say that there's nothing from the broadcast networks this year that's both brand new and great...

Disgusting, offensive filth! That's what Turner Classic Movies spotlights on Friday night. Movies so vile, they were condemned! In the 1950s, that is...
