Here’s another Barbra Streisand movie, but one’s that not televised as often. This 1970 movie is based on Bill Manhoff’s Broadway comedy about a bookstore employee and aspiring novelist who falls for a prostitute and aspiring actress. On stage, the roles in this offbeat interracial romance were played by Alan Alda, pre-M*A*S*H, and Diana Sands. But for this movie, the leads were filled by George Segal and Barbra Streisand, eliminating the racial element entirely. A lot remain

We know Costco charges membership dues and sells goods off pallets on concrete floors under cheap lighting. We know the portions are large. And we assume all of this means the prices are low.

There’s a body found in the woods (which, come to think of it, happens a lot on this show), which leads to some unexpected investigative trails – a karate class, for one, and, for another, a fish. I wonder: Is this a clever new episode of Bones, or are the writers floundering? Sorry. I don’t mean to carp.

Last week, one of the two eliminated singers was RaeLynnn, one of the youngest – and, by comparison, weakest, contestants still standing. From here on in, the going ought to get really tough – so the tough had better get going.

The meaning of dreams, along with House’s patient, is examined in tonight’s episode. That’s promising, because the dream sequences on this series have been among its best moments. But tonight, not all the dreams are comical or titillating: a young boy has dreams of being strangled, and, in real life, his life indeed is threatened. But by what?

At the unexpected conclusion of last week’s season opener, the returning space travelers were revealed not to have returned to a new reality in Eureka, but to have been subjected to a fabricated reality, as in The Matrix. So while they’re strapped to machines and being fed false memories, will anyone come to their aid?  For that matter, does anyone know they’re back? Or captured? Or, come to think of it, did they ever leave at all? Let me think. Eureka!

Uma Thurman continues her guest run as Hollywood actress Rebecca Duvall – but in tonight’s new episode, for one lavish musical sequence inspired by a visit to an Indian restaurant, Hollywood gives way to Bollywood.

No, you’re not seeing things. Well, actually, you are. This is still TV WORTH WATCHING – but we’ve finally delivered on our promise for another relaunch...

This day in 1986 marked the last broadcast of CBS' Fast Times, a short-lived sitcom inspired by the 1982 coming-of-age film, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Ray Walston and Vincent Schiavelli reprised their film roles, but the film's other memorable characters were portrayed by new young actors...

Ah, yes, perhaps the most delightfully deranged show ever aired by Fox or any other network -- the 1996 classic, 'Profit' starring Adrian Pasdar as a corporate climber who gives new meaning to the word sociopath. These promos nicely hint at its dark and droll wit. (Hard to find on out-of-print DVD, but worth the search!)
