These are the further voyages of the once free enterprise known as television... the Star Trek franchise will be shown exclusively on its fledgling All Access streaming device after a one-episode launch on the musty old broadcast network....

Frontline's eye-opening film lays bare some hard truths about a series of unsolved murders of Vietnamese-American journalists across the U.S. between 1981 and 1990...

SERIES FINALE: This experimental live variety series starring Neil Patrick Harris was true to the flavor of its original British inspiration – too true, I suspect, because it ended up being more parts game shows and stunts than true, talented variety segments. So we’ll have to wait for another day, and another year, for the live variety series to make a true comeback. I still assert, though, that Harris is the guy to host it. And here’s hoping, on this final Best Time Ever, he

Tonight’s human guest star is someone who should get along famously in the Muppet world: Kristin Chenoweth. Well, except for an unavoidable rivalry with Miss Piggy, of course…

This new Fox series has more than lived up to its early promise, and keeps building upon the meta premise of this show, which stars attractive TV star Rob Lowe as an attractive former TV star, and Fred Savage as his competitive and put-upon lawyer sibling. And tonight’s episode guest stars Christina Applegate, playing an old friend who, like Lowe’s character, has aged exceptionally well.

This week’s Frontline re-examines a cold case of multiple murders whose victims were Vietnamese-American journalists – and were killed decades ago in various cities across America, in seemingly unrelated incidents. But there seem to be connections between the murders – connections that lead to a ruthless, vindictive and widespread conspiracy. For a full story, and an interview with the show’s producer, see Alex Strachan's Tv That Matters. Check local listings.

MINISERIES PREMIERE: You may have TV5Monde USA on your cable or satellite system, and not even know it, because you’ve never looked for it. Well, look for it, because tonight, the French entertainment channel presents a subtitled version of the most popular French miniseries in recent years: the highly regarded Paris, starring Eric Caravaca and Swiss model Julie Orton. It’s a story that unfolds over a single day, following several Parisians as their lives, loves and dramas intermingl

Fred Thompson’s television arc wasn’t the most exhaustive, but it couldn’t have covered much more turf....

In this week’s episode, one of the musical interludes is presented in the style of the black-and-white musicals of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers – only when Rebecca (Rachel Bloom) and Greg (Santino Fontana) sing and dance about love, the dance steps may be easier, but the emotional subtext is a lot more complicated.

Now that the pilot of this series has been televised, tonight’s second episode will reveal whether CBS’s new Supergirl series really can fly. It probably can, based on its initial reception from critics and audiences, which, when you include Fox’s Gotham, makes it quite a Monday lineup for fans of DC Comics. (And that’s not to mention CW’s The Flash on Tuesdays or Arrow on Wednesdays – though I just did.) On Mondays, Gotham and Supergirl are shown in the same
