This is what I’m thinking: It looks like some of my Twitter followers were surprised that NBC canceled the Thursday night series “Do No Harm” after only two episodes aired. NBC is putting reruns of “Law & Order: SVU” in its place this week. As I wrote Saturday, one of the reasons ...

  If you were watching the Buffalo Sabres record their second straight win Saturday night on MSG, then you probably missed half of Channel 2’s special on Buffalo Bills Owner Ralph Wilson. If so, you get a second chance at 11:30 tonight to catch “Wilson: The Life, Impact and Living Legacy of ...

Channel 2’s brief sneak preview Thursday of tonight’s special on Buffalo Bills Owner Ralph Wilson looked pretty impressive. The hour-long special, “Wilson: The Life, Impact and Living Legacy of Ralph C. Wilson Jr.,” airs at 9 tonight on the NBC affiliate and is repeated at 11:30 p.m. Sunday. It ...

  I know many viewers think extended weather reports from Channel 4’s Pope Don Paul, Channel 2’s Kevin O’Connell, Channel 7’s Aaron Mentkowski and their backups are often overblown. After all, it shouldn’t take more than 30 seconds to tell us what the weather is going to be like and we ...

  If you are a regular reader of this blog, you undoubtedly are aware that I am big fan of Broadway musicals. I defended the recent movie version of “Les Miserables” from some critical bashing. I was an early fan of the Fox musical series “Glee” (though I’ve stopped watching). And just ...

If Western New York is any indication, the 34-minute blackout during the Baltimore Ravens’ 34-31 victory over San Francisco in Sunday night’s Super Bowl had little impact on the game’s ratings. The game averaged a 50.3 rating on WIVB-TV, the local CBS affiliate. That is down from the 52.0 rating ...

  In the words of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, Super Bowl 47 was, well, let’s just say “awesome” without his X-rated adjective. I imagine there was a lot of cursing going on during the Ravens’ 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers because of the 34-minute delay, the late ...

The CBS Super Bowl conference call on Tuesday with play-by-play man Jim Nantz, analyst Phil Simms and the producer and director of the San Francisco-Baltimore game Sunday addressed the usual questions. Will there be anything different than usual in CBS presentation in New Orleans? (Yes, the graphics ...
