Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2012 airs on CBS

December 4, 2012 Jeff Pfeiffer

Tonight, Dec. 4, CBS not only airs Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer for the kids, but also offers the decidedly more risque Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2012 at 10pm ET/PT. Last year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show garnered its best ratings ever in adults 18-49 and women 18-34, and averaged 11.5 million viewers. Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2012 looks like it should at least duplicate those numbers. Not only does it have a popular show like Rudolph as a lead-in, but it has the traditional can’t-miss elements of of beautiful women in sexy, over-the-top lingerie, combined with three top singers performing. The […]

Mayan 2012 Apocalypse TV programming

November 30, 2012 Jeff Pfeiffer

Updated Dec. 6, 2012, 1:25pm CT Dec. 21, 2012. There hasn’t been so much interest in — and, in some cases, fear over — a date since 1999 and the impending approach of Y2K. Whether or not you believe in the supposed Mayan 2012 prediction that some cataclysmic or transformative event will befall humanity on Dec. 21, 2012, the date is nearly upon us, and whatever happens or doesn’t happen, TV will be there to capitalize on interest in the Mayan 2012 Apocalypse from believers, skeptics and people who normally just wouldn’t care. Leading up to Dec. 21, there will […]

November 29, 2012 Jeff Pfeiffer

Updated Dec. 27, 2012, 1:46pm CT You know it’s the holiday season when the sounds of joyous carols fill the air (and sometimes those sounds start even earlier than the holiday season, with many radio stations kicking into Christmas mode the day after Halloween). SEE ALSO: HOLIDAY MUSIC SPECIALS ON TV 2013 But the radio is not the only place where you can hear holiday music. There are plenty of new and returning music-filled specials hitting the TV airwaves in December, featuring Christmas music of all sorts — from the sacred to the rockin’ — as well as New Year’s […]

Travis Taylor talks about Season 2 of “Rocket City Rednecks”

November 27, 2012 Jeff Pfeiffer

Just in time to offer a refreshing alternative to the slew of Honey Boo Boo type of “redneck” programming that tends to dumb down the American conversation, Rocket City Rednecks and its cast of brilliant — but still fun-loving — Alabama rocket scientists returns. As evidenced in the show’s successful first season last year, while the Rocket City Rednecks — engineer Travis Taylor; his father Charles Taylor (one of NASA’s original machinists); Rog Jones, who has a genius IQ; Michael Taylor, Travis’ brilliant nephew; and Pete Erbach, Travis’ physicist brother-in-law — all embrace their Southern lifestyle and enjoy living the […]

When is “It’s a Wonderful Life” on TV 2012?

November 20, 2012 Jeff Pfeiffer

When is It’s a Wonderful Life on TV 2012? If you were around 20 or 30 years ago, you might recall the heyday of being able to watch It’s a Wonderful Life on TV. And it was on a LOT. The 1946 Frank Capra classic was in the public domain at that time, and it seemed to air nearly nonstop in syndication between Thanksgiving and Christmas, in all different formats (including the dreadful-looking “colorized” version, which cashed in on a trend of the time to add tinting to B&W classics). For the past several years, rights to It’s a Wonderful […]
