“Two and a Half Men” ends its run tonight

It was never one of my favorites, but you have to hand it to Two and a Half Men — like other Chuck Lorre productions (looking at you, The Big Bang Theory), the series has maintained remarkable staying power despite airdate changes, cast changes, infighting and generally lukewarm critical response.

What’s “Odd” is new again: Matthew Perry reboots The Odd Couple for CBS

One could excuse Matthew Perry if he feels snakebit. Since Friends disbanded in 2004, Perry has led respectable but ultimately rejected efforts in Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Mr. Sunshine and Go On. Fortunately, Perry’s latest project, a sitcom reboot of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple, has a few things going for it that his previous attempts did not. It’s got a solid foundation of well-known source material from the 1968 Jack Lemmon/Walter Matthau film and the 1970s Tony Randall/Jack Klugman TV series. It’s got an incredibly simple premise. And it’s on CBS, who’s giving it a plum premiere […]

“The Late Late Show” host James Corden charms

The 36-year-old Brit James Corden was nothing short of charming (and funny) as he talked to critics about his new CBS venture — The  Late Late Show With James Corden, which begins March 23 on CBS. Corden took the stage at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour in Pasadena in January and said he had no true blueprint for what the show will be yet, however, he’d “love to make a warm show that’s really funny.” Shouldn’t be a problem. Corden was humble in acknowledging the incredible opportunity he’s been presented with, and admitted that we was already feeling […]
