March Madness: NCAA Selection Sunday 2015 TV special on CBS

Recruit. Rebuild. Win. Repeat. It’s a vicious cycle in college basketball, but one that Kentucky Wildcats head coach John Calipari seems to have mastered. Calipari won his first (and the school’s eighth) NCAA championship as a head coach in 2012, then lost six players to the NBA Draft. The following season, UK missed the NCAA Tournament entirely. In 2014, a young Wildcats team got it together in the postseason and reached the championship game as a No. 8 seed. This season, with few NBA defections and stars Aaron and Andrew Harrison, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Dakari Johnson returning, UK again has […]

24 Hours of A Christmas Story simulcast on TBS and TNT for first time

In 2014, Turner Networks is airing its 18th annual “24 Hours of A Christmas Story” programming event starting Christmas Eve at 8pm ET/PT and continuing until 8pm on Christmas Day.

This marks a homecoming of sorts for the film on TNT; when Turner Networks started this marathon in 1997, it originally aired on TNT before […]

James Franco as James Dean
Interview

#TBT TV: James Franco finds his cause as James Dean (2001)

This week’s TV Throwback Thursday takes us to August 2001. Back then, James Franco was coming off playing high-school burnout Daniel Desario on the brilliant-but-canceled Freaks and Geeks, was still taking uncredited roles as Apartment Guy 3 and was still about a year away from becoming a household name as Harry Osborn in the Spider-Man film franchise. Sept. 11 was still just another day next month. And Lori Acken still went by the delightfully alliterative name Lori Lundquist. Lori got to interview burgeoning star Franco back in the day (he still had two arms), when he starred in the TNT […]

TNT’s “On the Menu” lets you taste winning dishes

Now here’s a new foodie show to get seriously excited about. TNT’s On the Menu, debuting Friday, Oct. 3 at 8pm ET/PT, is giving viewers the opportunity to sample winning dishes the day after each episode airs. I’ll use just about any excuse to eat out, so if this series turns out to be good, bad or indifferent, I’m still OK with it — as I’m in for testing these dishes, as it’s a night free of cooking for me and an opportunity to sample some hopefully amazing dishes from home chefs across the country. As said, this is the […]
