Since "The X Factor" recently fired three out of its five stars and "American Idol" has yet to unearth any stand-out talent in its audition rounds, it...

The "Idol" Portland auditions focused more on the rejects than the golden ticket winners, but we managed to scrape the barrel to find the five most memorable auditions of the week. Will these singers make it through Hollywood Week?

I haven't been overly impressed with many of the auditionees this season, but the singers in St. Louis were generally cute, commercial and easy to listen to ... Missouri might be the state to beat.

It's no wonder that "Nikita" showrunner Craig Silverstein has been referring to this episode as "Game Change 2," since "Clean Sweep" managed to realign many allegiances going into the second half of the season.

This week's "Supernatural," titled "The Slice Girls," will no doubt leave fans split since it revisited the basic theme of one of this season's most divisive episodes, "The Girl Next Door."

This week is full of big premieres, major milestones and some Valentine's Day love. NBC's "Smash" and ABC's "The River" both premiere, and AMC's "...

Are the show's writers seriously unaware of how deeply problematic it is that they continue to write Blair as a commodity to be bought and sold by the men in her life?

We're all familiar with the age-old adage, "Less is more;" but find me a TV fan who wouldn't eagerly take an extra 12 (or 24, or 48, or non-stop until...

Since we're lucky to hear 20 seconds of actual vocal demonstration from any of the "American Idol" hopefuls, my previous method of choosing the episode's five most memorable moments has been rendered obsolete. Thus, a straight rundown of the episode's highlights.

Even sharing its timeslot with genre favorites like "Supernatural" and "Fringe," NBC's "Grimm" has managed to carve out a solid niche for itself on Fr...

"This is Hollywood week, and THIS ... is a complete waste of your time." Okay, that's not exactly how Ryan Seacrest introduced the week's second "American Idol" episode, but it certainly should've been. Where was the singing in this singing competition?

Was this week's taut, labyrinthine installment of "Nikita" the standout of Season 2 so far? Sorry, "Fair Trade," I think "Rogue" just usurped your position at the top of the pile, as the episode combined all the best elements of our favorite spy drama: juicy backstory, dastardly double-crossing, well-paced plotting and one hell of a curveball ending.

Choosing to follow a mythology-based or emotionally heavy episode with a light, frivolous one is the "Supernatural" way, and your enjoyment of said filler episode is generally dependent on whether you're a fan of the monster-of-the-week format or wish that the show could be all plot, all the time.

But none of the female characters in the show are passive damsels in distress, and that is where "Once" is truly excelling. A woman doesn't have to be "good" or "perfect" to be compelling.

It's Valentine's Day week on television and instead of chocolates, flowers or nauseatingly sweet cards, your small-screen significant other got you th...

I've been watching the show since day one and it gives me no pleasure to write recaps full of exasperation or irritation, but at this point, a part of me truly does wonder if "Gossip" is past the point of no return.

Some loyal "Supernatural" fans might have been feeling deprived by the lack of Castiel on your screens this season, but look to another CW show for yo...

As entertaining as it might be to watch the star-less sequel to "Contagion" play out among emotionally volatile reality contestants on "American Idol" (i.e. not entertaining in the slightest), I believe we all signed up for this show to watch some actual singing, and thankfully, that was in ready supply this week.

At this point, I just wish that the judges had skipped straight to waterboarding to figure out the finalists, since this painful exercise in delayed gratification seems far more torturous than actual torture would be.

It would've been tough to beat last week's installment of Nikita, which threw so many twists at us it was hard to figure out which way was up and which was down, but "Origins" proved to be a worthy successor.

Whenever there's an A-grade episode of Supernatural these days, chances are that evil genius Ben Edlund is the man behind the magic.

True love seems further out of reach than ever following this week's "Once Upon a Time," at least for for Snow White, Prince Charming and their Storybrooke alter egos.

Just when we thought "Gossip Girl" had gone too far to save, this week's episode took us back to the Upper East Side we know and love.

We mostly lost a few faceless nobodies who hadn't been given any exposure during the audition rounds, and I didn't even catch their names, but there were a couple of surprises.

I'm still not feeling particularly invested in seeing any of them become the latest in a long line of moderately successful recording artists. Maybe Heejun Han, just for being so hilarious.
