PILOT REVIEW: Who's Still Standing?

WHO'S STILL STANDING? Hosted by Ben Bailey Who's Still Standing is a new NBC game show airing for a week as a "four day holiday special." It is basically another twist on a standard trivia show. There is a contestant in the middle trying to win a million dollars but he first must battle 10 strangers who are trying to outlast them in a back and forth trivia contest. THE GOOD: Um, it's harmless enough? Seriously there's nothing jaw droppingly bad about this show but it's just another standard game show with nothing new to offer. The whole family can watch and the questions are easy enough for older kids. It's fine... nothing special. THE BAD: As is often the case, current game shows just try to be too fancy and too gimmicky and don't focus on making a quality game. This show was filled with easy and boring trivia while focusing on such a stupid gimmick as falling through the floor. The show tried to be humorous with the other contes...

CANCELLATION ALERT: Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

In a surprise announcement today, ABC has cancelled the long running reality show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition . A longtime staple of ABC Sunday night, Makeover was moved to Fridays this fall where it has tanked in the ratings. Many thought a less pressurized timeslot would lengthen this show's life but instead it couldn't make a dent on Friday night. The series finale will air on January 13 but ABC will continue to air specials next season. ABC will bring back Shark Tank and Primetime: What Would You Do? to the Friday lineup starting a week after the series finale.

WEEKEND REWIND: Top 10 Shows of the 2000s

Here we are at the last Weekend Rewind looking at the best shows from each decade. If you want to look back, check out my top shows from the 60s , 70s , 80s , and 90s . Every other decade was all about sitcoms for me, but as you'll see, many dramas made the list for the 2000s. Close Calls: That 70s Show (1998-2006), 8 Simple Rules (2002-2005), Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (2006-2007) 10. Criminal Minds (2005-present) The 2000s had many procedural dramas and to many, this is not one of the best ones. But it is one of my favorites. It's exceedingly dark and twisted yet it does one of the better jobs of keeping suspense and intensity as other procedurals can really drag. By focusing on serial killers, the show can really delve into psychological darkness. Plus, unlike other procedurals, the show wisely does not focus too much on the personal life of the team though the team is appealing enough to enjoy some stories. Episodes you should see: #18 "Somebody's Watching...

On a night of all repeats on CBS, Girls registered the highest demo performance with a stunning 3.3. This show is simply a beast and is showing no sign of slowing down.

After years of trying, CBS has found a new hit for the 8:30 slot. BAD WEEK: "I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER" The final new show to the fall season was not a hit with viewers and especially not with critics.
