YEAR IN REVIEW: The Top 20 Episodes of 2013

My regular Weekend Rewind looking at past CBS seasons will return next week but this week is my third annual Top 20 episodes of the year post. (Check out my past Top 20 episodes lists from 2012 and 2011 ). I will provide my regular disclaimer that there are certain shows like Parenthood and How I Met Your Mother that I am behind on and have not watched new episodes in 2013. There are also many cable shows I do not watch even though I'm sure I'd love them. So this is my Top 20 episodes of the shows I watch, enjoy! 20. Nashville #21 "I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive" (May 22, 2013) There probably aren't any Nashville episodes that deserve to be on this list. In fact, this episode almost worked its way off this list thanks to the ridiculous daytime soap opera-like ending of a car crash. But it made the list for two reasons. One was a dynamic performance by Charles Esten as his character, Deacon, fell off the wagon with his battle with alcoholism. Bu...

RENEWAL ALERT: Masterchef Junior

FOX announced today that it has renewed Masterchef Junior for a second season. The latest Gordon Ramsey cooking show aired from September until November on Friday nights and got a second season. I'm guessing it will be back on Fridays again next fall as it did decently enough there for a cheap unscripted show. Masterchef Junior joins other official FOX renewals Sleepy Hollow, Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons, and Glee .

RENEWAL ALERT: Survivor

CBS announced today that it has renewed Survivor for next season, both cycles, making it the veteran reality show's 29th and 30th editions! Survivor has been a staple on CBS since the summer of 2000 and made a successful move from Thursday nights to Wednesday nights a few years back. It is usually one of the first shows renewed by CBS as it requires more lead time for filming and production. Survivor joins NBC's The Blacklist and a whole list of FOX shows ( Glee, Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons, and Sleepy Hollow ) as early renewals for next season.

GOOD WEEK/BAD WEEK: December 7, 2013

GOOD WEEK: NBC It has been a pretty wonderful week for NBC. On Monday, they had the always powerful The Voice and then The Blacklist scored its best numbers since September for its fall finale. On Tuesday, things were up across the board with Chicago Fire posting its best numbers since mid-October.
