Which network TV shows are on the bubble? All of ABC’s freshmen dramas, including “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” look safe. But ABC’s new comedies, including “Trophy Wife,” are in danger of cancelation. And so is “Parenthood” and “Revolution.” Read more at...

Does ABC have a women problem? http://adage.com/article/media/abc-a-woman-problem/292404/ Advertisers are complaining that ABC is too reliant on female shows, including aging dramas like “Grey’s Anatomy."

Basically, the lack of union contracts is what keeps ESPN branding itself on ABC's sports telecasts. I think what Bob Iger and company don't seems to fully understand in this regard when it comes to sports programming on ABC (in recent years) is the overall lack of creation of prime-time...

Looking at the TBS Era of MLB Postseason Coverage, 2007-13 http://networkedblogs.com/QbD0A

What most immediately comes to my mind: *The entire Jeff Zucker era/regime, which saw NBC go from first to worst by the end of the 2000s. This includes giving five nights a week to Jay Leno in prime time. *"The Heidi Game" *Canceling shows like Star Trek, Baywatch and JAG, which went on to...

"Hannibal" is mesmerizingly good "No," says Jeff Jensen. "Television does not need another serial-killer drama. But who can resist Hannibal Lecter? Especially when the horror-pop icon has been reinvented in a cable-style drama so finely acted, visually scrumptious, and deliciously subversive...
