I think I'm going to try to keep doing these brief schedule overviews whenever I can. Much slower day today, with three hours of FX -- an executive session, then "Damages" (where I'm debating whether to call Tim Olyphant on referring to us as

Over at NJ.com, an expanded version of the Karl Rove/Chris Wallace/Fox News story.

Tomorrow's column will be devoted to the Fox News/Karl Rove session, but I'll offer up a few observations on what went down after the jump... Compared to the very testy CNN session from last Friday, this was, if not a lovefest, then remarkably tame. We

As I've mentioned, the broadcast network portion of press tour begins today with Fox's arrival (though, as you'll see after the jump, the networks of late like to incorporate their sister cable channels into their time), and so I thought I might give you

Looks like I may have been wrong in predicting "How were you affected by the strike?" as the Question That Will Not Die at this tour. Admittedly, it'll come up a lot more once the networks show up in a few days. But during this first
My Boys
I watched this week's "My Boys" while still disoriented from jet lag, so I don't feel qualified to discuss it. So instead, after the jump I'll put a few excerpts from my conversation with Jordana Spiro at last night's Turner

One of the more interesting panels of the day was for Cartoon Network's latest "Star Wars: Clone Wars" animated series, in which they opened the session by screening an entire episode of the show. I put that in italics not in "Hey, aren't

"Crash" the TV show features none of the actors or characters from "Crash" the Oscar-winning movie. TV "Crash" and movie "Crash" share some behind-the-scenes personnel, but most of them (like writer/director Paul Haggis and writer Bobby Moresco) have little day-to-day involvement.

The subject line quote is courtesy of "Frank TV" star Frank Caliendo, who discovered quickly what a tough room the TCA can be. Because press tour is, in theory, an information-gathering exercise, performing for the critics in general and performing comedy in particular can be a minefield. Sometimes,

The first session of a day at press tour -- particularly early in the tour, when East Coast critics have yet to adjust to the time change -- often tends to be a relaxed, often comatose affair. But Friday's opening session with CNN found the critics both alert
Deadwood
I always seem to wind up entering press tour at a, um, colorful moment. At my very first session of last summer's tour, Sarah Silverman told me to go bleep myself (she was kidding, I think), and the first image to greet me upon my arrival at this
Press tour
I fly out to press tour today and should, depending on the kindness and competence of my airline carrier and the vagaries of LA traffic, make it to the hotel in time for the final session of the day, for HBO's "True Blood." Hopefully, I'
