Once again, CBS was dominant in the ratings race, landing 13 of the Top 20 shows last week. It didn’t hurt that it broadcast the NCAA championship game, which yielded 23.43 million viewers as the week’s top program. Otherwise, ‘NCIS’ and its spinoff ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ were typically terrific. Other shows from CBS in the Top 20 included ’60 Minutes,’ ‘The Good Wife’ and ‘The Big Bang Theory.’ The impressive part? Some of those were reruns.

ABC performed fine with ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and ‘Modern Family,’ while NBC’s ‘The Voice’ outperformed FOX’s ‘American Idol’ yet again. The bad news...

Last season on "The Good Wife," Lockhart Gardner faced some financial troubles after their biggest client Patrick Edelstein (Jack Carpenter) decided to take his business elsewhere, specifically to Louis Canning (Michael J. Fox) and Patti Nyholm (Martha Plimpton).

During testimony at a trial, Peter Florrick (Chris Noth) admitted for the first time publicly that he and his wife Alicia (Julianna Marguilies) had separated. Meanwhile, Alicia visited her mother-in-law Jackie Florrick in the hospital and threatened to sue her for taking money from the children's trust fund.

But perhaps the most...

Kristin Chenoweth -- who just quit The Good Wife after suffering a devastating injury on set last month -- was out and about in NYC today .... and by the looks of it a lawsuit may be looming.

TMZ broke the story ... Kristin was struck in the head by a piece of lighting equipment and rushed to the hospital by ambulance. At the time the NYFD said the injuries were "minor," and her people told us she was fine.

But apparently that's not the case, because she's wearing a neck brace a month after the accident.

We called her rep to find out if a lawsuit is in the cards ... so far, no response.

After sustaining a serious on-set head injury last month, Kristin Chenoweth has quit "The Good Wife."

On July 11, the actress was struck by a falling piece of lighting equipment while shooting scenes in Brooklyn, New York and was admitted to the hospital. She was discharged one day later and recuperated at home.

Unfortunately, Chenoweth still hasn't fully recovered from the incident and had to pull out of her recurring role. Chenoweth had been cast in a multi-arc storyline alongside series stars Julianna Margulies, Josh Charles and Chris Noth.

She told People.com, "It is with deep regret...

Battling it out for the Outstanding Drama Series award will be "Mad Men," "Homeland," "Downton Abbey," "Dexter," "Breaking Bad," and "Boardwalk Empire."

Outstanding Comedy Series nods go to "30 Rock," "Girls," "Modern Family," "The Big Bang Theory," "Veep," and "Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Notable nominees include Zooey Deschanel from fledging series "New Girl," Julia Louis-Dreyfus from HBO's "Veep," Claire Danes f...

Singer/actress Kristin Chenoweth was struck by lighting equipment on the set of lawyer drama "The Good Wife" and sent to the hospital yesterday. Her medical condition has not been disclosed.

CBS Television Studios issued a statement: "While filming a scene for 'The Good Wife' in Brooklyn, a gust of wind blew a lighting silk out of place striking actress Kristin Chenoweth."

Lighting silk is cloth used to soften or deflect artificial light or sunlight during shooting.

"All of us at the studio and the show are thinking about Kristin and wishing her a quick recovery," the statement concluded...

CBS just announced its new 2012-2013 primetime schedule, which includes four new series. The network is also making four key time period moves.

Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment, commented, "These new series feature a great range of bold concepts, rich characters, big stars and fresh faces. From a new take on Sherlock Holmes to an epic battle for control of 1960s Las Vegas to a working-class point of view in a prestigious law firm, the dramas each have a unique style and sensibility."

The new series are:

-"Elementary," a contemporary take on the legendary detective Sherlock Hol...

It’s been an unofficial tradition for “Supernatural’s” 20th episode to mine the treasures of eccentricities possessed by recurring star, Misha Collins, and/or to lay the groundwork for the season finale. Last year, I was riveted by the fantastic “The Man Who Would Be King” that detailed Castiel's fall from fierce, righteous angel to collaborator with demons. This year, I was mildly entertained by a funny, albeit meandering episode that detailed Castiel redefining his grace.

It irritates me when the boys are written stupid, so I’m a little chaffed to find that after sending Charlie Bra...

Michael J. Fox kept his struggle with Parkinson's disease secret for seven years because he feared it would destroy his ability to find work.

The star was diagnosed with the debilitating disorder at the height of his career back in 1991.

Fox kept his medical condition from fans and suffered in silence until 1998 when his symptoms became impossible to hide - and he now admits he purposely kept his health battle secret for the sake of his career.

He tells Parade magazine, "I thought, 'Oh my god, are people going to laugh at me if they know I'm sick? Can I still do my work?'"

Shortly after...

Actress Julianna Margulies has defended her hit show The Good Wife's controversial oral sex scene, insisting it was a bold move by drama co-creator Michelle King.

The former ER star's character Alicia Florrick was pleasured in a bathroom by her cheating spouse, portrayed by Chris Noth, during an episode which debuted in 2010 - and the sexy clinch immediately became a water cooler topic among fans.

Margulies admits she was initially concerned about how she'd play a woman in the throes of sexual ecstasy, but now she's proud of the scene.

She tells More magazine, "The first thing that went ...

Actress Julianna Margulies studied the fall-out from real-life political scandals to perfect her scorned spouse role in hit TV drama The Good Wife.

In the Emmy Award-winning series, Margulies plays Alicia Florrick, a lawyer and mom-of-two who is humiliated when her husband, portrayed by Chris Noth, is sentenced to jail following a sex and corruption scandal.

And the former ER star reveals she did her best to get into character by studying Silda Spitzer, Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Edwards, all of whom were betrayed by their politician partners and tasked with the decision of whether or ...

In any given TV week, a TV network could make it sound like they trumped everyone else, that they had something to be proud of. This week, all four major networks could actually mean it.

While the top shows were an also-ran (yep, ‘American Idol’ is perched on top, with ‘The Voice’ close behind and boasting its 18-49 demo), every network had a Top 20 show. NBC didn’t have one besides ‘The Voice,’ but every other network had multiple shows. And that doesn’t happen much these days.

FOX had both weekly editions of ‘American Idol’ as well as Keifer Sutherland’s ‘Touch' (Number 19); CBS had its...

ABC's Shark Tank opens tonight at 8 PM ET/PT - and before you step in, get the inside dish plus meet the newest Shark, Lori Greiner!

Now in its third season, Shark Tank brings hopeful entrepreneurs face-to-face with a panel of potential investors, or "sharks," that could make their business aspirations a reality...if they can be convinced. Sometimes, it's a chance for us to watch someone's dream come true. Other times, it's painful to see them crash and burn.

I recently visited the set of Shark Tank to check the waters out for myself, and here are a few things you might not know.

1. Th...

The Golden Globes are the first big awards show of the season, and the stars came out in colorful ensembles to attend one of Hollywood's most prestigious events leading up to the Academy Awards.

There were very few fashion missteps at this year's event. "Homeland" actress Morena Baccarin wore a daring black dress that showed quite a bit of cleavage (is that appropriate?), while "Ringer" star Sarah Michelle Gellar took a chance with a blue and white tie-dyed gown (too bohemian?).

There wasn't a lot of flash on the red carpet. Few stars wore sequins (Laura Dern, Madonna, Diane Lane and did)...

The Help has been tipped for glory at the 2012 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards after receiving four nominations.

The movie will compete for the coveted Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture prize, alongside The Artist, Bridesmaids, The Descendants and Midnight in Paris.

The film also earned nods in the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role category for Viola Davis, as well as Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role thanks to Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer.

Trailing with three nominations was silent film The Artist and...

We adore Parker Posey, but we don't always like her fashion choices. The actress attended the screening of Madonna's movie "W.E." at the MOMA in New York City on Sunday looking clownish in a very red dress, tights and pumps.She accentuated her look with a gigantic scarf.

The actress, who recently appeared in episodes of "The Big C" and "The Good Wife," stars in several upcoming films, including "Price Check," "And Now A Word From Our Sponsor" and "Highland Park."

What do you think of her look?

With the new fall season starting in September, a lot of TV on DVD titles have turned out over the last few months to help fans catch up with favorite shows. I do mean a lot. So many that it'd be a deluge of reviews if we were to write them all up individually. To keep from drowning you in print, but still keep you up to date, here's a quick look at many of the new titles that have arrived recently.

The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Fourth Season (Warner Home Video)

The Show: CBS's hit sitcom reveals in its geekdom, with a fourth season peppered with more pop culture references and...

Modern Family came full circle at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, winning the very first honors of the night and closing the show by topping the prestigious Comedy Series category.

Mad Men looked set to dominate the night, going in with 19 top nominations, and it continued its winning streak for the best drama title for the fourth year in a row.

But the stars of the period drama didn't fair so well - Jon Hamm was a four-time loser for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series - Kyle Chandler claimed that prize for his role in Friday Night Lights, while Julianna Margulies beat t...

Labor Day is over, signaling the unofficial end of summer and the start of the new TV season. While television is somewhat entertaining during June, July, and August, it's the fall debuts that many TV addicts anticipate.

There’s nothing I love more than being swept off my pop culture-lovin’ feet by a new television series. For this television-aholic, it feels like being given an invitation to an exhilarating alternate reality, and I have this lovin' feeling for two summer shows. I worship them so much that I’m not even obsessing about the impending start of the fall season (Kidding, less than three weeks, people!).

Here are two shows that I’m head-over-heels for. One is a sophisticated legal drama set in the core of the Big Apple, another is a guilty-pleasure reality show about a real basketball wife.

It may be a little early to predict the Emmy winners, but unlike the Oscars, not much changes in the Emmy Awards season once the nominations are out.

The Emmys can be very tough to predict, but we'll take our best shot. Here's who we think will go home with the gold on Sept. 18th. Do you agree?

Outstanding Drama Series
'Boardwalk Empire'
'Dexter'
'Friday Night Lights'
'Game of Thrones'
'The Good Wife'
'Mad Men'

After yet another outstanding season, it looks like 'Mad Men' may make it four in a row. Its only real competition is 'Boardwalk Empire,' which took the Golden Globe, and...

What happened to this year's Emmy nominations? They're...actually pretty great.

I normally can't stand TV's big awards show; it seems like the same people and series get nominated all the time, with the occasional "why did that get nominated at all?" head-scratcher for variety. But the 2011 nominations were announced early Thursday morning, and while it's still a little puzzling (though let's not name names), there's a bevy of deserving names on that big list.

Here are some of my favorites:

Finally, some love for Justified: I still maintain that star Timothy Olyphant was robbed l...

Hit drama Mad Men looks set to dominate the 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards after scoring 19 nominations, including Best Drama.

Mad Men star Jon Hamm will go up against the likes of Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Hugh Laurie (House) and Michael C. Hall (Dexter) for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, while his co-star Elisabeth Moss will battle for the lead actress prize against Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) and Kathy Bates (Harry's Law).

The Outstanding Drama Series category will be a closely-fought affair - Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Dexter, Friday Night Ligh...

Actress America Ferrera wed her longtime boyfriend in a secret ceremony on Monday night.

The Ugly Betty star and Ryan Piers Williams exchanged vows before close friends and family, her representative confirms to People.com.

The couple became engaged last June.

This "plunge taking" might help her with her next project, America is returning to TV to romance Alan Cumming's character on hit legal drama The Good Wife.

Hit TV show "Mad Men" was the toast of the inaugural Critics' Choice Television Awards in California on Monday, scooping three top honors.

The series won the Best Drama prize at the Beverly Hills ceremony, while its star Jon Hamm took home the Best Actor in a Drama award. Christina Hendricks rounded out their trio of honors by winning Best Supporting Actress in a Drama.

Best Actress in a Drama went to Julianna Margulies for "The Good Wife" and John Noble won Best Supporting Actor in a Drama for his turn in "Fringe."

Tina Fey was also celebrating at the event after claiming the Best Actre...

Another television season has come and gone with the usual blitzkrieg of shocking deaths, double-crosses, surprise pregnancies, and aggravating cliffhangers. It was a varied batch of season finales: some were amazing; others were lackluster; and a few finales left me counting the jumping sharks. I can’t watch every finale, but here’s a sampling of the awesomely good and the appallingly bad.

Let’s break it down.

The Good:

“The Good Wife” CBS

Julianna Margulies is fantastic as Alicia Florrick, the scorned wife trying to rebuild her life after her husband’s famed infidelities. The seco...

Julianna Margulies was secretly "thrilled" when she was offered a movie role as a "lesbian porn star" but turned down the part for the sake of her young child.

"The Good Wife" star was sent the script for the unidentified project after admitting she'd love to take on a job completely different from the hit legal drama in between shooting the series - but the 44 year old didn't expect to be asked to play such a raunchy role.

She tells The Hollywood Reporter, "I love the role I play, and I work 10 months out of the year, so the 10 weeks I have off - it's just not worth it to me to do anothe...

CBS announced today its new 2011-2012 primetime schedule, ordering five new series and making key time-period moves for CSI and The Good Wife to strengthen its already top-rated primetime lineup.

The new series include three new dramas and two new comedies: "Person Of Interest," a crime thriller from renowned executive producer J.J. Abrams starring Jim Caviezel, Emmy Award winner Michael Emerson and Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson; "Unforgettable," starring Dylan Walsh and Poppy Montgomery as a former detective with a rare condition that enables her to remember virtually every det...

The number one thing you need to watch this week is “Glee” because after months of speculation, viewers will finally find out which cast member they will say goodbye to forever. That’s right; in case you haven’t heard, one of McKinley High’s own will face an unexpected loss. Cast and crew have been tight-lipped about who is dying, but viewer guesses include Sue’s sister, Puck and Quinn’s daughter, or Kurt’s dad. Of course, this doesn’t mean it couldn’t be one of the regular cast members; ugh, I cringed at the thought!

‘Amazing Race; Unfinished Business’ wraps up with $1 million winner, ent...
