Light posting this weekend ...
Expect fewer-than-usual posts this holiday weekend.
In the meantime, the recently posted Q&A with the creator of CBS' "The Mentalist" might be worth a read if you're a fan of the show ... here's "The Shield" finale discussion ... midseason schedule announcements for Fox, NBC and ABC ... here's the recently updated TV series survival status report, containing links to Live Feed posts discussing the renewed-or-canceled fate of primetime broadcast shows ... and for those who missed them the first time: the best (and worst) fall TV marketing ads graded slideshow and the broadcast network fall report card slideshow.
