Sorry, Rudolph — it ain’t Christmas yet. NBC topped Tuesday night’s primetime with “The Voice” and its “This Is Us” fall finale. And oh yeah, “Chicago Med” pitched in too. With its annual re-broadcasting of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and the “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show,” CBS finished runner-up on the evening. Over on The CW, night two of its annual DC Comics crossover continued, handing the youngest-skewing broadcast channel a third-place tie with Fox in the key 18-49 demographic. Without any “Dancing With the Stars” action, ABC settled for a fifth-place tie with Telemundo.

Showtime is infatuated with SMILF: The premium cabler has renewed the freshman comedy for a second season just four episodes into its run.

The semi-autobiographical series, created by, starring and executive-produced by Frankie Shaw, follows Bridgette Bird, a working-class single mother whose desires for relationships, sex and a career take a backseat to raising her son, whose name is — wait for it! — Larry Bird. Rosie O’Donnell co-stars as Bridgette’s mom Tutu, while Nashville‘s Connie Britton recurs.

Elementary's upcoming sixth season is getting a little bigger.

CBS has handed out an additional eight episodes to the forthcoming sixth season of the veteran procedural starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu. That will bring the total episode count for midseason drama from CBS Television Studios to 21. Season six will be the first time Elementary has not run for a full 24-episode order as well as the only time the show has been held for midseason.

Warner Bros. Television has cut ties with “The Flash” and “Supergirl” EP Andrew Kreisberg following allegations of sexual harassment made against the producer.

Although comparing the McU to the Dceu wouldn’t immediately suggest it, there is something that Marvel fans are fiendishly jealous of DC fans for. It’s Batman, nor Superman, nor even Wonder Woman. It’s not Suicide Squad’s Oscar win, nor is it all the spinoff potential of Harley Quinn. It’s not even the company’s richly populated Rogues Gallery. No. What Marvel fans are jealous of, despite the disparity in the two franchise’s quality, is the fact that DC at least has access to all of their characters and franchises. Because of Marvel’s bankruptcy in the 90’s, they sold off most of

While NBC News chiefs Andy Lack and Noah Oppenheim performed triage Wednesday afternoon on a news operation in from shock over the sudden firing of its BiggestFD talent Matt Lauer, navel lint gazers mulled the second male morning news talent to get the hook over sexual misconduct in a week.

Black Mirror is a British sci-fi series following in the footsteps of its predecessors. After all, it is a collection of stories that examine the potential consequences of new technologies, which is a sci-fi trend that started up when Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein upon being inspired by galvanism. With that said, considering its name, it should come as no surprise to learn that these stories often have a dark and satirical feel to them, thus enabling them to serve their intended function that much better. Regardless, while Black Mirror started out on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, it should

In the wake of Matt Lauer’s surprising firing Wednesday, several NBC employees who worked with the Today host have come forward to offer our sister site Variety details on his sexually charged workplace behavior.

Fearing professional repercussions, more than 10 current and former employees spoke to Variety anonymously as they recalled a litany of inappropriate comments and actions on Lauer’s part over the years. These include:

* Gifting a sex toy to a female colleague, along with “an explicit note about how he wanted to use it on her”

* Asking another female co-worker to come to his office, where he

From exposing himself to a staffer — and chiding her for not having sex with him — to treating a sex toy as an office gift, a Variety report says three women have accused former Today host Matt Lauer of sexual harassment. The women remained anonymous, fearing professional repercussions.

The publication also spoke with dozens of current and former staffers at “Today,” who reveal Lauer’s alleged harassment was an open secret and that past encounters were reported to human resources. Lauer was fired from “Today” before the November 29 telecast due to “inappropriate sexual behavior.”
