Bonnie Hunt, who made an amusing hour of daytime TV that wasn't watched by enough people, has been cancelled.
"The Bonnie Hunt Show" which plays locally on WVIT Chnnel 30 each day at noon, will play out its second season, but that will be all for the show.

Like Jerry Seinfeld , Ray Romano has largely laid low since his sitcom success, surfacing as the voice in hit animated movies and awaiting the right project to return to TV.
For Seinfeld, it was a staged reunion on "Curb Your Enthusiasm." For Romano, it's the dark and clever comedy of "Men of ...

A rare variety special "Carrie Underwood: The All-Star Holiday Special" (Fox, 8 p.m.) doesn't seem to have much holiday material in it, according to the clips I've seen. But there's a nifty girl group segment with Kristen Chenoweth and Christina Applegate and Underwood sits with Dolly Parton to ...

The Lewis Carroll classic falls down a rabbit hole in the wrongheaded remake modern remake, "Alice" (Syfy, 9 p.m.). From the same team that sullied up "The Wizard of Oz" to make "Tin Man," "Alice" borrows some of that storytelling as well, as denizens on the other side of the looking glass seek ...
