This Sunday, AMC’s hit show “The Walking Dead” will return from its midseason break of season two. The show follows the exploits of a group of survivors in the post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by the undead.

If you’ve watched any TV in the past month, there is a pretty good chance that you’ve seen commercials for “The River.” With its debut on Tuesday, it will join FOX’s “Alcatraz” as the two shows currently on air trying really hard to become the new “Lost.

The new musical in town wants to be clear that it’s nothing like “Glee.” Other than the fact that it’s a musical, this is a statement I can agree with. Tonight, at 9 p.m. CST, NBC will premiere “Smash,” its new follow-up to “The Voice.” The show has a grown-up premise, unlike its “Glee”-ful competitor.

Let me start this off by saying that I love “Glee.” Or at least I watch it every week, because I’ve committed myself to it, and I’m entertained by anything. But as I watch each and every episode, and I watch these high school kids go through their struggles, I can’t help but feel bad…for everyone else in McKinley High.

Last April, “The Voice” premiered on NBC and became an instant hit thanks to those big red chairs. Audiences were dazzled by the strange audition process, which featured four superstar judges (Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine) turning around when they heard a voice they could just not resist.

Just as they did with “Friends” and “Cheers,” NBC is considering taking a semi-lead character from “The Office” and giving him his own vehicle.

After her performance on “Saturday Night Live” on January 14, the Internet sensation of a songstress Lana Del Rey felt backlash from all corners: anonymous Twitter users to news anchor Brian Williams all poured on the hate. It was the worst performance in history of SNL, they claimed. Some have even suggested that her career is over before it even began.

It’s hard to watch a television show with some sort of mystery these days without wondering if it can fill the void that “Lost” left when it ended in May 2010. Shows from “FlashForward” to “The Event” have tried to claim the title, but failed, and some spectacularly.

Big changes have come to NBC’s Thursday-night comedy block, and our feelings are mixed on the lineup.

“The Next Iron Chef: Super Chefs”—actually the fourth season of “The Next Iron Chef”—premiered a few weeks ago on Food Network. On the show, 10 famous chefs compete to become the newest addition to Kitchen Stadium. Rather unsurprisingly, unknown Spike Mendelsohn was eliminated in the first week. But in the second week, the judges chose to eliminate Robert Irvine, of “Restaurant: Impossible” and “Dinner: Impossible.”
