Rant warning. There’s a couple of ads currently being shown ad nauseum that are making Tara and Michael … nauseous. So on this week’s CommercialClack, we just gotta purge.

I wanted to like ‘The River’ — I really did. However, week after week I’m just more turned off from the series and grow more embarrassed that I’m wasting time watching it.

The title of this week’s episode made it clear we were going to lose some people. Way to take one of your most common traits and turn it on its head, show.

Who is your favorite TV slacker of all time? Is it Jeff Winger (‘Community’), Zack Morris (‘Saved By the Bell’), Pacey Witter (‘Dawson’s Creek’) or ’90s hero Parker Lewis (‘Parker Lewis, Can’t Lose’)?

Whether it’s Ivy and Derek, Eileen and Jerry, or Julia and Michael, everyone has some issue with their personal life in this week’s ‘Smash.’ Broadway can be messy, too.

The big news on the broadcast networks last week was the huge ratings for the ‘Grammy Awards’. The death of Whitney Houston brought viewer levels the show hadn’t seen since the ’80s. Over on cable, the amazing run of ‘The Walking Dead’ just keeps going. The latest premiere finished even higher than the last one.

This week’s releases include ‘Weeds’, ‘Nurse Jackie’, ‘Borgia’, ‘Fades’, ‘Sherlock Holmes’, ‘Matlock’, ‘Last of the Summer Wine’, ‘Lawrence Welk’, ‘Hazel’, ‘Jayce’, ‘Young Justice’, ‘Archie’s Weird Mysteries’, ‘ Underdog’, ‘Carmen Sandiego’, ‘Heathcliff’, ‘Gadget Boy’, and ‘Bob The Builder’.
