The " Jeopardy!" GOAT tournament is doing huge ratings for ABC.

What does the television industry hold for 2020? Mike and Joe share their predictions.

We've talked about streaming wars a lot in the past couple of months, but really, streaming is the story of the decade in TV.

It used to be that actors would only get $1 million per TV episode in the later seasons of super successful, long-running shows like "Friends" or "The Big Bang Theory."

Netflix got us all hooked on binging, but some of the newer entries in the streaming wars are going a different direction.

They were once one company, then broken up, but now Shari Redstone is re-combining CBS and Viacom.

It's the annual Screengrab Thanksgiving episode, the 2019 edition! This year Mike and Joe are thankful for some new dramas and retro comedies.
