Even though it beat out all other network shows Sunday night, more than a million fewer viewers tuned in to see the country awards in what may be their final broadcast from Las Vegas.

It’s weird to think that the home of cable TV’s biggest ratings juggernaut is in need of another hit.
Here’s a look at Sarah Palin’s new series, “Amazing America,” which is full of what the CEO of the Sportsman Channel calls “some really fun stories about terrific people and places across Red, Wild and Blue America.”
The comedy, which once came to Vegas for an episode titled “Henderson, Nevada-Adjacent, Baby! Henderson, Nevada-Adjacent!,” comes to an end tonight. At least the series can’t kill off the mother. It did that in the pilot.
“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is very good. But there are plenty of other comic-book adaptations on the horizon.
Take away the trio of ginormous helicarriers that are capable of destroying a million or so “combatants” at a time, and “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” easily could have been a member of the “Bourne” family.
Sure, you could use HBO On Demand or HBO GO. You could get the DVDs. But HBO2 is going old-school with back-to-back 30-hour marathons in time for Sunday’s fourth-season premiere.
This final season has so tarnished the legacy of “How I Met Your Mother,” it would take something just short of divine intervention for the hourlong finale (8 p.m. Monday, KLAS-TV, Channel 8) to wash away the bad taste.
Prepare to be transported to an era when staying in a hotel was considered exotic, romantic, even something of an adventure, and not just another sleepless night because you can’t stop worrying about the potential for bedbugs or who did what to whom on that bedspread that keeps brushing up against your lower lip.
Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Melissa McCarthy and the living legend Clint Eastwood take the Colosseum stage as the convention draws to a close.
The goosebumpy, epic-looking opening minutes of “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” which showed the titular mutants battling Sentinels, grabbed me by my geeky parts in way’s last night’s reveal of 35 minutes of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” just didn’t.
Sony surprises attendees by showing 35 minutes of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” at Caesars Palace.
The studio introduces raunchy new footage from its upcoming comedies “Neighbors,” “A Million Ways to Die in the West” and “Dumb and Dumber To,” but Angelina Jolie steals the show.
Paramount kicked off the four-day gathering of movie theater owners with appearances by Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Will Arnett and plenty of newly released footage of the studio’s upcoming films.
Leslie Higgins, the Mandalay Bay butler played by Stephen Merchant, is the best thing about this Wednesday’s episode titled, simply, “Las Vegas.”
