In a day otherwise devoid of TV news, it looks as if the major networks are seizing the opportunity to tinker with their lineups. Where earlier saw CBS grant full-season orders to 'The Crazy Ones,' 'Mom' and 'The Millers,' NBC has now officially canceled the stagnant 'Welcome to the Family' and 'Ironside' remake, setting 'Community' season 5 to premiere in early 2014 along with 'Chicago Fire' spin

Local singer and guitar player Shawn 'Big Sexy' Smith of the band 'Showtime' and the duo 'Poor Tim' was selected by 'Team CeeLo' on Monday night's episode of NBC's The Voice. "I'm from Utica, New York," Shawn exclaimed when Judge CeeLo asked about him...

Central New York fans of singer Shawn Smith were a bit disappointed this week when the local Showtime band member didn't appear on NBC's 'The Voice' - however, a promo released by the network today on YouTube might offer up a hint into future shows...
