I've been catching up on a bit of TV from the last week over the past couple days. And that reminded me to tell you that we are about to have a good amount of new TV in the coming weeks. The question is just how long will it be around.
Coming up tomorrow we have the last new episodes of "My Name Is Earl"(Thursday 7 NBC) and "30 Rock"(Thursday 7:30 NBC) that we will probably see this year, there is a new "ER"(Thursday 9 NBC) which will leave 2 new episodes.
Friday there is the first of the final 5 episodes of "Friday Night Lights"(Friday 8 NBC) .
And then things start to pick up on Sunday. First there is the premiere of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"(Sunday 7 FOX) on a special night, I have seen the pilot and it looks to be a good show and should fill your Sci Fi needs until Battlestar returns. Then we have a new episode of "Family Guy"(Sunday 8 FOX), and I highly recommend giving this offensive but hilarious show a chance (especially with such a limited selection available). There is also a new episode of "Brothers & Sisters"(Sunday 9 ABC) and the Golden Globes (I briefly looked at the TV nominees, was disappointed and quickly lost interest. The Globes are way too early and I couldn't even tell you 2 movie nominees that I know of for sure. I usually get pretty into catching the top movies before the awards, but there is still good football left).
Monday "Prison Break"(Monday 7 FOX) returns with the first of 5 new episodes and is followed by "Terminator"(Monday 8 FOX) at its normal time for the second of the 9 episode run. The new "American Gladiators"(Monday NBC 8) is pretty funny and if you liked the original you will like this. "October Road"(Monday ABC 9) is a great show that still has 9 episodes ready to go.
Tuesday sees the return of the juggernaut that is "American Idol"(Tuesday 7 FOX) with the first of back to back nights of 2 hour audition shows. "One Tree Hill"(Wednesday 8 The CW) continues with the third of 12 episodes completed for the season.
Some thoughts from my viewing tonight:
Tim Riggins on "Friday Night Lights" is the best character on TV right now, and moving him in with the Taylors is absolute genius. Not only do we get a little more Riggins, but he and coach Taylor make for an unstoppable team. Great episode, best in awhile, so many great Riggins lines, a twister, a fight and Coach got to be a bad ass.
Last week on "ER" Gloria Ruben returned for the night and we learned that Uncle Jesse drinks Lo Carb Monster (just like me).
"October Road" is a little mentally draining, but in this case, that's a good thing. The show does a great job of not only making you feel for the characters and sympathize with them but also really appreciate their joy (no matter how short lived it is).
Hope to watch yesterday's 2 hour premiere of "One Tree Hill" tomorrow night, but I'm very excited for it.

I think we need to head to L.A. and become scab writers.
I was actually thinking the exact same thing today.
I mean it is the right thing to do, think of all of the people that are out of work because of the strike. Its not fair that they suffer or that we the viewers suffer, so really everyone wins.
Especially if we get to make all of the shows our own, and yes I would want to write for EVERY show that I watch.
You thought David Kelley and Aaron Sorkin did a lot, they can't hold a candle to the team we are going to put together. Its going to revolutionize TV as we know it.
I guess we may as well start on some scripts, who wants to write what?
The B-Fresh Crew will write the raps.
Katy and I randomly watched 1 "competition" of American Gladiator and we were both absolutely laughing at the show. SO FAKE! WILL NEVER WASTE EVEN ANOTHER MINUTE ON THIS GARBAGE!
Actually the B Fresh crew would be technical advisers responsible for any breakin, posin', dancing or any other B-Boy related activities.
The S Types will write the raps.
And by the way, I like that you are already foreseeing a need to write raps. I'm excited to see what shows will have said raps, we could take every show on TV to new levels.
it is the 22nd time to post!
