What To Watch: September 12

Leave a comment

Two new shows premiere tonight. NBC continues it’s fall roll out with another comedy, this time by Late Night’s Jimmy Fallon, called Guys with Kids. While over on FOX, they start their two-night premiere of The X-Factor.

8/7c – FOX – The X-Factor – Season 2 Premiere. Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid are joined by new judges, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato as they travel the nation searching for undiscovered talent 12 years old or over – both solo artists and vocal groups – who are worthy of the largest prize in television history: a $5 million recording contract with Syco/Sony Music. Watched about 2 episodes of this last season and didn’t like it at all but that might have been because I can’t stand Nicole Scherzinger and Steve Jones as the host was not good. But I shall tune in tonight because I’m curious to see how crazy Britney gets.

 
10/9c – NBC – Guys With Kids – Series Premiere. The show is about three 30-something dads trying to hold on to their youth, while holding their new babies’ hands. The show stars Chris (Jesse Bradford, The West Wing), Nick (Zach Cregger, Friends with Benefits) and Gary (Anthony Anderson, Law & Order) have each other to help navigate their survival as new dads, while still trying desperately to stay dudes. Balancing work or staying at home, painfully married or happily divorced, they know that taking care of the little ones while maintaining a social life is a daily challenge. The show also stars Jamie Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos) and Tempestt Bledsoe (The Cosby Show). I’m not expecting much from this show. It’s like they took the part with the men from the movie What To Expect When You Are Expecting and decided to make show. Why Jimmy Fallon would do this, I don’t know. But we’ll see. I’ll be watching of course just out of curiosity but it’ll more than likely get cut because much better shows are coming soon.

What To Watch: September 11

Only a couple of premieres tonight and they are NBC’s Parenthood and FX’s Sons of Anarchy.

 

10/9c – NBC – Parenthood – Season 4 premiere. Last year, a lot happened with the Braverman clan: Crosby and Jasmine got married, Julia and Joel get a new son but he isn’t what they expected, Haddie is going to Cornell and Sarah accepts Mark’s proposal. It’s going to be one crazy season. One of the most underrated shows on tv.

10/9c – FX – Sons of Anarchy – Season 5 Premiere. Things didn’t leave off great for some of the gang at the end of Season 4. Clay (Ron Perlman) was on the outs with Jax (Charlie Hunnam) and Gemma (Katey Sagal). Opie (Ryan Hurst) was ready to walk away from the whole club after what happened to Piney. The new season picks up pretty much better and worse than it ended with everyone kind of doing their own thing. There are also some new players in the mix in the form of Jimmy Smits and Harold Perrineau. It should be a nice opener for what is to be a great season.

New Show Alert: ABC Family’s Bunheads

Leave a comment

Bunheads is a new show coming to ABC Family from the creator of Gilmore Girls, Amy Sherman-Palladino. The show centers on Michelle (Tony award winner Sutton Foster), a Las Vegas showgirl who impulsively gets married, moves to her new husband’s small hometown, and takes a teaching position at her new mother-in-law’s (Kelly Bishop) dance school.

I watched the pilot and I was in within the first 15 mins. It’s so fantastic. I fell in love instantly. The way the episode ends completely hooked me for the rest of the season. I just want to know what happens now. I was a huge fan of Gilmore Girls so I’ll watch anything from Palladino. The writing here is just as fun and witty as Gilmore and the acting is pretty good. Kelly Bishop, who played the mother and grandmother of the Loreleis, plays the mother in law to Sutton Foster’s Michelle.

Bunheads premieres on ABC Family Monday, June 11th at 9/8c.

Premieres Premieres Premieres!!!

8/7c

American Idol (FOX) – Season Premiere. Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, and Randy Jackson are back tonight with the 11th season of American Idol. This is the best part of this show because all the terrible auditions are shown. After the first two weeks I turn this show off. After all the horrible singers are gone, who cares. It gets so boring. At least Simon use to make it interesting. Now the three judges left are just ehh and really have nothing at all interesting to say.

9/8c

Criminal Minds (CBS) – Winter return. The team is  traveling to San Francisco under suspicion that the Zodiac Killer is once again on a murderous warpath. Meanwhile, Reid will ponder his own capabilities as he accompanies Prentiss to a seminar on violent crime hosted by the crime novelist Patricia Cornwell.

10/9c

CSI (CBS) – Winter return. When a professional hit takes place at a law firm that Catherine recommended to a friend, she helps the FBI investigate. This is the episode before Marg Helgenburg’s exit. I might have to watch these last two episodes since Catherine Willows was my fave on this show. I have only watched off and on since William Peterson’s Gill Grissom left about 3 seasons ago.

Mistresses (BBC) – Season Premiere. Finally BBC is airing the final season of this show. I liked it very much and I’m sad that it didn’t continue. The name should tell you a lot about this show. It’s soapy and quite delicious and there are some really good stories as well as some good acting.

Royal Pains (USA) – Winter Premiere. Eric Kassabian’s life hangs in the balance after a prescription error and  Hank blames Dr. Van Dyke instead of Divya. Meanwhile, Paige tosses convention aside and makes Evan an offer he can’t refuse.

Premieres and Returns For Thursday 1/12/12

3 Comments

More premieres and returns tonight. NBC Thursday night comedies are back, well most of them (sorry Community fans), as well as CBS’ Thursday lineup. Also, VH1 has the Critics’ Choice awards. Soo much to watch and these are just the premieres.

8/7c

Big Bang Theory (CBS) – Winter return. Sheldon gets in trouble with Amy when he isn’t impressed by her recent accomplishment, and Howard must come to grips with Bernadette’s dislike of children.

 

30 Rock (NBC) – Season Premiere. Love this show. It got pushed up to mid-season because of Tina Fey’s pregnancy but thank goodness its back. Too bad its at the expense of Community. Tonight’s premiere finds that as everyone is returning from the holiday break, NBC’s new talent competition, “America’s Kidz Got Singing”, is a hit, but Jenna’s role as the judge everyone loves to hate causes Jack to question the show’s family value. Much to his chagrin, Tracy’s usual antics fail to aggravate Liz, while Kenneth takes the day off to do his dream chores as he awaits the Rapture.

Critics’ Choice Movie Awards (VH1) – It’s the first big award show on the road to the Oscars. Plenty of stars will be in attendance and the fashion will be AMAZING as it usually is at these things. For the list of nominees, check out the Critics’ Choice website.

 

 

8:30/7:30c

Parks & Recreation (NBC) – Winter return. Another show that is absolutely hilarious. I finally got to the end of season 1 and it seriously hilarious. Gotta catch up to the current season. On tonight’s episode, Leslie enlists everyone’s help in staging an attention-getting event. Ben explores a new hobby, while April and Andy adopt a pet.

Rob! (CBS) – Series Premiere. This show stars Rob Schneider and that should just about tell you all you need to know about this show. It looks awful. Almost as awful as the ABC show, Work It. Rob plays a guy who use to be a confirmed bachelor, but just recently married into a tight knit Mexican family. Here is a clip. 

9/8c

The Finder (FOX) – Series Premiere. This is a spin-off from the show Bones. It stars Geoff Stults (7th Heaven, October Road) as Walter, an investigator who uses his  gift of finding things (get it The Finder) to help others recover what they’ve lost.  Michael Clarke Duncan(The Green Mile, Talladega Nights) also stars as Walter’s lawyer. Here is a clip. 

The Office (NBC) – Winter return. This show has been very hit or miss this season after Steve Carell’s departure. Mostly miss and I’m just hoping the they find their footing soon. On tonight’s episode, Oscar joins a trivia night contest, Andy decides to get the whole office involved. Meanwhile, Dwight visits Sabre headquarters to explore other job opportunities.

Person Of Interest (CBS) – Winter return. This show started off slow but it really picked up half way through the fall. They also put Taraji P. Henson in a lot more episodes so that also made the show even better. Tonight’s episode has Reese working the computer while Finch does the legwork with their latest POI, a building super who keeps too close an eye on his tenants. Meanwhile, Detective Carter may finally get her long-awaited glimpse into a case.

9:30/8:30c

Up All Night (NBC) – Winter return. This show is hilarious. I thought it was ok when it started but it got better as the season went on. On tonight’s episode, Regan’s competitive streak surfaces during a New Year’s Eve game night, much to Chris’ chagrin. Meanwhile, Kevin suspects that Ava may be ashamed of him; and Missy shows up with a surprising date.

10/9c

The Mentalist (CBS) – Winter return. Jane and the CBI team narrow down the long list of suspects after a high-end divorce attorney, with many enemies, is killed on his speed boat. Meanwhile, Jane is questioned by Agent Darcy about whether Red John was responsible for Panzer’s murder.

Show Premieres and Returns for Wednesday 1/11/12

Leave a comment

Lots premiering tonight. Many NBC shows are back as well as an award show and a couple of big dramas.

8/7c

One Tree Hill (CW) – Final Season Premiere. Haven’t really watched this show since Chad Michael Murray and Hilary Burton left but it was one of my guilty pleasures. Only a hand full of people knew I watched this show. Anyway this is the premiere of the ninth and final season of this show. So fans of this show get to watching. There are only going to be 13 episodes this season.

Whitney (NBC) – Winter return. New time slot. Many people hate this show. I don’t hate it but I don’t like it either. I don’t know why I watch this show because it really isn’t funny at all but I like Whitney Cummings and feel like I should support lol.

8:30/7:30c

Are You There, Chelsea? (NBC) – Series Premiere. I love Chelsea Handler and love the book this show is based on. That being said I don’t know how well this show is going to. Laura Prepon (That 70’s Show) plays a 20 something year old Chelsea Handler, while Handler herself plays her older sister, Sloane.

9/8c

The People’s Choice Awards (CBS) – The Big Bang Theory‘s Kaley Cuoco is the host for the night for this awards show which like its name says is voted on by the people or 13 year old children.

Harry’s Law (NBC) – Winter return. This show is an ok show. I like some of the cast members but it just seemed really boring so I stopped watching last season. Tonight’s episode has Adam and Cassie represent a troubled woman who exacts vigilante justice against men who abuse women by dressing up as Wonder Woman.

10/9c

Face Off (SyFy) – Season Premiere. Never watched this show before but I just discovered that such a show exist. I shouldn’t be surprised. There is a reality show for pretty much everything. This show has a bunch of prosthetic makeup artists compete to create prosthesis like those found in horror and sci-fi movies. The challenge for this episode is to re-imagine the characters from the movie, The Wizard of Oz.

The Challenge: Battle of The Exes Special (MTV) – YES!!!!!!!! I hate Real World now but I LOVE me a challenge. This time kind of like they did with Rivals at the last challenge, they have put exes together that were either serious relationship or just a hookup. There are some people on here that are pushing 40 now and were on the Real World and Road Rules in the late 90s and early 00s but I mean I wouldn’t work if I had no discernible talent and MTV kept sending me on paid vacations to exotic locales and giving me a bunch of money and prizes.

Law and Order: SVU (NBC) – Winter return. I haven’t watched at all this season. I just can’t get over the fact that Stabler (Chris Meloni) isn’t there anymore. I’ll catch it at some point. USA runs marathons of this show all the time. Tonight’s episode, the team tries to investigate the rape of an actress in an interactive theater production that happened on stage, that the audience believes is part of the show. They hit a dead-end in their investigation when they learn the show’s director gave the audience — including the assailant — masks to wear during the performance.

9/8c

Shameless (Showtime) – Season 2 Premiere. Yay this show is back. Season 1 started off kinda slow and I wasn’t sure I would like it but then it got good. Emmy Rossum (Phantom of The Opera) and William H. Macy (Lincoln Lawyer) are so great on this show. It picks up from where season 1 ended with Fiona (Rossum) moving on from Steve to a new guy, all while trying to take care of her siblings while their father, Frank (Macy) is up to his usual bingeing and just being a bum and mooch in general.

The Firm (NBC) – Series Premiere. This show is one of that I’m looking forward to. I love Josh Lucas. I have a soft spot for him from Sweet Home Alabama. Hopefully this will be good. I liked this book and the movie was pretty good so hopefully  NBC has come up with a hit.

Downton Abbey (PBS) – Season Premiere. The British series returns with England on the brink of war and the men of the house facing decisions about whether to fight for their country.

The Good Wife (CBS) – Winter return. YES!!!! It’s back. Can’t wait to see what is in store for everyone for the rest of the season. On tonight’s episode Lockhart & Gardner’s future is at stake when a couple whose divorce was overseen by the firm accuses them of encouraging the breakup for financial gain.

Desperate House Wives (ABC) – Winter return. Haven’t watched this show for about a season or two. Not sure if it’s any good still but many love it and it’s back and moving along towards the series finale in May.

Family Guy (FOX) – Winter return. Meg Griffin finally turns 18 with a surprise party that no one shows up to (poor Meg!).  Quagmire finds out about the monumental event, decides it’s finally time to make his move.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta (BRAVO) – Winter return. Peter and Cynthia are heading to counseling for their marital problems, NeNe and Marlo get together to clear the air about Charles. Phaedra drags Apollo to the funeral home to discuss the new business and Kandi has her first sessions in the studio with country singer, Jo Dee Messina.

10/9c

Pan Am (ABC) – Winter return. Fate deals a blow to Dean and Colette’s budding romance; Maggie falls hard for her congressman after slamming him in the Village Voice; Kate is haunted by her last spy mission. This show is ok. I can take it or leave it.

CSI: Miami (CBS) – Winter return. Horatio’s team deals with the most unique weapon they have ever seen.

Absolutely Fabulous (BBC America) – 20th Anniversary special. This is the first of three new episodes, someone who’s been “away” for a while returns to the Monsoon abode and with a new and slightly scary best friend; Bubble reminisces about the Royal Wedding.

House of Lies (Showtime) – Series Premiere. Don Cheadle (Ocean’s Eleven) in this new Showtime comedy as Marty Kaan, a management consultant who is juggling existing and prospective clients, a psycho/sex-crazed ex-wife and other assorted domestic issues. Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) make up  Marty’s team, while Richard Schiff (The West Wing) plays their boss. This has a good cast and Showtime usually has some great shows so hopefully this will be another .

Californication (Showtime) 10:30/9:30c  – Season Premiere. This season picks up a few years later, with Hank now looking to bolt New York after dumping another girlfriend. There he is offered a deal to write a movie. New people on this season are Meagan Good (Stomp the Yard), RZA (Wu-Tang Clan), and Scott Michael Foster (Greek).
