Sorry for the lateness (again). Time flies…
Monday, 10/2
The Bachelor: Rome; ABC, 8 pm CST (2 hr) Season Premiere.
A royal bachelor this time. Thirty-four year old Prince Lorenzo Borghese from Italy (who’s lived in the U.S. since he was five—does that count?).
Tuesday, 10/3
Friday Night Lights; NBC, 7 pm. Series Premiere
One of the most critically acclaimed new shows this season. Peter Berg comes back to tell the story of the Texas High School football team that must win at all costs (Berg wrote the screenplay based on Buzz Bissinger’s book and directed the film as well as the pilot for the TV series). The movie was great, and while the TV series is missing Billy Bob Thornton and Lucas Black, it will have the underrated Kyle Chandler as the coach. Must Watch.
Veronica Mars; CW, 8 pm. Season Premiere
I’ve only watched the first six episodes of Season One, but fans of this show are incredibly devoted. You may want to check out this third season.
The Street; BBC America, 9 pm. Series Premiere
From TV Guide: “This drama focuses on the interlocking lives of a group of working-class neighbors in northern England.” That’s all I know. But seeing as how BBC America has some of the best shows on cable, it’s probably worth checking out.
Wednesday, 10/4
Lost; ABC, 8 pm. Season Premiere
The third season of a show I really need to start watching (I’ve got both season in my basement, just waiting to be watched).
The Nine; ABC, 9 pm. Series Premiere
Another critically-acclaimed new show with a killer cast. This series is about a group of nine people who survive a 52-hour bank robbery standoff, and how their lives change. Sounds boring, but I haven’t heard a bad thing about this show yet. Must Watch.
South Park; Comedy Central, 9 pm. Season Premiere
The best satire on TV right now, hands down, starts its tenth season.
Freak Show; Comedy Central, 9:30 pm. Series Premiere
David Cross cocreated this animated series about carnival freaks who work for the Pentagon.
Thursday, 10/5
This Old House Hour; PBS, 7 pm. Season Premiere
Joan Cusack’s Local Flavor; Travel, 8 pm. Series (?) Premiere
The funny-woman finds herself in France
Drawn Together; Comedy Central, 9:30 pm. Season Premiere
Somehow this show got a third season.
White Boyz in the Hood; Showtime, 10 pm. Series Premiere.
No idea what it’s about.
Friday, 10/6
Trading Spouses; FOX, 8 pm. Season Premiere
Hey! Look at that! Another series that somehow got a third season…
Battlestar Galactica; Sci Fi Channel; 8 pm. 2 hour Season Premiere
The other great show I just haven’t watched yet. Don’t miss out on what many, many critics call one of the best shows on TV.
Saturday, 10/7
Saturday Night Live has Jamie Pressly hosting. Normally, I wouldn’t mention it, but I haven’t watched SNL’s premiere from last night yet, so there’s a glimmer of hope the show may actually be good.
Sunday, 10/8
No premieres—thank God.
