Premieres and notables 10/30- 11/05

Monday, 10/30

Remember, as I posted a few days ago: "The Slutty Pumpkin" epsiode of How I Met Your Mother airs tonight.

Schofield goes on the offensive tonight on Prison Break.

Friday Night Lights airs in Studio 60's spot tonight. The episode is supposed to reair tomorrow in its normal timeslot.


Tuesday, 10/31

House returns in it's normal 8 pm CST timeslot.

Standoff returns to a new timeslot (7pm). No need to remember the change; I'm sure it still sucks.

Wednesday, 11/1

Rich List, FOX. 8 pm. Series Premiere
Get ready for the gameshow glut...


Thursday, 11/2

Fat Friends; BBC America. 9 pm. Series Premiere
A British drama about the ups anddowns of the members of a dieting club. (I wonder if it'll be funier than FX's horrible "comedy" Starved.)

And showing that anyone can get a reality show:
Rob & Big; MTV. 9:30 pm. Series Premiere.
Skateboarder Rob Drydek and his bodyguard share a house. I have an in-law connection to the show, so I have to check it out. I'll let you know what I think.

'Til Death and Happy Hour return from the baseball hiatus. Catch 'em while you can. I doubt they are long for this world. (Because they suck; not because viewers "just don't get it").

Roseanne Barr guests on My Name Is Earl as a woman who once believed Earl was God. Seeing as how the celeb guests on this show have absolutely ruled so far, I expect Rosie to do the same.

Friday, 11/3

Chevy Chase does his guest-starring role on Law & Order as a celeb who gives a Mel Gibson-styled rant after he's arrested.

Outkast's Andre 3000 cocreation Class of 3000 begins on the Cartoon Network at 7 pm.

Two new History Channel shows premiere as well: The Lost Evidence (famous campaigns through combat footage, 8 pm) and Dog Fights (famous air-to-air battles via compter graphics, 9 pm).


Sunday, 11/5

FOX Sunday returns with The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror 17. American Dad, Family Guy, and (shudder) The War at Home also return with new eps.

And someone's supposed to bite it on Desperate Housewives in the storyline that begins tonight. Everything's pointing to Lynette, so it probably won't go that way (also Felicity Huffman should be begging to be off that show since they don't know what to do with the character). Also, the previews look like Susan's daughter (Julie?) could be the one, but that's pretty hardcore. May I recommend the psycho ex of Lynette's husband?
