Tuesday, 11-14
City of Men; Sundance. 8 pm, Season Premiere.
Third Season Premiere.
Show Me The Money; ABC. 8:31pm, Series Premiere.
A quiz-style game show hosted by William Shatner (could... there... be... a more perfect... game show host?).
3 Lbs; CBS. 9 pm, Series Premiere.
Smith's demise led to CBS fast-tracking this House-ian show about a neurosurgeon starring the great Stanley Tucci.
Everest: Beyond the Limit; Discovery. 9 pm, Series Premiere.
Six-part series about a 2006 ascent to the world's tallest peak.
Wednesday, 11/15
Dancing With the Stars (ABC, 7 pm), Laguna Beach (MTV, 9 pm), and I Pity The Fool (TV Land, 9 pm) all have their season finales.
Medium; NBC. 8 pm, Season Premiere.
The "little show that could" comes soon after Kidnapped's demise in a 2-hour premiere.
Day Break; ABC. 8 pm, Series Premiere.
Taye Diggs stars in this new series about an LAPD cop who gets framed for murder-- and keeps reliving the day over and over. Sounds cool, and the promos for it have rocked, but the only "review" I read of it said it was "silly". I'm still trying it.
Thursday, 11/16
My Name is Earl sees Randy munching on the wrong thing-- and then start seeing the others as "Claymation-esque" characters. Christian Slater guest stars.
And all of NBC's sitcoms are "supersized", so watch out for weird start and end times (Earl: 7pm- 7:36; Office: 7:36-8:20; 30 Rock: 8:20-9:01).
Friday, 11/17
Foxworthy's Big Night Out, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders: Making the Team, Ice-T's Rap School, Air: America's Investigative Reports, and Real Time With Bill Maher all have their season finales tonight. The only one I'll be sad about is Real Time.
Saturday, 11/18
After a few years of not having one, Comic Relief returns, this time in aid of Hurricane Katrina survivors. HBO and TBS are simultaneously airing the benefit (I'll be watching HBO-- just in case someone "goes blue"). 8 pm.
Sunday, 11/19
Reba, CW. 6 pm and 6:30 pm, Season Premiere.
Reba comes back because of a huge deal The WB made before combining with UPN to make the CW. See, it would cost a lot more for CW to dump the show, so they brought it back. In a sh**ty timeslot. This is a classic example of "burning off" episodes. Two in a row this week, and then paired up with Reba repeats in subsequent weeks.
And, finally, just because I had to mention it. I read in this week's TV Guide that Flava Flav is expecting his seventh child in January. The unidentified woman is not a winner-- or one of the contestants-- of his show Flavor of Love.
Just wanted to mention what a classy guy Flav is, supposedly looking for love on a national (albiet cable) TV show, while hittin' it on the side. Maybe he should hollow out the clock on his neck and fill it with condoms.
Just a thought.
Or maybe a checkbook. I'd imagine child support, even for a washed up rapper, would be costly. Especially when he's got six others running around...
