Jan 11-14 Prems, Part 3

Thursday, 1/11

Nashville Star; USA. 9 pm. Season premiere.
The fifth season begins.


Friday, 1/12

Comedy Central Presents; Comedy Central. 9 & 9:30. Season Premiere.
Marc Maron and John Heffron are showcased.

Cory in the House; Disney. 8:30. Series Premiere.
My kids aren't old enough for these "tween" shows, but Disney has promoting the Hell out of it for a month now. Must be a big deal.

Giada's Weekend Getaways; Food Network. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
Giada DeLaurentis and a show about great restaurants. I don't get it. The pilot is in Seattle.

Cowboy U: Colorado; CMT. 7 pm. Season Premiere.
Sixth season? Never heard of it.


Saturday, 1/13

Louis C.K.: Shameless; HBO. 9 pm. Special.
I hope this stand-up show is better than his sitcom.

Grendel; Sci Fi. 8 pm. Movie.
The oldest story in human history. Every heroic book, movie, play, show, etc comes from this one.
And SciFi is doing it.
I have a bad feeling about this...


Sunday 1/14

24; FOX. 7pm. Season Premiere.
It may not be as big as Idol, but this show is huge for FOX. The sixth season airs a 2-hr block tonight and Monday before falling into its 8 pm slot-- right after Prison Break. Even though I haven't watched the series yet (I've got the past five seasons on tape), I know this is Must See.

Rome; HBO. 8 pm. Season Premiere.
The second, and final, season begins here. Must See.

Extras; HBO. 9 pm. Season Premiere.
Ricky Gervais starts Round 2 of the show that makes him look even more pathetic than The Office did. I saw a killer clip of of the show with David Bowie singing a song about the Gervais character called "Pathetic Little Fat Man" that made me laugh so hard I nearly cried. Must see.

Living With the Kombai Tribe: The Adventures of Mark and Olly; Travel. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
I have no idea...

Crossing Jordan; NBC. 9 pm. Season premiere.

Star Trek Tech; History. 9 pm. Special.
I'm not sure what it's about, either.
