The People's Choice Awards air on CBS at 8 pm (CST). Sometimes the people choose wisely, but mostly they don't.
Spike airs the Quentin Tarantino CSI 2-parter from 8-10. I haven't watched the show the last two years, but this episode kept me watching for a while. You can see Tarantino's handprints all over the epsiode (and that's a good thing).
Wednesday, 1/10
The Wire; BET. 8 pm. Syndication Premiere.
BET (a channel I don't get-- and am now mad about that fact) airs the show nearly every critic has said is the best on TV.
The Sopranos; A&E. 8 pm. Syndication Premiere.
A&E goes for some actual quality after airing the garbage it has for years by showing not only one of the best shows ever, but also one of the most groundbreaking. I'll admit, I wasn't blown away by it when I watched it for the first time last summer, but its influence is undeniable. Without it, there would be no Deadwood, Rescue Me, or The Shield. This is highly recommended viewing.
And now for something of much lesser quality:
Armed & Famous; CBS. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
"Celebs" like La Toya Jackson, Jack Osbourne, and Erik Estrada get trained as cops in Muncie, IN.
Seriously.
Tease; Oxygen. 8 pm. Series Premiere
Reality competition among hairstylists. Oh you know this has to be good.
Okay, back to actual "good":
China From the Inside; PBS. 8 & 9 pm (check local listings). Series Premiere.
The history of China-- from the Chinese residents' perspective.
More later...
