Lots of comings and goings this week, and not much time, so I'll split the week up in my posts.
Monday, 6/4
A late-notice "marathon" as BBC America airs six episodes of Bromwell High from 2-5 am. It's quality goes up and down, but bad-ass Keisha is pretty funny (think a "smart Cartman", but is even more self-centered).
The Riches ends its debut season (FX, 9 pm CST).
Julia Louis-Dreyfuss is on Inside the Actor's Studio (Bravo, 7 pm). Could be good stuff.
The 5ive; BET. 6:30. Series Premiere.
A weekly Top 5 of what's cool. Funny it's on BET. Remember the SNL skits Chris Rock did as Nat X where he's say he could only do a Top Five because The Man wouldn't let him do ten?
Creature Comforts; CBS. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
This British import takes voices of everyday people talking about everyday things, and marries them with Aardman (of the brilliant Wallace and Gromit films) animations. The British show is good, so I hope CBS doesn't screw this one up.
Hell's Kitchen; FOX. 8 pm. Season Premiere.
The third season begins. Who would have imagined it'd last this long?
World Series of Blackjack IV; GSN. 10 pm. Season Premiere.
Who would have guessed that Orel Hershiser, Penn Jillette, Shannon Elizabeth, and Caroline Rhea were so good, they'd be the World Series of Blackjack?
Tuesday, 6/5
The Loop; FOX. 8:30 pm. Season Premiere.
Now I thought this show got picked up last year. I guess we know what happened to it. Enjoy it while you can as star Bret Harrison already has a new series, Reapers, in the Fall. But I like Eric Christian Olsen, and Mimi Rogers and Phillip Baker Hall are great in this show.
The Shield (FX, 9 pm) ends its sixth and penultimate season.
MI-5; BBC America. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
Sort of series premiere... This well-reviewed series aired on A&E already (where it got treated like dirt), but BBC America is airing it from the beginning tonight. It's a British spy drama, and it's supposed to be good (I didn't get on board early enough when A&E aired it, but I won't miss it this time).
Animal Battlegrounds; Animal Planet. 8:30. Series Premiere.
A show looking at how animals defend their turf.
America's Got Talent; NBC. 8 pm. Season Premiere.
America does have talent-- you just won't find it here...
Wednesday, 6/6
Weeks (months?) ago, I told you to record the first three episodes of the BBC America mini-series Bodies because it's freakin' brilliant (dark, painful-- but brilliant). Well, the net is finally showing the remaining three episodes from 2-5 am.
House of Payne; TBS. 8 & 8:30. Series Premiere.
Tyler Perry created this series about a firefighter and his family (and continues to milk his Madea character with her appearance in the pilot). Reviews were not kind to this show...
Footballers Wive$; BBC America. 7 pm. Season premiere.
The fifth, and final, season if this trashy soap begins.
American Inventor; ABC. 8 pm. Season premiere.
I got nothin'...
Destination Truth; Sci Fi. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
The network goes to the "investigate unexplained phenomena" again.
