Tuesday, 10/16
Frontline; PBS. 8 pm (check local listings). 26th Season premiere.
This episode is called "Cheney's Law" and looks at how Darth Cheney as worked to expand the powers of the presidency.
2 Dudes Catering; Food Network. 9:30 pm. Series premiere.
The title says it all. Does anyone else think these cable channels are just starting to phone it in? I mean, it's like they grab any Joe off the street and start filming them...
E:60; ESPN. 6 pm. Series Premiere.
An hour-long magazine devoted to sports, or, as the first four weeks focus on: the sports journalists at work.
Thursday, 10/18
Vive Laughlin; CBS. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
This U.S. import of a BBC series (Viva Blackpool, which was supposed to be good) follows a casino entrepreneur as he attempts to build a casino in Laughlin, NV and gets caught up in a murder mystery. Oh yeah-- some of the characters spontaneously burst into song. It pretty much has gained universal disdain from critics, and if Cavemen wasn't so bad, it'd be the most loathed new show of the year. If you want to catch it before it gets cancelled, watch the pilot and then follow it as it moves to its regular day and time (Sundays at 7 pm).
Friday, 10/19
The Next Great American Band; FOX. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
FOX dips into the American Idol well yet again. This time, they're looking for a band. Judges are: Sheila E., Johnny Rzeznik, and Ian Dickson. I expect a failure.
Celebrity Rides: Burt Builds a Bandit; DIY. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
Burt Reynolds joins a team of auto designers to restore some Trans Ams. Yeah, like I said "phoning it in".
If you're brave enough to try this drek, fully expect to have to take a Hollywood-esque "post-rape" shower while you're curled up in the fetal position after it.
I won't be watching it; I'd rather drink bleach...
I swear, TV executives are trying to make Americans even more stupid than they already are (I'm taking "average American" here; no one that actually reads this blog...).
Sunday, 10/21
Masterpiece Theatre; PBS. 8 pm (check local listings). 37th season premiere.
