Today: I guess there's a new episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force at 10:45 ([adult swim]/Cartoon Network). There may have been a new one last week as well. All I've been watching of late on the network is Boondocks, so I'm sure I missed the ATHF bumps.
Monday, 1/28
State of the Union Address; ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, FNC, MSNBC, NBC, and PBS. 8 pm CST. Special.
What's so special about it? It's Darth's last one.
In Treatment; HBO. 8:30. Series Premiere.
HBO's ambitious new series may bite off more than it can chew. Five half-hour episodes a week over the next nine weeks. Gabriel Byrne plays a therapist who counsels a different patient each day from Mon-Thurs and then sees his own therapist on the Friday installment. Reviews I've read say the Friday shows (with Dianne Weist as Byrne's therapist) are the best, but I think I'll be intrigued by the Tuesday episodes as well (with Blair Underwood as the patient).
Cities of the Underworld; History. 8 pm. 2nd season premiere.
Ancient Discoveries; History. 9 pm. 3rd season premiere.
Michael Palin's New Europe; Travel. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
Palin visits former Soviet states.
Harlem Globetrotters Special; MNT. 7 pm. Special.
Footage from a current game interspersed with a look back at their eight decade existence.
Wednesday, 1/30
America's Ballroom Challenge; PBS. 7 pm (check local times). 3rd season premiere.
ABC airs last year's Lost finale (7-9), and I read somewhere that there will be extra bits added to this repeat; the way I understood the article, it was like a "Pop Up Video" episode. Wish I could find the article to verify, but I couldn't.
Thursday, 1/31
Lost; ABC. 8 pm. 4th season premiere.
After an hour-long recap shot at 7 pm, the most-anticipated scripted show of the spring returns with just eight episodes. I'm sure that's enough to get people into a frenzy and then pull the rug out again.
Eli Stone; ABC. 9:02 pm. Series Premiere.
Johnny Lee Miller stars as a lawyer who starts to see visions (most notable of George Michael) and believes he may be a prophet.
Friday, 2/1
Dinner For Five; IFC. 9:30. Special.
Jon Favreau's show that ended in 2005 gets a special episode with Vince Vaughn, Peter Billingsly, Justin Long, and Keir O'Donnell, and I get that sick feeling in my stomach that reminds me that Charter Communications doesn't have the damn channel on its programming. Booooooo!!!
Sunday, 2/3
Well, the whole day revolves around the SuperBowl, which FOX airs this year (pregame at 1 pm, kickoff sometime around 5:18 pm). I'll have to take some interest as Tom Petty is the featured performer of the halftime show.
After the SuperBowl is a special new episode of House; it wasn't the episode the producers wanted to air, but it's the one they have due to the strike.
And if you're not into football, but are into TV marathons, there's quite a few. A partial list:
Mythbusters; Discovery. 8 am; 18 hours
The Closer; TNT. 11 am; 12 hours
Puppy Bowl IV; Animal Planet. 2 pm; 3 hours (but repeats through 2 am)
Wedding Cake-themed episodes of Food Network shows. 2 pm. 6 hours
Rich Bride, Poor Bride; WE. 3 pm. 5 hours
Suburban Secrets; TRU TV. 5 pm. 10 hours
