Premieres and Notables; March 3-9, 2008

I'm not sure if I mentioned that Everybody Hates Chris and Aliens in America returns with new episodes tonight (CW, 7 & 7:30 pm CST), and I know I didn't mention that Frisky Dingo finally returns ([adult swim]; 11:15).

Life is good...

The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom; TLC. 9 pm. Series Premiere.

My Name Is Earl begins its syndication run tonight on TBS at 9 and 9:30. This is mandatory viewing-- especially if you missed the beginning.

Tuesday, 3/4

New Amsterdam; FOX. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
John Amsterdam saved a Native American girl in the 1600's, and she put a spell on him that made him immortal until he found his true love. Now he's a cop (or PI, I'm kinda hazy on the details), who, nearly 400 years later, may have finally found her.

Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?; Style. 9 pm. Season premiere.

Real Housewives of New York City; Bravo. 10 pm. Series Premiere.
Just what the world was missing: a reality show about five real NYC women. One is a former actress working up the social ladder, another was a runner-up on Apprentice: Martha Stewart, and a third descended from French aristocracy. You know, real housewife types...

Reality series that follows three ob-gyns through their lives.

Destination Truth; Sci Fi. 9 pm. 2nd season premiere.

High School Reunion; TV Land. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
The class of 1987 from a Dallas school reconvenes for a two-week vacation where relationships and rivalries are renewed. Seriously? It's been 20 YEARS, people. There are reasons why reunions are a weekend long at most. Two weeks...?

Adventure Camp; Discovery Kids. 8 pm. season premiere.

Flip that Restaurant; TLC. 7 pm. Series premiere.
What is all this "flipping" bullcrap? Can't someone just buy something and live there/ run it?


Sunday, 3/9

Ax Men; History. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
A reality show looking at lumberjacks in Oregon.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians; E! 9 pm. 2nd season premiere.

And, after five very critically acclaimed seasons, HBO's The Wire ends its run with a 93 minute finale beginning at 8:00 pm. I can't wait to dig into the series. Hey, HBO-- how about lowering the ridiculous prices of the DVD sets?
