Monday, 7/7
Emeril Live!; Fine Living. 6 pm. Network change.
TCM Presents Elvis Mitchell: Under the Influence; TCM. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
And longest title goes to...
Okay, I'm looking forward to this. I don't follow Mitchell's work very much, but I have liked what I've seen. And the dude's got kick-ass hair.
He's also got one of Sydney Pollock's last interviews in this episode.
How'd That Get on My Plate?; Food. 8:30. Series Premiere.
Sunny Anderson looks at how things get from one place to another in the food world. First up: how honey gets from Hawaiian bee farms to cream soda.
Tuesday, 7/8
30 Days (FX; 9:05 pm). Season finale. Morgan said this 30 day episode living with the Navajoes was the one that has affected him the most.
Not Going Out; BBC America. 7:40 pm. 2nd season premiere.
Out is the American roommate and in is the U.K. Office's Sally Bretton (who played Donna the Intern). The show is medium-level quality for me, but it's the summer, and comedies are rare. It's worth watching.
AFI Life Achievement Award; USA. 8 pm. Special.
Are these only yearly? I swear I just typed the above not too long ago.
Anyway, Warren Beatty gets the award this time.
Hell's Kitchen (FOX; 7 pm). Season finale.
Wednesday, 7/9
Click and Clack's As the Wrench Turns; PBS. 7 pm. Season Premiere.
Scare Tactics; Sci Fi. 9 & 9:30 pm CST. Season Premiere.
New host: Tracy Morgan.
WTF........?
Koppel: The People's Republic of Capitalism; Discovery. 9 pm. 4-part series.
Ted Koppel looks at the changing culture in China.
Martin Lawrence Presents 1st Amendment Standup; Starz. 9 pm. 3rd season premiere.
Thursday, 7/10
Greatest American Dog; CBS. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
Twelve people and their dogs live together and vote each other out one by one. Uhmmm... Is Big Brother really the show they should be emulating?
Burn Notice; USA. 9 pm. 2nd season premiere.
Yet another show "on my list to watch", but I've heard it's really good. Check it out.
And: it's got Bruce Campbell. Everybody loves Bruce Campbell.
And2: it's also going to have Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer for parts of the season.
Reno 911 (Comedy Central; 9:30). Season finale.
Last Comic Standing (NBC; 7 pm). Season finale. For real? I've three eps behind, but I haven't even seen the real competition yet. Weeks and weeks of barely humorous auditions, a few weeks of the competition, and then done?
Friday, 7/11
Queen Bees; The N. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
Seven selfish girls live together, and, hopefully, will grow up a little bit after the experience. If this was MTV or CBS, I'd say "fat chance", but maybe because this show airs on The N, we may actually see progress.
Ashley Paige: Bikini or Bust; TLC. 9 & 9:30. Series Premiere.
Apparently Paige is a swimsuit designer, and this show follows her efforts to run her own business. I don't care, I just think the title of the show is stupidly funny.
The N's Student Body; The N. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
Laila Ali gives tough love and warm advice while motivating a dozen overweight teens to get fit.
Flashpoint; CBS. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
An elite team of police make the world safer. Stars Enrico Colantoni, Hugh Dillon, and Amy Jo Johnson. Looks like it may be okay. Don't know what to make of the Friday night timeslot, though...
Stargate Atlantis; Sci Fi. 9 pm. 5th season premiere.
Saturday, 7/12
I Want That! Kitchens; Fine Living. 8 am. Season Premiere.
Zula Patrol; NBC. 9:30 am. Season Premiere.
Sunday, 7/13
Big Brother 10; CBS. 7 pm. 10th season premiere.
This is usually my one big summer guilty pleasure, but this year I am not excited for it at all. Could be because we just had a Winter edition of the show, or it could be because the last two seasons were boring as Hell. Sell me on this, CBS, or it'll probably be the last summer I waste three hours of my week watching. And for those of you wondering: yes, there's a bound to be stupid "twist" as usual. CBS just isn't letting the cat out the bag yet (which lowers my expectations even more).
Earth: The Biography; National Geographic. 8 & 9 pm. 5-part series.
A look at how amazing nature can be. First up: volcanoes.
Generation Kill; 8 pm. HBO. 7-part Series Premiere.
The Wire creators' new series about an elite Marine team's missions in the early stages of the Iraq War. This will be a good show. Check it out. The review I read said it starts out slow, but by the second hour, it gets really good.
