Monday, 9/1
Labor Day just doesn't mean what it used to. The networks are not taking a day off this year.
Sid the Science Kid; PBS. 12:30 pm CST (check local listings). Series Premiere.
An animated show for preschoolers; a boy uses science to understand the world.
Gossip Girl; The CW. 7 pm. 2nd Season Premiere.
One Tree Hill; The CW. 8 pm. Season Premiere.
The Middleman (ABC Family; 9 pm). Season finale.
Raising The Bar; TNT. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Stephen Bochco's new ensemble drama about New York attorneys-- and a feisty judge. It's got Mark-Paul Gosselaar with a bad hairdo, Jane Kaczmarek, and what looks to be Gloria Reuben (Damn TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly Fall Premiere issues aren't out yet, and I'm not scouring the web to find the rest of the cast).
And I don't like dissing a show right off the bat, but I've read tepid reviews about the show at best.
And the mother lode:
Prison Break; FOX. 7 pm CST. 4th Season Premiere.
My favorite show three years ago has slipped and slipped the last two seasons...
But they may have learned their lessons.
Now a government agency recruits Schofield to go after The Company, which prompts the season storyline about a prison break-in. And Sara is back (I swear I saw "the out" they could use-- that it wasn't Sara's head in the box-- long before it was announced).
And I've heard rumors that three characters bite the dust before the end of the first hour of the two hour premiere.
Tuesday, 9/2
The View; ABC. 10 am. 12th Season Premiere.
Isn't this the show where Sherri Stringfield claimed she wasn't sure the Earth was round?
90210; The CW. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
This sequel is getting a gigantic push.
Wanna Bet (ABC; 8 pm). Season Finale.
Comic View: One Mic Stand; BET. 9 pm & 9:30. Season Premiere.
The Shield; FX. 9 pm. 7th Season Premiere.
The show that made FX ends its run this year. I haven't gotten caught up with it (I've just seen the first two seasons so far), but I know this is must see TV right here.
Wednesday, 9/3
Bones; FOX. 7 pm. Season Premiere.
Top Design; Bravo. 9 pm. Season Premiere.
America's Next Top Model; The CW. 7 pm. Season Premiere.
Sons of Anarchy; FX. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
I'm still a little hazy on the details, but I think the crux of it is there's a biker gang that runs guns that's led by Ron Perelman. The gang wants out of that business. But the mother figure (Katey Sagal) won't let that happen.
FX is looking for this show to take over the bad-ass, envelope-pushing slot that The Shield will be vacating, so I expect violence, bad language, and general bad behavior.
Thursday, 9/4
Kitchen Nightmares; FOX. 7 pm. Season Premiere.
Gong Show With Dave Attell (Comedy Central; 9 pm). Season Finale.
Live From Abbey Road (Sundance; 9 pm). Season Finale (featuring Brian Wilson, Teddy Thompson, and Martha Wainwright).
Make sure your Fantasy lineups are set (I'm hoping like Hell my Fantasy draft is over by then)-- The Redskins play the Giants in the season opener.
Friday, 9/5
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?; FOX. 7 pm. 3rd Season Premiere.
DogTown; National Geographic. 8 pm. 2nd Season Premiere.
This two-hour premiere looks at what happens to four of the dogs from Michael Vick's dogfighting ring. Sounds like a great story. Worth checking out.
Samurai Girl; ABC Family. 7 pm. 3-part mini-series.
Jamie Chung stars as the Japanese heiress from the teen novels in this series running the next three nights.
Swingtown (CBS; 9 pm). Season Finale. Hopeful or something? (I expect it to be series finale.)
Saturday, 9/6
Imagination Movers; Disney. 9 & 9:30 am. Series Premiere.
The preschooler-targeted rock band get their own show.
Cops; FOX. 7 pm. 21st Season Premiere.
Over two decades! Crazy.
America's Most Wanted; FOX. 8 pm. 22nd Season Premiere.
Ditto.
We Mean Business; A&E. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
Struggling business owners get help from experts.
The Locator; WE. 8 & 8:30 pm. Series Premiere.
A show following Troy Dunn, who specializes in bringing people together with their long-lost loved ones.
John Edwards Cross Country; WE. 9 pm. 3rd Season Premiere.
Sunday, 9/7
Amazing Wedding Cakes; WE. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
I think the title explains it...
Hot Pursuit; Tru TV. 9 & 9:30 pm. 5th Season Premiere.
True Blood; HBO. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
Six Feet Under's Alan Ball adapts Charlaine Harris' story about a telepathic woman who befriends a vampire. HBO is behind this show bigtime, and I've heard good things about it.
Entourage; HBO. 9 pm. 5th Season Premiere.
Vince & E's Medellin tanked at Cannes, so Vince and Turtle go into "hiding" while the gang tries to pull itself together.
