Premieres and Notables; September 15-21, 2008

Monday, 9/15



Dora the Explorer; Nickelodeon. 9:30 am. 5th season premiere.


My Family's Got GUTS; Nickelodeon. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
Nick brings the '90s show GUTS into the 21st Century-- and brings mom and dad along.


Weeds (Showtime; 9 pm). Season Finale
I can't wait to see how Nancy gets out of the shit-storm she got herself into last week. I predict a gun is pulled on her-- and we get a "to be continued in 2009".


The Closer (TNT; 8 pm) Mid-season Finale




Tuesday, 9/16


Biggest Loser: Families; NBC. 7 pm. Season Premiere.


House; FOX. 7 pm. 5th Season Premiere.


Wipeout (ABC; 7 pm). Season Finale.
This finale features outtakes from the season as well as some of the highs and lows of the Big Balls competition.
My most-rewound DVR TV moment of the summer? That dude whose legs split from under him and crushed his berries on the Big Balls. Now that's good TV.


Big Brother 10 (CBS; 8 pm). Season Finale.
Go, Dan! Go!

Whatever, Martha; Fine Living. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
Martha's daughter, Alexis, and Jennifer Koppleman-Hutt go Mystery Science Theater 3000 on '90s episodes of Martha Stewart Living. Sounds weird, but could be funny.




Wednesday, 9/17


My favorite line from last week was when Kenny talked to Eddie on 'Til Death (FOX; 8 pm). Eddie didn't want to go in the house, and Kenny found him outside the door and asked, "What happened? Lose your keys? Takin' a fart walk?"
I admit it: the show is below average-- JB Smoove rules...




Thursday, 9/18


Smallville; The CW. 7 pm. 8th Season Premiere.
Powerless Clark meets the Justice League.


Supernatural; The CW. 8 pm. Season Premiere.
Dean's back from Hell...

Burn Notice (USA; 9 pm). Mid-season Finale. Expected to be back in January.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia; FX. 9 & 9:30 pm. 4th season premiere.

It's not for everyone, but I love this show. The characters are despicable and the situations are outrageous, but it's funny. Really, really funny. Gas prices, meat, rehab, waterboarding, and a mysterious turd found in a bed are on tap. Speaking of "on tap", I can only imagine there will be lots and lots of drinking...

Friday, 9/19

Big Shots: Titans of the Tee; Speed. 7 pm. Series Premiere.

Golfing and NASCAR-- two great tastes that, apparently, go great together.

20/20; ABC. 9 pm. Season Premiere.

Sunday, 9/21

60th Primetime Emmy Awards; ABC. 7 pm. Special.

I love TV, but I haven't even watched the Emmys the past couple of years. This year, they seem to have gotten more of the correct choices than not. And we've got NPH in the running for Best Supporting Actor, so you gotta love that.
