There are so many premieres and finales, I'm just going to list most without much comment. If there's something interesting to note, I'll note it. If I have some sort of smart-ass comment, I'll make it. Otherwise, you get the name, network, and time.
And sorry about all the gaps in the post. I added a picture, and then the format got all messed up. I tried fixing it, but it didn't work (and I needed the picture; you'll understand why).
Monday, 9/8
The Bonnie Hunt Show; syndicated. 8 am CST. Series Premiere.
This morning chat fest has Robin Williams as a guest for the premiere.
The Doctors; syndicated. 8 am CST. Series Premiere.
A daily health show.
Judge Karen; syndicated. 8 am CST. Series Premiere.
Because there aren't enough courtroom shows...
The Ellen DeGeneres Show; syndicated. 9 am. Season Premiere.
Family Court with Judge Penny; syndicated. 11 am CST. Series premiere.
There are enough courtroom shows-- but at least this focuses on something specific: family issues.
Jeopardy; syndicated. 6 pm. 25th season premiere.
Deal or No Deal; NBC. 7 pm. Season Premiere.
Pull out the guest stars... Tonight, NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson shows up.
Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles; FOX. 7 pm. 2nd season premiere.
High School Musical: Get in the Picture (ABC; 7 pm). Season finale.
The Rachel Maddow Show; MSNBC. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
Date My Ex: Jo & Slade (Bravo; 9 pm). Season Finale.
Monday Night Football; ESPN. 6 pm & 9:15 pm
Vikings vs. Packers in Game One and Oakland vs. Denver in Game Two.
And Prison Break (FOX; 8 pm) got back on track in a big way last week. Check it out.
Tuesday, 9/9
Fringe; FOX. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
FOX is backing this J.J. Abrams show big-time. I've read good things about this X-Files-type show with a family tie.
Privileged; CW. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
A series based on the How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls novel. I guess there's a Gilmore Girls vibe, but it sounds like Gossip Girl. But I haven't heard anything like the good buzz Gossip Girl had about this one.
Hole in the Wall; FOX. 8:35 pm. Series Premiere.
Another wacky Japanese imported gameshow. This one is like a human Tetris where contestants contort their bodies to fit through a moving hole in the wall. It then moves to its regular timeslot of 7 pm on Thursday this week.
Here's a glimpse at the Japanese show:
Somebodies; BET. 9:30 pm. Series Premiere.
Uninspired college kids prepare for life after school. It's a sitcom, and it's based on a movie from 2006. I have no idea about it beyond that.
Rachel Zoe Project; Bravo. 10 pm. Series Premiere.
I guess she's a celeb stylist, so, of course, that means she needs a reality show. Go Bravo!
Shameless (Sundance; 3 am). Season Finale.
Wednesday, 9/10
The Next GAC Star (GAC; 8 pm). Season Finale.
'Til Death; FOX. 8 pm. 3rd Season Premiere.
No, this show isn't very good. But it has added the awesome JB Smoove as a cast regular (and the Woodcocks are gone, except for a few eps that were filmed last year). Check it out. Smoove's Kenny moves in with Eddie and Joy. Seriously, Smoove is worth watching this show for.
Do Not Disturb; FOX. 8:30. Series Premiere.
A workplace comedy about hotel-staff members. There was some early buzz because of the casting of Niecy Nash, but comedy Kryptonite Jerry O'Connell also got cast. Haven't heard anything good about the show since then. It'll probably last a while because FOX has nothing else to put behind 'Til Death (of course, this show could also kill any hope Death has of getting renewed).
Inside the NFL; HBO. 8 pm. 32nd season premiere.
One of the biggest crimes of last year (HBO canceled the show) might get rectified with Showtime picking it up. An almost entirely new cast also comes with the new network. Cris Collinsworth is the lone member from the HBO show, and James Brown, Phil Simms, and Warren Sapp join up. I like Brown, but he's no Bob Costas. I'll give the show a try, but I'm still depressed about the change.
Thursday, 9/11
Comics Without Borders; Showtime. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
A new stand-up comedy series that features comedians of various ethnic backgrounds.
Friday, 9/12
WordGirl; PBS Kids. 8 am (check local listings). Season Premiere.
Gym Teacher: The Movie; Nick. 7 pm. Movie.
Normally, I wouldn't mention this, but TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly were both pretty high on this family-friendly comedy starring Christopher Meloni and Amy Sedaris.
Don't Forget the Lyrics; FOX. 8 pm. 2nd season premiere.
There's only been one season so far?
Saturday, 9/13
Mad TV; FOX. 10 pm. 14th season premiere.
Saturday Night Live; NBC. 10:29 pm. 34th season premiere.
Talkshow With Spike Feresten; FOX. 11 pm. 3rd season premiere.
