Didn't get my Entertainment Weekly today, so I may have to make an addendum later...
Monday, 1/26
Olivia; Nickelodeon. 10:30 am CST. Series Premiere.
All I know is it's about a pig.
Superstars of Dance (NBC; 7 pm). Season Finale.
American Experience; PBS. 8 pm (check local listings). Season Premiere.
The Closer; TNT. 8 pm. Mid-season return.
...For all of five episodes.
Trust Me; TNT. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
Ad-men best friends Eric McCormack and Tom Cavanagh have to deal with the fact that one gets a promotion and the other doesn't.
I believe Cavanagh is one of the most engaging TV actors out there, so I'll be checking it out.
Tuesday, 1/27
Baldwin Hills; BET. 9 pm. Season Premiere.
Wednesday, 1/28
Life on Mars; ABC. 9 pm. Mid-season return/new day.
Thursday, 1/29
Hell's Kitchen; FOX. 8 pm. 5th Season Premiere.
Toughest Cowboy; 10 pm. Series Premiere.
Yet another Mark Burnett-produced reality competition...
Sunday, 2/1
Puppy Bowl V; Animal Planet. 2 pm. Special.
The puppies are back to give dog lovers and Super Bowl haters something else to watch.
Super Bowl; NBC. 5 pm. Special.
The biggest (American) sporting event of the year-- and it finally features a team I'm interested in. The Cinderella-story Arizona Cardinals face the legendary Pittsburgh Steelers.
And we all know that people who buy commercials spend stupid amounts of money on their ads as well as on the ad time, so that has become its own event within the event. --And for those of you who like movies, this is often the first look at the big action flicks of this year (remember the inertia Iron Man received after it's Super Bowl ad last year).
The Office; NBC. 9:30 pm (1 hr ep to air after Super Bowl, so if you're recording it, "go long").
[Seriously, record it to at least 11:30 in case the game goes into overtime.]
So, The Office gets coveted the post-Super Bowl slot.
What's on tap?
Jack Black and Jessica Alba in an interesting cameo appearance.
A young man falls for an older woman (played by Cloris Leachman).
Dwight leads a fire-training seminar.
And Michael is the "guest of honor" in an office roast.
