Premieres and Notables; June 15-21, 2009

Monday, 6/15

Greek (ABC Family; 7 pm CST). Season Finale.


Tuesday, 6/16

Wedding Day; TNT. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
An upscripted look at real-life weddings.
Presumably on TNT because Lifetime's schedule is full.

The Lazy Environmentalist; Sundance. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
Host Josh Dorfman proves that going a little greener doesn't have to be difficult.
Sounds cool. Check it out.

HawthoRNe; TNT. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Jada Pinkett Smith stars as an RN (thus the oddly-capitalized title-- clever) who has problems of her own.
Please... Wanna see a nurse with problems, go check out Showtime's Nurse Jackie.

The Real Housewives of something or other (Bravo; 9 pm). Season Finale.
That's how much I care...

Saving Grace; TNT. 9 pm. Season Premiere.


Wednesday, 6/17

Survive This; Cartoon Network. 7:30. Series Premiere.
A new series where teenagers have to figure out how to survive different situations.
Note: this series is not animated. Boo to Cartoon Network for giving us this when there are hundreds of more appropriate networks. Maybe the network will pull a bullshit SciFi Channel deal and call itself KarTune, so people don't get the wrong idea about it.
[For those of you who don't remember my rant, "Sci Fi" is changing to the stupid-as-shit "SyFy" sometime this summer.]

Gordon Ramsay's F Word; BBC America. 8 pm. Season Premiere.
I'm almost tempted to watch to finally learn what his F Word is.
Maybe they didn't get the note that "F-Word" is now "fag", and "F-Bomb" is the Bad Boy of four letter words.

The Unusuals (ABC; 9:01). Series Finale.
Hmmm. Guess I can delete them all from my DVR...


Thursday, 6/18

Soundstage; PBS. 9 pm (check local listings). Season Premiere.
Jackson Browne opens the season.


Friday, 6/19

Jeffery and Cole Casserole; Logo. 10 pm. Series Premiere.
Another in a long line of sketch shows. This one revolves around viral videos.


Saturday, 6/20

ABC continues to be the best network for cancelled shows ever as it will now air the remaining four episodes of Eli Stone (9 pm) instead of making us buy/borrow the DVD sets later.
Tip of the hat to ABC-- again.


Sunday, 6/21

Merlin; NBC. 7 pm. Series Premiere.
A modern take on the classic story.
The subject is something I'm interested in, but the execution sounds terrible. Kind of a cross between a CW soap and a Sci Fi Channel original movie. Stay away.
