Premieres and Notables; July 27-August 2, 2009

Tuesday, 7/28

More to Love; FOX. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A larger guy has his choice of a bunch of larger women. I like the idea that there are more than just skinny idiots out there trying to make a name for themselves on a dating show.
And because it's on FOX, we can be assured it'll be a classy affair.


Wednesday, 7/29

And because it's kind of a light week, let me mention this great short that TCM will be showing. Set your DVR, watch it live, or record it to DVD; however you see it, it's worth it.

County Hospital; TCM. 6:40-7:00 pm. Movie Short.
Brilliant, insane, hilarious 19 minutes of chaos when Stan visits Ollie in the hospital.
"Hard boiled eggs and nuts."


Thursday, 7/30

She's Got the Look (TVLand; 8 pm). Season Finale.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta; Bravo. 9 pm. Season Premiere.
Bravo is coming dangerously close to being on my "no mention" list (with MTV, VH1, and CMT) with the continuation of this crap.


Sunday, 8/2

Defying Gravity; ABC. 8 pm. Series Premiere.
Like Battlestar Galactica, this sci fi show is not meant to be be "too sci fi". The focus will not be on aliens and explosions, but on personal relationships and romance (as if sci fi can't have them both...). Vets from Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy created this series starring Ron Livingstone that follows a group of astronauts on a six-year mission to explore seven planets. I don't know if I'm going to actually watch or not, but it does sound interesting.
