Monday, 9/14
One Tree Hill; The CW. 7 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Gossip Girl; The CW. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.
The Jay Leno Show; NBC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
NBC's biggest gamble this year-- and likely to be the most profitable. Jay Leno brings some of his Tonight Show bits to prime time, and this will be more comedy than interview show.
Tuesday, 9/15
The Biggest Loser; NBC. 7 pm CST. Season Premiere.
More to Love (FOX; 7 pm). Season Finale.
I'd go to Hell if I mentioned this 2-hour finale was needed because the contestants are big-boned, so I won't mention that.
Shaq Vs. (ABC; 8 pm). Season Finale.
Wednesday, 9/16
America's Got Talent (NBC; 7 pm). Season Finale.
The Beautiful Life; The CW. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
I want to reiterate that you should be checking out Glee (FOX; 8 pm). Last week's season premiere was insanely good. Jane Lynch is absolutely perfect as the villain of the show, and I don't know if I can ever hear Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" again without thinking of one of the "wrongest" TV performances I've ever seen.
Thursday, 9/17
Survivor: Samoa; CBS. 7 pm. Season Premiere.
Bone; FOX. 7 pm. 5th Season Premiere.
Saturday Night Live: Thursday; NBC. 7 pm. 19th Season Premiere.
Because watering-down an already weak franchise is always a great idea...
Parks & Recreation; NBC. 7:30 pm. 2nd Season Premiere.
Here's hoping they try something different this year and be funny...
Fringe; FOX. 8 pm. 2nd Season Premiere.
The Office; NBC. 8 pm. 6th Season Premiere.
Recommended.
Community; NBC. 8:31 pm. Series Premiere.
NBC has been hyping this Joel McHale (and Chevy Chase)- led comedy pretty heavily. The preview scenes I've watched look pretty good. I think it's safe to say it's recommended.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia; FX. 9 pm CST. 5th Season Premiere.
Speaking of "wrong" TV, here's the wrongest show airing on basic cable. Recommended.
Friday, 9/18
Guiding Light (CBS; 2 pm). Series Finale.
I usually stay away from mentioning daytime soaps, but I have to tip my hat to the ending of a 72 year run. This show ran so long, it predated television and actually began as a radio show. Impressive achievement. I never watched a second of the show, but the TV landscape will be a little diminished next week without it.
Sunday, 9/20
I have avoided The Emmys (CBS; 7 pm) the past few years, but this year's host is Neil Patrick Harris, so I'll probably tune in to what may possibly be... wait for it... Legendary.
Curb Your Enthusiasm; HBO. 8 pm. Season Premiere.
The Seinfeld reunion storyline happens a little later in the season, but I can't wait just for the return of this show, which has been away for too long. Recommended.
Bored to Death; HBO. 8:30 pm. Series Premiere.
Jason Schwartzman stars as a writer who's having problems getting through his second novel, so he lives out his fantasies as a private detective. Co-starring Ted Danson and Zach Galifianakis.
