With the Olympics over, expect most of the shows you'd normally watch to have new eps this week.
Monday, 3/1
The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love (ABC; 7 pm CST). Season Finale.
Hopefully that's the last time I have to type that stupid-ass name...
Ted gets another fling on How I Met Your Mother (CBS; 7:00 pm)-- this time, she's played by Carrie Underwood.
Rules of Engagement; CBS. 7:30 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Only about four months too late. I'm not a huge fan of this one, but they didn't need to air all those episodes of Accidentally on Purpose. We knew it was crap from the first ep.
I'm just sayin'...
The Haney Project; Golf. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.
This time, the project is Mr. Ray Romano.
Rob Zombie directs tonight's episode of CSI: Miami (CBS; 9 pm CST)-- and brings along guest stars Malcolm McDowell and Michael Madsen.
Tuesday, 3/2
Madman of the Sea; Animal Planet. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A fishing daredevil tries to land the big ones.
Southland; TNT. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
TNT burns off the six episodes filmed for NBC before they cancelled the show (to make room for Leno's 9 pm debacle-- bet they wish they had a "do over"). I didn't check it out last season, but the addition of Prison Break's Amaury Nolasco has me intriuged. --And because I know there's only gonna be six episodes, so it's not a big time commitment...
Parenthood; NBC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Let's see...
Killer cast (Craig T. Nelson, Lauren Graham, Bonnie Bedelia, Peter Krause, Monica Potter, Dax Shepard, and a few others you might recognize),
killer creators (Ron Howard and Brian Grazer),
and a premise built on a movie (the name of the title) I remember enjoying quite a bit.
Way more could go wrong than right (could be a Brothers & Sisters "crisis of the week" or a Private Practice "nobody gives a crap about your crises" show), but I think this show will buck the odds and end up to be pretty good.
Wednesday, 3/3
Ghost Hunters; Syfy. 8 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.
High School Reunion (TV Land; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
The Locator; WE. 9 pm CST. 4th Season Premiere.
Nip/Tuck (FX; 9 pm CST). Series Finale.
Kathy Griffin guest-stars on Law & Order: SVU (NBC; 9 pm CST). You've seen how guest-stars thrive on this franchise, right? May be worth checking out.
The Oprah Winfrey Oscar Special; ABC. 9:01 pm CST. Special.
Normally I wouldn't mention this because I don't care about Oprah-- and these shows are usually tripe. But I like the concept: Halle Berry interviews Penelope Cruz (and the hotness in that studio could melt the set), James Cameron interviews the cast of Avatar, and Michael Douglas and Glenn Close talk about Fatal Attraction. I like the out-of-the-box thinking here.
But I do wonder what Winfrey's gonna do... Sounds like she's got an easy gig.
Thursday, 3/4
Baby Halpert makes his/her first appearance on this very special, hour-long episode of The Office (NBC; 8 pm).
Burn Notice (USA; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
Some Real Housewives are coming and going tonight.
I don't care.
If you do, you may want to check out Bravo's sched.
Sorry-- typing about trash like that hurts my fingers.
Friday, 3/5
Who Do You Think You Are? NBC. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Celebrities dig into their family trees. Tonight, it's Sarah Jessica Parker's turn.
Do we really need this show? Don't we know more than enough about most of these celebs?
Sunday, 3/7
The Academy Awards air tonight on ABC at 7 pm CST.
Expect way too much pre-show nonsense by various networks earlier.
Like most awards shows, I probably won't be tuning in. I just don't give a shit about the fashion, and too many "robberies" have me disappointed in the awards themselves.
...And if someone gives a really great speech, I can on online to see it later.
Big Love (HBO; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
Wow-- a whole 9 episodes this year...
