Premieres and Notables; March 15-21, 2010

Monday, 3/15

Zeke & Luther; Disney XD. 6:30 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.

Secret Diary of a Call Girl (Showime; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.


Tuesday, 3/16

Justified; FX. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Timothy Olyphant plays a deputy who gets reassigned to the hometown he ran away from.
Let's count the ways this show is going to kick all kinds of ass:
1.  Olyphant plays A). a lawman with B). a stetson.  It worked for him on Deadwood.
2.  The Shield's Walton Goggins plays one of Olyphant's main antogonists, a neo-Nazi who likes blowing stuff up. 
3.  This series is based on an Elmore Leonard novella.  Leonard is also a producer for this show.
4.  Executive producer Graham Yost was also creator of Boomtown; one of the best network series of the past ten years.
5.  It's on FX.  Expect this to be more grown-up than the procedurals you see on the Big Four networks..


Wednesday, 3/17

Scrubs (ABC; 7 pm CST).  Season Finale.
Considering how well the rest of the ABC comedy line-up has gone over this season-- and how poorly this season of Scrubs has gone over-- it may be safe to predict this is a series finale (which would be the third this show has had the past 3-4 years).

Gary Unmarried (CBS; 7:30 pm CST). Season Finale.
This show hasn't gotten the word if it's coming back in the Fall, either...
