Next week is the big one. Use this week to empty out your DVR...
Firstly, one the mags missed last week:
Sunday, 9/12
The Venture Brothers; adult swim. Fall return.
Not technically a new season-- but it's been nine months since the last new episode...
It's a fun show that can sometimes be bat-shit crazy.
Monday, 9/13
Bachelor Pad (ABC; 7 pm CST). Season Finale.
90210; The CW. 7 pm CST. 3rd Season Premiere.
Gossip Girl; The CW. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Lie to Me (Fox; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
Rizzoli & Isles (TNT; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
Dating in the Dark (ABC; 9:01 pm CST). Season Finale.
Tuesday, 9/14
One Tree Hill; The CW. 7 pm CST. 8th Season Premiere.
Minute to Win It (NBC; 7 pm CST). Season Finale.
Life Unexpected; The CW. 8 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
This turned out to be a better show than I expected. The lead actors are pretty good. Now, let's hope the plotting got better (at least doesn't fall into the "Lux gets mad at one parent and moves in with the other, and the parent has to redeem him/herself, and everyone hugs in the end".)
Wipeout (ABC; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
Parenthood; NBC. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Another show with good lead actors (okay-- great lead actors) that could use some more varied plotting. I want this show to get better because I already saw a great cast show called Brothers and Sisters get so ridiculously "dramatic" (also known as "Emmy bait"), I dumped it after a season.
Wednesday, 9/15
Survivor: Nicaragua; CBS. 7 pm CST. 21st Cycle Premiere.
America's Got Talent (NBC; 7 pm CST). Season Finale.
Big Brother 12 (CBS; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
God, I hate myself for watching yet another entire season of this show...
And why does CBS think they need a full two hours to pick a winner?
Outlaw; NBC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Jimmy Smits stars as a "bad boy" judge who quits to become a crusading lawyer.
I dig that there's another show that will push some buttons on social/political issues with Boston Legal off the air, but I haven't heard much good about it (other than Smits, of course).
BTW: this pilot episode repeats this Friday-- and then moves into Friday at 9 pm next week.
Thursday, 9/16
The Apprentice; NBC. 8 pm CST. 10th Cycle Premiere.
A non-"celebrity" version for a change...
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia; FX. 9 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.
One of the most-"wrong" shows on TV.
And also one of the most hilarious.
The League; FX. 9:30 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Friday, 9/17
Star Wars: The Clone Wars; Cartoon Network. 8 pm CST. 3rd Season Premiere.
I'll admit: I haven't sat down to watch many episodes from beginning to end, but the bits and pieces I've seen are mighty good; much better than expected...
Saturday, 9/18
Being Human (BBC America; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
Sunday, 9/19
Boardwalk Empire; HBO. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Exec produced by Terence Winter (one of The Sopranos' writers-producers) and Martin Scorsese (who also directed the pilot ep) and starring Steve Buscemi, who plays a treasurer by day and a bootlegger by night (the series is set in the Prohibition era).
HBO dropped a ton of coin on the show, so they're solidly behind it.
Should be one of the best shows of the season.
The Gates (ABC; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
