The question of who Barney's father is rears its head again on How I Met Your Mother (CBS; 7 pm CST); guest-starring Wayne Brady, Francis Conroy, and Ben Vereen.
The Buried Life; MTV. 9:30 pm CST. Season Premiere.
I normally don't list MTV shows (because my fingers hurt after writing about garbage), but my friend says this one's pretty decent. I'll give him-- and the show-- the benefit of the doubt.
Tuesday, 9/28
No Ordinary Family; ABC. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A family take a trip and return with super powers.
I watched the pilot a month ago, and while I wasn't blown away, I was satisfied. It flirted with cliches, but it seems to want to have a different take on the genre. It's more of a family drama (with the powers as a nice distraction that I hope keeps some of the usual family-drama stuff at bay: job loss, sick/"messed up kid, cancer, etc), and not a crime-fighting show. The characters have normal problems-- that their powers can help with (and I'm sure they'll be a burden as well).
And you have to think stars Michael Chiklis and Julie Benz must have liked what they heard about the where the series wants to go if they signed-on...
Glee (Fox; 7 pm) has another artist-specific episode tonight. The so-so news is the artist is Britney Spears. But the great news is the main character this ep is Brittany, who probably needs some extra "love" since she spend the summer in the sewers (according to a throw-away-- but hilarious-- line in last week's premiere).
Baseball: The Tenth Inning; PBS. 7 pm CST (check local listings). 2-part series.
Ken Burns returns to the most-watched PBS series ever when he adds these four hours (tonight and tomorrow) where the 1994 original left off.
There's the 1994 strike, the steroid scandal, Cal Ripkin Jr.'s "Iron Man" record, and the Yankee's post-9/11 championship, among many more to cover.
