Here we go: the minor nets (CW) and cable's gearing-up for the new season; trying to get ahead of the major networks, which will be starting in about two weeks.
And I'll probably regret saying this, but I'm also going to try to post trailers of the new shows shortly after these premieres posts. I tried embedding them into the premieres posts in the past, but that messed up the formatting of the posts. So, I'll give it a shot (assuming they're on YouTube, which is one of the only websites that make it easy to post to a blog in this Facebook world).
Monday, 9/6
Mad; Cartoon Network. 7:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
After almost fifty years, the humor magazine gets an animated show.
I don't have high hopes for this, but I think it'll end up being more Mad-related than Mad TV ended up being. (Not knocking Mad TV, which consistently thrashed SNL when it came to actually being funny...)
Hoarders; A&E. 8 & 9 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Aftermath (Biography; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
Thintervention; Bravo. 9:15 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Work Out's Jackie Warner whips eight contestants into shape.
Tuesday, 9/7
360 Sessions; IFC. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Musicians discuss how their childhoods influenced their careers.
White Collar (USA; 8 pm CST). Mid-season Finale.
Sons of Anarchy; FX. 9 pm CST. 3rd Season Premiere.
Louie (FX; 10:30 pm CST). Season Finale.
Wednesday, 9/8
America's Next Top Model; The CW. 7 pm CST. 15th Cycle Premiere.
And by the end, we'll have yet another top model we'll never hear from again...
Hellcats; The CW. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A cheerleading drama with comedic elements.
Inside the NFL; Showtime. 8 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Psych (USA; 9 pm CST). Mid-season Finale.
Terriers; FX. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Disgraced former cop Hank (Donal Logue) and reformed thief Britt (Michael Raymond-James) team-up to form an (unlicensed) private investigation firm.
I don't know much about it. FX has been a little tight on info. I can say I'll go anywhere Logue goes; his work on Grounded For Life and Knights of Prosperity has earned that from me. I have to give props to creator Ted Griffin (best known as the writer of Ocean's 11), but co-execproducer Shawn Ryan (creator of The Shield) is also a "must-see" type of guy.
It may be a little "off", being on FX and all, but it should be on your radar to at least give a try to the first few episodes.
Thursday, 9/9
The Vampire Diaries; The CW. 7 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Nikita; The CW. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Maggie Q stars as an assassin trained by a secret government agency and is now on the run from them.
I didn't watch the cult hit series or movie Le Femme Nikita this is based on, but there is quote a bit of buzz surrounding this new series because of them.
Worth checking out.
Destination Truth; Syfy. 8 pm CST. 4th Season Premiere.
Rookie Blue (ABC; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
And it got picked up for another season...
Beast Legends; Syfy. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Syfy tries to all History (Channel) on legendary monsters.
Friday, 9/10
DocTalk; Documentary. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
People talk documentaries on a channel I've never heard of.
Eureka (Syfy; 8 pm CST). Mid-season Finale.
Martin Lawrence Presents 1st Amendment Stand-up; Starz. 10 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Saturday, 9/11
COPS; Fox. 7 pm CST. Season Premiere.
I don't know what season it is, but I do know this will be episode number 800.
Eight-hundred!
That's a lot of shirtless rednecks...
Sunday, 9/12
MTV Video Awards; MTV. 8 pm CST. Special.
Normally I wouldn't mention this-- even if I didn't find it hilarious that MTV still airs an awards show about videos it doesn't air anymore-- but I like host Chelsea Handler, so I'll give her a "what's up".
True Blood (HBO; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
My Boys (TBS; 9 & 9:30 pm CST). Season Finale.
Hung (HBO; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
Entourage (HBO; 9:30 pm CST). Season Finale.
