Premieres and Notables; September 13-19, 2010
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.
Firstly, one the mags missed last week:

Mommy and Daddy Song
A little girl makes her way into her parents' room, and, well, I'll let her tell the story:
I think the auto tune makes this a classic-- but sometimes tough to understand.
Here are the lyrics:
Daddy: Who--who you said was naked?
Daughter: Daddy and mommy
Daddy: And what happened?
Daughter:
Mommy said "Ah-Ah-Ahhhhh!"
Daddy said "Ah-Ah-Ahhhhh!"
And Daddy screamed like a girl, like "Oo Oo!"
Mommy screamed like a girl, like "Uh uh!"
Both of them screamed like
"Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ahhhhhhhh!
Daddy: You was in, you was in your room?
Daughter: Uh-huh.
Daddy: You was tryin' to sleep?
Daughter: Yeah, yeah!
Daddy: Who you hear?
Daughter: Daddy and Mommy!
Daddy: I bet my daughter knows my name.
What did you hear?
Daughter:
Mommy said "Ah-Ah-Ahhhhh!"
Daddy said "Ah-Ah-Ahhhhh!"
And Daddy screamed like a girl, like "Oo Oo!"
Mommy screamed like a girl, like "Uh uh!"
Both of them screamed like
"Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ahhhhhhhh!
Daddy and Mommy was naked
And you, you in trouble, you in trouble!
Both of yall!
You in trouble, you in trouble!
Both of yall!
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ahhhhhh

Danny Trejo on AOTS
Best answer to a question I've heard in a while; when he gets asked how it feels to be the lead in a movie after 200 roles (at 3:28):

Jeremy's Dragon and James Cameron
If the below AOTS interview didn't convince you Cameron's got a sense of humor, check this skit out:
AOTS With James Cameron
This is a great interview. Cameron could blow off shows like this-- but he's genuinely having fun with it.
Great respect for him for this.
Great respect for him for this.

Chest Bump Gone Wrong
Maybe it would have gone right if the dumbass wouldn't have used his shoulder for a chest bump.
Premieres and Notables; September 6-12, 2010
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.
