Premieres and Notables; February 14-20, 2011
Monday, 2/14
Jake and the Never Land Pirates; Disney Channel. 7:30 am CST. Series Premiere.
Kind of a take-off from Peter Pan. A group of kids get together to fight Captain Hook.
Mad Love; CBS, 7:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Jason Biggs and Sarah Chalke star as a couple falling in love: to the dismay of their BFFs (Tyler Labine and Judy Greer), who can't stand each other.
A cast this great is tough to utilize properly, and the premise is very similar to How I Met Your Mother's (which would be a good thing-- except there already is a HIMYM), but I'll give it a shot.

How Kevin & Candice Get to Work
Kevin and Candice go to work on Attack of the Show.

Premieres and Notables; February 7-13, 2011
Monday, 2/7
The Electric Company; PBS. check local listings. 3rd Season Premiere.
Good Charlotte stops by.
Power Rangers Samurai; Nickelodeon. 7 pm CST. Season Premiere.
The Chicago Code; Fox. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
The Shield creator Shawn Ryan brings us this series about police and corruption in Chicago.
The pedigree of this show makes it worth checking out.
Tuesday, 2/5
Only in America With Larry the Cable Guy; History. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Larry goes around and learns about the people of the country by visiting etiquette lessons and frog-jumping contests.
Traffic Light; Fox. 8:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
All I know about it is it's a comedy about five friends and the differences in their stages of their love lives (don't we have a few new shows this year with that exact premise?).
Top Shot; History. 9 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Wednesday, 2/9
Live to Dance (CBS; 7 pm CST). Season Finale.
Human Target (Fox; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.
Mr. Sunshine; ABC. 8:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Matthew Perry stars as a sports-arena manager in this new comedy.
I saw the first 20 minutes or so (pretty much the whole ep) last Spring when it was unveiled during Upfront Week, and it didn't look too bad.
Friday Night Lights (DirecTV 101; 8 pm CST). Series Finale.
The little-show-that-could gets a proper send-off.
Those us with out DirecTV will have to wait a few weeks for the DVDs to come out-- or when NBC airs them.
Justified; FX. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
After last season's finale, Raylan has some 'splainin' to do about the dead bodies he was responsible for. But don't expect an hour of his boss yelling at him because this season's arc begins tonight when he runs into a local crime family who sell the Demon Weed.
This was one of the best shows that aired last year-- and it's not all that tough to jump into. So if you missed last season, don't let that keep you from this one. The writing is spectacular and the actors are wonderful. Highly recommended.
Thursday, 2/10
Ace of Cakes (Food Network; 9 pm CST). Series Finale.
Friday, 2/11
Transformers Prime; The Hub. 5:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Another attempt to bring the Transformers to the small screen to capture the magic of the '80s.
Friday, 2/11
Auction Packed; NatGeo. 8 pm CST. Series Debut.
Uhmmmm. A reality show about a family of auctioneers.
I just write what I see on paper, people. I don't make this stuff up.
