Thursday, 3/1

Awake; NBC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Jason Isaacs stars as a detective who wakes after a car crash and finds he's living in two realities: one in which his wife died, and another in which his son died.  He doesn't know which is real and which is a dream.
I caught this pilot last night (OnDemand, Hulu, and iTunes all are offering it), and it's really good.  I'm not sure if the premise will hold up week after week, but I'm completely willing to watch to see how it does.
And, if the plot or the premise hadn't hooked me, Isaacs had a fantastic scene near the end where he explained how he's going to process not knowing what's real and what's a dream with this therapist. It showed, right there, what kind of man we're going to be watching.


Saturday, 3/3

DC Nation; Cartoon Network. 9 am CST. Programming block premiere.
The Green Lantern animated series and the return of Young Justice anchor this block, but scattered throughout will also be animated shorts and DC Universe news.

Sunday, 3/4

Army Wives; Lifetime. 8 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.

GCB; ABC. 9 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Based on the novel Good Christian Bitches, comes this soapy show just in time to take-over for the departing Desperate Housewives.
The commercials have made this look like a lot of fun (and I am fully aware that doesn't necessarily mean anything), and the cast is pretty good.
And one of the characters is named "Carlene Cockburn"...
You just have to give the show a shot with a name like that.

Breakout Kings; A&E.  9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
And the ads are promising that "one will fall".
