Television Premieres and Notables: September 1-7, 2014

Monday, 9/1

Houdini; History. 8 pm CST. Mini-series Premiere.
Adrien Brody stars as the 20th Century escape artist.


Tuesday, 9/2

Royal Pains (USA; 8 pm CST). Season Finale.

Drunk History (Comedy Central; 9:30 pm CST). Season Finale.


Wednesday, 9/3

The League; FXX. 9 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.
And, if your cable company sucked like Charter did for me until a few months ago, and your FXX channel was tied into a sports package last year, the net is repeating the previous season over Monday and Tuesday nights in the late-night hour (sorry, not by my TV right now).
(Of course, I've heard the last season sucked, so maybe it was better that I missed it.)


Thursday, 9/4

Sunday Night Football; NBC. 7:30 pm CST. Season Premiere.
So... Sunday Night Football is airing on a Thursday night?
That'd be right. NBC paid a shit-ton of money to get "Sunday Night Football", and they'll be damned if they are going to change that franchise name for one lousy night just because the NFL kicks-off [see what I did there?] their new football seasons on a Thursday.
Why? cha-ching, baby!


Saturday, 9/6

The Chair; Starz. 10 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Two competing filmmakers have to create their own feature with identical scripts-- and must be filmed in Pittsburgh.


Sunday, 9/7

Boardwalk Empire; HBO. 8 pm CST. 5th and Final Season Premiere.

The Leftovers (HBO; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
