Television Premieres and Notables: September 15-21, 2014
And here we go for Fall 2014. Starting out slowly this week with Fox jumping the gun (because of baseball playoffs in October) and kicking in next week...
Monday, 9/15
Dancing With the Stars; ABC. 7 pm CST. 19th Cycle Premiere.
Masterchef (Fox; 7 pm CST). Season Finale.
The Approval Matrix (Sundance; 10 pm CST). Season Finale.
Tuesday, 9/16
New Girl; Fox. 8 pm CST. 4th Season Premiere.
Let's hope the writers of this show regrouped a little after the abject failure that was last season...
The Mindy Project; Fox. 8:30 pm CST. 3rd Season Premiere.
I am still not as in love with this show as many (critics) are, but it did get better last year.
Brickleberry; Comedy Central. 9:30 pm CST. Season Premiere.
Wednesday, 9/17
The Mysteries of Laura; NBC. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A detective solves crimes by day-- and tries to raise her wild twin six-year-olds at night.
Red Band Society; Fox. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A young man in a coma narrates the "adventures" of a group of teens who live in a hospital due to various serious conditions (osteosarcoma, needing a heart transplant, cystic fibrosis).
The Meltdown With Jonah and Kumail (Comedy Central; 9:30 pm CST). Season Finale.
Thursday, 9/18
Married (FX; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
I stuck it out, but this show didn't not capture my imagination.
The Honorable Woman (Sundance; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.
Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories; adult swim. 11:15pm CST. Series Premiere.
I just don't do nearly enough LSD to be able to handle Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, but some people just loved it. This show is probably for them.
Friday, 9/19
Tanked; Animal Planet. 9 pm CST. 5th Season Premiere.
Saturday, 9/20
I've tried to talk the show up here and there,and I'll say last week's Hell on Wheels (AMC; 8 pm CST) was just gut-wrenching. There are great things going on on that quiet Saturday show. In my mind, Anson Mount is one of the best actors working on television right now. You should try to catch up.
Sunday, 9/21
Madam Secretary; CBS. 7:30 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Tea Leoni is finally back on TV.
She plays a woman leading a quiet life until the president asks her to be his secretary of state.
The preview I saw made that whole scene look preposterous, but I'm game for trying this one out anyway.
And looking at the start time of this premiere, I think it's a good time to remind people that their CBS and Fox shows may start late due to football. Make sure you build in time on your DVR-- especially if the network air the late game that week. CBS, especially, gets "off". I often had to add a whole hour of cushion last year.
The Good Wife; CBS. 8:30 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.
Cutthroat Kitchen; Food Network. 9 pm CST. 5th Season Premiere.
Monday, 9/15
Dancing With the Stars; ABC. 7 pm CST. 19th Cycle Premiere.
