Television Premieres and Notables: December 29, 2014-January 4, 2015

Monday, 12/29

It Takes a Choir; USA. 11 am CST. Mini-series
A reality show about a British choirmaster.
I don't know much, but it sounds like USA is burning this off today.


Tuesday, 12/30

Revelation: The End of Days; History. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
A TV reporter and his cameraman look into the Revelation and the Antichrist.


There are probably a bunch of marathons for New Years Eve/New Years Day.
I just don't have the time to look for any. Sorry.
I am pretty sure that AMC is reairing all of The Walking Dead from the first, brilliant, episode all the way to the shocking fifth mid-season finale that aired at the beginning of the month.
Wouldja just check it out already, so I can stop mentioning it?


Friday, 1/2

Whale Wars; Animal Planet. 7 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.
Beluga vs Orca. Shit's gettin' real.
[That's not true. I have no idea what the show is about.]


Saturday, 1/3

Rev. Run's Renovation; DIY. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.


And there's very little Holiday break before TV jumps back into it (I'll never get below 70% on my DVR it seems...) because:


Sunday, 1/4

Galavant; ABC. 7 pm CST. Mini-series Premiere.
I am going to hope that this musical comedy about a knight who is trying to rescue his princess is better than it should be (c'mon: a network taking that big of chance.../). The commercials and the "behind the scenes" special I watched all looked promising.
And, if not, it's only four weeks/episodes.

Steve Austin's Broken Skull Challenge; CMT. 7 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
C'mon, Stone Cold, you're trying a little too hard with that series title.
Have some pride, man...

Downton Abbey (or whatever your PBS station may call it on their DVR schedule); PBS. 8 pm CST (check local listings). 5th Season Premiere.

Worst Cooks in America; Food. 8 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.

Sister Wives; TLC. 8 pm CST. 6th Season Premiere.
Sixth season, hunh? The series that inspired it only did five seasons.
Are you saying you're better than Big Love?

And I don't want it to look like I really missed one, so I'll just say: Trump and his P.O.S. show don't need me advertising it.
