New For the Weekend
Weekend= Friday and Sunday night shows
FRIDAY
Crusoe
NBC
Oct 17, 8 PM
Staring- Philip Winchester , Sam Neill, Anna Walton , Sean Bean
It's an action adventure drama based on the classic novel by Daniel Dafoe. It's set on location in South Africa, but no one has seen it yet.
-I'm not gonna watch because pirates and discovering lands, etc is not really my cuppa, but if it's yours, go at it.
The Ex List
CBS
Oct 3, 9PM
Staring- Elizabeth Reaser(Ava/Rebecca on Grey's), Rachel Boston, Alexandra Breckenridge, Amir Talai
I hear this is really funny and great. Bella (Reaser) hears from her psychic that the man she will marry is someone she has already dated, so she has to go back through them. It also shows her best friend and sister's lives, so it's all girly feel-good.
-I'm watching even though I didn't love Ava/Rebecca on Grey's. I think the whole face thing creeped me out. PLUS, I'm an Alex/Izzie fan.
Sanctuary
Sci-Fi
Oct 3, 9PM
Staring- Amanda Tapping, Christopher Heyerdahl
About a refuge for supernatural beings, or something, I guess.
-I'm so not into Sci-Fi.
The Starter Wife
USA
Oct 10, 10PM
Staring- Debra Messing(Will & Grace, a personal FAV), Judy Davis, Chris Diamantopoulos
Debra Messing reprises the role of Molly Kagan who is newly divorced from a showbiz bigwig. The role began last summer in a miniseries of the same name, when Molly's husband asked for a divorce and Molly and their young daughter moved out. Now, Molly is starting up a writing career and trying to balance her social life and familiar obligations in Hollywood.
-I'm definitely watching, for Debra.
SUNDAY
True Blood
HBO
Sept 7, 9PM
Staring- Anna Paquin , Stephen Moyer, Rutina Wesley, Alexander Skarsgard
This one has already premiered this past Sunday night. It is set in Louisiana and it's about vampires. It's gotten some buzz because vampires are big right now with a lot of different groups of people and this show is a mix of things. It's a romantic comedy that is a little goth and a little murder mystery. That is a big 'ole gumbo of genres. Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is a telepathic waitress who dates a 150 year-old vampire (Stephen Moyer).
Easy Money
CW
Oct 5, 9PM
Staring- Laurie Metcalf (Aunt Jackie on Roseanne), Judge Reinhold
This show was hard to pin down. I'm not sure about it, if it's truly going to show or not. I found a few different premiere dates and some sites don't have it at all. It looks to be about a family of loan sharks- a drama.
-Eh, ?

Newbies (Monday-Thursday)
There are quite a few new shows premiering this Fall. This is the lineup by days of the week. *I cannot sleep. I'm nervous so this is good for my nerves. I'm catching up on my tv watching.**
MONDAY
Worst Week
CBS 9:30PM (September 22)
Comedy about a guy with bad luck. It's supposed to be really funny.
Staring- Kyle Bornheimer, Kurtwood Smith(Red That 70s Show), Erinn Hayes, & Nancy Lenehan(most recently Kay Hickey on My Name is Earl)
My Own Worst Enemy
NBC 10PM (October 11)
Drama- stay-at-home dad who by night is an international super spy but doesn't know that because the government has messed with his brains somehow. He leads a total double life.
Staring- Christian Slater (yes, on TV!), Alfre Woodard, Madchen Amick, Saffron Burrows, Mike O'Malley
A little tidbit about this show, it has not been seen by the press. Or anyone.
Raising The Bar
TNT 10PM (September 1)
Drama- I've heard actually that it's Grey's Anatomy in court instead of in a hospital, just lawyers and judges instead of doctors and nurses. It's created by Steven Bochco (LA Law, Doogie Howser, M.D., Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue) and stars some tv favorites.
Staring- Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack from Saved By the Bell with dark, longish hair), Gloria Reuban, Jane Kackzmarek, J. August Richards (from Angel)
-I will try all of these probably. That means that I will watch one episode. I don't know if I will like Enemy.
TUESDAY
90210
CW, 8PM (September 2)
Drama- I was a huge fan of the original. I will be watching the premier because I have to for the teen in me. I still am unsure if there is supposed to be a "Brandon" and a "Donna" replacement, ya know? I know that there is (or was) a brother and sister that move to Beverly Hills with their parents. I guess we will see. No one has seen this yet either. They have re-written the pilot a few times.
Staring-Shanae Grimes, Tristan Wilds, Dustin Milligan, Lori Laughlin (Aunt Becky!), Rob Estes
Fringe
FOX, 8PM (September 9)
I'm not sure I get it really but it's created by J.J. Abrams (Lost, MI 3, Alias) so that is not surprising. I don't know if that means I'll watch or not. Probably not because there is so much on in it's place. I bet a few of you will like it though
Staring-Joshua Jackson, Anna Torv, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Kirk Acevedo
Privileged
CW, 9PM (September 9)
It's a little bit Nanny, little bit Gossip Girl, little bit Full House. It's a tween drama about a girl who becomes a tutor for two Palm Beach heiresses. I guess it's a little bit The Simple Life, too.
Staring-Joanna Garcia (Cheyenne Reba with dark hair), Anne Archer, Lucy Hale, Ashley Newbrough, Allan Louis
The Mentalist
CBS, 9PM (September 23)
Procedural drama about a police detective who is so highly aware and observant of human behavior, he seems psychic.
Staring- Simon Baker, Robin Tunney, Amanda Righetti, Owain Yeoman, Tim Kang
I like procedural dramas but this sounds a little like Psych. I might watch the first episode.
Wednesday
Knight Rider
NBC, 8PM (September 24)
It's an extension of the 80s tv series. The car has changed from a Trans Am to a Mustang though. I have no intentions of watching.
Staring-Justin Bruening, Sydney Poitier, Bruce Davison, Deanna Russo
Gary Unmarried
CBS, 8:30PM (September 24)
A comedy about a recently divorced dad beginning to date again.
Staring- Jay Mohr, Jaime King, Paula Marshall
I will not be watching. I have not heard great things and I don't like Jay Mohr. I'm doubting this will be around for long.
Do Not Disturb
FOX, 9:30PM (September 10)
A comedy about the inner workings of a boutique hotel called, The Inn.
Staring-Jerry O'Connell, Niecy Nash, Jesse Tyler Ferguson
Passing on this one too. I'm also guessing that this will be short-lived.
Stylista
CW, 9PM (October 22)
Reality game show-type where people compete for a top job at ELLE.
Staring-Anne Slowey, Elle's fashion news director
Here is a great article on the show. It's up against Private Practice but I'll probably watch it just for the reasons stated at the end of that little piece. It seems juicy enough. I could give it a chance.
Sons of Anarchy
FX, 10PM (September 3)
Drama about a motorcycle club that tries to protect their town. It's dark and dirty and looks good to me.
Staring-Charlie Hunnam, Katy Sagal, Ron Perlman, Maggie Siff, Mitch Pileggi, Drea de Matteo
I'm going to watch
THURSDAY
Kath & Kim
NBC, 9:30PM (October 9)
It's an adaptation of an Australian comedy about a mother-daughter duo. No one has seen it but the president of NBC says that it is the funniest show of the season.
Staring- Molly Shannon, Selma Blair, John Michael Higgins, Mikey Day
I love Molly Shannon so I will watch.
Life On Mars
ABC, 10PM (October 9)
It's a mixture and a bit of a mystery. It was a 2006 tv show in the UK and then now, it's a show here. It's gone through some re-vamping though and no one has seen the completed version. The premise is that a man has an accident and wakes up in 1973. He doesn't know if he's in a coma or if he's crazy or what.
Staring- Jason O'Mara, Michael Imperioli, Harvey Keitel, Gretchen Mol
I will watch and see
Eleventh Hour
CBS, 10PM (October 9)
Science fact drama brought to us by Jerry Bruckheimer (CSI,Without a Trace, Cold Case, The Amazing Race) about a biophysicist on call for the FBI helping them solve complex mysteries. No one has seen it.
Staring- Rufus Sewell, Marley Shelton , Marc Blucas, Michael O'Keefe
I'm giving it a shot

Bye, Bye Baby
I am embarrassed by how excitied I am about the 2008 Fall television season. Well, I guess I'm not too terribly embarrassed if I'm discussing it publicly, right? I'm sure it's because there were so many great shows that I fell in love with last year (Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money, Lipstick Jungle, Cane, Big Shots) and I didn't get any time to watch them. We had the strike and then right after that was over, summer came.
I'm starting by giving you a list of the shows that have not been picked up for the 2008-2009 season. If you have a question, email me and let me know. I'm working on the Fall schedule post. Also, let me know which shows you are gonna be watching and wanting to talk about soon! I'm gonna be (trying) to pick up the tv blogging when the shows come on again.
On to the goners:
NBC:
1 vs 100, Amnesia, Bionic Woman, Clash of the Chiors, Journeyman, Las Vegas, My Dad is Better Than Your Dad, Phenominon, Quarterlife, The Singing Bee, Scrubs
Scrubs' final season will air on ABC. I saw all the aired episodes of Quaterlife on Bravo! one day and it was good-ish. It was something I'd watch. I also think that a show like The Singing Bee should be on somewhere during the day.
ABC:
Men In Trees, Big Shots, Carpoolers, Cavemen, October Road, Woman's Murder Club, Cashmere Mafia, Miss Guided, Notes from the Underbelly, Oprah's Big Give, Here Comes the Newlyweds, Dance Wars:Bruno vs Carrie Ann
You asked me about a few of these so, I know that some of you will agree with me, some of these just weren't given a chance. I don't know if some of them were ever gonna be good (ahem) but I some just needed a regular time slot and some stability.
CBS:
Moonlight, Shark, Jericho, Viva Laughlin, Welcome to the Captain, Secret Talents of the Stars, Kid Nation, Power of 10
I liked Shark. I'm sad that Kid Nation is not coming back.
The CW:
Aliens in America, CW Now, Life is Wild, Online Nation, Beauty and the Geek, Crowned:The Mother of All Pageants, Pussycat Dolls Present:Girlicious
I'm so shocked that Beauty and the Geek is cancelled. I like that show. I admit that I didn't watch last season and it's probably a little played out by now. Maybe they shouldn't have shows with colons in the titles anymore.
FOX:
Back to You, New Amsterdam, Nashville, Canterbury's Law, K-Ville, The Return of Jezebel James, The Next Great American Band, Unhitched
Ok, truthfully, I only watched one painful episode of K-Ville because I hated it. I also tried to watch The Return of Jezebel James because of the cast. I couldn't do it. Obviously, I wasn't the only one.
I'll be back later in the week with the new shows. Which show(s) are you sad to see go?

Men In Trees, Big Shots, Carpoolers, Cavemen, October Road, Woman's Murder Club, Cashmere Mafia, Miss Guided, Notes from the Underbelly, Oprah's Big Give, Here Comes the Newlyweds, Dance Wars:Bruno vs Carrie Ann
You asked me about a few of these so, I know that some of you will agree with me, some of these just weren't given a chance. I don't know if some of them were ever gonna be good (ahem) but I some just needed a regular time slot and some stability.
CBS:
Moonlight, Shark, Jericho, Viva Laughlin, Welcome to the Captain, Secret Talents of the Stars, Kid Nation, Power of 10
I liked Shark. I'm sad that Kid Nation is not coming back.
The CW:
Aliens in America, CW Now, Life is Wild, Online Nation, Beauty and the Geek, Crowned:The Mother of All Pageants, Pussycat Dolls Present:Girlicious
I'm so shocked that Beauty and the Geek is cancelled. I like that show. I admit that I didn't watch last season and it's probably a little played out by now. Maybe they shouldn't have shows with colons in the titles anymore.
FOX:
Back to You, New Amsterdam, Nashville, Canterbury's Law, K-Ville, The Return of Jezebel James, The Next Great American Band, Unhitched
Ok, truthfully, I only watched one painful episode of K-Ville because I hated it. I also tried to watch The Return of Jezebel James because of the cast. I couldn't do it. Obviously, I wasn't the only one.
I'll be back later in the week with the new shows. Which show(s) are you sad to see go?

House Is A Mind Blower
If you are not watching House, you are missing out on: excellent writing, acting, chemistry and story lines. I just (finally!) watched the last two episodes of season 4 last night, House's Head (Part One) and Wilson's Heart (Part Two). They were absolutely phenomenal. Every single member of the cast was great, solid. Hugh Laurie, of course, gives me chills.I think Hugh Laurie is simply amazing. I cannot find enough positive adjectives to describe him. They all do- brilliant, talented, attractive, funny, smart. His portrayal of Dr Gregory House is heartbreaking and chilling. I was really moved by him in these two episodes. I am always impressed with him, though.
Go watch House. Go HERE to read about the show. If you just missed a few of season 4's episodes, you can watch them there. I did that last night. You can catch all of season 4's episodes on Fox. Check your local listings. Rent or Netflix the past seasons. You'll love it!!
HOUSE-isms
"I had a heart attack this morning. I can't do any more drugs until lunch." -Wilson's Heart
"You gonna trust me? I lie about everything." -House's Head
"Your biggest problem is I don't know what your biggest problem is." -House's Head
"Genetic defect; nice" -No More Mr Nice Guy
"That top makes you look like an afghani prostitute." -No More Mr Nice Guy
"Run him for everything you can thing of:lepto, schisto, hemo, and the fourth Marx Brother nobody's ever heard of." -No More Mr Nice Guy
"So syphilis prevents domestic violence? I'm gonna be even more attractive to the ladies." -No More Mr Nice Guy
"The problem with sleeping with strangers is... they're strange." -It's A Wonderful Life
"Dr Cuddy- the face that launched a thousand long faces." -Games
That is all of the House-isms today! I'll do more later because they are funny!!

Lost- Season Finale
What did ya'll think? I watched it in St Thomas with my brother and Shannon and Luke. Luke was tipsy and coughing so I'll probably watch it again. Plus, I want to watch it after I've read all the blogs I like to read about it. Some initial reactions:
- Sawyer is still cute but I liked him better (the best) when he and Kate had cage sex. Remember that? When they were on the other island in the Others' cages and they had dirty, semi-rough sex in the cage. Whoa! HO-OT!
- Sun is AWESOME. Yunjin Kim is a brilliant actress.
- Please no hooking up Sawyer and Juliet.
- I felt sorry for Hugo when they were on the helicopter talking about extra weight! Awwwww :(
- Claire was creepy and I hope we see more of her soon. I have read that we need to be focused on "What happened to Claire?" not "Is Claire dead." This came directly from the executive producers.
- Also, from tvguide.com, Harold Perrineau says that Michael's death was not the way he wanted things to go.
- Is Jin really dead? I'm hearing NO....
- What really happened on the island after the 6 left?
- How did Locke die? Why did he change his name? Why was even Walt calling him Jeremy Banthem?
- Speaking of Walt, OMG! He got huge.
So, that's what I got now. I know I'm leaving out a ton. Like...
