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


Friday-Sunday to come...

Shoeaddict Says... Whoa!

My whole TV watching schedule has been different since staying at Maison Parents. I still watch a lot of the same stuff just not at the same time as usual. Plus, I've added even more shows- shows that mom watched and I didn't (The Bachelor, Survivor:China, The Biggest Loser). There are tons of shows that I watch that she doesn't, though and most of those I can watch online. I hope that I'm not hurting the writers on strike by doing that.

I think it's OK because they are already written. I think not buying boxed sets of TV shows and stuff like that will be ways to support the writers. We can also write letters. I have the addresses if anyone is interested. But, I'm not writing about the writers' strike, even though it is going to affect our (my) lives- those of us who watch TV.

The point of this post- to tell you the shows I watch. Every. single. one. that I'm watching right now. I've weeded out and added and I have my list. Tons of shows overlap so, there are lots of DVR'ing and watching online. Here it is- it's a lot. A LOT!!!!

SUNDAY
Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane
The Amazing Race 12
Desperate Housewives
Cold Case- sometimes

MONDAY
If I watch TV during the day, my stories are Days of our Lives and General Hospital. I have not seen GH in months though and Days only sporadically. I'm watching it on SoapNet right now. I like SoapNet because I can watch Beverly Hills, 90210. I cannot even begin to say how OBSESSED I was with this show when it was on in the '90s. OH MY GOD!!!! I watch TLC, The Price is Right, and stuff like that during the day.
Dancing with the Stars
Big Bang Theory
Samantha Who?- I am a BIG DAMN DEAL!!
Two and a Half Men
The Bachelor (it's over this week- JENNI or DeANNA?)

I really LOVE reality TV because I love people and am very interested in how they live and interact.

*Spoilers*

Grey's Anatomy (Let the Truth Sting)
Thursday, 9/8 central on ABC

Ohmigod, y'all! I loved the episode last night!! For me, it was like the Grey's of old. It invoked all different emotions in me- laughter, tears, nerves. It was a glimmer of what it used to be. Even the characters were back to being who they have always been. I think there may be hope.

Alex was brilliant during his procedure in saving the day but he can't stand for George to get any type of attention and ended up proving to be a big 'ole cad in the end by outing him as a "repeater" at the end of the show. Who else wanted to wring his neck? And the eye thing- if that would've been my kid, I'da freaked!! Do y'all think he's in love with Izzie? Or that he wants her or something like that and knows there is something going on with Izzie and George? I know he's an ass, I do, but I really think he's more complex than he wants people to think.

Derek and Mark seem to be slowly rebuilding their friendship which is a good thing. I think with Addison gone, it will be easier for them. I also think Derek was right about the surgery. Mark and the Chief were just trying to puff their egos. Something that bothered me- when the kid that had the spinal fluid building in his brain collapsed and everyone was freaking out? OK, is Dr. Shepard the ONLY neurologist (or whatever) in the entire freaking hospital? That was kooky.

Meredith was her usual hot/cold, hot/cold self with someone (her half-sister Lexi- who I don't really like, yet) who is throwing themselves at her with their emotion. Well, I suppose she has been consistently cold but then last night began to change her tune by going over Lexi's mothers death note with her. You know she'll be all cold with her again soon. Neither girl ever did anything to the other. It's not Lexi's fault Mer's dad left her. Plus, both girls have lost their mothers, they could be close. She (Mer) is obsessed with being screwed up and I really have no patience with that.

I was in love with Charlie AKA Really Old Guy. I am THE biggest sucker for elderly people and he was the cutest. His lines, especially his banter with Izzie, were adorable ("I don't like you!" "Oh, really? I thought we were B.F.F.s" Too cute! Or when he said he was gonna die-NOW- and he grunted and squeezed his eyes shut and Izzie told him he wasn't gonna die but poop in his pant!) and touching. I freaked out when Izzie started pulling out plugs and wires- HELLO! Do you like doing that? Good Gracious! And I'm glad Charlie told her what's-what about having an affair with a married man. I don't think Izzie is a bad person, just lonely and jealous.

George. Oh George! I thought it was good for him to tell Izzie what he told her. I think he never should have told her he loved her in the first place. HE'S MARRIED! It doesn't matter if he regrets it or doesn't love Callie or loves Izzie or whatever. He needs to be unmarried before getting tangled up with Izzie. PERIOD. I thought it was brave of him to tell Mark and the Chief they were wrong about doing the riskier surgery. And then- whoa, wasn't he shocked when Chatty Cathy reveals to her friends (on his advice- kinda) that they have bad hair, breath and pants! Too funny.

Miranda was working in the clinic, fielding resident/intern problems and basically doing Callie's job all day while Callie was hiding out doing paperwork. Miranda demands to know why she's not doing her job and Callie says because Miranda does it so much better and she's sick of fighting. I felt so bad for her. I felt bad for Miranda and Callie. In the end, Miranda went to Callie and told her that she had been having trouble with this situation. She was used to being number one and now she was going to be Callie's number two (the best number two the hospital has ever seen) and work with her. The two will probably be a force to be reckoned with once they come together.

George tells Callie in the last scene that he slept with Izzie.

What did y'all think of this episode? Like I've said, I feel like Grey's is on the road to recovery. Also, a little bit of news, Private Practice is the highest rated new show. Shocked? Sad? Yeah...

My fav new shows (in no particular order):
Cane
Pushing Daisies
Gossip Girl
Big Shots
Dirty Sexy Money

XXXOOO
