What's playing in the media room - September 22nd 2010

Lots of great stuff tonight to watch, better then last night in my opinion. Plus we've got the premieres of 4 new shows. Let's jump right in and see what we've got.




The Middle - 8:00 PM - ABC - Season 2 Episode 1

Episode Title: Back To School

In the season 2 premiere, Frankie has a hard time getting the kids ready for school and she's accused of being overprotective by Brick's new teacher (Doris Roberts). Meanwhile Sue may be too enthusiastic about being on the cross country team.

I don't watch this one, but I like the Everybody Loves Raymond reunion with Doris Roberts.


Survivor: Nicaragua - 8:00 PM - CBS - Season 21 Episode 2

Episode Title: Fatigue Makes Cowards of Us All

Tempers flare and fights erupt in the La Flor tribe as the younger castaways struggle to overcome potentially dangerous personality conflicts with the group.

Draaaama, love it! I bet it's the douche bag from last week I hated is in the middle of all this. Who knew Survivor had episode titles?


America's Next Top Model - 8:00 PM - The CW - Season 15 Episode 3

Episode Title: Patricia Field

Fashion designer Patricia Field is the guest judge. The girls get a surprise makeover and pose as fallen angels at a photo shoot and another model is eliminated from the competition.

Posing as fallen angels?? I can't miss that! As you can tell, I don't watch this and every time I see that it's in its 15 season I just shake my head.


Hell's Kitchen - 8:00 PM - Fox - Season 8 Episode 1

Episode Title:16 Chefs Compete

16 chefs compete for a head chef job at an L.A. hotel restaurant and the post of spokesperson for a winery. First, they must prepare their signature dishes. A lesson in preparing sushi from Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto before they must do it for themselves.

New Show!

Episode Title: Pilot




Married former spies Steven and Samantha Bloom re-enter the world of espionage to track down a friend and fellow agent who disappeared while on the trail of an arms dealer.

Abrams is behind this, so I'll be checking it out.


Better With You - 8:30 PM - ABC - Season 1 Episode One

New Show!

Episode Title: Pilot




A sitcom about the relationships among three couples from one family. In the premiere Maddie is distressed to learn her younger sister, Mia is engaged to a guy she's only known for a short time. The siblings' parents are overjoyed with the news.

It's got the mom from 70's show in it and I loved her in that show. Buuuut it does seem to being using the Modern Family formula. We'll see.


Modern Family - 9:00 PM - ABC - Season 2 Episode 1

Episode Title: The Old Wagon



Phil reluctantly agrees to get rid of the Dunphy station wagon, which prompts a wave of nostalgia for the old car. Cameron enlists Jay's help when Mitchell tries to build a princess castle for Lily. Manny asks a girl to come over and study.

All I can say is, I CAN'T WAIT!


Hellcats - 9:00 PM - The CW - Season 1 Episode 3

Episode Title: Beale St. After Dark

The Hellcats accompany Savannah on her first date with Dan. Marti tries to impress her law professor in hopes of joining his legal team. Alice turns to pills and Vanessa comes clean with Derrick.

The second episode was much better then the first and I"ll watch this one as well, the thing about shows like this is: I can't see them being on the air more then one year. How much material can they have to keep this going?


Law and Order: SVU - 9:00 PM 2 Hours, 2 Episodes - NBC - Season 12 Episodes 1 and 2

Episode Title: Locum

Benson and Stabler are pulled between suspects when they are called to the last known sighting of a missing 10-year-old girl by her adoptive parents. After it turns out she ran away to meet a man she was friends with on the internet, suspicion turns towards the graphic artist who declares himself smitten with Benson. Then as the investigation progresses, a mystery from the parents' past is revealed and suddenly all bets are off.

Episode Title: Bullseye

The rape of a 10-year-old girl is so brutal it leaves her unable to recall even her own name. Unfortunately once Fin assists with the id, the detectives find she's not the only one with memory impairment. Dr. Huang is brought in to assess her home situation. The case becomes even more complicated when Erik Weber reappears and inserts himself where he doesn't belong, even though he might be their only lead.

Cougar Town - 9:30 PM - ABC - Season 2 Episode 1

Episode Title: All Mixed Up

In the second season premiere Jules finds the bond with her new psychiatrist (a certain someone from a little show called Friends) tested when she learns the truth behind her treatment methods. Meanwhile Bobby struggles to face the fact that Jules and Grayson are a couple. Ellie is envious of Jules' relationship with her doctor.

I love how shows bring in all the gimmicks for the premiere episodes!

Terriers - 10:00 PM - FX Network - Season 1 Episode 3

Episode Title: Change Partners

To secure a loan, Hank must prove that the bank manager's wife is cheating on him but what he finds is much more kinkier then infidelity.

Last weeks was much better then the first episode so I'll give this another try, I'm really digging the dynamic between the two main characters.


The Whole Truth - 10:00 PM - NBC - Season 1 Episode 1

New Show!

Episode Title:Pilot




A legal drama that follow cases from both sides starring Maura Tierney as prosecutor Kathryn Peale and Rob Morrow as defense lawyer Jimmy Brogan who is her friend and law school classmate. In this premiere a high school teacher is charged with killing a student with whom he had been in frequent contact. In fact, Peale clams he was actually stalking her. But she's worried that Brogan knows something she doesn't.

I'm hearing that this is a cool concept, but this isn't a great show. Two very good television actors in this one. How could you not give it a watch?


The Defenders - 10:00 PM - CBS - Season 1 Episode 1

New Show!

Episode Title: Pilot

Two charismatic defense lawyers, Nick and Pete represent a variety of clients in Las Vegas. In this opening episode they guy defend a young man accused of murder who rejects a lenient plea bargain in order to face a jury. The firm's newest associate, a former exotic dancer beings work and represents a teen accused of kidnapping. Starring tv vets Jim Belushi and Jerry O' Connell.

Does this sound totally silly to anyone else?


That's all I've got for tonight. What will you be watching?

Tonight in my house we've got: Survivor, Better With You, Undercovers, Modern Family, Cougar Town, Criminal Minds, Hellcats and I'll check out The Whole Truth and The Defenders just to see what they're about. Ugh, I've got to clear some room on the pvr.
