What's playing in the media room - September 23rd

Fairly slow night in my media room last night, had to go to bed early as this week is leaving me exhausted. Going into tonight the pvr is 75 percent full and that isn't good as tonight is a very heavy night. I'm hoping to get home at a decent hour and clear some room before stuff starts recording.

Let's take a look at what we've got for tonight...




My Generation - 8:00 - ABC - Season 1 Episode 1

New Show!

Episode Title: Pilot




A documentary crew documents the lives of members of a Texas high school class 10 years after graduation; overachiever Steven returns home after learning he has a 9-year-old son with a former classmate.

I'm certainly intrigued by this one but like a few shows this year, I'm just not sure how long it could last. How much material can they really have?


The Big Bang Theory - 8:00 - CBS - Season 4 Episode 1

Episode Title: The Robotic Manipulation




In the fourth-season opener, Sheldon goes on a date with Amy Fowler—-his first date ever—and Penny finds herself accompanying them.

Oh baby! I sooo can't wait for this one to begin.


Community - 8:00 - NBC - Season 2 Episode 1

Episode Title: Anthropology 101




As the new semester begins, the study group gathers to tackle Anthropology 101; Jeff struggles to establish decorum with Britta and Annie; Senor Chang decides to enroll as a student so he can join the study group.

Another oh baby! This show doesn't get enough attention as it's one of the funniest shows on television. Even if that funny isn't consistent.

Bones - 8:00 - Fox - Season 6 Episode 1

Episode Title: The Mastodon in the Room

Season 6 begins seven months after the Jeffersonian team went its separate ways, but they’re summoned back to Washington, D.C., by Caroline Julian when a case involving the body of an unidentified young boy could cost Cam her job.

Don't watch Bones so I really can't comment too much, or at all on that one.


The Vampire Diaries - 8 - The CW - Season 2 Episode 3

Episode Title: Bad Moon Rising

Elena, Damon and Alaric travel to Duke University to find Isobel’s research on folklore and the paranormal, they look for clues to the mystery surrounding the Lockwood family; Stefan faces a new danger in the woods; Tyler makes a shocking discovery about his Uncle Mason. Vanessa a former student of Isobels helps them sort through the research and ends up learning more than she had anticipated.

This show since the midway point of last season just keeps getting better every episode.


$#*! My Dad Says - 8:30 - CBS - Season 1 Episode 1

New Show!

Episode Title: Pilot

The premiere of the sitcom based on Justin Halpern’s popular Twitter feed about the outrageous observations of his politically incorrect father. In the opener, the grumpy dad (William Shatner) invites his son (Jonathan Sadowski) to move back home after the young man loses his job as a writer for a men’s magazine.

One of the most talked about shows this fall, unfortunately it's not always for good reason. Not supposed to last long.


30 Rock - 8:30 - NBC - Season 5 Episode 1

Episode Title: The Fabian Strategy

Season 5 opens with Jack interfering with Liz’s blooming romance with Carol (Matt Damon) in an effort to help her finally win a man’s heart. There’s give-and-take in Jack’s own love life when Avery revamps his apartment. Meanwhile, Tracy copes with Kenneth’s termination as NBC page. Jenna becomes a producer of The Girl Show.

One of the highest rated shows on television is back for another season of pure comedic genius.


The Office - 9:00 - NBC - Season 7 Episode

Episode Title: Nepotism

Season 7 begins with Michael hiring a new office assistant (Evan Peters), whose bad attitude rubs the staffers the wrong way. Meanwhile, Erin flirts with someone other than Andy, and Pam tries to show Jim she has a playful side by pulling an office prank.

Big news of the summer was that Steve Carrel was leaving after this season. He wasn't in it much last season and I found the season was very up and down. It isn't looking good for the series continuing past season 8.


Grey’s Anatomy - 9:00 - ABC - Season 7 Episode 1

Episode Title: With You I’m Born Again

In the wake of of the shooting at Seattle Grace Mercy Trauma counselor Andrew Perkins (James Tupper) is brought in to help staffers cope and to assess their fitness to return to work. Meanwhile, Derek resigns as chief and rushes back into surgery. Someone plans a wedding.


Nikita - 9:00 - The CW - Season 1 Episode 3

Episode Title: Kill Jill

Nikita rescues a journalist who is in danger trying to expose a conspiracy; Michael and Percy suspect Birkhoff is helping Nikita. Jaden, Alex and Thom help Michael find his latest target.

Watched this again last week, it's enjoyable fun that's entertaining. The conspiracy doesn't seem big enough to force Nikita to destroy it yet. They must have done some really bad stuff that they aren't telling us yet.


CSI - 9:00 - CBS - Season 11 Episode 1

Episode Title: Shock Waves

As Langston fights to survive after being attacked by nut job Nate Haskell, the rest of the team attends the funeral of an officer, which turns out deadly.

I'm losing interest in this one fast. Hopefully they can turn it around, doesn't help I don't like Fishburne in this role.


Fringe - 9:00 - Fox - Season 3 Episode 1

Episode Title: Olivia




Olivia struggles to free herself from "the other side", while her auburn-haired counterpart works alongside the oblivious Peter and Walter. Waltertries to reconcile with Peter, but they are both unaware that the Olivia with them isn't the real one.


Project Runway - 9:00 - Bravo

Episode Title: Race to the Finish

The designers are tasked with creating a high-fashion look, and there’s a hefty reward at stake. Will there designs be enough to keep the around to design another day.

Thrilling stuff there.

New Show! Pilot

American Todd Dempsy moves to India to head up a call center for a novelties company in the premiere of this comedy series. After meeting his eccentric employees, Todd realizes he has to teach them about American culture in order to help them sell the humorous products from the company’s catalog.

I don't know what NBC was thinking when they brought this show to the schedule.


Private Practice - 10:00 - ABC - Season 4 Episode 1

Episode Title: Take Two

As the doctors mourn Dell in the fourth-season opener, Violet and Pete anxiously prepare for their wedding day —perhaps too anxiously. Meanwhile, Naomi must care for both Maya and Maya’s baby. She also worries about Dink’s parenting skills. And things take a surprising turn for Addison and Sam.


The Mentalist - 10:00 - CBS - Season 3 Episode 1

Episode Title Red Sky at Night

The CBI is tasked with finding a prominent lawyer who was kidnapped, but Jane questions his future with the team following his encounter with Red John. The team looks into two high profile kidnappings.


The Apprentice - 10:00 - NBC - Season 10 Episode 2

Episode Title: Ice Cream

When the teams are asked to sell ice cream on the streets of New York, one team sabotages the other; a project manager attacks a member of the team.

Judging by the ratings last week it would appear that I'm not the only one tired of this show. I gotta think this will be the last season.


It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia - 10:00 - FX Network - Season 6 Episode 2

Episode Title: Dennis Gets Divored

Dennis comes to the realization that marriage is not how he imagined it to be and he wants out.

I really need to catch up on this one. I've only watched 3 episodes.


The League - 10:30 - FX Network - Season 2 Episode 2

Episode Title: Bro-Lo El Cunado

The married guys atone for Vegas; an adult weekend for Kevin and Jenny; a terrific lady day for Ruxin and Sofia; The League is plagued by Rafi, Ruxin’s brother-in-law.


Well that's all I've got for you tonight and it's a doozy.

What i'll be watching tonight: Big Bang Theory, Community, 30 Rock, Vampire Diaries, CSI, The Office, Nikita. Plus I"ll check out the pilots for My Generation, Bleep and Outsourced just to say I've seen them and see what they're all about.
