What's playing in the media room - September 28th 2010

It's Tuesday so that means Glee for most. From what I've seen Glee should be a good episode tonight.

What did people think of Monday's lineup? House was a fantastic episode, it seemed that they threw everything they could at us trying to make us cry. I was happy to see House and Cuddy figure out how they need to do things at work and still remain professional while people's lives hang in the balance. It seems like every time something bad happens to them this season, I'm going to say and here we go, this is the end of Huddy. I enjoyed the second episode of The Event, I'm just not certain I like where the show is going. I PVR'd Lone Star trying to do my part and add to the ratings, I haven't seen the ratings for last night but I really hope Lone Star performed a bit better. From everything I read on Twitter last night people seemed to be loving the episode.

Let's look at Tuesday's lineup.


No Ordinary Family - 8:00 - ABC - Season 1 Episode 1

Episode Title: Pilot

A family that develops superpowers after a plane crash in the Amazon, patriarch Jim (Michael Chiklis) discovers he has immense strength, and his wife, Stephanie (Julie Benz), is blessed with amazing speed. Meanwhile, their 16-year-old daughter, Daphne, turns telepathic, and their learning-disabled 14-year-old son, JJ, becomes a genius.

I watched this a few weeks ago and while I could see why people would enjoy it, the nerd in my isn't totally sold on this one. I think it'll be a good family drama before it'll be a superhero show.


Glee - 8:00 - Fox - Season 2 Episode 2

Episode Title: Britney/Brittany

Will doesn’t want the kids to do a Britney Spears routine. He’s also a bit jealous of Emma’s new dentist boyfriend (John Stamos). A trip to the dentist for the Glee clubbers gives them hallucinations and they sing some Britney Spears' greatest hits. Spears appears as herself.

This has been the most hyped episode of Glee so far this season. I expect big things from this one.


NCIS - 8:00 - CBS - Season Episode

Episode Title: Worst Nightmare

The team searches for a kidnapped a young girl, but their investigation gets much bigger and more complicated when the girl’s grandfather complicates the case when he gets way too involved.


The Biggest Loser - 8:00 Two Hours - NBC

Episode Title: The First Challenge

Two players who didn’t make the cut during the season opener are picked by Bob and Jillian to join the game. Later, the group have their first workout and meet with Dr. Huizenga for health assessments; a surprise early weigh-in puts more players than usual at risk of elimination; and the contestants race each other for the first challenge.

One Tree Hill - 8:00 - The CW - Season 8 Episode 3

Episode Title: The Space in Between

Brooke and Julian spend the day babysitting Jamie. Meanwhile, Nathan makes a big decision about his career. Victoria and Millicent join forces to cook up a scheme.

Dancing With the Stars - 9:00 - ABC

The second contestant gets the boot from the highly popular show. *fingers crossed* it's the situation. Those Jersey kids already get way too much tv time. Someone posted a picture of Sookie on their twitter last night, can that girl get any more orange?

Raising Hope - 9:00 - Fox - Season 1 Episode 2

Episode Title: Dead Tooth

Jimmy needs a babysitter when he goes back to work, so he turns to Sabrina’s cousin (Kate Micucci) for help; Burt tries to persuade Virginia to stop smoking.

I enjoyed this one last week, I liked the family dynamic and every though they didn't want to, the family came together when they needed to. I'll give this one another try.


Life Unexpected - 9:00 - The CW - Season 2 Episode 3

Episode Title: Criminal Incriminated

Lux considers buying the answers to an important exam that she needs to pass to stay in school. Cate accidentally eats banana bread laced with marijuana which leads to an unusual day at the radio station. Ryan and Cate argue about large sum of money when it goes missing from Cate’s wallet.

Does anyone watch this show? Never met anyone that did.


NCIS: Los Angeles - 9:00 - CBS - Season 2 Episode 3

Episode Title: Borderline

Derek and Kensi partner on a mission to find three marines who disappeared after their Humvee was ambushed in the desert. Nate returns from a mysterious assignment.


Running Wilde - 9:30 - Fox - Season 1 Episode 2

Episode Title: Into the Wilde

Emmy’s fiancé (David Cross) shows up at Steve’s estate and ruins Steve’s plans to take Emmy and Puddle on a vacation.

Easily the worst show I watched last week.


The Good Wife -10:00 - CBS - Season 2 Episode 1

Episode Title: Taking Control

Alicia being forced to make a choice between staying with Peter and supporting his political campaign or leaving him to pursue a relationship with Will.

One of the biggest surprises of last season is back and hoping to continue getting the good reviews.


Parenthood - 10:00 - NBC - Season 2 Episode 3

Episode Title: I’m Cooler Than You Think

Sarah’s coworker (Kevin Alejandro) offers advice on Amber, who’s been spending a lot of time with her new friend Kelsey. Julia wants another baby and she works on convincing Joel, Adam works on improving his relationship with Max.


Detroit 1-8-7 - 10:00 - ABC - Season 1 Episode 2

Episode Title: Local Hero/Overboard

Stone is paired with Sanchez on the investigation into the murder of a promising football player, which doesn’t sit well with Fitch; Longford and Mahajan look into the disappearance of a groom during a wedding reception on a party boat. Elsewhere, Mason asks Fitch to speak at a press conference to help quell the public-relations fallout from an incident inside the precinct.

I really enjoyed this one, a few complained about formula. I'll give it another week as I really enjoy the cast they've put together here.


Sons of Anarchy - 10:00 - FOX - Season 3 Episode 4

Episode Title: Home

Jax and Clay head for Canada, thinking that Abel’s there after getting some bad intel from Jimmy O. They want Gemma to head north and out of harm’s way as well, but she has unfinished business with her dad (Hal Holbrook). Happy needs a pharmaceutical favor from Honey (Frances Fisher) in some redneck territory. In Belfast, Jimmy O (Titus Welliver) clashes with Father Kellen Ashby (James Cosmo).

I can't say enough good things about this show. Rent the dvd's and catch up already!

Also on:

On CBC There are new episodes of Rick Mercer, 22 Minutes and Being Erica.

What will be playing in my media room tonight?

Glee, Raising Hope, I've already watched No Ordinary Family but I'll give that another week. Detroit 187, Parenthood and of course Sons Of Anarchy.

What will your night look like?
