What's playing in the media room - September 30th 2010

Was only able to catch Survivor last night, who would have guessed that having tribes split by age would have so much drama. NaOnka you so need to go, I really can't take your ignorance and rudeness any longer. Pushing people down just to get a clue to the hidden immunity idol. Real classy. Marty, could you be any more jealous. Good strategy, take the tribes leader and crush the tribe so they'll make you the leader. You could have used Jimmy until the merge and then got rid of him. Dumb. I tried to watch Undercovers while I was putting the Daily News post together but I really wasn't watching it so I'll try to catch up with that on the weekend. But I did realize that the show doesn't seem to have the intensity that it should have for a show about spies.

Let's take a look at Thursdays lineup, does it scare other people? Or is that just me. I've got one thing Sundays and I think Tuesday and then we've got Thursdays with 8 shows that I would like to watch. Ugh.


My Generation - 8:00 - ABC - Season 1 Episode 2

Episode Title: Home Movies

Steven struggles while he finds his footing as father to his 9-year-old son. Dawn opens up about her family as Rolly, in Afghanistan, misses the big moments in Dawn’s pregnancy.

I really enjoyed the concept of this show last week, with some tweaking I think this show could be really good. If the reviews and the ratings have anything to say about it, I don't think it'll make it to week 4.


The Big Bang Theory - 8:00 - CBS - Season 4 Episode 2

Episode Title: The Cruciferous Vegetable Amplification

Sheldon hatches a plan to extend his lifespan when he realizes he won’t be around to see the technology that will be able to download his consciousness into a robot. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak has a cameo.

Funniest comedy of television.

Episode Title: Accounting for Lawyers

Jeff runs into some of his former law-firm colleagues (Rob Corddry, Drew Carey) and returns to some old vices. Seeing the changes in Jeff, the study group decide to come to his rescue, only to find themselves corrupted in the process.

Can't wait to see this, I loved Rob Corddry in Hot Tub Time Machine. Plus his comedy Children's Hospital is twisted and very funny.


Bones - 8:00 - Fox - Season 6 Episode 2

Episode Title: The Couple in the Cave

A couple's remains that are discovered in a National Park cave create a double mystery: who are they and why were they killed?
