What's playing in the Media Room - October 17th 2010

A couple weeks ago I commented on someone's Facebook page about how I thought Thursday was my favorite night of television after they said Monday was their favorite. In writing up tonight's tv post, I really have to change my vote. Sunday is my favorite night of television, I don't watch everything obviously but some of the best shows of television are on Sunday nights. The only thing that could make Sundays better was if FX moved Sons of Anarchy to Sundays. Have I mentioned how much I like Sons of Anarchy?

Let's get into it:

Extreme Makeover - Home Edition - 8:00 - ABC - Season 8 Episode 4

Episode Title: Urban Family

ABC will build a crazy house, Ty will yell, Move that bus! Family will cry.


The Amazing Race 17 - 8:00 - CBS - Season 17 - Episode 4

Episode Title: We should have brought gloves and butt pads

The nine remaining teams set off from the Pit Stop at Awusa Ntso's house in Ghana on the fourth leg of the race.

A Sunday Night Staple!


Desperate Housewives - 9:00 - ABC - Season 8 Episode 4

Episode Title: The Thing That Counts What's Inside

Susan is horrified when she discovers that she has become the face of the provocative internet company she's been secretly working for and is now the cover model for their outdoor billboard ads. Gabrielle tells her coveted secret to the ladies and Renee finds out that Bree is a grandmother and uses it to her advantage in an attempt to steal Keith. Lynette takes advantage of daughter Penny's generous offer to help look after the baby and Paul purchases the home he shared with Mary Alice, against the will of his new wife.

I'm surprised that this still draws so many people.


Undercover Boss - 9:00 - CBS - Season 2 Episode 4

Episode Title: Frontier Airlines

Bryan Bedford, the CEO of Frontier Airlines goes undercover in own company.


Dexter - 9:00 - Showtime - Season 5 Episode 4

Episode Title: Beauty and The Beast

Dexter catches a mysterious woman who may have witnessed him in the act of killing a killer. Deb has a frightening run-in with a murder suspect in the Santa Muerte homicides. Quinn uncovers more similarities between Kyle Butler and Dexter Morgan.

The preview for this episode looked totally amazing. I've read a couple things about upcoming episodes. I never noticed that an actor was actually on the cover of the CD's that he was listening to last week. Hmmmmm.


Boardwalk Empire - 9:00 - HBO - Season 1 Episode 5

Episode Title: Nights In Ballygran

Nucky wishes to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in style, but Eli, Margaret and Van Alden have other plans.

I've only watch the first episode of this and I really need to catch up. I really enjoyed the first one, everyone I talk to rave about it.


Rubicon - 9:00 - AMC - Season 1 Episode 13

Episode Title: You Can Never Win

With the final pieces put together on connecting Kateb to Spangler. Kale and Will have to find a way to oust Spangler before he covertly takes action against them through the use of Mr. Roy. Meanwhile, someone issued a new four leafed clover.

Another one I'm way too far behind for my liking, this is one of the best written shows I've ever seen. Superb acting. Can't recommend this one enough.


Paranormal State - 9:00 Two Episodes - A & E - Season 5 Episode 1

Episode Title: House Arrest and They Come Out at Night

Brothers & Sisters - 10:00 - ABC - Season 5 Episode 4

Episode Title: Righteous Kiss

Rebecca and Justin come to an impasse in their relationship. Holly breaks down, Saul tries to make a romantic connection with a friend.

This show really needs to end, everyone I know that did watch this has dropped it for the much better Parenthood.


CSI: Miami - 10:00 - CBS - Season 9 Episode 3

Episode Title: See No Evil

A blind man is the only witness to the abduction of a young girl and leads to the team to a familiar foe.


Mad Men - 10:00 - AMC - Season 5 Episode 13

Episode Title: Tomorrowland

Don and Peggy are face with life-altering decisions.

I've read on the internet that a major character isn't going to make it out of this season.

Episode Title: I've Been Living like a Demented God!

This one can be crude at times, but you will find yourself laughing.
