So NBC has a new person in charge over there as part of the Comcast deal. Robert Greenblatt is now in charge of primetime programming. One of the first moves he's made is to actually make the Wonder Woman pilot that NBC recently turned down due to mostly costs to get the thing off the ground. The pilot is being put together by David E. Kelley who's currently working on Harry's Law also on NBC.
Don't know if you watch Archer, but it's a dark twisted spy cartoon that air's on FX. Here's the poster for Season 2. The tagline says it all, "The Spy Who loved Himself"
Fans were worried when the news came out that Fringe was getting bumped to the deadly Friday time-slot. Well, fans should be celebrating as the ratings for the first friday where up from it's last Thursday show. On another note, holy crap Christopher Lloyd is looking old.
Here's the first full look at the new Spidey suit with web-shooters.
Alrighty, let's get into the week.
Sunday
It looks like Football is dominating the schedule tonight, well, that an cartoons. Football will pull around 30 million viewers so some regular programming has been pulled from tonight's schedule. But CBS is aiming to carry those viewers into a special night of Hawaii Five-0.
Don't feel like watching Football or regular tv? There are a tonne of movies on today, Wargames, Neverending Story, The Mighty Ducks, The Lake House, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Stepmom, The Bridges of Madison County, Sex and The City, Clueless, Casino, Glory Road, Failure to Launch, Steel Magnolias, Charlie's Angels, Patch Adams just to name quite a few options for you to watch.
If trashy "reality" programming is your thing, E! is bringing the premiere of Kourtney & Kim take New York. I'm sure that'll be thrilling.
Fox will be rocking their entire Sunday night cartoon lineup if that's your thing.
Monday
What the hell is CBS doing? Two weeks ago we didn't get the comedy lineup, last week we did what we craved. This week? Nope. Nothing new from CBS Monday night! GRRRRR!! You're killing me CBS.
The highlight of the night for me will be this week's castle. The episode should really be titled "The Kiss" because that's what is getting hyped, so of course it'll be nothing. But over thetvaddict.com he's got 5 great reasons why Monday's episode of Castle will be great.
Another high note for me is a classic Rob Lowe film is on CHCH. Youngblood. An upstate New York farm boy grows up the hard way after going to Canada to play semipro hockey. Stars, Rob Lowe, Cynthia Gibb, Patrick Swayze. See, I told ya, awesome!
Are people still watching The Cape?
Monday night's at 10 are suddenly very full, Hawaii Five-0, Castle and the new Harry's Law.
Tuesday
Hmmm, the guy in charge in the States is at it again. He messed up the schedule for us tv fans a couple weeks ago and Tuesday night he's addressing his people with The State of The Union so that's creating chaos all over the place on Tuesday.
The basic rundown is this, new Biggest Loser, Flashpoint and Rick Mercer annnnd that's it. Oh, sorry, there is also a new What Not to Wear. In Canada we'll also get a new episode of Hellcats on the new VR.
Sure they'll be a bunch of repeats on around the speech to catch you up on stuff you might have missed.
Movies? Sure. Casino Royale, great flick. Little Giants and a couple movies that seems to be made for tv.
Looks like Tuesday will be a catchup and clear the pvr night. Helpful, but still annoying.
Wednesday
Wow, what is with the schedule this week? It's outta wack and I don't like it. CBS has it regular line up on with no problem. ABC is still recovering from the Presidents speech a few weeks ago. No new comedies until 9:30 when they air the Cougar Town that really should have been on last week. But because of the speech running late, Cougar Town is behind an episode and they're making it up tonight. So next week hopefully the schedule there returns to normal. NBC is two thirds normal, with no new Law & Order on at 10:00.
But Idol is on as normal, I was amazed just how quickly and easily I was right back in there. Simon who?
There isn't really any movies on Wednesday either, that's two days of catchup and clean up, that's if there is anything to watch on the pvr at this point. *sigh*
Thursday
OH WTF! No Big Bang Theory this week? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE. That's two out of the last three weeks no new episode? It's one of their biggest shows and yet somehow we're getting a new shit my dad says? Just air these to get rid of them and never bring it back. Please. Thank god NBC is rocking the entire three hour comedy block.
Speaking of that block, we watched Perfect Couples last week, mostly because it was supposed to be about games night. In this house we love Games Night. So anyways, it was a muuuuch better episode than the horrible preview episode last month. Much better chemistry then the preview, worst thing about the show. Olivia Munn, she's a horrible actress. Sorry fellow nerds.
It would appear that only NBC is the ones airing anything new after 8:30. Nothing new at 9 and 10. Sigh.
Movies? Not really. Cries in the Dark and Sugar &; Spice. No thanks.
Friday
Friday's are looking real bare, Smallville and Supernatural are back so fans will be happy about that. Fringe is new at 9. Wow, when did Fridays get so nerdy? There is nothing else I really can say about Fridays.
