What's Playing in the Media Room - January 3rd 2011

Here we go, it truly starts tonight. I'm so giddy! TV IS BACK!!!

Let's list it out.

Thoughts from the Media Room:  I don't get this show or any of its cousins, it'll be the ratings winner of the night no doubt and will be the chatter around the offices tomorrow.  Personally, I don't get it. 


How I Met Your Mother - 8:00 - CBS - Season 6 Episode 13

Episode Title: Bad News

Marshall and Lily see a fertility specialist. Robin begins her research job at Worldwide News.

Thoughts from the Media Room: This show goes way up and down for me, when it's on, it's one of the most entertaining and funny shows on tv.  When it's off, it's boring and frankly quite boring.  Judging by this preview, it should be pretty good.



Little Mosque on the Prairie - 8:00 - CBC - Season 5 Episode 1

Episode Title: The Proposal

Thoughts from the Media Room:  Season 5? How'd that happen.

Episode Title: Moments Later

Hannah is sent to the hospital and she gets a surprise visit while she is there. Meanwhile, her friends try to find out who "A" is.

Thoughts from the Media Room: This is supposed to be good, but the fact it's also on Much Music has totally killed any chance of me watching this.  Ever.

Episode Title: The Home Stretch

Episode Title: Skunk, Dog Crap and Ketchup

Thoughts from the Media Room:  This show is so brutally up and down, this doesn't look to be on of the ups.  Ugh.

A small Canadian town with a big problem takes radical steps to lose weight.


Mike & Molly - 9:30 - CBS - Season 1 Episode 13

Thoughts from the Media Room: I really wish I kept up with this one, I caught an episode in November and it was actually pretty funny.  They added to jokes to the jokebook that just didn't involve them being fat.


Castle - 10:00 - ABC - Season 3 Episode 11

Episode Title: Nikki Heat

When Castle's novel "Heat Wave" is turned into a movie, actress Natalie Rhodes, shows up at Beckett's invitation to better understand the character she's going to play. Meanwhile, the threesome investigate the murder of a high-class matchmaker.

What will be playing in my media room tonight: How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Castle and Hawaii Five-0.
