Episode Title: Genesis Part 1 and 2
The Shannon family joins the Tenth Pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first colony established in this beautiful yet foreboding land. Jim Shannon, a devoted father with a checkered past, guides his family through this new world of limitless beauty, mystery and terror. Upon the Shuttle arrival, they are introduced to Cmdr. Nathaniel Taylor, the charismatic and heroic first pioneer and leader of the settlement. Taylor warns the travelers that while Terra Nova is a place of new opportunities and fresh beginnings, all is not as idyllic as it initially appears. Along with blue skies, towering waterfalls and lush vegetation, the surrounding terrain is teeming with danger - and not just of the man-eating dinosaur variety. There is also a splinter colony of renegades led by the battle-hardened Mira, who is vehemently opposed to Taylor and his leadership.

Saw the first hour of this pilot at Fan Expo and I didn't like it at all, i've read today on Twitter that they're on the third version of the pilot. Sadly, every new version just gets worse. I'll check it out to see the second hour and to see if it gets any better, but I doubt it.


Gossip Girl - 8:00 - The CW/Much Music - Season 5 Episode 1
Episode Title: Yes Than Zero

2 Broke Girls - 8:30 - CBS/CityTV - season 1 Episode 2
Episode Title: And The Break-Up Scene
Caroline thinks she's doing Max a favor when she takes it upon herself to facilitate her break-up with Robbie.

Can't wait to see if the funny continues with the second episode, but I have no doubts.


Two and a Half Men - 9:00 - CBS/CTV - Season 9 Episode 2
Episode Title: People Who Love Peepholes
Judy Greer is introduced as Bridget, Walden's ex-wife in the second part of the season premiere.

I was going to boldly claim that this would more than likely be the last episode of Two and a Half Men I ever watch. But then they go and bring in Judy Greer. Damn It. Now I have to watch because I love Greer, she was the best part of last seasons Mad Love.


Hart of Dixie - 9:00/8:00 - The CW/CHCH - Season 1 Episode 1
Episode Title: Pilot
Fast-talking New Yorker Zoe Hart has her life all figured out until she is turned down for a prestigious fellowship she had been certain she would get. Desperate, she decides to finally accept the offer of a kindly stranger, Dr. Harley Wilkes, whom she met at her medical school graduation, and who had proposed she join his small medical practice in Bluebell, Alabama.

I like to watch everything new every season, but this could be very difficult. This just looks like it's gag me with a spoon cute.

But efforts to identify their suspect are thwarted when they discover that he roams the city in a Superhero costume -- and may indeed be a Superhero. Can they capture and unmask the killer before he strikes again?

How awesome was the opener for this one?


Hawaii Five-0 - 10:00 - CBS/Global - Season 2 Episode 2
Episode Title: Ua Lawe Wale
Gov. Denning assigns Officer Lori Weston to Five-0 to make sure McGarrett and team follow the new rules set by him and also apply her excellent profiling skills to the task force. Meanwhile, as Five-0 investigates the kidnapping of a teenage paddleboard champion, Internal Affairs Capt. Vince Fryer continues his interrogation of Kono.

I heard this morning that this one ended on quite the twist. Buuuuut, I'm still not watching. Mondays are too crammed.


The Playboy Club - 10:00 - NBC/CityTV - Season 1 Episode 2
Episode Title: The Scarlett Bunny
The bunnies are excited to learn there will be a contest to be a Playboy magazine covergirl, but for some it means revealing their past. As new Bunny Mother Carol-Lynne begins training the women, especially new Bunny Maureen to be the perfect bunny, she discovers a dark secret Maureen has been hiding. Meanwhile, Nick gets Mayor Daley's support to run for District Attorney with a little help from an unlikely source.

Thankfully I'll be cutting this one off my watch list.
