What's Playing in the Media Room: October 11th

Last Man Standing - 8:00 - ABC - Season 1 Episode 1/2
Episode Title: Pilot/Last Baby Proofing Standing
In the first part of the premiere, Mike plays Cupid for Mandy by setting her up on a blind-date with Kyle, one of his employees who he thinks would be the perfect guy for her. But Mike's set-up gets off track when Kyle accidentally meets Kristin. Meanwhile at work, Mike's long-time boss and friend, Ed, announces that he's grounding Mike from their catalogue's international photo shoots and putting him in charge of the company's webpage.

Mike is outnumbered by his wife and daughters when they all agree that baby proofing the house is a good idea. But soon Vanessa has second thoughts when she finds herself home by herself babysitting Boyd and can't release the toilet seat's complicated childproof latch. Meanwhile, Mike thinks it's time for Mandy to earn her own money and gets her a job delivering pizzas -- without first consulting Vanessa.

I'll check out the first episode of this Home Improvement with Daughters instead of boys remake. I've watched several promos for this and I think it looks awful.

The winning team receives an unexpected and very emotional bonus prize. Later, trainer Bob Harper takes his team to the pool for last chance workouts, where one player tries to overcome his fear of the water, while trainer Dolvett Quince pushes his team to new heights in the gym and trainer Anna Kournikova takes her team to a favorite spot – the new “Biggest Loser” tennis court. In the end, the losing team at this week’s weigh-in must decide who will be going home.


Flashpoint - 8:00 - CTV - Season 4 Episode 10
Episode Title: Wild Card

I had to double check this description as it didn't sound right. That being said, I've still only watched the first episode. Supposed to rain all weekend at this point, I'm sensing a power session to get through 4 episodes of this.

Episode Title: Up In Flames
