On Air Tonight: Thursday
Tonight the DVR will once again be running full tilt. Smallville kicks off it’s new season at 8 p.m. on the CW up against My Name is Earl on NBC and Ugly Betty ABC. I dropped off of Ugly Betty at the end of last season when life got a bit crazy. I meant to…

New Season: ABC’s Dirty Sexy Money
My first thought, as I rolled my eyes at the show descriptoion was, “Great, another lawyer show with quirky characters.” And so it was with great trepidation that I tuned in to the first episode of Dirty Sexy Money. Now that it’s over, I can honestly say that not only was I pleasantly surprised, but…

On Air Tonight: Wednesday
Another busy night for me and my DVRs. We know from last week that the only thing worth watching at 8 p.m. is Kid Nation. Fox’s Back To You will be recorded, just because I feel generous and am willing to give it another chance. It’s at 9 p.m. when things get a little tricky.…

New Season: NBC’s Bionic Woman
Of all the networks, NBC seems to be a bit ahead of this technology curve. At least for the upcoming fall season. They’ve made three of the pilots for new shows available in a few different ways. I watched them on my cable system’s On Demand system the other day. We see remakes all the…

New Season: The CW’s Reaper
It’s rare to see a comedy that has both high production values and an oxymoronic high-class flavor of lowbrow humor. Reaper is one of those rare shows. Granted, when I first started seeing stuff on it, I thought it would be a cold day in Hell before it turned out to be worthwhile. Seems that…

On Air Tonight: Tuesday
Tuesday night, for me, has been traditionally filled with show conflict. This season looks to be no different. We’ve got the new seasons of Bones and NCIS both starting in the same hour–in direct conflict with the next episode of Beauty and the Geek. That’s followed by the premiere of the new CW series Reaper…

News Season: CBS’ The Big Bang Theory
In theory, the show could be funny. In practice, it’s not even close. The story of two total geeks (or, perhaps more accurately, nerds) living together in a vaguely run-down apartment building who get a new neighbor–a totally hot girl. The Big Bang Theory misses on every possible note it can. Well, that’s not entirely…

Heroes – Season 2
Picking up four months after the events that closed out the first season, Heroes has returned with just as much style and bite as ever. For most of the world, not much has changed. Most knew nothing of the disaster that had been diverted–or the price that was paid–by those special few. Most of the…

On Air Tonight: Monday
Tonight you’ll be able to catch the broadcast premieres of Chuck and Journeyman on NBC. More importantly, there’s the second season premiere of Heroes, my personal favorite show of last season. Chuck is already losing me to Prison Break over on Fox, in it’s third season, the show just keeps the action up and the…

New Season: CBS’s Kid Nation
Even before it hit the air, Kid Nation gained the title of most controversial new show. For those who’ve missed the promo stuff for this new reality show, they’ve taken 40 kids from all different age and social groups and sent them to a pioneer-era ghost town. They have supplies, an appointed council and a…

New Season: Fox’s Back to You
One of the big-deal sitcoms hitting the small screen this season is Fox’s Back to You, a newsroom comedy starring long-time heavy hitters Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton. Grammer plays Chuck Darling, an ego-centric news anchor who finds himself back at the station he left ten years ago. That, of course, happens after he made…

Beauty and the Geek – Season 4
The new season of Beauty and the Geek has hit the CW. Anyone who knows me, knows that this is one of the few reality shows that I actually think is worth watching. It’s one of the few that doesn’t encourage every-man-for-himself backstabbing. The show is actually about personal development and learning about others. You…
