October Season Starters: Previews and Predictions
Continuing on with the look at the fall season, we slip quietly into October. (If you’re playing along with the home game, all this is coming from this TV Guide.com calendar which is exceptionally useful.) Pushing Daisies (ABC, 8 p.m., Wednesdays) This show really hit the spot last season. It was whimsical, quirky, uplifting and,…

Difficult Night
Tonight’s one of those nights my digital recorders will be doing overtime. NBC is doing a three hour Heroes extravaganza starting with a catchup lead-in at 8 p.m. and then two hours of new episode. After faltering a bit last season, I still have high hopes for Heroes to wow me in those two new…

TrueBlood – Vampires that don’t suck
The season premier of the new HBO series True Blood quite pleasantly surprised me. After last season’s less than spectacular experience with Moonlight, I was really wary of another vampire series. Even if it was from the same guy who gave us Six Feet Under and starred Anna Paquin. Was it going to be a…

90210 Redux
Along with what I would suspect was millions of people much younger than I am, I tuned in to catch the series premier of 90210 on The CW. I have to say, it was a lot better than I expected. Granted, I’ve got this huge nostalgia bank saved up from the first few years of…

Still More Fall Schedule Previews and Predictions
There are a lot of new and old shows on their way back. A lot of them, I’ve watched or am looking forward to watching. There’s also a bunch I’m dreading or that I’ve given up on. You can make your own plans using this handy dandy calendar of premieres over at TV Guide.com. NCIS…

Fall Schedule Preview and Predictions
It’s that time again! A handful of returners and a smattering of new shows begin showing up this week. TV Guide has a very useful little calendar, so you can plan your viewing (or time shifting) accordingly. As usual, I’ll be watching a whole lot of what shows up. But before that, I think there’s…

Atlantis Sunk
Less than a year after the original Stargate series made the jump to direct-to-video movies, Stargate: Atlantis seems to have gotten the ax. It won’t be completely gone right away, though. Thanks to the odd way the Sci Fi Channel breaks up its seasons, the current (fifth) season will run through January some time. Then…

New slew of remakes and sequels
Anyone who’s been paying attention to things showing up in the movies or on their television over the last few years has probably noticed that everything old is new again–either through a re-make (or re-boot, or re-visioning) or through a sequel. Well, it looks like the coming film and television season won’t change that much.…

Celebrity Circus
Tonight, NBC premiers it’s new “reality” show, Celebrity Circus. I, of course, won’t be watching it. (I’ll be watching a much more worthwhile “reality” show, Ghosthunters.) Here’s the thing about what I’ve seen of this show just from the previews–I’ve already seen a better version of this a decade or three ago. It was called…

Swingtown Starts With Fireworks
After being horribly disappointed by the Thursday night show I actually watched in real time, I was slightly hesitant to queue up Swingtown on the DVR. Very quickly, that hesitation turned to elation. This show could be really good. Yes, sex and swinging was a sizable part of this introductory episode. But it was done…
