The Good Wife, on CBS, is one of three new shows premiering tonight. Two are up against The Jay Leno Show at 10pm. What choice will you make?
I just need to take a moment to talk about last night's shows. How many of you liked the season premiere of House? I thought it was great. Especially the first hour. The second hour kinda dragged while he "found" himself & then the writers didn't give us any confessionals. (boo-hiss!) The talent show & the affair with the married lady got a little boring & dragged on a bit too. What made this episode was House's roommate Juan Alvarez, or Alvie, as he was called on the ward. Lin-Manuel Miranda was awesome, feeding off of each scheme cooked up by House to get out of there. I can only hope that he gets 'well' & we see him again.
As for Dancing With the Stars, they showcased the guys last night & they all sucked ass! They seriously need to weed out some of this dead weight & quickly too. I can only hope that tonight's 2-hour broadcast, (8pm on ABC) which will show us what the women have to offer, has a little more talent involved or we're in for a disappointing season. I will say this, the Olympic snowboarder dude, Louie Vito, has potential & Donnie Osmond is a crowd-pleaser with those famous family teeth.
I'm, once again, in love with Heroes & I'm actually excited to see what develops this season. The first episode, coming from someone who didn't even watch the last half of last season, was great. I get it! I'm not confused! That alone makes it worth watching again. Please, just keep it up.
Ok, tonight's not as filled with premieres as last night, but the biggie is the return of NCIS, the #1 show in America & it's new spin-off series, NCIS: Los Angeles, both on CBS tonight at 8 & 9pm, respectively.The new LA version stars LL Cool J & Chris O'Donnell out in the field & Linda Hunt handling things from the control room. I can only hope that there are plenty of opportunities for LLCJ to take off his shirt, cuz that's what I want to see! The new series, The Good Wife, with Julianna Margulies, follows at 10pm. This is kinda iffy with me. A politicion's wife suffers public humiliation because her whoredog husband does something scandalous & goes to jail. Now she has to get a job. Thank god she was a lawyer once! Now she can "bring home the bacon...fry it up in a pan", so to speak. Well, it's up against Leno & it's on CBS, so it could make it.
The other new series is on ABC, after Dancing With the Stars & it's up against Leno too, at 10pm. The Forgotten stars Christen Slater, who's giving episodic TV another chance. (remember My Own Worst Enemy) He heads a team of detectives who try to solve what happened to unidentified bodies. These are closed cases the cops were no longer investigating. (kinda like Cold Case, don't ya think?). Well, it's a Jerry Bruckheimer production, so it's got a chance.
NBC has a new episode of The Biggest Loser at 8pm. It's another 2 hours of blood, sweat & tears for the 'losers" who learn how to make healthy meals tonight. Al tells them if there is a big loss during weigh-in, no one will go home this week. Why are all these reality shows going two-hours? Isn't an hour enough time to watch people make fools of themselves for entertainment.
The Jay Leno Show follows at 10pm. His guests tonight are PeeWee Herman (not Paul Reubens) & Amy Poehler. Hey, are you guys watching Jay Leno? Are you DVR'ing his show? From what I can tell, his ratings are going down fast. My ratings guide will give us some insight tomorrow.
The CW has new episodes of 90210 at 8pm & everyone's going on a cruise on Teddy's yacht. Melrose Place airs at 9pm.
