TVgasm Prime Time Roundup 2006 - Wednesday

antm

Continuing in our series of previews for the Prime Time schedule of 2006 we come along with Wednesday. All you really need to know is America's Next Top Model and Lost. Everything else is just hoping for second place scraps.

The CW

8 PM : America's Next Top Model (Premieres 9/20) - Now in Cycle 7, America's Next Top Model can probably be considered the cornerstone of The CW franchise and with good reason. Although some have questioned the overall quality of the actual models as the Cycles have passed, there is no way you can deny that this is good television. I'll be recapping the show this fall.

9 PM : One Tree Hill (Premieres 9/27) - "Aside from a love for hoops, it seemed that Lucas and Nathan were two young men with little in common, but they were bound by the fact that they share the same father. The star of the high school basketball team, Nathan was raised to inherit is father's throne amidst popularity and wealth, while his half-brother Lucas was raised amidst modest surroundings, the only child of a single mom." Apparently, this show is great prime time melodrama once you get into it, but who is going to watch this when better shows are on the time slot, like the third time Fashion House airs that week?

FOX

8 PM : Bones (Premiered 8/30) - "DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN (Emily Deschanel) is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institution and writes novels as a sideline. Law enforcement calls on her to assist with murder investigations when the standard methods of identifying a body are useless – when the remains are badly decomposed, burned or destroyed beyond recognition. Brennan’s special expertise lies in her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the victim’s bones." Seriously, Temperance Brennan? Does she have brother named Prohibition? I actually really like this show, and David Boreanaz dos a good job in his role as Brennan's FBI tough guy sidekick.

9 PM : Justice (Premiered 8/30) - "JUSTICE is an unflinching, behind-the-scenes look at how high-profile cases are tried in these media-saturated times. Set in Los Angeles, the entertainment and high-profile trial capital of the world, JUSTICE centers on four brilliant lawyers who, together, tackle the cases that captivate the country and provide compelling fodder for everything from water cooler chit-chat to tabloid glossies to 24-hour news channels. Combining their unique skill sets and personal charisma with the most cutting-edge forensic technology, these lawyers are a formidable presence in any courtroom. When the stakes are as high as they can be, you want Trott, Nicholson, Tuller & Graves in your corner." The best FOX legal drama since Head Cases!

NBC

8 PM : 30 Rock (Premieres 10/11) - "Welcome to the set of The Girlie Show, a fictional television show that serves as the backdrop to Tina Fey's new workplace comedy. Liz Lemon (Fey) is The Girlie Show's head writer and is being pushed to the edge of reason by the show's two stars and a demanding network honcho. In order for Liz to keep her job, and her sanity, she has to balance the egos, the mandates and the neuroses while maintaining The Girlie Show laughs. It won't be easy! In this bold, star-studded comedy, anything can happen!" I don't understand why people think Tina Fey is so hot, but I do think she is funny. Being up against ANTM, I won't watch it, but if they replay it on Bravo, here I come!

8:30 PM : Twenty Good Years (Premieres 10/11) - "This original comedy follows the adventures of two friends who finally realize that life doesn't last forever. John Mason and Jeffrey Pyne are an odd pair to be buddies. They're polar opposites in every way and have a hard time seeing eye to eye. The one thing they can agree on is that they only have twenty good years left to live. In their moment of enlightenment, both men vow to live each day as if it is their last, despite what anyone thinks. It's age meets anarchy and there will be no regrets." Jeffrey Tamboor and John Lithgow? This has the potential to be an awesome combination. If this doesn't work, they can always make a series out of Space Cowboys

Is it me or do the contestants in the picture of America's Next Top Model look rather mannish?

EdHill [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Hastch? Hatch? Oh J-unit, that is so 2005. THis is season 3, we have no hatches. It's all about the widmores, the Others and weird statues.

ANd why does everyone in the Kidnapped photo look really cold?

tvtvtv [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Wow, they do look quite cold. Must be shooting on the Friends set.

jfn [TypeKey Profile Page]:

What about Top Chef??? That's on Wednesdays!! C'mon guys, don't let another season pass you by -- PR it ain't, but Top Chef is a good substitute, and it's tvgasm gold, even if they did do away with the semi-retarded, mouth-full-of-marbles Mrs. Billy Joel. Season looks promising -- I suggest someone get on it, or give me a crack at it!

shaunotred [TypeKey Profile Page]:

No way, J-Unit you are from Horseheads? I grew up in Waverly...

J Unit [TypeKey Profile Page]:

Yes, I'm from the heart of the 607.
