TV Patrol: Tuesday’s “Glee”ful

Yes Gleeks… it’s the 2nd season of Glee (FOX). I’m sure it will be the night’s biggest winner…. even though it’s up against The Biggest Loser which is NBC’s best ratings grabber. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top. Let’s check out tonight’s fare. There are two new sitcoms & one new drama. Four returning shows also premiere tonight…. not quite as big of a night as Monday, but greatly anticipated just the same.

8pm:

The Biggest Loser (NBC) begins it’s 10th season. Bob & Jillian visit 7 cities & choose 3 “losers” from each one. The theme this year is “Pay it Forward!” I still find this series to be a form of cruelty to fat people & should be outlawed.

Glee (FOX) This new season brings us back from Regionals as losers, but worse than that is the budget cuts that threaten to eliminate the Glee Club from the school curriculum entirely. OMG…Noooooo!

NCIS (CBS) In it’s season 8 opener, the cliffhanger from last year is resolved & we find out if Gibbs’ dad (Ralph Waite) is dead. The Reynosa cartel is still targeting his family & those closest to him so Gibbs needs to step it up to protect them all. I’ve never seen this show, so I don’t have a clue….

Dancing With the Stars (ABC) It’s the first “Results” show of the season. Why it’s in two parts is beyond me. The second half plays out at 9pm. I didn’t know it took so long to eliminate one person… I predict David Hasselhoff.

9pm:

Raising Hope (FOX) This new sitcom is all about dysfunctional families…. one in particular. Written by Greg Garcia from “My Name is Earl”, it has alot of that shows humor. Jimmy, a 23 yr. old… is a going nowhere loser, who still lives with mom & dad. He finds out he’s a daddy & is in charge of raising Hope, his new little daughter. Cloris Leachman guest stars as Maw Maw, the matronly granny in this 1st episode.

NCIS: LA (CBS) The second season starts out with an agent vanishing while on an assignment. Eric Christian Olsen gets a full-time job joining the cast this year. CBS will air another new episode at 10pm, so you will get a full 3-hours of NCIS.

9:30pm:

Running Wild (FOX) Another new sitcom premieres & this one has a familiar face. Will Arnett from “Arrested Development” not only stars but is also the executive producer of this “romantic” comedy. He’s a rich playboy & his eyes are on his childhood sweetheart, played by Keri Russell. She’s a humanitarian  who’s fighting the very oil company that makes him so rich. See the hilarity?

10pm:

Detroit 187 (NBC) A new drama/cop show, the Detroit homicide department has their own “inner demons” or so the descriptions say. Filmed in the city itself is a plus & it promises to have lots of murders to investigate. I will DVR it for a late night viewing. The show will be followed by Parenthood at 10pm.

That’s it for tonight kids. I’m watching Glee & checking out FOX’s two new sitcoms. I will record DWTS so I can FF to thru it & see who gets the boot. Tomorrow is the return of ABC’s sitcom hits… The Middle, Modern Family & Cougar Town with a new one thrown in. Better With You will have it’s debut. More on them tomorrow.
