The CW brings back Beverly Hills 90210, now simply 90210. I never watched the original, and I can't think of any reason I'll be watching this show. (CW, 8pm, two hour special.)

On NBC, another ten acts perform for America on America's Got Talent. (8pm or 9pm depending on your areas coverage of the Republican National Convention, NBC, two hours.) It's followed by a Dateline NBC.

ABC has Wipeout and the what-the-hell-were-they-thinking Wanna Bet.

Fox repeats House tonight -House's Head and Wilson's Heart - which were two of the best episodes of the series. And of most television after the strike.

CBS has an NCIS repeat - part one of the season finale. That's followed by Big Brother (which I don't really follow - Dan should get ousted soon, if you ask me.) - Hey, I said I don't 'really' follow.

Below are some of the premier dates for the Fall 2008 TV season. I'll add more as I find out the dates.

Seriously, how long is the audition/callback process? It's been months now since the show started, right? And they just finished the callbacks?

I lost interest a long time ago. (The stupid audience screaming didn't help much.) And my lose of interest has nothing to do with the talent. From what I've seen, there are a lot of people who are amazing at what they do. (Those young kids, while heartwarming enough, don't do anything for me - I really hope they're gone soon. Harsh, probably.)

So does NBC just have nothing else to put on the air that they have to elongate the process? And now we have a couple weeks of the Olympics... Will AGT ever finish up?

I've been getting some comments reminding me that America's Got Talent's new season starts tonight.

So, who's glad it's back? Is it better than American Idol? Do you think a singer is going to win this year? Or do we get a new twist on the great Terry Fator?

Can someone please, please, tell me what was so great about the Knight Rider tv movie? Why on earth would NBC actually consider turning this into a series? Was it really that good? Did I miss something?

I honestly thought it was utter crap. Sure, the car was pretty neat, but you need more than a cool car to make a show work. And this 'pilot' didn't have anything more to give.

Let me list the problems I had with the episode.

• The Lead Actor. He was bland. Really, they should have gotten someone with, oh, charisma. Or a woman driver. That would have been different and interesting.
• It was a 2 hour car chase. Nothing more.
• The bad guys. Stereotypical. It was like the writers took out "TV and Movie Bad Guys for Dummies" and just copied right out of it.
• Predictable. Like you didn't see the end coming.
• As bland as the leading man was, the rest of the cast was pretty bland, too.
• You need emotional connections to the characters. Instead, we get a dull car voice and lots of technology. That doesn't cut it

Journeyman was a show that I thought would have been canceled early in its life. In fact, I believe that it would have been if there wasn't any threat of a writers strike. It's a confusing time-travel story starring Kevin McKidd as reporter/unsuspecting time-traveler Dan Vassar. The first few episodes (what I caught of them) were a confused mess. As with any intricately plotted story, few answers were given. But I've been watching this show more an more over the last few weeks and I have to say I'm enjoying it more and more.

I don't think I've ever seen an episode of the original The Bionic Woman. I know that the heroin, Jaime Sommers, ran in slo-mo, and that she was part cyborg. I don't think she was that popular of a character back then, and that made me wonder why they'd bother to bring her back.

So when I heard about the Bionic Woman remake, I had to ask myself why? Then I heard that David Eick, an executive producer of the new Battlestar Galactica, was helming this series, and I had a bit more confidence in the project.

When I first heard about Life, I was certain it would fail. It's about a cop who was framed for a crime and sent away for twelve years. He's exonerated, given a huge settlement, and he goes back to work as a cop in order to find the people responsible for putting him in jail in the first place.

It stars Damian Lewis (who?) as that cop (Charles Crews), and Sarah Shahi as his partner (Dani.)

Looks like NBC is bringing back Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

It's on the schedule for Thursday May 24 at 10pm (the ER timeslot.)

Thursdays seems like a better day for the show, anyway.

Don't get your hopes up, though. It wont be back next year.

I'm not the biggest Heroes fan. In fact, I've only seen the last few episodes. But I did catch tonights episode set 5 years in the future. In it Hiro and Ando meet the future Hiro after the bomb (Sylar?) went off in New York City.

Now, maybe I watch too much science fiction, and maybe I'm too much of a Dr. Who fan, or perhaps I've seen too many Stargate episodes, but what happened (traveling to the future as Hiro and Ando did) shouldn't/couldn't have the same results as the episode showed.

You see, what Hiro and Ando experienced was an alternate future. It couldn't have been the 'real' future.

Why? Because Hiro was in the future.
