tv

Friday, September 12

ABC
American Latino Media Arts Awards (m) followed by 20/20 (10pm). 20/20 should have the Governor Sarah Palin interview.

CBS
Ghost Whisperer (m and 9pm, repeat) followed by Numb3rs (10pm)

CW
Friday Night Smackdown (m)

Fox
Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader (m, Season Premier)
Don't Forget the Lyrics (9pm, Season Premier)

NBC
America's Toughest Jobs (m, encore)
Dateline NBC (9pm, two hours, new)

SciFi
Stargate: Atlantis (10pm, NEW) - the series has been canceled, so enjoy it while it's still on!

USA

My Pick:
Flashpoint (10pm, CBS)

It's mostly a rerun night, but Fox gives us two new episodes of shows that, really, don't matter much.

ABC
Ugly Betty (m, repeat) - Justin's school dance
Grey's Anatomy (9pm, repeat) Meredith's still in therapy.
Private Practice (10pm, repeat)

CBS
Big Brother (m, NEW) BB10 is almost over
CSI: CSI (9pm, repeat)
Flashpoint (10pm, new?) My favorite summer show.

CW
Smallville (m, repeat) and Supernatural (9pm, repeat)

FOX
Hole in the Wall (m, NEW) - This time, it's an hour long Hole.

Now that was an intense season premier! (I sure hope the editor gets an Emmy nod for that opening sequence! And the score, too!)

And finally John Connor grows some balls! It was really pathetic how in the first season he was always crying to his mother. Now he takes charge. It's a brand new John (with hair cut- the Samson of the title) ready to lead.

I do have to say he puts too much faith in Cameron (the Delilah? How will she take away his 'power'? Will John's love for her be misplaced, causing Derek or Charlie their lives?)

My Pick:
Bones (Fox, 9pm)

I'm going to file "Do Not Disturb" into the "Will Not Watch" category. The show just looks stupid. (9:30, Fox)

ABC
Standard (rerun) fare with WifeSwap (m) and Supernanny (9pm). Followed by Primetime.

CBS
Greatest American Dog is new (and still on the air! - m) but Criminal Minds (9pm) and CSI:New York (10pm) are repeats.

CW
America's Next Top Model at m. Something else at 9 (repeat of 90210?)

Fox
Bones is new (the outhouse episode they've been plugging, methinks.)

The late edition of tvTonight!

My Pick:
Fringe (m, Fox, 90 minute series premier)

ABC
Tonight we get a Wipeout two-fer of Big Balls- m and 9pm. Then a Primetime episode.

CBS
Big Brother 10 is almost over! Is Dan still in the game? (m)
Fashion Rocks (9pm, 2 hours). I have no idea what this is all about. But I'll miss it nonetheless.

CW
90210 (m, New)
Privileged (9pm, Series Premier) catch it before its canceled! (I don't have high hopes for this show.)

Fox

Just saw the first episode of Fox's Hole in the Wall. I thought it was okay - and it did surprise me that it was a half hour, going faster than I thought it did.

However, I have a feeling that this show will get real old, real quick. It's just people going through holes in walls, or getting pushed into a pool of water. There's really nothing more to it than that.

My Picks:
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles (Season Premier, m, Fox)
Gossip Girl (m, CW)

Also On:
ABC
High School Musical: Get in the Picture (new, m)
CMS Music Festival (Special, 9pm, two hours)

CBS
Big Bang Theory (repeat, m)
How I Met Your Mother (repeat, 8:30)
Two and a Half Men (repeat, 9pm)
New Adventures of Old Christine (repeat, 9:30)
CSI:Miami (repeat, 10pm)

CW
Gossip Girl (new, m)
One Tree Hill (new, 9pm)

Fox
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (Season Premier, m)
Prison Break (new, 9pm)

NBC
Deal or No Deal (new, m)

It seems that Eric Millegan, who played Zach on Bones, will be returning for a few episodes this year.

At the end of last season Zach was revealed to be a cannibalistic serial killer's apprentice (and a murderer). I've written on how I hated that. So I'm a little conflicted on his return. I loved the character Zach, but having him on the show just feels like a slap in the face.

Tonight is the Stand Up to Cancer Fundraiser - ABC, CBS, NBC at m

Fox has a new 2 hour Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader and the CW does its SmackDown.

At 9pm is America's Funniest Home Videos on ABC, CBS Fall preivew and a repeat of a New Adventure of Old Christine. NBC has a Football special.

At 10pm on ABC is 20/20 and NBC has a Dateline. CBS has the final episode of Swingtown (The season finale, and, I think, the series finale.)
