Well it’s tough to keep up but my schedule is finally starting to settle into place, one more wave of shows (and then perhaps a smattering) to consider…
Sunday
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (ABC, Sun 9/30, 7pm) – I’ve never watched a full episode of this, but spastic/cute Ty Pennington leads a crew to totally build/rebuild the house of someone with an undoubtedly touching story.
- Desperate Housewives (ABC, Sun 9/30, 9pm) – I watched, and enjoyed, this show for the first season but the freshness of the amusing nighttime soapy ladies on Wisteria Lane wore off for me.
- American Dad (Fox, Sun 9/30, 9:30pm) – One of the animated shows that I never got into.
- Brothers & Sisters (ABC, Sun 9/30, 10pm) – So the Walkers are a mess and I think new additions from last season illegitimate daughter/homewrecker and presidential candidate/fiancé are sticking around to stir the pot.
Monday
- Everybody Hates Chris (CW, Mon 10/1, 8pm) – A fictionalized and theoretically more amusing look at Chris Rock’s childhood wasn’t ever quite funny enough to me to keep tuning in.
- Aliens in America (CW, Mon 10/1, 8:30pm) Pilot – A kid not fitting into high school could be funny but maybe adding a Pakistani muslim kid can make it funnier.
- Girlfriends (CW, Mon 10/1, 9pm) – I actually kind of like this gal pal, plus a guy pal, show with their various messed up relationships and jobs and you know, lives.
- The Game (CW, Mon 10/1, 9:30pm) – So the girlfriend of a football star hangs out with the wives of football stars, and I’m not sure what else ‘cuz it didn’t quite grab me.
Tuesday
- Cavemen (ABC, Tues 10/2, 8pm) Pilot – Ok, whatever.
- Carpoolers (ABC, Tues 10/2, 8pm) Pilot – Jerry O’Connell, and three other guys, talk about their varied lives on their way into their varied jobs.
Wednesday
- Pushing Daisies (ABC, Wed 10/3, 8pm) Pilot – This whimsical, comedic, fantastical, romantic murder mystery, where a guy brings the dead back to life to help solve their murders is supposed to be a gem.
Thurday
- 30 Rock (NBC, Thurs 10/4, 8:30pm) – Tina Fey and her crazies in her show behind the show started to get a good groove last season.
- Supernatural (CW, Thurs 10/4, 9pm) – Hunky yet one dimensional brothers hunt the supernatural, and the couple times I watched argued a lot.
Friday
- Friday Night Lights (NBC, Fri 10/5, 9pm) – This show is reportedly great, but even with great writing and characters and whatnot they are still so focused on football that I couldn’t quite deal.

procrastinator – I’m not sure, but I think everybody hates chris show is based on chris rock..SCHOOLED!
so much for multi tasking, good thing i have some loyal readers who are clearly more on it than i, correction made!
and for reshows of these initial episodes (i’m only doing this for first episodes so after that you’re on your own)
– Aliens in America – 10/5 11:30pm Spike
– Girlfriends – 10/7 5pm CW
– The Game – 10/7 5:30pm CW
– Pushing Daisies – 10/5 8pm ABC
– Aliens in America – so we met our socially enept kid, hot younger sister, overly manipulative but good hearted mom, and penny pinching dad, and the kid from pakistan… but it might take another episode to see if there’s any funny there – stay tuned
– Cavemen – ok so they’re cavemen, but couldn’t they try to be interesting as well – pass
– Carpoolers – this show was palatable stupid but i’m not sure i’d watch it again – pass
– * Pushing Daisies – described as delightful, and so it was… its visually interesting approach worked well with the fanciful content of mysteries and the untouchable true love with a wonderful cast – liked it!
Yay! yes…i loved PUD (actually, i’m not that fond of the acronym…ahem). anyhoo…the characters were delightfully quirky, the directing and cinematography was interesting, and the art design was cool and just quirky. yay for a good one.
glad to hear daisies seems to be a favorite of many, it won its timeslot… and yes i am vetoing pud right now, there isn’t even a u in the title which i would let slide if the addition made it cute… i think we have to stick to daisies…
Hi…Man i just love your blog, keep the cool posts comin..holy Wednesday
