The Olympics are done so it’s time to start tuning back into some nonathletic tv watching, procrastinator picks are underlined.
Monday
- Today (NBC, 7am) – The cast of Eight is Enough reunite!
- Bachelor/After the Rose (ABC, 8/10pm) – Will he pick the gal everyone hates? Will it be true love? Who will the new bachelorette be? The two Bachelor fans I know will tell me the answers to those questions.
- Rules of Engagement (CBS, 8:30pm) Season Premiere – This is one of those shows that isn’t bad, it just isn’t quite good and makes you wonder how Better Off Ted and others don’t get more time.
- Law & Order (NBC, 9/10pm) – Now that we’re filling up that 10 o’clock hour again we’re just going to fill it with twice as much L&O, but I’m sort of back into this season.
Tuesday
- Parenthood (NBC, 10pm) Series Premiere – I too am tired of the previews but who can resist a peek at Lorelai Gilmore and Nate from Six Feet Under being in the same family?
- Southland (TNT, 10pm) Season Premiere – By season premiere what they mean is they’re actually going to air the episodes NBC didn’t bother with.
Wednesday
- Law & Order: SVU (NBC, 9/10pm) – Back to back drama with Mischa Barton and Kathy Griffin.
- Ghost Hunters (Syfy, 9pm) Season Premiere – The 100th episode heads to Alcatraz for an ‘interactive event’.
- The Oprah Winfrey Oscar Special (ABC, 10pm) – Stars interview stars and Oprah may be sealing the deal on taking over Barbara Walters spot on Oscar night next year.
- The Locator (WE, 10pm) Season Premiere – There’s locating, and then there’s reuniting.
- Nip/Tuck (Fx, 10pm) Series Finale – I haven’t watched an episode but I hear the six year run was an uneven but good one.
Thursday
- The Office (NBC, 9/9:30pm) – Babies apparently take an hour to deliver.
- The Real Housewives of New York City (Brav, 11pm) Season Premiere – They live in New York and I think they drink and argue.
Friday
- Who Do You Think You Are (NBC, 8pm) Series Premiere – Genealogy celebrity style.
- Independent Spirit Awards (IFC, 11pm) – Eddie Izzard hosts.
Saturday
- Last chance to go out and catch an Oscar nod before they tell you what was the best.
Sunday
- Barbara Walters Special (ABC, 8:30pm pst) – Barb is cutting this one off after 29 years, because 30 would be too predictable, so tune in for Sandra Bullock and Mo’Nique, note this is before the Oscars East Coast and whenever they end West Coast.
- Oscars (ABC, 5/5:30pm pst) – Countdown, then the real deal, here’s to winning my Oscar pool…
