new and noteworthy tv: 9/6-9/12

Summer’s not officially over but I’m starting to sense fall. Procrastinator picks are underlined.

Monday

  • CBS Fall Preview (CBS, 8:30) – Hawaii 5-0 and whatnot.
  • Hoarders (A&E, 9/10pm) Season Premiere – There is some serious possums running through the house, no place to move, calling child services hoarding in the previews.
  • Thintervention with Jackie Warner (Brav, 10:15pm) Series Premiere – Jackie Warner tries to get some folks thin.

Tuesday

  • 360 Sessions (IFC, 6pm) Series Premiere – David Gray guests on what I assume is a well rounded look at him.
  • Rehab (Tru, 10pm) Season Premiere – I think this show is actually a look at partying not rehab.
  • Sons of Anarchy (Fx, 10pm) Season Premiere – Can’t wait to see all the trouble they get into and out of, Jax and the gang’s struggles to do the right thing pull me in as much as the action.

Wednesday

  • ANTM (CW, 8pm) Season Premiere – I just can’t stay away from this show, though I don’t seem to care about the girls and Tyra is unbearable, wait why do I watch this?
  • Hellcats (CW, 9pm, repeats Fri) Series Premiere – This looks like a cheesy Bring it On but I can’t resist checking out the cheese.
  • Inside the NFL (Show, 9pm) Season Premiere – I wanna say they look at the NFL.
  • Terriers (Fx, 10pm, repeats various) Series Premiere – One of the new shows that I’m genuinely interested in seeing, critics are saying good things and I dig Donal Logue, seeing him in an edgy, comic buddy, PI type show seems like a good fit.
  • Black Gold (Tru, 10pm) Season Premiere – The gang gets new management in this reality fare.
  • The Day Before (Sund, 10pm) Season Premiere – The season starts with a look at Diane von Furstenberg.

Thursday

  • The Vampire Diaries (CW, 8pm) Season Premiere – I sampled this series last season but couldn’t get into the latest vampire brooding stares and small town goings on.
  • Sunday Night Football (NBC, 8:30pm) Season Premiere – Also on Sunday.
  • Nikita (CW, 9pm, repeats Fri) Series Premiere – Not sure what to make of this latest take on Le Femme Nikita based on the previews but it’s getting enough good buzz, as is Maggie Q as our rogue assassin back for revenge.
  • Destination Truth/Beast Legends (Syfy, 9/10pm) Season/Series Premiere – Paranormal and then beasty investigations.
  • Watch What Happens (Brav, 10pm) Season Premiere – An interview show that kicks off with some of the ‘real’ housewives.

Friday

  • Stand Up to Cancer (Various, 8pm) – Celebrities and performers on this fundraiser.
  • Four Weddings (TLC, 10pm) Season Premiere – Brides judge each other’s weddings to win a dream honeymoon.
  • Fashion Police (E!, 10:30pm) Series Premiere – Joan Rivers dishes.
  • Martin Lawrence Presents 1st Amendment Stand-Up (Starz, 11pm) Season Premiere – Martin brings in the comics.

Saturday

  • Cops/America’s Most Wanted (Fox, 8/9pm) Season Premieres – Can you believe these shows have been on for 23 and 24 seasons respectively?
  • Dogs 101 (AnPl, 8pm) Season Premiere – More doggie info.

Sunday

  • US Open (CBS/ESPN2, various) – The Grand Slam concludes with the women’s final on Saturday and men’s Sunday.
  • MTV VMAs (MTV, 9pm) – Chelsea Handler hosts, let the Kanye West jokes end.
  • Over the Limit (Tru, 10pm) Season Premiere – It’s like Cops I think.
  • The World of Jenks (MTV, 11pm) Series Premiere – Andrew Jenks is a filmmaker who follows strangers to show insight into their worlds.

Since scheduling come fall gets difficult and networks sometimes rerun pilots I’ll try to note repeat airings for new shows, all times are typically PST.

  1. to steal from other reviewers Cats & Dogs night was a mixed bag:
    – Hellcats: rah, rah, blah – tune out
    – Terriers: nice mix of buddy cop, loser makes good, weekly case with some overarching drama (and there was even a dog to placate those who thought it was about terriers) – tune in
    and…
    – Nikita: it was like Dollhouse but without the amnesia, and the intellect, and I’m not as in love with Maggie Q as the populous seems to be, may stick around to see development – stay tuned
