I’ve been taking this lull to try to polish off my X-Files viewing but of course there is more left than I thought.

• Everything is Copy (HBO) Monday, 9pm – A look a Nora Ephron that’s rumored to be well done.
• Heartbeat (NBC) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 9pm – This heart surgeon medical drama with Melissa George just looks bad and I haven’t heard anything critical to dissuade me of that.
• You, Me, Her (Dir) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 9pm – A married couple adds an escort to their romantic life, ok.
• The Catch (ABC) Series Premiere, Thursday, 10pm – Willing to have some hopes for this Peter Krause/Mireille Enos Con Man/PI show.

So I’ve stopped noting season premieres for the most part but with streaming curious how they all work. For normal TV I just have a season pass set, so if it’s a show I watch I get it when it comes back but streaming… Netflix seems to send me an email (which is probably a preferences thing) and I know if I tune in they will most likely, but not always, show it in the big banner. Since I’m not a pay user of Amazon or Hulu, or any other random service, I wonder how well they prompt you? Who can keep up with it all?

• Damien (A&E) Series Premiere, Monday, 10pm – The Omen grows up, not supposed to be good at all.
• Little Big Shots (NBC) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 10pm – Steve Harvey shows of cute kids with talents.
• Of Kings and Prophets (ABC) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 10pm – One of those period things, ruler of Israel, future leader, meh.
• The Victoria’s Secret Swim Special (CBS) Wednesday, 9pm – Not sure this needs explanation.
• Underground (WGN) Series Premiere, Thursday, 10pm – As in underground railroad, this additional scripted drama on this network should be worth a look.
• Bosch (Am) Season Premiere, Friday, 3am – Since I know peeps have their eye on this one.
• Flaked (Net) Series Premiere, Friday, 3am – Will Arnett comedy always means I’m intrigued.
• The Characters (Net) Series Premiere, Friday 3am – 30 min sketch comedy put on by new peeps each time, not my bag but who knows.
• Party Over Here (Fox) Series Premiere, Saturday, 11pm – More sketch comedy.

I went on a miniseries binge to clear some TiVo backlog, catching Wolf Hall and Tut, both entertaining though different in tone, similar in theme on those silly royals and their need to birth heirs. I’m still not paying for Hulu or Prime but will check out Love when it becomes available.

• 11.23.63 (Hulu) Series Premiere, Monday, 3am – The Stephen King book gets adapted.
• Grammys (CBS) Monday, 8pm – Songs and singers and stuff.
• The New Yorker Presents (Am) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 3am – This dabbling of items might like the magazine sit in my backlog.
• Gonzaga (HBO) Series Premiere, Tuesday, 10pm – They turn to take a look at college basketball.
• Join or Die with Craig Ferguson (Hist) Series Premiere, Thursday, 11pm – Craig sits down to chat with folks, he says it’s more discussion style than interview.
• Cooked/Love (Net) Series Premiere, Friday, 3am – A four part docufood series with Michael Pollen and a new romantic comedy from Judd Apatow.
• The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60/Journey to the Oscars (ABC) Sunday, 8/9pm – A look at the parks with some tributes and some of the actors that are on their way to gold.
• An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows (NBC) Sunday, 9pm – I think this is the friends reunion they keep talking about.

I sort of enjoyed the abbreviated list from last week so going to try out the new format. Mostly this means limiting a lot of season premieres (if you watch it assumption is you’ve got it) and a lot of the reality series premieres (I mean really…).

• Lost Girl (Syfy) – Winter Premiere, Monday 10pm – I still enjoy this campy show and so tuning into the final run (my TiVo doesn’t always pick these up as new because of some sort of pre-airing)
• The People vs. OJ Simpson (Fx) – Series Premiere, Tuesday 10pm – When I first heard about this I couldn’t imaging wanting to watch but rumors are it’s actually good.
• Madoff (ABC) – Miniseries Premiere, Wednesday 8pm – Two parter this week with Richard Dreyfuss as Bernie, probably a skip on my list.
• Animals (HBO) – Series Premiere, Friday 11:30pm – A new animated for adults by the Duplass Brothers looks at the likes of rats, pigeons, bedbugs and their issues, potential to be amusing.
• Super Bowl (CBS) – Sunday 3:30pm – Go sports teams!
• Puppy Bowl (AnPl) – Sunday – Pregame seems to start at noon with official play at 3pm.

Enjoy!

Technical difficulties led to an abbreviated list but here are some new options:

• Lucifer – Monday at 9pm (Fox) – The devil as crime fighter sidekick, not too promising
• Magicians – Monday at 9pm (Syfy) – Based on some books, this series reportedly has some promise
• Recovery Road – Monday at 9pm (Free) – The latest from no longer ABCFamily looks at a high schooler in rehab, will probably be more poignant than Valley of the Dolls
• Outsiders – Tuesday at 9pm (WGN) – The clans at working fighting for something reportedly has some sparks of quality
• You, Me, and the Apocalypse – Thursday at 8pm (NBC) – Jenna Fischer, Megan Mullally, and Rob Lowe and world destruction of course worth checking out

The procrastinator lists items that may not be on your regular season pass, though notation does not imply recommendation. Times noted are typically PST.
