Hello everyone, my name is Will, and I’m a TV-aholic.

Even though contstant TV viewing is my obsession, right now I’m plenty distracted by in impending move (on October 1st no less). This means I’ve been packing when I should be watching and in far too rare of an instance watching when I should be packing.

What does this mean? It means I’ve got very little to say about TV from last week outside of what I said in the Morning After columns published last week. I encourage you to go back and read them if you haven’t already.

I will, however, comment on Desperate Housewives. I think it is a very interesting move by the producers to advance the story line of all characters by five years. Although this device isn’t completely original it is nice to add some mystery to characters that we already know instead of having to wonder about the blatanlty new characters we’ve been handed in previous seasons. That being said I think this approach also makes the show some what disjointing to watch and I’m not completly sure if I’ll be able to stick with it. We’ll see.

Now let’s go straight to the thick of it, shall we?

MONDAY

NBC – 8:00 PM: Chuck was one of the more surprisingly entertaining shows to premiere last season. I’ve been looking forward to its premiere, even though I still don’t understand how the information in Chuck’s head hasn’t already gotten stale. Heck, the stuff I knew even four days ago is useless today.

FOX – 8:00 PM: I don’t know how a cyborg can have an origin story but tonight we get one on for Cameron on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Let’s hope it’s not 42 minutes of footage of those automotive assembly line machines.

CBS – 8:30 PM: After last seasons great stunt casting of Britney Spears on How I Met Your Mother they follow up with another power house bit of stunt casting with… Regis Philbin? Um, ok.

TUESDAY

NBC – 8:00 PM: The weight loss partners go to the Grand Canyon on The Biggest Loser: Families. Is it me or are they sending mixed signals taking the contestants to a place where sheer size is supposed to be beautiful and inspiring?

MTV – 10:00 PM: The only thing sadder about the fact that there is a show called Paris Hilton’s My New BFF are the people that you see on the show trying to actually be the winner.

WEDNESDAY

ABC – 8:00 PM: If you are like me you have been dying to hear Jim Dale narrate to us the goings on in the life of the Pie Maker on Pushing Daisies.

NBC – 9:00 PM: Another season of America’s Got Talent comes to an end tonight and yet again I must ask, is this title of this show accurate?

ABC – 10:00 PM: Dirty Sexy Money tries to come back full force tonight by adding Lucy Liu to the cast.

THURSDAY

ALL NETWORKS – 9:00 PM Eastern / 6:00 PM Pacific: It’s the Attack of the Veeps with the Vice Presidential candidates first televised debate.

FRIDAY

CBS – 8:00 PM: Original TV prankster and Scream alumni Jamie Kennedy joins the cast of Ghost Whisperer as another person who can see dead people (not caused by a psycho with a knife).

CARTOON – 9:00 PM: Even though the screen version of Star Wars: The Clone Wars left a bad taste in many a fan boy mouth, the small screen version is more character driven and easier to chew on. We all just need to accept the fact that Lucas is making this for the kids, not us (as if the prequels didn’t let us know that enough).

CBS – 9:00 PM: The premiere of The Ex List is tonight and we get to see Bella (played by Elizabeth Reaser) chase down everyone she’s dated to try and find the Mr. Right that a psychic tells her she’s already gone out with. Naturally the psychic can’t give more details except that Bella has only one year to refind the guy.

SATURDAY

CMT – 9:00 PM: Six words always light up my heart, My Bid Redneck Wedding’s Season Premiere.

SHO – 11:00 PM: Louis C.K.: Chewed Up will give you stuff to laugh about if you are nearing or post-40.

SUNDAY

SHO – 9:00 PM: Really, do I need to tell you that you need to be watching Dexter? Our favorite serial killer is going to be a daddy for gosh sakes!

ABC – 9:00 PM: If you aren’t frustrated or baffled by last week’s Desperate Housewives then you can try to give it another shot tonight. I might be out after this one. Not sure.
