Welcome to TV or Not TV where I’m pleased as punch that things are back in full swing.
This week truly feels like the first week of the television schedule being back in full effect. Every day of the week seems to have a new or returning show making its season premiere and my DVR is nice and full of potential recording conflicts. Life is good once again.
There’s so much that is going on I don’t see any reason to delay it with my opinionated drivel on whatever show is my current flavor of the week. Let’s just get to it.
MONDAY
ABC – 8:00 PM: As much as it pains me to say it Dancing with the Stars is the show everyone is trying to beat tonight.
CBS – 8:00 PM: How I Met Your Mother returns with Barney and Robin being forced to face their relationship. Be sure to have a “sandwich” before this one.
NBC – 8:00 PM: Will the two hour season premiere of Heroes be two hours of pure magic or two hours of my life I’ll never get back? Sadly I predict that latter.
FOX – 8:00 PM: House is in the nuthouse as the show returns. I fully expect several sardonic One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest remarks.
CBS – 8:30 PM: The new Jenna Elfman sitcom is called Accidentally on Purpose. This could also be the excuse used by the TV exec for why he greenlit the show.
ABC – 10:00 PM: Castle is back! Really, that’s all I’ve got on this one because it’s enough.
TUESDAY
CBS – 8:00 PM: The new NCIS Tuesday is here with the season premiere of NCIS followed by the series premiere of NCIS Los Angeles. Man, these law dramas breed like mice now.
NBC – 8:00 PM: This week on The Biggest Loser they try to overcome the second week slump while I continue to try to avoid snacking during the show.
ABC – 10:00 PM: Christian Slater takes another crack at television with the forgotten. Hopefully this will fair better than his last show since the name is an easy set up for a description on its potential ratings.
WEDNESDAY
NBC – 8:00 PM: Mercy is either the title of a new medical drama on NBC or it is what you will be crying after having to endure another new medical drama. Not sure which.Â
FOX – 9:00 PM: Oh man, the affeminite kid is trying out for the football team on Glee. Let the after school special storylines begin!
ABC – 10:00 PM: Sometimes you have to wonder what is going on when a show like Eastwick gets made when it is based on a movie over 20 years old. At least this helps me hold out hope for a Howard the Duck series.
THURSDAY
ABC – 8:00 PM: Everyone on the planet blacks out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds and most get a glimpse of 6 months in the future on FlashForward. What would I see? Me still sittting here reviewing TV shows. Huzzah!
CBS – 9:00 PM: CSI and The Mentalist return as I’m sure Leno’s ratings continue to diminish.
FOX – 9:00 PM: Last season I was a big fan of Fringe. Last week’s season opener felt forced and weird. I’ve got to see if this week is any better.
FRIDAY
The CW – 8:00 PM: Smallville returns with the start of a guest stint by Brian Austin Green. Is this going to lead to Ian Ziering being the big bad of the season?
FOX – 9:00 PM: Dollhouse is back and we find out the ramifications of last seasons finale (and this years budget cuts). I predict story telling awesomeness.
CBS – 9:00 PM: Will Allison wake up from her brain surgery with tonight’s return of Medium on its new network? It would be a long boring season if she didn’t so I’m sure we’ll see something.
SATURDAY
SYFY – 9:0o PM: Guess I cracked wise too soon about Eastwick with tonight’s airing of a remake of Children of the Corn. This time, however, it is scripted by Stephen King himself. Don’t hold out much hope, it’s still on SYFY.
NBC – 11:30 PM: SNL is hoping for ratings gold by snaking Megan Fox and U2 for tonight’s season premiere. I just hope she goes all “I hate Michael Bay” crazy tonight (oh wait, did I just steal the monologue’s thunder?).
SUNDAY
FOX – 8:00 PM: Tonight’s season premiere of The Simpsons is co-written and guest voiced by Seth Rogen. I can’t wait to see how they capture his rugged good looks in a drawn character.
CBS – 8:00 PM: The new season of The Amazing Race has two members of The Harlem Globetrotters. Wait, is it suddenly 1978 again?
FOX – 8:30 PM: Seth McFarlane‘s plans at network domination come one step closer with the premiere of The Cleveland Show followed by Family Guy and American Dad.
ABCÂ – 9:00 PM: The girls of Wysteria Lane are back and we finally find out who Mike Delfino got hitched to on Desperate Housewives. Drea DeMateo also moves in to the neighborhood as the new blood of this season.
SHO – 9:00 PM: America’s favorite serial killer Dexter returns and is now the proud papa of a brand new baby boy. I can’t wait to see him making the emergency midnight grocery run for diapers, formula, heavy duty garbage bags and duct tape.
– Will Wilkins loved the Emmys and is proud to be a sofa monkey.

I feel for your having to watch almost every show on tv, must be odd to be paid and required to do it though, still must get a little tiring.
