Tuesday Premieres

Yup, there's still season premieres to be, well, premiered:

Carpoolers: This is a new sitcom on ABC. I'm not particularly interested in it. But if you're in love with Jerry O'Connell or something like that, then this show is PERFECT for you. Otherwise, reviews seem to be of the "stay away" nature.

Also of note, tonight marks the continuation of the decline of Western civilization. That's right people, Cavemen premieres tonight. The foul taste of the original pilot is still in my mouth after 3 months and many repeated watchings of the Pushing Daisies pilot. That's how bad it was. Apparently, they did a good deal of reworking. I'm pretty sure the only way they could rework this to be watchable is if they, you know, completely re-did the concept and writing of the show, or, yeah, pretty much everything.

If you rightly choose to stay away from Cavemen and choose to not watch Carpoolers (I can't say rightly because I haven't seen it), tonight also boasts the season finale of Eureka and the continuing seasons of Damages, Beauty and the Geek, NCIS, Reaper, House, Boston Legal, and Law and Order SVU. Happy tubing...

Tuesday Premieres

Whoops, I know I promised this would be earlier, but it kind of slipped my mind. I’ve got a ten-page story due tomorrow, and, well, that kind of took precedence. But here’s a rundown of tonight’s premieres that are worth watching:

NCIS: One of my favorite procedurals comes back tonight. This show may not be particularly high-concept or anything, but its got entertaining characters and a nice sense of familiarity.

Reaper:
My third favorite new show this year, right behind Chuck. It’s about a twenty something slacker who has to track down lost souls for the devil. And it’s funny. Definitely worth a watch. See my review of the pilot Here.

House: Everyone’s favorite grouchy doctor is back tonight, sans team, until he recruits fifty newbies and pits them head to head. Could be very entertaining. I’ll be watching.

Boston Legal:
Sure, the show robbed Gandolfini of his Emmy, but it’s still a good show to watch, if only for the closing arguments which I happen to politically agree with. Plus, it’s got William Shatner.

SVU: My favorite show using the sound “Doink Doink” returns, with the same old same old. An old but good show.

Cane: If none of these other shows float your boat, you can give Cane a shot. But I’m warning you now that it’s not great. See my review of the pilot Here

Also continuing tonight and worth your time are Eureka, Damages, and Beauty and the Geek. Happy watchings…
