Fall TV Preview: Friday Plus Your TiVo Ready Guide

So I couldn't find anything for Saturday but I did find 2 returning Friday night shows, all be it on cable, that I'd classify as required viewing:

Doctor Who- 7pm CST/Sci-Fi: This is the beginning of the second season that has already wrapped up on the BBC.  I must say this new series captures a lot of the humor I loved from the original series as a kid but it's also stepped up the special effects which even as a kid where laughable on the original.  There's a new Doctor this season but the rest of the supporting cast remains so it should be worth checking out…if you're a supergeek.

Battlestar Galactica- 8pm CST/ Sci-Fi: On a slightly less geeky point you've got Battlestar.  A critics top 5 the last two years the show enters season 3 after finishing last year with an Alias like fast forward.  The fact that this is a sci fi show is completely secondary to the character drama.  If you haven't checked out this show do it…now. 

All right with that said I've but together my own viewing schedule for the prime time viewing hours.  In cases where the show is TiVo'd you'll find a notation.

Sunday:7pm: Sunday Night Football
        8pm: Sunday Night Football
        9pm: Sunday Night Football

Monday:7pm: The Amazing Race (TiVo)
        8pm: The Simpsons (TiVo)
        8:30pm: Family Guy (TiVo)
        9pm: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

Tuesday:7pm Gilmore Girls
        8pm: Veronica Mars
9pm: Nip/Tuck

Wednesday:7pm: Jericho
8pm: Lost
9pm: The Nine

Thursday: 7pm: Survivor
8pm: My Name is Earl (TiVo)
8:30pm: The Office (TiVo)
9pm: The OC (TiVo)

Friday: 7pm: Doctor Who
8pm: Battlestar Galactica
9pm: Heroes (TiVo)

Saturday: 7pm: 30 Rock (TiVo)
7:30pm Notes From the Underbelly (TiVo)
8pm: Kidnapped (TiVo)

Now I'm not that anal that I'll stick to this, and some of the shows you'll notice are ones that I simply said are worth checking out so they might not last long plus who has all the time to watch all this and Runway, Laguna, Two a Days etc.
Makes me miss the unemployed days.
