Returning Shows
Pushing Daisies (7pm CST, ABC): Thanks to the writer’s strike it seems like forever since we last saw Chuck and the Pie Maker. Oh wait, it was forever ago! Last year’s stand out is finally coming back with tales of misery, sadness and humor.
The mix of dark and light that carried the show through its freshman year was something unique, as was the colorful look of the show. I’m so happy I’ve got HD now cause I’m guessing those daisies will pop.
Premieres October 1st
America’s Next Top Model (7pm CST, CW): I’m hoping that the addition of the transgender model will make for positive TV. Then again we’re talking Tyra here, so the outlook appears dim. Still yet another year of catty comments and dirty looks await us…and I’m just talking about the judges.
Premieres September 3rd
Dirty Sexy Money (9pm CST, ABC): Another of my favorite new shows from 2007 returns after a lengthy strike induced hiatus. The creative team has undergone some changes, so I’m curious if this nighttime soap for adults can maintain the momentum it had last year. Even if it can’t, I think this might be the best cast on TV so I’m guessing there will still be plenty of enjoyment to be gained from watching Peter Krause and Donald Sutherland do the do.
Premieres October 1st
Top Design (9pm CST, Bravo!): After nearly 2 years, Todd Oldham and company are back for a second season. While many saw this Runway spin off as a snooze fest, I was captivated by both the challenges and the judges, especially the oddity that is Kelly Wearstler. I could watch that woman kill fashion for days. After being exposed to the Next Design Star I’m curious if my love of season 1 will stand up after all this time.
Premieres September 3rd
Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Island (9pm CST, MTV): New rules, new players, new drama. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’ve heard all that before. This time however it appears MTV is serious. 16 former MTV reality stars head out to a Survivor-type show this time around. If they actually take alcohol away from them then we might get some Lord of the Flies shit here.
Premieres September 10th
New Shows
Knight Rider (7pm CST, NBC and 8pm CST Saturday, NBC): Yet another retread and this one is harder to muster up excitement for. The TV movie NBC rolled out last year certainly didn’t do the show any favors as it stunk to high heaven. However I’m hoping against hope that KITT makes a proper return. With it airing against Top Model and Daisies, NBC has wisely catered to me, by airing repeats on Saturdays. This is also a strong indication that the execs have seen the show and are worried. Oh well, TV could use less of the Hoff.
Premieres September 24th
