New Shows:
Cougar Town, 8:30pm CST, ABC, Premieres September 23rd
I know the title of this show is horrible. Actually it’s beyond horrible. It’s so bad that I almost discarded the show before it aired. I’m thinking that might be a mistake though given the creative pedigree behind the show. Bill Lawrence, who created the inconsistent Spin City and the at times brilliant Scrubs, is behind this effort about a middle aged woman getting back in the dating game. Throw in Courtney Cox Arquette who dazzled last year on Scrubs and proved she still has her comedic talents and my interest is piqued. A supporting cast that includes Scrubs vet/ Lawrence’s wife Christa Miller, Ian Gomez, and Busy Phillips only adds to the idea that despite the title this show could be damn funny.
Returning Favorites:
America’s Next Top Model, 7pm CST, CW, Premieres September 9th
Unofficially dubbed the Shorty Season, ANTM brings us petite models for the first time ever. The auditions for this season included the infamous melee in NYC where girls went nuts all in the name of Tyra. I’ll be interested to see if that’s addressed at all. Guessing it will be and that Tyra will play the martyr. Also interested to see if she comes up with an opening entrance that somehow mocks the girls’ size. I’ve got images of the two Jays dressed up as munchkins and Tyra coming in as the Good Witch of the West.
South Park, 9pm CST, Comedy Central, Premieres October 7th
Not sure if anyone noticed but South Park was fucking hilarious last year. I hate to say South Park is back because I don’t really think it went anywhere but I’ll certainly say that Matt and Tre’s poking stick is sharpened and they are taking aim at America’s underbelly. I used to think that the show would become stale after a few years but instead they’ve kept it topical and fresh.
On Thin Ice:
nip/tuck, 9pm CST, f/x, Premiers October 14th
I think nip/tuck has already fallen through the ice for me as last season I gave up on it when Christian and Liz started up and Sean went through his 18th midlife crisis. Still this is the beginning of the final season and I’d be lying if I said I don’t care how it ends. Based on the previous years of quality I’m willing to give it a shot but if any combination of Kimber, Sean and Christian are in bed together by episode three then I’m out…for good.

I'm sorry, did you just say that Christian and Liz hooked up? Liz as in the anesthesiologist!? Please tell me you are either joking or I have Liz wrong!
Umm it's a little late but spoiler alert.
I'm extremely behind on my Nip/Tuck but this is really upsetting. I still don't get it.
