Some quick midseason TV notes:
- At long last, new episodes of BBC America’s What Not To Wear start up Tuesday, Mar. 9 at 9 p.m.
- UPN’s CGI-animated comedy Game Over, about the Smashenburns, a family whose day jobs are video game characters, premieres Wednesday, Mar. 10 at 8 p.m.
- Yes, I will check out Playing It Straight on Fox and hope it’s not too much of a train wreck. Which it probably will be. The premiere is Friday, Mar. 12 at 8 p.m. I’ll also take a look at The Help on the WB (Friday, Mar. 5 at 9:30 p.m.), if only for Al Santos. I mean, come on.
- USA is remaking the British series Touching Evil (Friday, Mar. 12). Eh, could be interesting.
- Ioan Gruffud, maybe best known as A&E’s Horatio Hornblower, comes back to the small screen in a legal drama set in the year 2030, Century City on CBS (Tuesday, Mar. 16 at 9 p.m.).
Anything else new I should watch out for? I know it’s not an exciting season, but hey, the TiVo is always ready and willing. By the way, this Saturday night (Mar. 6), Colin Firth hosts Saturday Night Live with musical guest Norah Jones. Thanks to Rajani for the heads up.
One reply on “TV notes”
I love What Not To Wear. My favorite episode is when they dress the husband of the woman they had done previously.
