Oh yeah, baby!!!
Probably the coolest cast on TV
Battlestar Galactica premiered on the Sci Fi Channel this past Friday. If you haven't been watching it I suggest you tune in. This show just keeps getting better and better. For reasons that I won't get into, I'm not going to write recaps on this, although I will praise it over and over. If you do have questions about the show, feel free to ask.
The kids loved him!! He has to be a good guy, right?

LOST finally returns after being gone since the Carter administration. Starting at 8pm there's a clip show for those of you who have forgotten what happened last year. Then at 9pm we are treated to a fresh episode. Look for the background on the enigmatic Mr. Eko to finally be revealed, but we know not all of it.
Invasion also returns tonight. I'm waiting for this to come out on iTunes so I can watch it at the gym. I haven't been keeping up on it, but as sci-fi shows go, it's a good one.
Criminal Minds also returns tonight. I think this is one of the most underrated shows out there. It does well enough, but up against LOST it probably isn't watched as much as it should be.
E-Ring with Benjamin Bratt is also on at 8pm. I'm gonna stick to catching this in reruns because it's generally stand alone episodes anyway.
No, I didn't make a mistake, this is really how the poster is
My Name is Earl moved to Thursday nights last week and did fairly well. Don't forget about it.
The Crumbs premieres tomorrow as well, and I have to say, I saw the pilot and it was pretty funny. If you're not into The Office, and are already Tivo'ing CSI, you may want to check it out.
CSI also started last week, and unfortunately I haven't been able to watch it yet. Here's hoping it's better than the last few new ones last year.
ER, of course returned last week and this week we finally get to see why the hell Neela and Gallant were arguing.
Friday, January 13th
Muuhhhaaaa, Friday the 13th.
Ghost Whisperer is back as well, so if you haven't already, try and sit through an episode. Jennifer Love Hewitt isn't as bad as I expected her to be.
8 FRAKIN' MONTHS!!!!!
SUNDAY JANUARY 15TH!!!!!!!!
This is the day people! We have two shows coming on that I want to get down on my knees and kiss the ground for.
Grey's Anatomy is back with all new episodes and we get to see if Alex passed the boards yet.
And... my hands are trembling just writing this, 24 is back!!! After nearly 8 months without disavowed, presumed dead Jack Bauer, he's risen again. Don't forget that this season's premiere is a 4 hour, count them 4 HOUR, priemere starting on Sunday night at 8pm for two hours, and then continuing the very next night, Monday, for TWO MORE HOURS. Whew, I gotta catch my breath I'm so excited. If you aren't watching this show, try to at least watch the 4 hour premiere. If after that you still don't like it, call a doctor because YOU'RE CRAZY.
Monday, January 16th
Of course the continuation of the 4 HOUR premiere of 24 continues at 8pm.
Tuesday, January 17th
American Idol returns on Fox. I'm actually excited about this show. Especially the first few episodes with fools trying to sing.
Wednesday, January 18th
Skating With the Stars premieres on Fox. I'm not saying this is the best television out there, but it sure is gonna be funny to see them fall on their asses. Hahaha.
Upcoming returning/new shows...
At the beginning of February we'll be treated to the next editions of Survivor and The Amazing Race. Thank the Gods The Amazing Race will be back to it's normal self, with two person teams going around the world. No more Amazing Race: Boring Edition.
The cast of Windfall
In March we see the return of Alias. Unfortunately that's the last time I'm gonna say that. The show's been axed and won't be returning after this year. What we can bet on though is J.J. Abrams giving us superb shows from then until the series finale in May. I've heard there's going to be tons of familiar faces returning, let's just hope Michael Vaughn is one of them! And not in some damned dream sequence. Also in March are two shows I watched months ago when the new pilots came out. One is called The Unit and it's going to be on CBS. It stars Dennis Haysbert, our wonderful one and only true President on 24 as the leader of a special forces/ops green beret Texas Ranger type group. I recommend giving it a try at least through the first episode. Next is an NBC show called Windfall. It's about a group of friends who win the biggest lottery drawing in the state's history, and what happens once they do. Both of these pilots were good, and as long as the network didn't re-shoot them, I think they have a chance of getting an audience.
If I've forgotten any, that means I don't care about them. But if you care about them and want to tell me, definitely let me know.
This one's for you RG
