I've been slow with posting these but here is what The CW is offering this fall:

MONDAY

8:00-9:00 PM GOSSIP GIRL

9:00-10:00 PM ONE TREE HILL

The CW will continue to struggle. Neither one of these shows perform well. Even after it's massive media blitz for the return of GG it still did about the same as it did before the strike.


TUESDAY

8:00-9:00 PM 90210 (New Series)

9:00-10:00 PM SURVIVING THE FILTHY RICH (New Series)

I personally don't hold much hope for 90210. I'll give it a chance because I used to watch the original, my guess is I won't watch it a second time, but hopefully I'll be surprised. I have no desire to watch Surviving the Filthy Rich.


WEDNESDAY

8:00-9:00 PM AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL

9:00-10:00 PM STYLISTA (New Series)

When America's Next Top Model is one of your biggest hits you know you're in trouble. This night will be good for CW but awful compared to the other networks.

THURSDAY

8:00-9:00 PM SMALLVILLE

9:00-10:00 PM SUPERNATURAL

This will be a steady but again very low night for them.

FRIDAY

8:00-8:30 PM EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS

8:30-9:00 PM THE GAME

9:00-10:00 PM AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL (Encore Presentation)

Hopefully they will promot Chris and The Game. They both did pretty well when it was on UPN, The CW has pretty much destroyed these two shows. Hopefully on a weak night they will finally find a decent sized audience.

MONDAY:

8:00 p.m. "Dancing with the Stars"
9:30 p.m. "Samantha Who?"
10:00 p.m. "Boston Legal"

Monday DWTS is declining but still solid. Samantha Who does well as long as it's after DWTS, so it will be okay until after DWTS ends. Boston Legal is going to finish up in I believe 13 episodes so we should see a new drama here at mid-season. Nothing here I'll be watching in the fall.

TUESDAY:
8:00 p.m. "OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS"
9:00 p.m. "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show"
10:00 p.m. "Eli Stone"

Definitely not a night I'll be watching ABC. Opportunity Knocks sounds like a horrible game show, probably will be in the Duel ratings. The results show should do okay. Eli Stone was a loser in its run this past season so I expect it only to do worse, it may have mediocre ratings until DWTS is over but once that's done the ratings will plumet.

WEDNESDAY:
8:00 p.m. "Pushing Daisies"
9:00 p.m. "Private Practice"
10:00 p.m. "Dirty Sexy Money"

Wednesday last season was dropping each week, with the exception of Private Practice. Expect this to continue and DSM and Pushing Daisies gone at mid-season for new shows. Another night I won't be watching ABC

THURSDAY:
8:00 p.m. "Ugly Betty"
9:00 p.m. "Grey's Anatomy"
10:00 p.m. "LIFE ON MARS"

Ugly Betty is going down, I really only expect this to last this season, maybe next. GA is declining but is still a solid performer but terrible for launching new shows. Life on Mars looks really good, I've seen a few promos and has my favorite actor Jason O'Mara in it. I think LOM has a chance because it is different from GA, all the failed shows launched after GA were relationship dramas and it doesn't seem to work, maybe a procedural will. LOM is the only show on ABC Thursday I'll be watching.

FRIDAY:
8:00 p.m. "Wife Swap"
9:00 p.m. "Supernanny"
10:00 p.m. "20/20"

While I won't be watching this is probably a good move for ABC, ratings for WS and Nanny are okay during the week and I think they'll be about the same which is very good for Friday.


SATURDAY:
8:00 p.m. "Saturday Night College Football"

I'll watch depending on who is playing.

SUNDAY:
7:00 p.m. "America's Funniest Home Videos"
8:00 p.m. "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"
9:00 p.m. "Desperate Housewives"
10:00 p.m. "Brothers & Sisters"

Sunday's are getting old. I personally don't like any of the shows listed. DH is about the only show I see growing the rest should start to decline. I really think that ABC should have swapped B&S and LOM. DH is much better at launching shows then GA.

Sunday, May 11, 2008

I know NBC actually has their upfront tomorrow but here is the schedule they released last month for Fall.

NBC OFFICIAL PRIMETIME SCHEDULE FOR FALL 2008-09

*New programs in UPPER CASE (with the exception of "ER")

MONDAY
8-9 p.m. "Chuck"
9-10 p.m. "Heroes"
10-11 p.m. "MY OWN WORST ENEMY"

I really think NBC is making a mistake with Chuck. It rerally didn't do well last year and I doubt it will improve this season. Heroes was down some last year and unless they do something to fix it this year it will continue to decline. Which is not going to help new show My Own Worst Enemy. This show has some potential but I'll have to see it and make my decision then.

TUESDAY
8- 9:30 p.m. "The Biggest Loser: Families"
9:30-10 p.m. "KATH & KIM"
10-11 p.m. "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"

I'm not really impressed with Biggest Loser now they're going to do families. I really think this is the year it will become the bigget loser rating wise. Kath & Kim I don't like Molly Shannon so I'll be passing on this one. L&O SVU is one of my favorites, I won't miss that one.

WEDNESDAY
8-9 p.m. "KNIGHT RIDER"
9-10 p.m. "Deal or No Deal"
10-11 p.m. "Lipstick Jungle"

Knight Rider might have done well as a movie last season but I really don't see it lasting as a series. I think it's gone by midseason. Deal or No Deal I like this show but NBC is really burning it out. It's on too much each week and the ratings are starting to suffer because of it. Lipstick Jungle I really don't hold much hope for. I liked it but the ratings weren't there last season and I really doubt they will be this season.


THURSDAY
8- 8:30 p.m. "My Name Is Earl"
8:30-9 p.m. "30 Rock"
9- 9:30 p.m. "The Office"
9:30-10 p.m. "The Office"/ "SNL THURSDAY NIGHT LIVE"
10-11 p.m. "ER"

NBC really needs to fix My Name is Earl. I hardly watched this season and when I did, I was very disappointed. 30 Rock is such a waste I don't know why this is getting a 3rd season it didn't deserve the 2nd. The Office will continue to do well for them I personally don't like it. ER I think will do okay as it has in the past. If they bill it as the last season ratings should actually go up because fans will come back to watch the ending.

FRIDAY
8-9 p.m. "CRUSOE"
9-10 p.m. "Deal or No Deal"
10-11 p.m. "Life"

I really don't have much interest in Crusoe. Overplaying DOND again. One night a week is plenty. Life's ratings will go down from last year here on Fridays. That's a shame because it is a good show. Hopefully enough will tune in to keep it going a few seasons.


SATURDAY
8-9 p.m. "Dateline NBC"
9-10 p.m. "KNIGHT RIDER" (Encores)
10-11 p.m. "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" (Encores)

I don't even talk about Saturday. There really isn't anything to say.


SUNDAY
7- 8:20 p.m. "Football Night in America"
8:20-11 p.m. "NBC Sunday Night Football"

NBC will dominate because of the Sunday Night games but they really need to do something about Football Night in America, it's ratings aren't good at all.

I thought this movie was very interesting. Based on a true story of Frank Lucas who int the late 60's and early 70's ran a huge drug business in New York by using his family members. This man had so many connections it's not even funny. His...

Zodiac
Probably one of the bes movies I've seen in a long time. It was accurate to the facts and very suspenseful. The makers went to great lengths to be authentic, including the very first shot of San Francisco, you can see the Embarcadero Highway...

Commandments
This movie has a great cast. A little bit of a strange storyline but it's entertaining. After losing his wife, Seth decides to break each one of the Ten Commandments. Worth seeing once.

Insomnia
First of all the fact that Al Pacino is in it makes it worth seeing. I thought it was a good movie, it didn't really blow me away wit the suspense but it had a good storyline and an excellent cast. It isn't the type of movie I'd watch over and...

I wasn't sure about seeing this movie. I was not a huge fan of the Superman movies, but decided to give it a try. I was glad that I did. I thought it had some nice plot twists, Lois Lane with the son and having moved on with her life. It...
