WINTER TV SEASON PREMIERES CONTINUE
We made it through the FIRST week but the month of new premieres and returners CONTINUES!! This past week, we welcomes Downton Abbey and Pretty Little Liars fans were reeling but at the same time, we cringed at how awful 1600 Penn was (saw that coming). In case you haven't checked it out yet. DON'T! I even had my fellow TV lover and critic Jenna Stroh watch it with me to gain another opinion and we both scoffed at how stupid the show expects the viewer to be. It's trash and it'll be canceled soon. ANYWAAAAYS, the Golden Globes were last night and if you didn't get the memo, the two shows to most definitely add to your rosters are HBO's GIRLS and SHOWTIME's HOMELAND. They swept every TV category and have become this year's Modern Family and Mad Men so give in already and check em' out.
*THE WAY TV WORKS
-Did you know that the commercials you watch between your TV shows paid for your whole program? The means if you are one of those fans who watches their favorite shows on online piracy websites or waits more than three days to watch it on your DVR, than networks have virtually no idea that you are a fan at all and thus you are accidentally taking part in the demise of broadcast television. It's a sad reality, but without commercials, there is no money to make your favorite show in the first place. So if you really love a show and it got canceled, think about whether you had a part in it.
*The Returners denotes that your fav show is back with new episodes
Sunday - January 13th
*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - HBO's HIGHLY HIGHLY appraised and talked about show GIRLS returns for it's second season. Each season is only 10 episodes so it is not a big commitment at all. If you love comedy, seeing a version of yourself on screen and HBO's nudity than you should tune in!
Also don't miss:
The other HBO and Showtime offerings of SHAMELESS, ENLIGHTENED, and HOUSE OF LIES also coming back this night.
The Returners: Special Note: Fans of 666 Park Avenue can watch the final four episodes, but will have to wait till this Summer when ABC plans to air them. Happy Endings and B in Apt 23 are permanently replacing it on Sunday nights.
Monday - January 14th
*BRAND NEW SERIES - The time has finally come THE CARRIE DIARIES, the much anticipated prequel to HBO's massively popular Sex and the City franchise is coming to the CW. The baby Sarah Jessica Parker is played by a teenage Anna Sophia Robb and even though this project graces the CW network it still promises to be very good. With such a popular fan following, it has to be, so check this out and enjoy the simple fun of it.
Also don't miss:
SyFy's new CONTINUUM, about a futuristic cop trapped in present day.
The Returners: How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls, Hawaii Five-O, Mike and Molly
Tuesday - January 15th
*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - For just one moment, ignore the SyFy logo in the poster and relish in the awesomeness that is FACEOFF. SyFy's most popular series in years is a competition between some crazy talented make-up artist and their ability to bring our dreams to life. Whether it's grisly zombies or alien creatures, these contestants have to do it all. You will marvel at this show and fall in in love before you can ever feel weird about watching the SyFy channel (which in my opinion needs to spend a little more money on it's projects).
Wednesday - January 16th
Also don't miss:
TAKEN 2 being released on DVD today.
The Returners:
*BRAND NEW JUDGES - It's BACK! The biggest juggernaut on TV and the singing show that spawned them all: AMERICAN IDOL. Whether you love it or hate, American Idol has proven it's cultural impact with stars ALL OVER the place. The season shake-up promises to be entertaining though this TV lover missed JLO who obviously was one of the best TV judges of all time. Don't forget that this show is on the following night as well with double auditions. I love this show and will mos def be watching.
Thursday - January 17th
*BELOVED SERIES - I don't really understand it's popularity but FX's brash ARCHER returns this Thursday!
Also don't miss:
USA's premiere of SUITS new season
The Returners:
Friday - January 18th
*HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - If you haven't caught on to the SHARK TANK band wagon yet, you don't know how good Friday TV can be. This is the first show I watch on my TiVo whenever it's on. ABC's tasty investor show is made all the better in that you can actually go out to the story and buy past products like my fabulous KissStix and flavored peanut butters.
*SAY GOODBYE :.....(
FOX's FRINGE is saying goodbye tonight. The only real Sci-Fi show in Broadcast TV, the series lasted a good long 4 and 1/2 seasons and kept the minds of The X-Files age alive.
Saturday - January 19th
*Dead as usual, so instead, get out there and watch all of those Oscar nominated Best Picture hopefuls!!
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK AS WE DELVE INTO THE BRAND NEW WINTER TV SEASON!
