You Have Options...continued

We left off at Tuesday. As far as I can see there is only one new show on Tuesdays that is worth watching, "My Name is Earl". There are a few good show returning on ABC for Tuesdays, but as far as new shows go this is it. This is hands down the best show on NBC right now. I'm going to say it's the best new show this year. It could also be the best show on television right now. NBC needed to pull out the big guns this season and they did with "My Name is Earl".

I really can't say much about Wednesday. There aren't any new shows that I would watch on Wednesday. ABC and CBS both have moved some of their seasoned veterans to Wednesday night, but there really isn't anything new worth talking about.

Thursday night belongs to UPN. At 7:00 a great new show "Everybody Hates Chris" is on. I give the name of the show a 1 out of 10 on originality, but the shows content makes the name forgivable. Following at 7:30 is a show called "Love, Inc." The matchmaker premise has not done well on television, but this show approaches it a little better than shows like "Miss Match". I am clearly not this show's target audience and I'll admit it really isn't the type of sitcom I would normally watch. However, being on right after "Chris" and the alternatives being the second half of Survivor or O.C., I think this show has potential to be around next year. Also there are a few characters on the show that just have me rolling.

Friday has never been a big television night. I think FOX is putting Malcom in the Middle out to pasture by moving them to Friday. It seems the WB are taking their turn being the Friday night sitcom station. New to their Friday line up is "Twins". I imagine it took all of 30 seconds to come up with this program idea, but they've done something right. I don't know if it's the cast or the writing, but something draws me to this show.

Just remember, whether your watching some tired old sitcom or Law & Order spin off, you do have a choice. You don't have to watch that awful reality programming. Let the networks know that we won't tolerate "reality" anymore.
