Why Aren't You Watching.... Sunday Edition
7 PM... There's not a whole lot on at seven. Fox is still going to have reruns of their entire Sunday line-up until the Baseball playoffs are done so go watch 60 minutes... you might learn something (or at the very least, see a poorly fact-checked report).
8 PM... (Tivo Alert) Cold Case. I was slow in coming to this show (because usually I'm over on Fox, but they're not here so CBS gets a viewer. Maybe it's a little formulaic (but isn't most of what's on TV?)it's pretty well acted and it's not a member of the Law and Order or CSI franchise which is something these days. Meanwhile you can Tivo Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Yes, it's terribly sappy. Yes the designers all sound like bad sports color commentators as they mention how each house is the best they've ever done and each family is "the most deserving". Still, it works.
9 PM... I was going to recommend Sue Thomas F.B Eye-- it's about a blind FBI agent and her dog on PAX, but apparently a bottle of whiskey doesn't get you as drunk as it used to. Instead, start with Law and Order Criminal Intent. It's just a damn good show. Tivo Desperate Housewives....I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. If Desperate Housewives falters, give Jack and Bobby a try over on the WB. It's rather good.
10 PM... Watch your Tivoed shows...everything else on sucks.
This is subject to change as the season progresses (and Fox actually adds some real programming like Arrested Development) I'll be updating as we go.
