Pick of the Week

Reaper
Channel: CW
Time: 8/7c
Starring: Bret Harrison, Tyler Labine, Ray Wise, Missy Peregrym, Rick Gonzalez

Trailer

Synopsis: After Sam fears that he might actually be Satan’s spawn, he goes off on a road trip with the guys. When they return, they find out they have all been fired from their jobs at the Work Bench and evicted from their apartment.

My Take: It is a goofy little show, but I love it. I think the chemistry of the cast works and Ray Wise is an awesomely evil and creepy Satan.

Willing to Try

Synopsis: It is a sequel to Life on Mars, where a female cop is shot and transported back to 1981, where she runs into Sam Tyler’s old boss.

My Take: I did enjoy the original British version of Life on Mars so I’m willing to check this one out. Also, the music should be good.

America’s Next Top Model
Channel: CW
Time: 8/7c
Starring: Tyra Banks, J. Alexander, Paulina Porizkova, Nigel Baker, Jay Manuel
Premieres: Wednesday, March 4
Trailer

Synopsis: This season there will be models that are shorter than 5-feet-7-inches, which is short by the industry standards.

My Take: Since everything involving Tyra ends up being about her anyway, I just can’t watch someone that thinks they are that important.

Why

celebrityapprentice

Celebrity Apprentice
Channel: NBC
Time: 9/8c
Starring: Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr.
Premieres: Sunday, March 1
Trailer

Synopsis: The “celebrities” this season that will be competing for charity: Annie Duke, Andrew Dice Clay, Brian McKnight, Brande Roderick, Clint Black, Claudia Jordan, Dennis Rodman, Hershel Walker, Jesse James, Joan Rivers, Khloe Kardashian, Melissa Rivers, Natalie Gulbis, Scott Hamilton, Tom Green, Tionne Watkins

My Take: I used to think the original show was entertaining with interesting business lessons, but this is so far away from anything actually related to business, that I can’t bear to watch. Also, Joan Rivers scares the crap out of me with her bad plastic surgery. I can’t stand to look at her anymore.
