TV: Week of September 1st

Category: TV, Upcomingvelveetahead @ 7:17 pm

Even though the official premiere week isn’t until the fourth week in September, FOX and CW are coming on strong by premiering their shows this week and next. I guess summer is over!

Willing To Try

Bones
Channel: FOX
Time: 8/7c
Premieres: Wed, Sep 3(two-hour premiere)
Starring: Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Michaela Conlin, Eric Millegan, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley
Trailer

Synopsis: A forensic anthropologist works with an FBI Special Agent on cases where they fight and bicker and flirt with one another. The season premiere takes place in London and was actually filmed there too.

I have never seen an episode since, but I have seen some trailers where the chemistry is improved and I enjoyed laughing at the two interact with one another. I’m willing to give it another shot. Also, I’m a sucker for any show, even just an episode, being shot in London.

They usually debut fall shows in late August while other networks wait until late September. They do this to get a jump on the competition and reel people into their shows before they lose them for a bit during the fall when baseball preempts everything.

Strike Update

Category: News, TVvelveetahead @ 12:50 am

The writer’s strike is officially over. Some shows are going back into production for 4-6 episodes to air in April and May (mostly self-contained procedurals like CSI and comedies), while other serialized shows will be relaunched next fall. Over at TV Guide, Michael Ausiello has a chart on all shows, but here are the ones that I care about, plus a few that I know you guys like too.
