TV: Week of January 15

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 12:28 pm

Pick of the Week

What I love about this show is how everyone talks like they are in a Coen Brothers movie, like Raising Arizona or No Country for Old Men. Characters use big, fancy words while talking about coal mining and shooting their husbands/wives. It’s hilarious. As an added bonus, Timothy Olyphant is damn sexy. In the third season, Raylan is dealing with his ex-wife being pregnant with his child while dealing with Boyd Crowder going back to his bad ways. There are two new baddies this season and they both came from Boomtown: Neal McDonough and Mykelti Williamson.

TV Premieres: Week of March 14

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 8:57 pm

There are quite a few season finales this week to make room for all the new shows starting the new few weeks. On Monday, Top Gear and Secret Diary of a Call Girl end. On Tuesday, FlashForward will have a special to catch everyone up on what has happened so far before the show comes back from hiatus on Thursday. Archer ends its first season on Thursday and Survivors ends its first season on Saturday. Survivors does have a second season that has already aired on BBC, so it just has to start showing on BBC America. On Wednesday, both Gary Unmarried and Scrubs will have their season finales. Scrubs really should have ended last year. I quit watching it since the abomination of the show from this season was clouding the goodness of the show previously.

Trailer

Synopsis: A man left Kentucky as soon as he could to become a U.S. Marshall, but after angering some superiors, he is sent to Kentucky again, where he never wanted to return. Based on the character created by Elmore Leonard.

My Take: Each critic that has previewed this show loves it to death. They cannot get enough of it. I have loved Timothy Olyphant since Deadwood. This looks very violent and awesome.

TV: Week of September 28

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 6:12 pm

Wow. It is hard to find trailers for show debuting this week. Where is the promotional push from the networks? It is a very sad state of affairs.

Update: I did only have Sunday up earlier, but now I have the entire week done.

Pick of the Week

The Amazing Race
Channel: CBS
Time: 8/7c
Premieres: Sunday, September 28
Starring: Phil Keoghan
Trailer

Synopsis: They will travel to new locations this 13th season, such as Cambodia and Kazakhstan. Also, one team will make a huge mistake that will keep them for making it to the finish line.

My Take: This is my favorite reality show. I love to see the destinations and the challenges are usually related to something specific about that culture. Also, the people that know each other already have the built-in mechanisms for arguing, which is fun to see heightened with lack of sleep.
