TV: Week of January 8

Pick of the Week

House of Lies is about a management consultant firm where the consultants have questionable morals in order to make the most money off their clients. I’m most looking forward to this show, even though critics seemed split on it. Some really like the black comedy and the outstanding cast of Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell. Others find it soulless. I really want to like it since I would love to find something worthy of Kristen Bell’s talent after Veronica Mars.

TV: Week of January 9

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 4:28 pm

I normally wouldn’t pick Californication as my pick of the week, but it’s the only show debuting this week that I’ve seen before. I’m a tad more excited for Episodes and Shameless, but since I haven’t seen them yet, I’ll have to wait and see.

Pick of the Week

Californication
Channel:
SHO
Time: 9/8c
Starring:
David Duchovny, Natascha McElhone, Pamela Adlon, Madeleine Martin, Evan Handler
Premieres: Sunday, January 9
Trailer

Synopsis: It finally comes out that Hank slept with Mia while she was underage so he gets to deal with all the consequences of that.

My Take: After a decent first season, it almost lost me during the second, but I stuck with it and it improved a bit towards the end of the third so here I am, still watching it.

TV: Week of September 21

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 5:10 pm

Fall TV Season is upon us. Even though quite a few shows got an early start this month, this week is the official season premiere week. Beware, this post will be huge!

Season Finales: Top Gear, Warehouse 13

Pick of the Week

dexter

Dexter
Channel: SHO
Time: 9/8c
Starring: Michael C. Hall, Julie Benz, Jennifer Carpenter, Desmond Harrington, C.S. Lee, Lauren Velez, David Zayas, James Remar
Premieres: Sunday, September 27
Trailer

Synopsis: Dexter got married and found out he had a kid on the way. Can a serial killer really have the perfect life? This season also stars a very successful serial killer for Dexter to admire, played by John Lithgow.

My Take: I keep wondering how long the show can last before it’ll burn itself out since he can’t keep killing forever, can he? But I’ll continue to watch it as it continues to be so very excellent.

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.
