Bottom Of The Barrel

Fall TV

Although the fall tv season no longer starts on a given week, tonight marks the unofficial begin of the new TV season with the 2 hour season premiere of Prison Break. With some 18 new shows on the schedule, there should be something here worth watching.

Monday

Best New Premise: Worst Week - Sam is an entertainment magazine editor who will do anything to please the parents of his girlfriend, Melanie...but instead becomes a one-man wrecking crew whenever he's around them.
Show most likely to be back in 2009: America's Toughest Jobs - Even bad reality shows seem to make it back.
Favorite Returning Show: How I Met Your Mother (CBS)

Tuesday

New Shows: Opportunity Knocks (ABC), The Mentalist (CBS), 90210 (CW) Privileged (CW), and Fringe (FOX)
Best New Premise: Fringe - FBI Special Agent Dunham teams with our generation's Einstein, Dr. Bishop, to investigate a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena, called "The Pattern".

Favorite Returning Show: Eli Stone (ABC)

Wednesday

New Shows: Gary Unmarried (CBS), Stylista (CW), Do Not Disturb (FOX) and Knight Rider (NBC)
Best New Premise: Do Not Disturb - A workplace comedy set at one of New York City's hottest and hippest hotels with chic decor, stylish staff and celebrity clientele. Behind the scenes, however, the upstairs/downstairs dynamic tells quite a different story.
Show most likely to be back in 2009: Knight Rider because it seems like NBC will do anything to get this show off the ground again.
Favorite Returning Show: None

Thursday

New Shows: Life on Mars (ABC), Eleventh Hour (CBS), Kath & Kim (NBC) and SNL Weekend Update (NBC)

Best New Premise: The Ex List - Bella learns from a psychic that she's already dated her future husband AND there's a catch: if she doesn't find him in the next year, she'll remain alone forever!

Make sure those DVR's have been reprogrammed to include the new shows you want to check out [and not the ones you no longer are interested in].
