What To Watch Tonight: Thursday

What's on TV tonight? There is a lot on, but what should you watch? Let me tell you!

8:00 p.m.: This week, there is nothing on at 8, but next week 'Flash Forward' starts and THAT is what you should be watching at 8.

Here's a promo:



On ABC.

9:00 p.m.:
This is bound to happen, two shows on at the same time that are both awesome. Tonight it's 'Fringe' and 'Supernatural'. Which to watch? Well, both is the answer, but that might not be possible. So either DVR one and watch the other, or DVR both, or since FOX has the far superior online viewer, watch 'Supernatural' and then tomorrow go watch 'Fringe' online (FOX actually has a great online viewer with crystal-clear display while The CW has a crappy little player that pixellates regularly and they only have around 3 episodes at a time, so if you miss the first one and week four rolls around you are out of luck).

'Fringe' Promo


On FOX
'Supernatural' Promo
I'm including the first episode promo of the season too, I'm behind so I don't know what's going on. Have to catch up this afternoon. On The CW




10:00 p.m.
I've already posted about what you should watch at 10, and that would be 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'. This show is fantastic and funny beyond belief, so watch it. It's on FX.

2009 Television Season - Monday Night!

What to watch? What to avoid? What's returning? These are all important questions that I intend to answer for you. I'm only covering scripted television shows because I hate "reality" TV programs. If you'd like to find when your next bad American remake of a Japanese game show or girl-who-dates-a-bunch-of-men-on-TV show, airs you can hit up Google.

Monday:
There are a number of returning shows to Monday night. CBS has their line-up of comedy shows (How I Met Your Mother, Accidentally on Purpose, Two and a Half Men and Big Band Theory) followed by CSI:Miami. I'm not really a fan of CSI, but here's the promo for the new season:

-Yep, "Miami" is still orange and Caruso still wears his glasses whilst puffing out air with his hands on his hips.

ABC has Castle's sophomore season. As a lover of all things Nathan Fillion, I watch this show. As a plus, it's pretty cute. I need to catch up on all the episodes I missed from last season. Nathan Fillion plays a writer who is researching Stana Katic's Beckett for his new series of books.
Promo for season 2:


One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl are still clamoring along. They are not my favorites at all, I actually find Gossip Girl to be filled with boring plot lines and terrible actors. One Tree Hill is entertaining to watch if I happen to catch it on reruns, but I never watch it weekly.

One Tree Hill

-That's a really crappy promo.

Gossip Girl

-Penn Badgley is the only thing worth looking at on this show, but the show's so dumb I can't bring myself to watch it!

There's nothing new on FOX this season as House returns followed by Lie To Me
. I don't follow House but it would appear he's in a mental institution? And I did hear that most of the original cast would be returning, which is part of the reason I stopped watching. I do enjoy Hugh Laurie being such a nasty ass and the season looks intriguing, so maybe I'll start watching again.
I've never watched Lie To Me, though I've heard it's good and I like Tim Roth.





NBC has the most interesting schedule this fall with the return of Heroes (which fell by my wayside last season went it began to get incredibly stupid and boring, hopefully this season will get better) and a new show, Trauma, starring the lovely Billy Lush. They went a little overboard with the promo music they show in theatres, but the show does look interesting.


-I'm just so sick of the "I'm a cheerleader and Claire Bennett and I just want to be normal but let me throw myself out a window as my friend looks on" as well as whatever the character Ali Larter plays; she always is annoying and hasn't been interesting since the first season.


-This trailer gets a little overboard music-wise at the end, but the show does look very good. And again, Billy Lush.


According to the schedule, Chuck will replace Heroes and Trauma in the spring.

FOX's new (soon to be cancelled) Fall Lineup

Fox plopped onto the internet trailers for their new fall shows. Let's review!

Human Target
Mark Valley. Tricia Helfer. Chi McBride. Jackie Earle Haley. I like all four of these people. However, this show sounds like Keen Eddie (which I loved) meets The Pretender (which I also loved)without him actually pretending, blended into a trailer that is TOO long. I watched it and tuned out after about 30 seconds...that's not good. It is produced by McG, who has produced some good shows (Supernatural) but that doesn't mean it will be good.


Past Life
Past Life? How about Soul Whisperer? It's like Ghost Whisperer but with past souls. It might make a good mini-series or limited series, but a whole series? I don't know how this will work. This trailer, again too long, doesn't say what the basic mythology story will be, so I don't know how they are going to handle week after week of the same 'lady-finds-a-lost-soul-reunites-it-with-it's-past-body".


According to io9 Human Target premieres January 17th and there is, rightfully, no date listed for Soul Whisperer.
