NBC Premiere Week and more...

Categories for new TV:

DVR it - put it on or tape it if you can't see it
For you, maybe - some shows I just don't like but you might
Why? - who paid for this show to be on TV

DVR it

Gossip Girl, Monday a 9 on CW
The girls are all grown up and heading to college, can I just say that Josh Schwartz is a genius (Chuck, Gossip Girl, and the OC) although we'll see how the producers deal with not having the main characters at the same school and we all know that this could be the last season for Chace and Leighton as their careers have taken off from this sow

Jay Leno, Weeknight at 10 on NBC
The late night man himself is back and all of Hollywood is rooting against him because he chewed up 5 hours a week of what could be scripted TV on NBC, his first show features Seinfeld and Kanye (apologize to Taylor, please even though you were right about the award) so you can bet I'll be watching, if this works watch ABC who hasn't made good TV in awhile go after Oprah for their 10 PM slot next fall

SNL Weekend Update, Thursdays at 8 on NBC
The Office, Thursdays at 9 on NBC
Two Thursday favorites return to TV, The Office is probably the funniest show on TV and SNL weekend Update always does a good job making our sad daily newscast a bit more upbeat than the real one

The Community, Thursdays at 9:30 on NBC
Joel McHale graduates from the Soup on E! to major network TV as a lawyer forced back into college in NBC's best new show of the year which is sure to make NBC Thursday's the funniest night of TV on any 1 network

The Beautiful Life, 9 PM Wednesdays on CW
Ashton Kutcher produces this show about a modeling agency starring Sara Paxton and High School Musical's Corbin Bleu plus it has Elle McPherson as their boss and Mischa Barton as the model who has made it

Bored To Death - 9:30 PM Sundays on HBO
Rushmore's Jason Schwartzman and The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis start in a story about a fake private eye in New York plus Ted Danson is there too for some laughs giving you another reason to watch HBO on Sunday besides Entourage (and True Blood)

For you, maybe
Bones, 8 PM Thursdays on Fox
Fringe, 9 PM Thursdays on Fox
2 shows that people seem to love, especially Bones which enters its 5th year and is now syndicated on TNT every night if you can't get enough
Parks & Recreation, 8:30 PM Thursdays on NBC
Honestly I just need a 30 minute break from TV, just happens to be on the same night as every other funny show is

Why?
Survivor: Samoa, 8 PM Thursdays on Fox
19 seasons!!!, on since 2000 and people still get into it

The Biggest Loser, 8 PM Tuesdays on NBC
Now on its 8th season and watching people lose weight has never really done it for me

Crash, 10 PM on Starz
Never try to take a successful movie into a TV show, it just doesn't work
