New digs and TV schedules

Tuesday, August 18, 2009 by admin.

The site has moved so please update your bookmarks! All of my previous posts are here. I haven’t figured out how to move my subscribers over yet so you may have to reregister. I apologize for the inconvenience but I swear I won’t be changing my name again! I decided to go back to my maiden name, Wagner, hence the change. Let me tell you, it has been an expensive and time-consuming process but I feel positive about the future. It’s amazing how one little thing can change your perspective.

The inaugural post on this new site will be the TV schedule I promised you back in May.

Here is a list of the fall and midseason shows sorted by premiere date:

Date Show Network New? Notes
FALL
Sept. 10 The Vampire Diaries The CW Yes The preview I saw at Comic-Con didn’t bolster much hope for this show but I’ll give it another go. If you’re interested in a Twilight-meets-Gossip-Girl thing you may be more impressed than me.
Sept. 10 Supernatural The CW No The Winchester brothers are back in what may be their final season to battle Lucifer and, hopefully, help mankind survive Armageddon. Let’s boost those ratings so we can convince Eric Kripke we need a 6th season!
Sept. 17 Bones FOX No Bones returns on Thursdays at 8 p.m. I’m wondering how they’re going to handle all of the intimacy stuff between Bones and Booth–real or imagined it changes the dynamic for sure!
Sept. 17 Fringe FOX No Fringe moves to its new night, Thursday, at 9 p.m. I don’t know about you but I’ll have to catch this one on Hulu. Too many shows on Thursday at 9 p.m.!
Sept. 18 Dollhouse FOX No Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse got a reprieve and will premiere at 8 p.m. Like Joss says, they forgot to cancel his show. I for one am glad! If you haven’t seen the unaired episode “Epitaph One” I sincerely beg you to download it from iTunes or, better yet, buy the DVD set. It’s the best episode yet!
Sept. 21 House FOX No Gregory House and his team of diagnosing geniuses return with a two-hour premiere at 8 p.m.
Sept. 21 Heroes NBC No Heroes returns for a fourth season with a two-hour premiere at 8 p.m. Greg Grunberg who plays Matt Parkman assures us that the new season will return to character-based storytelling similar to season 1.
Sept. 21 Castle ABC No Nathan Fillion returns as mystery writer Rick Castle at 10 p.m. Set your DVRs folks, it’s definitely worth it.
Sept. 21 The Big Bang Theory CBS No Big Bang Theory is a new addition to the list. What can I say? They won me over at Comic-Con. The show moves to a new time at 9:30 p.m.
Sept. 23 Eastwick ABC Yes Based on the movie “The Witches of Eastwick” this little gem stars Rebecca Romijn and the steamy likes of Paul Gross. I’m definitely there! Set your DVRs folks because it starts at 10 p.m.
Sept. 24 Flash Forward ABC Yes What if you blacked out for over two minutes and saw what your life is like 6 months from now? I’m looking forward to finding out what happens in this show slated for Thursdays at 8 p.m. However, once again, there are too many shows in that timeslot I want to watch but that’s what Hulu was invented for.
Sept. 24 Grey’s Anatomy ABC No I am addicted to this show, possibly because Jeffrey Dean Morgan keeps showing up unexpectedly. There was one doozy of a cliff hanger last season so I’ll definitely be recording it. This one also airs in the coveted 9 p.m. slot on Thursdays and, I’m sorry ABC, but Supernatural takes precedent!
Sept. 24 The Mentalist CBS No The show the writers of Psych loves to poke fun at returns Thursday nights at 10 p.m.
Sept. 25 The Ghost Whisperer CBS No Moved to Friday nights at 8 p.m. Again, I don’t watch The Ghost Whisperer but I know it’s popular with the sci-fi crowd.
Sept. 25 Medium CBS No Medium jumps from FOX to CBS on Friday nights at 9 p.m. Again, I don’t watch this show but I know it’s popular so I offer the info for your convenience.
Sept. 25 Smallville The CW No Clark Kent and the gang return at 8 p.m. on a new night for what looks to be an awesome season chock full of the Justice League (or some semblance thereof) and General Zod!
Sept. 27 Dexter Showtime No It’s official! Season 4 of the show that chronicles the bloody life of everyone’s favorite serial killer starts at 9 p.m. Don’t forget, John Lithgow plays Dexter’s nemesis this season and it looks like it will be just as great as the previous seasons. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait.
Sept. 27 Californication Showtime No David Duchovny returns as hedonistic writer Hank Moody at 10 p.m. I don’t know how they’re going to top guest star Callum Keith Rennie of last season but I’ll sure tune in to find out.
October White Collar USA Yes While this is not a genre show per se, I’m going to check it out for two reasons: the cast and USA hasn’t steered me wrong thus far. Tim DeKay from HBO’s Carnivale and Matt Bomer from NBC’s Chuck star in this show about a master criminal who works with the FBI to catch slippery criminals.
Nov. 3 V ABC Yes Let me tell you that at 8 p.m. on this day, the world is going to stop for V. I’ve seen the pilot twice and I still want to see it again. I was an avid fan of the show when I was a kid and ABC has done the original proud with this reimagining.
MIDSEASON
TBA Chuck NBC No Chuck will be back as a midseason replacement. A new show called “Trauma” (like we need another medical show, people) has taken Chuck’s timeslot after Heroes. The rumor is January or February but they’re hoping for earlier.
January Lost ABC Yes The final season of Lost will premiere midseason. Since Elisabeth Mitchell has moved over to V, I suppose we can figure out what happened to Juliet, but I’m wouldn’t miss the last season for the world!
January Human Target FOX Yes I can’t wait for Human Target! The pilot I saw at Comic-Con whet my appetite and I’m sure it will be a hit like Fringe.
January Past Life FOX Yes I haven’t heard much about this show but it does have an interesting premise. The show is based on the book “The Reincarnationist” by M.J. Rose and follows a psychiatrist that performs past-life regressions. Looks worth checking out.

There you have it. Until next time we meet again on the Interwebs, my friends!
