Jericho – The red-state version of Lost continues its post-apocalyptic paranoia-fest. This week food falls from the sky. Knowing that only liberals would give away food, the townspeople panic.
Madonna: The Confessions Tour – Madonna continues her life-long quest to piss off God. Unfortunately, NBC won’t show her desecrating a cross so for the most part the point will be lost on the public. On the plus side, we might get to hear Lucky Star. I love that song.
Show Me the Money – Speaking of the paranoia and lucky stars, Shatner hosts this glorious money-orgy complete with dancing girls a trivia questions. Watch to see if this is finally the week Shatner flips out.
Criminal Minds – This week the gang takes a break from serial killers to smoke out a terrorist cell. I wonder if there will be an insanely restrictive time limit.
Day Break – For those who are pissed off that Lost isn’t on tonight, all I can say is that Day Break rocks. Give the show a chance. If your worried about the whole Groundhog Day thing, don’t, Taye Diggs is far from invincible and he has the bullet-hole to prove it.
Real World: Denver (season premiere) – If you ever wanted a glimpse of the excitement and depravity that is Denver, here is your chance. By the way, if you’re counting, this is the eighteenth edition. If Pedro had to die, why can’t this show? Bring back Undressed.
Tonight’s Pick N’ Flick
Diamonds are Forever – The movie pickings are pretty slim tonight, but this is actually one of my favorite Bond movies. Bond goes to Las Vegas. What happens in Vegas saves the world . . . again. This is the second (and best) of Connery’s three final bond movies.

Hi!I stopped watching TV in the late 90s. Unlike most things in my life I didn’t do it (just) to advertise my excellence or to distance myself from the plebes. The driving reason was that my access to TV at the time was extremely limited. But I also felt that TV writing wasn’t up to par with my intellectual pursuits.
I only got back to watching TV two or so years ago. And I was flabbergasted – yes, flabbergasted – at the apparent increased quality of TV writing. The main reason for this is the rise of the TV serial.
thanks
