Fan of Criminal Minds.
I agree they have lost something since patinkin left
I’m a fan of Criminal Minds. And I was glad that Mandy Patinkin left. He did not do anything imo. And the new actor’s name that replaced him is JOE MANTEGNA! GET THE SPELLING RIGHT! SHEESH.
Looking forward to Fringe!
Didn’t know John Noble was going to be in there, very interresting…
Nice long preview!
Zoinks Libb. Dang dvorak keyboard messed me up again!! I’ve been a pseudo fan of MANTEGNA fan since Joan of Arcadia.
Thanks for the gentle correction Libb.
You MUST tune into ‘Dexter’. No more ignoring your friends lol You will not be disappointed. As for ‘Bones’, I’m a huge David Boreanaz fan, and have been for a very long time and I can’t stand ‘Bones’. The first two seasons were the best, imo. Now, it’s seriously lacking.
I’m looking forward to Fringe, Terminator, Supernatural, House, Heroes, Smallville(I still watch for Tom Welling and Allison Mack), Pushing Daisies, and Dollhouse. Thanks for all the previews
What about My Name is Earl?!
Sigh:
My Name is Earl on NBC (Season 4)
SEASON PREMIERE
09.25.08
One-hour Season Premiere!
A funny show about a man who wins a lottery, and promptly gets run over while realizing his good fortune!! After an epiphany, he is determined to transform his good fortune into a life-changing event as he sets out to right all the wrongs from his past.
I really enjoy Earl. I caught the first couple of seasons, but it took a back seat to some other shows last season that stepped up and got in it’s way for me.
It’s funny as all get out from what I remember, and it’s going strong to rate itself a 4th season!
Definitely looking forward to the next season of The Unit.
But WTF is up with Knight Rider?? Did they really need to rice up a Mustang just to piss off non-ricers or do they actually think that will unite the two groups or some hippy thinking like that??
I mean, useless body kits, weird flashy bulby things sticking out of the hood, big ridiculous wing, and… neon lights… under the car… Seriously… Are you serious… Wouldn’t they focus on making mods to the car that are actually useful and not from the latest Tuner catalog? I can’t see the back, does it have a big fart can muffler too?
They should have just kept the GT500KR Mustang stock looking, but have tons of cool gadgets hidden away. That would have been pretty bad ass.
Nice work Bruce,,,
Yeah My Name is Earl is WAY better than the Office.
The shows I’m really looking forward to are Prison Break and 24,,, I noticed you didn’t cover 24 I’m guessing cause it comes out next year. But the prequel comes out in November. !!!
Sarah Connor Chronicles, is fun to watch like a car wreak you can’t avoid.
I don’t see Knight Rider lasting more than a season.
How they can green light that garbage, and cancel Journey Man is beyond common sense.
But remember its NBC, home of the lame. (Except Conan O Brian of course)
I don’t have cable so I’ll have to wait for the BSG season 4 dvds !!!
Thanks 790. There’s lots of shows out there!!
OK, here we go but as a filler until a possible later full post:
24 on Fox ( Season 7 )
After a year long delay, season 7 of 24 kicks it into gear -
Starting on Mondays, in January 2009.
On November 23, of 2008, 24: Exile will air on Fox as a prequel to the seventh season, bridging the gap between the seasons.
Don’t miss it! (Everyone, you have to read this with that gravely voice the movie voice over dude has! It makes it better!!)
shows ill be downloading this fall season:
prison break (sept 1)
entourage (sept 7)
terminator (sept
smallville (sept 18)
the big bang theory (sept 22)
heroes (sept 22)
the office (sept 25)
ugly betty (sept 25)
I really enjoy several shows on NBC: Chuck, Law and Order SVU and Life. Bruce, Life is a great show, one that really surprised me when I stuck with it last year. It sucks that NBC is mucking it up by moving it to my SciFi Friday nights, so unless it’s up against a rerun of Atlantis or Dr. Who, I will be on SciFi….
Oh, and I am psyched that we’ll be getting a whole season of “24″! WOOHOO!
Oh, and BTW, when does the Simpsons and Family Guy premiere? IMO, 2 of the best written shows on TV.
Hey Andy,
If you’re lucky, (or not), this is the last season of Atlantis, http://screenrant.com/stargate-atlantis-final-season-brusimm-3482/
And I just happen to have my first draft of shows that I peeled out of the material I posted, so here’s the info you asked for:
The Simpsons on FOX, starting it’s 20th season. Sunday, September 28th
20 Seasons of radioactive donuts!! Totally cool man!!
~
Family Guy (FOX) — season 7 Sunday, September 28th
I never caught this one.
~
And gang, keep an eye out. I have a “24″ post coming at ya soon!
-Bruce
Don’t forget PRISON BREAK fans!! 2 hour premere this MONDAY !!
Everyone else, you have 2 days to watch the first 3 seasons on dvd.

And Go !!!
Bruce Simmons said “20 Seasons of radioactive donuts!! Totally cool man!!”
Yeah, before they end this show they should do a story about where 20 years of vialed Nuclear waste went, that Homer keeps throwing out his car window. Whoops, did I give something away??
Old Man,,, The Simpsons will never end, it will one day morph into a religion as the survivors of the nuclear fire watch old dvds.

Meanwhile:
Tracy Ulman gets nothing!!!!!! (Shutltz accent)
Nothing !!!
I must go now!!!
WOOHOO!!!
Thanks Bruce!!!
I still cant get over the fact that the Knight Rider ads say Knight Rider THE SERIES .
It was ALWAYS a series!
It is cool however to hear the voice of Val Kilmer in the ads as the voice of Kitt.
Gary, (IMO) Knight Rider the Entire Series, (who cares) , will be a 3 disc set.
This show has a big budget if it dosnt pull in heavy numbers within the first season I’m betting it will be canceled and then mocked on Screen Rant endlessly for sport,
Yes I will be there!
Gang, since you’ve been asking for and about other shows, I’m going to put a few more out here.

Nice work Bruce,,,

I hope you have a beer on me !!!!!
Lol, no but really some good info!!!
thanks 790. It took me weeks to put together… slowly, line by line… channel by channel.
I’m havin’ nightmares about it because I know next year, I’ll be doin’ it again!
shudder!
Bruce,
Perhaps in the next year a couple of the networks will die cutting your work in half!
Huh? There’s a bright side to everything?
Friend of mine watched a rough cut of the Fringe pilot, and said it was horrible.
Acting, writing, story all bad.
He’s is concerned for the new Star Trek movie, written by the same team.

790: So basically what I said about the Fringe panel at Comic Con:
“… the more important statistical warning is that people were leaving during the panel. …no one seemed to be buying what they were chatting about, or they had somewhere else to be. Regardless, if this were a thermometer for gauging audience anticipation, they need to take note, quit spending money on all the viral stuff – and spend it on the story.”
May be more on target than some wanted to believe?
Should we worry about Star Trek, or do you think that they probably focused more on Star Trek and just pumped the media for Fringe….
Like one panel attendee asked: “Hey J.J., is Fringe going to be one of those shows you put your name on, then just move on from, to your next project?”
I thought that was a classic inquiry. LOL.
Well Star Trek’s gonna be a big hit opening weekend for sure, its freash and new, and I’m sure visually will look awesome.
Its the writing and story that might send it off course.
I predict it will prob have a real good opening weekend, and then fade into a possible 200 mil grossing domestically film.
I don’t see it beating Iron Man or TDK domestic.
I have a bad feeling Nimoy is going to steal the film and I don’t know if that’s a good thing yet?
^
My friend had this comment on Fringe I found amusing.
“It’s a mix of X-Files, Altered States, and whatever else

you can imagine these three amigos were brought up with..”
Season premire of Prison Break was awesome !!!!!

Did they save the galaxy yet? Or is that next season? I saw the commercial for the season premier of Prison Break, I like the stereotypical Asian tech guy character in that commercial.
I got a good laugh at that one…
