It's a Monday characterized by the annoying absence of Heroes (which, of course, left us hanging with Peter and Mohinder in the clutches of Sylar). Not helping is the fact that there's still mid-half-season (quarter-season?) lull in new product. Wait, what am I talking about? There's two whole hours of Deal or No Deal...
NBC DOES have THE BLACK DONNELLYS (NBC/10 p.m.). I'm past my anger at the theft of Studio 60's time slot. It's a decent dramatic take on criminals' lives without all the gushy existentialism of Sopranos.
More importantly -- a new FX series!!! That's right, I'm so excited I used three exclamation points. THE RICHES (FX/10 p.m.), starring Minnie Driver and comedian Eddie Izzard, premieres tonight. This network, like HBO, doesn't make bad shows (Rescue Me, Always Sunny). Even the ones that get canceled are awesome (Starved).
Also new: ABC's Supernanny and What About Brian; 24 on FOX; New Adventures (times two) and Rules of Engagement on CBS; Deal or No Deal on NBC; Wildfire on ABC Family; James Lipton talks with Chris Rock on Bravo's Inside the Actors Studio; Future Weapons and Stunt Junkies on Discovery; Super Sweet 16, Engaged & Underage and The Hills on MTV; Monday Night Raw on USA (Donald Trump's on hand for a contract signing); VH1's I Love New York.
Quick note to readers: I know there aren't many of you yet, but please, feel free to leave comments and definitely tell your friends if you like the blog. The Press' sports guys are the only blogs who get on the APP.COM daily hit list and we all know no one REALLY cares about high school sports. Any hit is a good hit and even bad comments are welcome and encouraged. Look for an angry, anti-FCC blog later this afternoon.
