Pick of the Week: Do You Even Have to Ask?
For me, there is only one event on TV this week (okay, two), but for the rest of you, there is plenty of noteworthy stuff…
Tonight, you can catch three premieres. “Lincoln Heights” tells the story of a family who moves back to the father’s old neighborhood (7 p.m., ABC Family). “Gay, Straight, or Taken?” is a reality show where a female contestant must figure out which guy is which (8 p.m., Lifetime) and “I Love New York” is the female version of “Flavor of Love,” with a two-time “Flavor” cast-off choosing among 20 men (9 p.m., VH1). Tonight also marks all-new episodes for the CBS line-up, including Natalia getting arrested for the murder of her ex-husband on “CSI: Miami” (10 p.m., CBS)…
Tuesday, it’s the “People’s Choice Awards” on CBS (9 p.m.) and Doris Roberts guest stars on “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” (9 p.m., NBC)…
Wednesday, it’s the premiere of one of the most disturbing reality shows I’ve ever heard of—“Armed and Famous,” as Erik Estrada, LaToya Jackson, Jack Osbourne and others become real-life cops (8 p.m., CBS). “The Sopranos” makes its basic cable debut on A&E (9 p.m.) and “The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency” returns for its second season (10 p.m., Oxygen)…
Thursday, Tori Spelling becomes the newest super-villain on “Smallville” (8 p.m., CW), Taylor’s ex-husband visits from France on “The O.C.” (9 p.m., FOX) and “Nashville Star” kicks off a new season with new hosts Jewel and Cowboy Troy (10 p.m., USA)…
Friday, Disney Channel tries to find the next “High School Musical” with “Jump In!” which stars HSM’s Corbin Bleu and Keke Palmer (“Akeelah and the Bee”) as competitive jump ropers (8 p.m.). Then, it’s the premiere of the “That’s So Raven” spin-off, “Cory in the House” as Cory and his dad move to the White House (9:30 p.m.)…
Saturday, USA gets us ready for the remainder of the first season of “Psych” with a seven-and-a-half-hour marathon beginning at 12:30 p.m…
Sunday, HBO subscribers can catch the season premiere of “Rome”…
But my two picks of the week are on FOX. Tonight, it’s the Tostitos Bowl Championship Series National Championship Game
as Ohio State and Florida play for all the Tostitos. Pre-game starts at 7:30 p.m. Look for a late one…
Then, on Sunday, after seven long months of waiting it’s the return of “24” with a four-hour two-night premiere which kicks off at 8 p.m. Sunday and continues at 8 p.m. Monday. I’m so jazzed I can barely type this. It’s been a long wait…
