TV Mad Man

Lots of great new TV tonight including another premiere by the CW and a finale.

The Beautiful Life: TBL – 9/8c on The CW

The last of the new show premieres on the CW is here. TBL is about the New York modeling world and you can check out my review here. I only saw the 25 minute presentation but I am really looking forward to seeing the full pilot because there is potential here. The chemistry with the lead Sara Paxton and the male characters is great and Misha Barton is used perfectly in the pilot as is Elle McPherson. If you are watching Top Model stay around for TBL, and if you are not still check it out.

Top Chef: Las Vegas – 10/9c on Bravo Was last week’s episode the best episode ever? Is this season the best season ever? I think it might just be. Las Vegas has been on fire with delivering great challenges and people this year and I think that will continue with an out in the desert challenge that will put the chefs to the limits in the elements.

Wipeout – 8/7c on ABC The season finale tonight of a consistently funny show. Record it just for a laugh now and again when you need it.

Glee – 9/8c on FOX Another show that has been yet to be not funny or sweet is GLEE! Tonight, the men form a acapella group that features appearances by Alias‘s Victor Garber as Will’s dad and Josh Groban as himself. Nobody has seen this yet but with music like Mercy and Bust the Windows, how could it not be great.

So You Think You Can Dance – 8/7c on FOX Did you hear? The Shank, Adam Shankman will be a permanent judge on the table this fall season. I love him but I am a little worried that that will mean no judging by my fave Debbie Allen. Nigel has said they may add fourth guest judges some weeks although it won’t be every week. More auditions this week and if it is anything like last week there will be some great talent!

Tonight, the story is on the bowl, that is the 43rd Super Bowl. The Arizona Cardinals are battling the Pittsburgh Steelers which I hope will be a better battle than last year’s competition. What most people are looking forward are the ads. This year was the highest grossing ad year for the Super Bowl according to NBC who is hosting the game. Just for your pleasure here is the new promo from the game for the new JJ Abrams movie Star Trek:

Looks good doesn’t it? 

Of course, NBC is going all out for the game. Expect commercials for every single one of there shows multiple times, while the struggling network tries to find viewers for their low rated shows. I for one am excited to see new promos for Kings (3/15 on NBC) and the first promos for Southland (4/9 on NBC). NBC like every other network who hosts the game is airing one episode of one show after the big game. The honors go to…..

THE OFFICE

That is right, their most highly rated comedy is getting a bumb tonight which I have heard it back to classic Office. The episode hosts cameos from Jack Black, Cloris Leachman, and Jessica Alba, and hosts all the usually antics. The episode entitled “Stress Antics” promises to be a great hour of comedy masterpiece but don’t expect it to be perfect because as you know it usually never is. Here is a clip of tonight’s hour:

After all that if you are not a fan of the bowl, for the first time in years a network is counter programming, That gutsy move is being made by ABC who is airing two special episode of their summer hit Wipeout. The show that puts people with Big Balls, the Sucker Punch, and more should provide great fun. ABC will be airing the special “Wipeout Bowl” during the time the half-time show airs on NBC. Another episode will air after the game against The Office. Have a super day and here is a sneak peek of the balls!
