What to Watch…Thursday, September 27, 2007

The first real Thursday of the Fall season. My head is already spinning this morning – so much TV and so much of it that I can’t watch tonight. Yep, in a hotel with no TiVo means I’m not going to be able to watch GREY’S ANATOMY until this weekend. And only watching THE OFFICE once tonight instead of the 3-4 times I normally watch it on a Thursday…so wrong. For those of you without a TiVo…how do you do it? What will you be watching?

Series & Season Premieres:

Big Shots | Season Premiere | 10pm on ABC
Four CEOs find sanctuary in male bonding to make sense of their lives. In the opener, Duncan (Dylan McDermott) tries to squelch a potential scandal; James (Michael Vartan) weighs a professional opportunity while dealing with a personal setback

Ugly Betty | Season Premiere | 8pm on ABC
“How Betty Got Her Grieve Back”
The second season begins three weeks after the first’s cliff-hanger, as Betty tries to forget about Henry, and Amanda distracts herself from the discovery that Fey Sommers is her real mother.

I’ve seen the first two episodes of the new season and I’m lovin’ me some Ugly Betty. But you know it’s Marc & Amanda that I really adore. Those silly little bitches are up to a lot in the first two episodes. If you’re like me and are all about Henry & Betty then we’re going to have a lot to discuss over the next few weeks. Oh, and bring some kleenex tonight because you will be sobbing.

My Name is Earl | Season Premiere | 8pm on NBC (1-hour long episode)
“My Name is Inmate 28301-16”
In the Season 3 opener, Earl has difficulty adapting to life behind bars, particularly when he runs afoul of a jailhouse bully. Problems continue outside of jail, as Randy has trouble adjusting to life without Earl.

“Fun Run”
In the fourth-season premiere, Michael believes the office might be cursed in the wake of a freak accident. After scrutinizing each of his staffers’ religious beliefs, he organizes a charity 5K “fun run.”

Grey’s Anatomy | Season Premiere | 9pm on ABC
