Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Sunday, September 19, 2010

TRUE BLOOD and ENTOURAGE are done until next year, but tonight HBO premieres a new Sunday night show to keep us all talking.  From what I’ve seen and read about BOARDWALK EMPIRE, I think this is going to be a show quite worthy of my Sunday night.  Really looking forward to checking it out tonight.

With THE AMAZING RACE and BROTHERS & SISTERS not returning until next week, it looks like I have a relatively easy Sunday evening.  Just sit back, relax and enjoy some stellar TV.

Here a few highlights from tonight’s TV lineup. We’d love to know what YOU plan on watching.

NFL Football | 8:15pm on NBC
“Giants vs. Colts”
Colts quarterback Peyton Manning faces his brother Eli as Indianapolis hosts the New York Giants in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The first clash came on the opening weekend of the 2006 season, when Peyton and the Colts won 26-21 at Giants Stadium.

Boardwalk Empire | 9pm on HBO | Series Premiere
“Boardwalk Empire”
In the Martin Scorsese-directed premiere of this drama set in Atlantic City at the dawn of Prohibition, political boss Enoch “Nucky” Thompson (Steve Buscemi) brokers a sale of illegal booze for visiting New York gangster Arnold Rothstein, and takes an interest in a local housewife with an abusive husband. Meanwhile, World War I veteran and Thompson protégé Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) meets a hoodlum from Chicago named Al Capone. [GMMR: Premiere night pre-show starts at 8:45pm.]

The Gates |  9 & 10pm on ABC | Season Finale

Mad Men | 10pm on AMC

A romantic gesture in the form of a thoughtful gift could lead to professional problems for Peggy. Stan is obnoxious when Peggy’s lesbian friend, Joyce, pays a visit to the offices.

The Glades | 10pm on A&E
“Booty”
Jim investigates the murder of a well-known treasure hunter and learns that Callie loves treasure lore, and the two go on an adventure tied to the case.

I wouldn’t say tonight’s TV is going to have you laughing in the aisles, but there’s some great drama happening on TV tonight.

With so much to choose from, let us know what YOU are watching. I’m going to watch BOARDWALK EMPIRE and MAD MEN (and the boat load of Fall screeners which I still haven’t watched. Uh oh.)
