Shows to Watch in 2006
Fire up the DVRs because there’s a lot of great TV coming on this year (all times Central):
Show | Day & Time | Network | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Arrested Development | Mondays at 7:00 | Fox | A very funny show, although it pains my mom to watch more than one half-hour at a time. |
Gauntlet 2 | Mondays at 9:00 | MTV | Not my favorite competition show, but still enjoyable. |
Scrubs | Tuesdays at 8:00 | NBC | A very funny medical show starring Zach Braff, writer/director of Garden State. |
House | Tuesdays at 8:00 | Fox | An amusing show, although lately House has become a little too jerky. |
Four Kings | Thursdays at 7:30 | NBC | This show premieres on Jan 5. Most of Seth Green’s shows, such as Greg the Bunny, have been amusing, but failures. This one doesn’t seem to be anything special, but I’ll watch and hope. |
My Name is Earl | Thursdays at 8:00 | NBC | A good show. |
The Office | Thursdays at 8:30 | NBC | A very funny show about office politics starring Steve Carell. They’ve really started developing the minor characters which adds a lot of great depth to the show. |
Stargate SG-1 | Fridays at 7:00 | Sci-Fi | The second half of the Ninth season should be interesting and entertaining. |
Stargate Atlantis | Fridays at 8:00 | Sci-Fi | This show is getting better, and I think they’re going to make a lot of changes this season. |
Battlestar Galactica | Fridays at 9:00 | Sci-Fi | One of the best Sci-Fi shows I’ve seen. It’s in its second season, and if you need to catch up, Sci-Fi is running past episodes from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Jan 5. |
And of course watch for the Sunday Line-Up: The Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad. Other shows coming back this year are some great ones on FX: Rescue Me with Denis Leary, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and Starved.
