TV It’s on TV Tonight!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Wed, Oct 3 at 2:18 PM

Big night for TV watching with new shows, old shows and a big season finale!

• 8:00 ABC PUSHING DAISIES—This stylish com-dram is touted to be THE “must watch” of the new season. A guy has the ability to bring anything back from the dead—unfortunately, something else must die in the process. CONUNDRUM!

• 10:00 COM SOUTH PARK—Arguably America’s most offensive show (if you don’t count that Christian program starring Kirk Cameron) is back for its 11th season… and guess what? Cartman has Tourette’s Syndrome!

• 10:00 BRAVO TOP CHEF—It’s the startling season finale for this cooking show in which we learn “who will win—that one guy? Or the other guy?”

• 10:30 COM THE SARAH SILVERMAN PROGRAM—Sarah returns for her second season with this HEE-LARIOSO episode in which she accidentally gets involved with a plot to blow up an abortion clinic. Here’s a promo clip for this coming season!

Regarding your quip about Top Chef? It's not that one guy or that other guy: it's that woman! Go Casey!

Bryan Fuller is made of awesome. I think Daisies is going to be great.

Bryan Fuller's usually pretty great. Too bad Daisies sucks. It's the most annoying pilot I've ever seen.

Just watched Pushing Daisies, and I thought it was pretty fun! Not fantastic, but far more clever than 80 percent of the stuff out there. If that's the most annoying pilot you've ever seen, I would guess you haven't watched much TV.

I've watched a lot of mediocre TV, which might be bad, but not annoying. Very few shows that work so hard to try to charm me with insufferably precious voiceover and set design. This was the most cloyingly cutesy show I've seen. It made my skin crawl.
