NBC announced today when their falls shows are premiering and I am not happy they are messing with Chicago Fire. That is the bad news, the good news is it looks like Neil Patrick Harris’ variety show is in trouble because they moved it up to before the scheduled start of the fall season, so they can get rid of it earlier. The move makes sense because the Oscars were his career’s death nail. I realize it wasn’t fully his fault, but he didn’t save them either. If the Academy Awards were his idea of variety, it didn’t win over America.
When it comes to the rest of the shows, People are Talking will be lucky to make it December the comedy is premiering in mid-October and most shows (minus Grimm) fail if the debut that late. Why am I not saying that about Chicago Med? Because that is a spinoff of Fire, Med and SVU, so I expect a big crossover launch for it.
What night are you most excited for? I can’t wait to have my Heroes back and to watch the cast of Undateable do the unthinkable every week and go live! I hope they can handle the hour because I wouldn’t be surprised that when People are Talking gets cancelled NBC asks them to do that every week.

We have seen a lot things on reality TV like couples having sex in a box or slicing off part of their fingers, but I don’t ever remember seeing anyone have such issues taking a poop that they needed a medic to assist. On Monday night, that is exactly what happens when Trey Williams feels like something isn’t coming out from down there and he is in so much pain because of it on NBC’s The Island.
Trey goes somewhere remote on The Island to do his business, but the pain is so intense that he screams in agony. Some of the others contestants hear him wailing and they ask for the doctor to help him out. Armed only with a pair of gloves, Dr Buck Parker goes in to save the day. What he discovers in there is bark, coconut shells and bark. When all is said and done, Trey is suffering from an anal fissure. Even though everything above it is now clear, the pain might be too much for him to continue. Will he stay? We will just have to tune in, but I am not sure we want to.
Some things are better left to the unknown on reality TV and that is on the top of the list!
Since I can’t go without making a joke (sorry Trey), we know reality show stars can be a pain in the a$$, but here is a contestant who really has a pain in the a$$. Folks, I will be here all week.

Tonight at 9p on NBC’s Aquarius, David Duchovny is playing a cop unlike any other one on television today.
The year is 1967, America is going through a change. The structured lifestyles of the 40’s and 50’s are being replaced by one of free love. It is taking the older generation some time to come to grips with the changes, but they have no choice.
Sam Hodiak (David Duchovny) is a decorated World War II vet and homicide detective, and his life is about to change with a phone call. His ex-girlfriend, from before they were both married with kids, calls him because her 16 year old daughter, Emma (Emma Dumont), has gone missing. Because her current husband is about to run for office, they need to keep her disappearance a secret. He takes on the case, and as soon as he does he starts hitting road blocks because the kids don’t want to talk to the uptight pig.
Brian Shafe (Grey Damon) has been working undercover, so he speaks like the people Hodiak needs to talk to. Together the two of them work as a team to find out what happened to Emma. The find out that she has run away to be with a man named, Charles Manson (Gethin Anthony).
Since this is 1967, Manson is not yet the man we know. Who is he? That is what we are going to find out little by little each week.
As Manson becomes the manipulative criminal that he is known for today, Hodiak will continue to search for him.
Aquarius is a look back at 48 years ago and how different it was then as it is now. After all it was the dawning of the age of Aquarius and the world was in the midst of a change.
The NBC procedural is different than all the others, not only because of when it takes place but also because of the styling. It captures the era and that uniqueness makes it so captivating to watch.

We know that Jon Jonas and Ciara can sing, Cheryl Burke can dance and Jeff Dye can do comedy, but can they spin a basketball like the Harlem Globetrotters? We will find out tonight and every Tuesday this summer at 10p on NBC’s I Can Do That.
Each week Cheryl Burke, Ciara, Jeff Dye, Joe Jonas, Alan Ritchinson and Nicole Scherzinger will have to chose whether or not they can do an act that was just offered to them. If they think they can do it, they have one week to master it and perform it for us. What do they get? There is no prize, but Jeff Dye says getting out his comfort zone is reward enough.
Now back to the choosing, 4 acts demonstrate their talents one at a time. After each act one celebrity locks in that talent for their own and brings one of the other contestants to join them. Sounds easy, but it isn’t. Dye explained at the NBC Summer Press Day, “Sometimes when you commit to an act, you get all upset. You know you got the first act and then something will come out after it and you’re like, I’m already locked in with this act because they’ve gotten such good acts.” Then he added, “Then other times you sleep on something, you wait and you’re like I don’t know if I want to do that. I don’t know if I want to do that. Then you’re just stuck with the third one, and you’re like, oh, now I’ve got a week of doing this. So there’s a lot of thinking going on, which I’m not used to.” Burke chimed in, “Or if there’s an act that we may already know how to do, we wouldn’t run up and get the act because it wouldn’t be fair.” Then she added, “So the whole point of the show is to really try and step out of your comfort zone and see us at our most vulnerable state. I think that’s the beauty of the show, is you get to see us. We’re all amazing at what we do, but can we do something else? To see our personalities shine through in a whole different light is why the show is amazing, honestly.”
Joe Jonas explained why he agreed to do it, “This show is something that I think a lot of us were kind of wondering what the concept would be, how it would work out, and we’re all thrilled we did it.” Adding, “I mean, for us as creative people, it’s amazing to get up and be put in a challenge where you can’t back down. You have to just give it your all for a week. It can be anything from the Blue Man Group to the Jabbawockeezs and the Harlem Globetrotters, of course. If you’re not giving your all, it can really be a funny outcome.” But if you give it your all, there can be consequences as Burke divulged, “I mean, I thought ballroom dancing was hard. I have never been sore like this in my life.”
So what type of approach do you take when you sign up for this show? Scherzinger said, “Balls to the wall.” Then she added, “In our first show, we were all looking at each other, we’re like what are we doing? We didn’t know but we were just going with it and going full throttle. So I was really excited. I’m like let’s do it.”
So find out if they can do it on I Can Do That!
