Life makes its debut tonight on NBC at 10 and the show definitely looks it might have a long Life with NBC!
"Life" is a new drama about a detective who is given a second chance. Damian Lewis ("Band of Brothers") stars as complex, offbeat Detective Charlie Crews, who, thanks to close friend and attorney Constance Griffiths (Brooke Langton), returns to the force after serving time in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
The cast also includes Sarah Shahi ("Rush Hour 3") as Charlie’s skeptical, demanding partner, Robin Weigert (HBO's "Deadwood") as their hard-hitting lieutenant, and Adam Arkin ("Chicago Hope") as Crews’ former cellmate Ted Earley.
This is another show that when I read the description I was like so what, but again I was wrong. The show is a cop procedural, but it has some humor and is a little more Zen than the others. You will get what I mean by that when you watch the show tonight. Besides being a cop show, we find out at the end of the pilot he is looking into who to set him up. I can't wait to see how that plays out.
So tune into Life tonight at 10p on NBC.

OMG! House is back and better than ever!!! House as we know lost his team in the season finale and I have to admit I don't miss them at all!!! We get some new characters like Wicked Wilson and Conniving Cuddy and both are so awesome! There is something about the way that the three play together that House doesn't need his team. After watching the first two episodes, you kind of feel that they have been weighing him down for the last three seasons…sorry to Jennifer Morrison, Omar Epps and Jesse Spencer. Besides getting Wicked Wilson and Conniving Cuddy we get a new bunch of doctors (40 to be exact) trying to get a fellowship with House. They include Olivia Wilde from The Black Donnellys, Kal Penn from Harold and Kumar go to The White Castle and Peter Jacobson from The Starter Wife. The new doctors bring new specialties and new interesting ways to solve the cases. BTW the cases are just as good as they were always were and not as predictable because like I said new specialties new ways to solve the cases!!! And for those you who really like House's old team, don't worry they slowly come back in the second episode!
So tune into House tonight on Fox at 9p (after Bones) to see what is shaping up to be the best season ever!!!

Bones is back on the case tonight on Fox at 8p!!! |

Bones is back where it belongs with House on Tuesdays at 8p on Fox! The show picks up a few months later with a bunch of new hair-dos, Zach is still in Iraq, Angela and Hodgins are still not married but wanting to and Booth and Bones are acting awkward together after being left at the alter. Once you get through all those updates, there is still a case that has to be solved and believe me you will sink your teeth into this case. Unlike other seasons it looks like this case will go on and develop through the next few episodes which is fine with me because this show is not as predictable as the other procedurals!
What keeps this show around is that is really good and the chemistry is one of the best on primetime TV and their cases and the way that they handle them is so different than the other shows!
If you never seen Bones before and are afraid because it is in its third season it is too late, scrap that because you can rent the first 2 seasons on DVD and you don't really need to see them to get the idea of what is going on with the show!
So tune into Bones on Fox tonight at 8p and sink your teeth in to this great show!!!
BTW I really hope Fox brings back Stephen Fry as Booth's psychiatrist!!!

When I read the premise of Reaper, I said no way can this show be for real or that I would watch it but boy I was wrong.
For the first 20 years of his life, Sam (Bret Harrison, "The Loop," "Grounded for Life") wondered why his parents went so easy on him. Whether it was school, sports or career choices, Sam's mom (Allison Hossack, "Falcon Beach") and dad (Andrew Airlie, "The L Word") always let him get by with the least possible effort. As a result, Sam skipped college, took a dead-end job at the local Work Bench home improvement store and now wastes endless hours playing video games. Everything in his slacker world changed the day Sam turned 21 and discovered the ungodly reason his parents let him slide: they sold his soul to the devil before he was even born.
When Satan himself (Ray Wise, "24," "The Closer") drops by to personally explain that Sam must now serve as his bounty hunter, tracking down evil souls that have escaped and returning them to Hell, Sam refuses to accept his bizarre fate. After getting just a glimpse of Satan's temper, however, Sam realizes that breaking a deal with the devil has consequences that are very, very bad. Still, Sam is fascinated by the devil's charm and his flattering insistence that Sam is full of untapped potential.
Armed with a constantly changing series of vessels — starting with a Dirt Devil mini-vacuum — to collect the escapees, Sam finds that his new line of work is dangerous and frightening, even with the goofball help of his friends and co-workers Bert "Sock" Wysocki (Tyler Labine, "Boston Legal," "Invasion") and Ben (Rick Gonzalez, "Coach Carter"), along with Sock's former-girlfriend-turned-paralegal, Josie (Valarie Rae Miller, "Dark Angel"). Sock has been Sam's closest friend and slacker role model for many years and was the first person Sam turned to with the news about his gig with the devil.
Though his life has suddenly turned weird and scary, Sam is surprised to find that he somehow feels good about his newfound "mission" — removing evil-doers from the world and sending them back where they belong. Back when nothing was expected of him, Sam never had to push himself to achieve. Now, with his friends and his trusty vessel-of-the-week at his side, Sam is ready to face his destiny as the Reaper.
After reading that aren't you like WTF, but there is so much more to the show and plenty of laughs. The show really surprised me, I actually added it to my DVR and I never thought it was going to happen before I watched it. The show is actually sweet and and I like the chemistry between the cast and the way their friendships play out.
I can't wait to see what other souls Sam has to vacuum up in his dirt devil! So tune into The CW tonight at 9p and watch Sam become a Reaper!

Cane is CBS latest family drama and this one is going to be as hot as the city is based in…Miami!
CANE is an epic drama about the external rivalries and internal power struggles of a large Cuban-American family running an immensely successful rum and sugar business in South Florida. When the family patriarch, Pancho, is offered a lucrative but questionable deal by his bitter adversaries, the Samuels, to purchase thousands of acres of sugar fields, he's faced with a tough choice: Should he cash out of the sugar business and focus solely on rum, which would please his impulsive natural son, Frank, or protect the family legacy that he built from the ground up by not selling, and side with his adopted son, Alex, who mistrusts the Samuels and still sees value in sugar? Alex and Frank's approach to business is as different as their approach to life. While Frank might lose focus chasing women, Alex is deeply in love with his beautiful wife, Isabel, who is also Pancho's daughter. Married when she was just 17 years old, Isabel balances Alex by choosing not to involve herself in the business, focusing instead on their three children, Jaime, Katie and Artie, who are determined to forge their own paths outside the family. Jaime has a deep love for his father, but also yearns to make it on his own outside of the family business and when he's accepted to a reputable college he must face the decision to please Alex or stick by his beloved girlfriend Rebecca and choose a new life. Katie is their rebellious teenage daughter who looks and acts far older than she is. Henry, Pancho's youngest son, prefers to stand in the sidelines while his oldest siblings battle for control of the Duque's interests. While her sons wrestle with their own personal difficulties and secrets, Pancho's wife, Amalia, sees to the normal inter-personal conflicts that occur within an extended family and bridges the gap between the three generations hosting the family's large music-filled cookouts and lively dinners. For the Duques, will family allegiance come first or will their secrets and acrimonious conflicts over love, lust and control of the family fortune be their downfall?
While this show is not necessarily my cup of cafe con leche, that does not mean the show won't be a success. Out of all the new shows I have seen this is the one I can see going on to getting nominated for several Emmys. The problem I had with it, is just the fact that I lived in Miami for so many years and I just couldn't get used to so many non-Cubans playing Cubans. It is kind of like when people of a certain accent can't stand when they hear someone fake it. If the show was not about a Cuban family I would have liked it a lot more.
So if you not familiar with the whole Miami/Cuban thing then you will really like this show. So tune into to Cane tonight on CBS at 10p
