TV Talk-Aug. 17
The Oklahoman’s TV Talk personalities Penny Soldan and Heather Warlick tape a weekly video for Newsok.tv that highlights upcoming TV programs worth watching.
They’re not fast talkers, but just in case you didn’t catch all the information for a show of interest, here is their script for the week of Aug. 17.
P: Welcome to TV Talk, your guide to what’s worth watching. I’m Penny Soldan, Heather Warlick is my co-host, and not only do we have a list of next week’s best bets, we also have all the dates for when your favorite Sunday shows return in fall.
H: That’s right, the official start of the 2008-2009 Primetime Network Television season is Sept. 22, and for the next six weeks, Penny and I will provide the series premiere dates for shows on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox and The CW. But first, let’s talk about next week.
P: Our top pick, which is also featured on the cover of TV Week, is “The Cheetah Girls One World,” an original TV movie premiering at 7 p.m. Friday on the Disney Channel.
H: Actress Raven-Symone had prior commitments that kept her from taking part in the three-month shoot in India, but the multi talented Sabrina Bryan, Kiely Williams and Adrienne Bailon are back for the third installment of the movie franchise.
P: Another must-see movie is “Dear Prudence” airing at 8 p.m. Saturday on the Hallmark Channel. This is a new mystery movie series starring Emmy winning actress Jane Seymour as a Martha Stewart-like TV personality whose homespun remedies end up helping police solve crimes.
H: She should send some tips to Domestic Diva to share with our readers. Speaking of domestic duties (or not), there’s going to be a roast on Comedy Central at 9 p.m. Sunday. Actor and comedian Bob Saget will be in the hot seat for “Comedy Central Roast of Bob Saget,” however viewer discretion is advised.
P: Premiering at 9 p.m. Monday on Discovery is “Into the Unknown With Josh Bernstein.” Josh is a traveler, explorer and educator who goes on a world-wide search to uncover hidden treasures and natural wonders.
H: “Dinner: Impossible” returns for a new season at 9 p.m. Wednesday on Food Network. Iron chef Michael Symon is the new host for the show, and his first challenge is to cook for an exclusive event being held at Alcatraz.
P: Two shows premiere Thursday. There’s “Tabatha’s Salon Takeover” at 9 p.m. on Bravo in which the former “Shear Genius” contestant offers advise to salon owners.
H: The other one is “The Principal’s Office” at 9 p.m. on Bravo. It looks at the daily drama that unfolds inside (where else?) the principal’s office. Tulsa East Central High School principal Tom O’Malley will be featured in a future episode.
P: And finally on Friday, another new show. “Who are You Wearing” premieres at 9 p.m. on TLC. Keisha Whitaker, wife of actor Forest Whitaker, serves as host, and would-be designers compete for the chance to design for — and dress — a celebrity for a red-carpet event.
H: Those are next week’s top picks. And now we are going to run through the premiere dates for Sunday’s broadcast network shows starting in September. The CW begins its new schedule Sept. 21 with three new shows — “In Harm’s Way” at 6 p.m., “Valentine” at 7 p.m. and “Easy Money” at 8 p.m.
P: The bulk of Sunday’s fall lineup returns Sept. 28. On ABC, there’s “Extreme Makoever: Home Edition”opening with a two-hour episode at 6 p.m., followed by the fifth-season premeire of “Desperate Housewives” at 8 p.m. and the third-season premiere of “Brothers & Sisters” at 9 p.m.
H: On CBS, there’s “60 Minutes” 41st-season premiere at 6 p.m., the 13th edition of “The Amazing Race” at 7 p.m., the sixth-season premiere of “Cold Case” at 8 p.m. and the fourth-season premiere of “The Unit” at 9 p.m.
P: And on Fox, there’s the 20th-season premiere of “The Simpsons” at 7 p.m., the 13th-season premiere of “King of the Hill” at 7:30, the seventh-season premiere of “Family Guy” at 8 p.m. and the fourth-season premiere of “American Dad” at 8:30.
H: NBC will be televising NFL football games in the fall and won’t debut its new Sunday shows “Merlin” and “Kings” until winter. And the other Sunday shows premiering after September are ABC’s “America’s Funniest Home Videos” at 6 p.m. Oct. 5 and The CW’s “Surviving Suburbia” at 6:30 p.n. Nov. 2.
