TV Talk: Sept. 7-13
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 Sept. 7:
P: Hi, I’m Penny Soldan and back in the co-host chair is Heather Warlick. And this week on TV Talk, we are going to countdown the Top 10 programs worth watching — or at least setting the VCR or DVR for.
H: And No. 10 should prove quite helpful, as well. It is “The Doctors,” a new syndicated talk show airing at 3 p.m. weekdays on KWTV-9. It will provide viewers with a source of medical and health advice dispensed daily by five doctors, including emergency room physician Travis Stork (he was “The Bachelor” in Paris on ABC).
P: No. 9 on our list is “Do Not Disturb,” a new comedy that premieres at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday on Fox. Jerry O’Connell from “Sliders” and Niecy Nash from “Reno 911!” star in this series that focuses on the staff at one of New York City’s hippest hotels.
H: No. 8 is the syndicated weekday version of “Deal or No Deal.” It is 30 minutes instead of an hour, but you can can catch an hour each day with different episodes airing at 2 p.m. on KOCB-34 and 5 p.m. on KOKH-25. There are other differences from the primetime version, but Howie, the host, is the same.
P: On to No. 7, which is a tie between two new syndicated courtroom shows. There’s “Judge Karen” at 2:30 p.m. on KOKH-25, and “Family Court With Judge Penny” at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. on KSBI-52.
H: No. 6 is the return of “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” at 7 p.m. Monday on Fox. In the second-season premiere, John’s 16th birthday forces him to confront the reality of his destiny.
P: No. 5 is “Hole in the Wall,” a new body-bending game show that is already a hit in Japan, Germany, Russia, India and 12 other countries. Viewers can catch 30 minutes previews at 7 p.m. Sunday and at 8:35 p.m. Tuesday on Fox. The hour-long premiere is at 7 p.m. Thursday.
H: I am privileged to announce that No. 4 on our list is “Privileged.” This new series premieres at 8 p.m. Tuesday on The CW and stars JoAnna Garcia as a live-in tutor to wild and wealthy teenage twin sisters. It is based on the best-selling book “How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls” by Zoe Dean.
P: A trio of specials come in at No. 3. There’s “America United: In Support of our Troops” at 8 p.m. Sunday on ABC featuring Toby Keith as one of the performers. At 8 p.m. Monday on ABC there’s “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock,” featuring Carrie Underwood as one of the performers. And then “Fashion Rocks” at 8 p.m. Tuesday on CBS with lots of musical artists but none from Oklahoma that we know of.
H: No. 2 is “True Blood,” a new series from “Six Feet Under” creator Alan Ball. It premieres at 8 p.m. Sunday on HBO and stars Oscar winner Anna Pacquin from “The Piano.” She plays a young waitress with telepathic powers who falls in love with a 173-year-old vampire.
P: And No. 1, if you don’t count the OU Sooners football game against Washington at 6:45 p.m. Saturday on ESPN, is “Fringe.”
H: “Fringe,” which is also featured on the cover of TV Week, is a new series from “Lost” creator J.J. Abrams. It premieres at 7 p.m. Tuesday on Fox and stars Australian actress Olivia Dunham. She plays an FBI Special Agent who investigates paranormal occurrences with the help of a scientist and his son.
P: That does it for the Top 10. Now, let’s run through the fall premiere dates for Wednesday’s primetime network shows.
H: “America’s Next Top Model” and “Bones” premiered Sept. 3, and “Do Not Disturb” and “Til Death” begin Sept. 10.
P: On Sept. 24, NBC premieres the new “Knight Rider” series and the second season of “Lipstick Jungle.”
H: CBS starts its new Wednesday lineup on Sept. 24. “The New Adventures of Old Christine” will be followed by the new comedy “Gary Unmarried.” And rounding out the night are “Criminal Minds” and “CSI: NY.”
P: On Oct. 1, ABC brings back “Pushing Daisies,” “Private Practice” and “Dirty Sexy Money.” And on Oct. 22, the CW premieres “Stylista.”
H: That’s a wrap for this week. For even more TV choices, consult TV Week in Sunday’s Oklahoman or go online to newsok.com/TV. Thanks for your time.
