TV Talk: Sept. 21-27
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. 21:
P: Hi, I’m Penny Soldan, this is Heather Warlick and this is TV Talk, The Oklahoman’s weekly countdown of the Top 10 progams worth watching — or at least setting the VCR or DVR for.
H: No. 10 is the 2008 Tour of Gymnastics Superstars at 7 p.m. Friday on My Network TV. Olympian and Edmond native Shannon Miller will make a special appearance during this hour-long special. 2008 Olymmpic medal winners taking part include Nastia Liukin, Shawn Johnson and former OU gymnast Jonathan Horton.
P: Two daytime programs airing weekdays on KOCB-34 tie for No. 9. The new court show “Judge Jeanine Pirro” premieres at 3 p.m. Monday. The new game show “Trivial Pursuit” hosted by Christopher Knight from the Brady Bunch starts at 11 a.m. Monday.
H: Tying for No. 8 are two CBS Monday night shows that have added new cast members. Sara Gilbert from “Roseanne” will be Leonard’s on-again, off-again love interest on “The Big Bang Theory” which begins its second season at 7 p.m. And Megalyn Echikunwoka is the new medical examiner on “CSI: Miami,” which starts is seventh season at 9 p.m.
P: No. 7 is a three-part “American Masters” presentation airing at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday on OETA-13. Clint Eastwood narrates the program that celebrates 85 years of the motion picture company Warner Bros.
H: Tying for No. 6 are two shows that open the season with special guest stars. Lindsay Lohan will reprise her role as Betty’s high school nemesis on “Ugly Betty” at 7 p.m. Thursday on ABC. And Emmy winner Mary Tyler Moore will play the mom to Brooke Shields’ character on “Lipstick Jungle” at 9 p.m. Wednesday on NBC.
P: Putting his life on the line for the No. 5 spot is “David Blaine: Dive of Death.” Blaine will attempt to hang from a wire five stories in the air for three days, with the final hours airing live at 8 p.m. Wednesday on ABC.

And “Knight Rider” is a revival of the 1980s action series that premieres at 7 p.m. Wednesday on NBC.
P: No. 3, which is also featured on the cover of The Oklahoman’s TV Week, is “Heroes.” Since it’s been nine months since a new episode aired, NBC will start with an hourlong clip show at 7 p.m. Monday and follow that up with the two-hour Season 3 premiere.
H: No. 2 is a tie (imagine that) between two popular reality shows. “Dancing With the Stars” kicks off Season 7 at 7 p.m. Monday on ABC. And “Survivor: Gabon” begins its 17th installment at 7 p.m. Thursday on CBS.
P: Hosts Tom Bergeron from “Dancing With the Stars” and Jeff Probst from “Survivor” also have a hand in the No. 1 pick of the week, The 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. They will co-host the event along with the other nominees for the new reality/competition host category.
H: The Emmys air live at 7 p.m. Sunday on ABC. Nominees with Oklahoma ties are Broken Arrow native Kristin Chenoweth for “Pushing Daisies”; Tulsa native Alfre Woodard for “Pictures of Hollis Woods”; Lee Pace for “Pushing Daisies” (he was born in Chicasha); and Holly Hunter, who plays Oklahoma City police detective in “Saving Grace.”
