TV Talk: Jan. 18-24
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 Jan. 18:
P: Hi, I’m Penny Soldan, this is Heather Warlick and this is TV Talk, The Oklahoman’s weekly countdown of the Top 10 programs worth watching — or at least setting the DVR or VCR for.
H: No. 10 is “Miss America Live” at 7 p.m. Saturday on TLC. Kelsey Cartwright of Collinsville will represent Oklahoma at the 84th annual event live from the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Nevada. Mario Lopez will host the pageant.
P: “The Powerpuff Girls Rule” is No. 9 our list. This new animated special airs at 7 p.m. Monday on Cartoon Network. But fans will want to tune in beginning at 5 a.m. Monday for ”The Powerpuff Girls” 14-hour marathon.
H: No. 8 is “Gone Country” at 7 p.m. Saturday on CMT. Singer John Rich from Big & Rich returns as host of this series that brings together celebrities hoping to create a hit country music single. Contenders for Season 3 include Miss USA 2006 Tara Conner, The Monkees drummer Micky Dolenz and “American Idol” alum Justin Guarini.

P: The show’s fifth season premieres at 8 p.m. Wednesday on ABC. But tune in at 7 p.m. for the “Lost Clip Show” that will take an in-depth look at the mysteries of the island, its inhabitants and the Oceanic 6.
