Dumont Prime ChoicesOn the eighth night of the 2008 May Sweep, an abundance of quality programming beckons.
MY THURSDAY PRIME: LIVE:8:00 pm
Ugly Betty (ABC) -> Last week was good, especially the way Betty got rescued in that restaurant by her nobler suitor.
9:00 pm
Supernatural (The CW) -> The best CW series disappointed a bit last week with a rather pallid reality-takeoff episode, but that's one of very few disappointing episodes out of roughly 60.
Find yourself Lost this Thursday on ABC
10:02 pm
Lost (ABC) -> I have to confess, I start to roll my eyes when the smoke-monster makes an appearance, and those episodes have been my least favourite. Hopefully the monster is back in the cage for the rest of the season, and we can return back to the character interplay that makes this series so very special.
LATER:Thursdays are My Night for Movies on MyNetworkTV
8:00 pm –
Taking Lives (MyNetworkTV) -> This is a MyNetworkTV broadcast premiere, and it looks quite interesting with the cast...Miss Angelina Jolie, Mr. Ethan Hawke and Mr. Kiefer Sutherland amongst others. MNT movies with Mr. Sutherland tend to gather up good ratings (Phone Booth), so MNT will get a good start to its second Sweep week.
8:30 pm
Scrubs (NBC) -> NBC is really trying to hide this sitcom away from the public...absolutely no promotion, erratic scheduling...I cannot wait for it to leap to ABC.
9:00 pm
The Office (NBC) -> All the post-strike episodes have been classics.
9:30 pm
30 Rock (NBC) -> Another series that has landed running from the writers strike.
