Dumont Prime Choices

MY WEDNESDAY PRIME:

LIVE:

8:00 pm Democratic Debate (ABC) -> This pivotal debate will have to wait (until "Under One Roof" finishes, which I am recording and watching live from 8-8:30 pm).

10:00 pm Men in Trees (ABC) -> There is still a chance for this sweet and gentle series about the lives and loves of a group of fun and interesting people who live in Elmo, Alaska. A 3+ in A18-49 would cinch it...everyone who loves this series, phone someone tomorrow night and tell them what a great show they're missing.


LATER:

If It's Flavor Flav, In Living Color and Impossible Magic, then
It's Wednesdays on MyNetworkTV

8:00 pm Under One Roof (ABC) -> As the adverts promise, there's a new flavor to MyNetworkTV, and tonight we get to see what all the fuss has been about. Watch this one and be part of television history (first MNT sitcom)and because the ratings are going to go through the roof!

8:30 pm The Very Best of In Living Color (MyNetworkTV) -> This is the series that launched Mr. Jim Carrey...I wonder if he'll come back to do a cast commentary soon (I heard he was peddling his latest film live on American Idol).

9:00 pm - Masters of Illusion: Impossible Magic (MyNetworkTV) -> As reported in the MyNetworkTV upfront thread, this special miniseries is going to play a big part of the fall schedule on Mondays at 9 pm as part of a new umbrella series called "Magic Secrets" which it will share with the "Breaking the Magicians Code" special series. And new episodes are coming for fall too.

10:00 pm The General (TCM) -> What a treat this is to savour for late night watching...Mr. Buster Keaton in one of his legendary silent classics. I only hope that this 10 pm TCM screening does not draw away too many live viewers from Men In Trees.

Live: nada
Later: Big Brother, Til Death, Back to You, Under One Roof

Live:
Maybe some of the ABC debate

Lucky You (HBO)


Lucky us: Curtis Hanson and veteran screenwriter Eric Roth's (FORREST GUMP, MUNICH) cleverly constructed script ensures that gambling newbies don't have to know a thing about Texas hold-'em or seven-card stud to enjoy this romantic drama, a well-acted character piece set in the high-stakes world of Vegas poker. Eric Bana & Drew Barrymore star.

Top Chef (Bravo)

DEMOCRAT DEBATE.....8pm ABC

CRIMINAL MINDS.....9pm CBS

Ratings Watch:CSI: NY. Retention is strong and its fall numbers were good. But this show has not capitalized on the weakness in the time period its first few weeks back, which is something it has ably done when given the opportunity in the past.
